Excerpt from One of Life's Slaves
Lie himself, in speaking of this work, says that a writer should aim at presenting his subject in such a way that the reader may see, hear, feel, and comprehend it with the utmost possible intensity. This precept he has certainly put into practice in the present instance, for the subject is treated with such power and so full a grasp, that in reading the book one feels an actual anxiety, an oppression as of approaching disaster. This, at any rate, is the case with the original, and I trust that its power has not been altogether lost in the process of rendering into another language, but that the stamp of genuineness, the author's leading characteristic, may to some extent be found also in this translation.
