Max Adeler pseud. i.e Charles Heber Clark : Out of the Hurly Burly: or Life in an Odd Corner

'At the foot of the bed was an oak "library table" [...]. There were several piles of books on it, W. W. Jacobs for light reading, de Maupassant, Flaubert, Galsworthy, Cunninghame Graham, various periodicals, and a book, which has always been a mystery to me, "Out of the Hurly Burly" by Max Adler. In the window stood an arm chair of cherry wood, lacquered black, on which my father often sat to read for half an hour or so before "turning in".'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book
