![]() ![]() Well, here it is! Since they will not have the insidious poem, they shall tell it themselves-and have both the blame and the praise. Now be sensible, they say, or words to that flattering effect, "and tell the plain people plainly how the story was born how it went out into world and touched the great universal heart, as ready to be touched as some rare instrument and as difficult how it became a play-grand opera (the very first American story any European composer has set to music, according to those who are wise in such matters-though I don't believe it) what the people have said about it,-et cetera." But they have detected and scorned it, and it is now returned with the reproach that eight pages are thus left by my default to be filled or something will happen to the book and to the public-and to me. It was, and still is, a poem of the most obscure and exalted nature, concealed in prose dithyrambics. I had hoped to have the happiness of never writing a preface (for which the prelude is the publisher's cunning disguise), but one disobeys one's publishers at a certain distinct peril.īeing thus constrained, I had sent them a prelude, indeed. SINCE Cho-Cho-San is to have a reincarnation on the way to the literary Nirvana, my publishers, who, in this rebirth, represent the Great First Cause, beg me for a prelude. ![]() THE GOOD CONSUL'S COMPASSIONATE LYINGīIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH MADAME BUTTERFLY INTRODUCTION A SONG OF SORROW - AND DEATH - AND HEAVEN ![]() ![]() ![]() Will Damron has won several Earphones Awards and been a finalist for the prestigious Audie Award for best narration.

And the men who hurt her will stop at nothing to find her. She has fled to the island to escape terrible danger and unimaginable cruelty. Then one day Jai tangled fair hair, clothes stiff with dirt, scars on her back arrives on a ship. But now Maresi is here, and she knows it is real. ![]() In a world where girls aren't allowed to learn or do as they please, an island inhabited solely by women sounded like a fantasy. ![]() Before then, she had only heard rumours of its existence in secret folk tales.

He rather felt that Andromache - the paragon of passivity - was the heroine every lady of breeding should pattern herself after. In Rutherston`s view, women should be sweet, docile, and biddable. Well, Catherine may have been a green girl, but she could give as good as she got - as the Marquis would soon discover. ![]() It seemed to amuse that notorious womanizer to bait her with his own surprisingly excellent command of Greek literature. Hippolytus, she felt, was the epitome of male virtue - high-minded, lofty in his ideals, and completely the opposite of the rude and infuriating Marquis of Rutherston, her family`s new neighbor.
