Reveries of a Bachelor

Gelesen von Lee Smalley

(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)

Reveries of a Bachelor, or A Book of the Heart, is a novel by American author Donald Grant Mitchell published under the pseudonym Ik Marvel.
Paul, the protagonist, vividly and emotionally recalls his life and loves as he sits by his fireplace smoking a cigar, his old dog sleeping at his feet. He muses on boyhood, the country lifestyle and travel, but especially on the young women he knew, or perhaps imagines he knew, through the years.
The first two reveries were originally serialized in a magazine, and subsequently all four were published in book format. A bestseller, it was one of poet Emily Dickinson's favorite books. ( Lee Smalley) (6 hr 51 min)
