Excerpt from LegendenThe qualities so catching at first sight the brilliancy of diction, a breathless progress of action, the sledge hammer way of saying and doing things are almost absent in Keller. Quietly he goes about his business, and quietly the mirror of his eyes and soul re¿ects the great and small things of his universe. His eyes are those of an artist, but of a Teuton artist, who is attracted rather by what is characteristic than by what is merely beautiful in outline and color. His soul is that of a Swiss, who is happiest when he creates and reproduces what is dearest to him: his Swiss people and his Swiss country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
