Produktbeschreibung
A quiet miracle from the old American west, newly alive for today's readers. The Bell-Ringer Of Angel's, And Other Stories gathers frontier voices with warmth, humour, and hard-won wisdom. This illustrated short fiction collection offers more than pages and plots. It pairs vivid California frontier settings with keen social observation, weaving gold rush anecdotes and frontier morality tales into a tapestry that speaks to both casual readers and students of literature. Harte's humane touch, mingling humour with tragedy, renders 19th century america in a way that resonates with classic literature fans and modern explorers of the american frontier short stories tradition. It's a touchstone for fans of mark twain stories and other california gold rush writers, while remaining accessible to readers new to this enduring canon. This edition matters beyond nostalgia: it marks a literary and historical waypoint, preserving voices that shaped American storytelling. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the collection has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a beautifully faithful witness to a time when the pulse of the gold rush and the moral questions of frontier life shaped a nation. A must for researchers, classrooms, and lovers of classic western tales alike.
Autorenporträt
Francis Bret Harte (1836 - 1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted and admired.
