Sinossi
Excerpt from The Isle of Temptation
Soomm or later the conventional mirror in which we see the strange pageant of life must be broken. In this process it is inevitable that the realist lay emphasis not upon beauty and goodness, which stalk, mere abstract puppets, across the mild pages of the New England novelist, but that he depict, nnfiinchingly, the everlasting impulses that sway the majority of men. The world, as Matthew Arnold pointed out, lives by its prejudices and its passions, not by its reason or its soul. An honest record of that life, concerned not with irrelevant detail, but giving its essential motives, will achieve no school-book lesson, but that fundamental moral energy which is inseparable from sincerity and truth.
