Sudermann, como todos los escritores de las razas del Norte, es hondamente intenso bajo la aparente sencillez de los temas que desarrolla, que encierran curiosos y emocionantes casos de morbosidades morales. En El Deseo, una de las mejores obras del novelista germano, la trama gira, principalmente, alrededor de tres personajes, y, en esencia, dentro del alma de una muchacha, de origen humilde, extraordinariamente dotada por la Naturaleza, mental y físicamente, pero a quien profundos desequilibrios nerviosos, le forman una vida de tortura, mezcla de pasión, de cariño, de iracundias y de bondades, predominando siempre una sensibilidad casi enfermiza, casi mística, para los impulsos y actos nobles.

A novel of addiction, recovery and the social cost of substance abuse treatment. It’s a novel about redemption. And failure. A story of small mistakes, smaller victories and the unintended consequences of decisions made in the name of emotional health. It is a novel without car chases.

In a short biography the reader must expect short statements, rather than detailed arguments, and in a popular tale he will not look for embattled lists of authorities. But if he can be stirred up to search further into the matter for himself, he will find a list of authorities ancient and modern come not unacceptable to begin upon.

They have been called for on important occasions both abroad and in all parts of our own country. They have covered many phases of the subject, but have preserved a singular uniformity of purpose and consistency of ideas throughout.

A chapter is given to each species of bird, and the chapters are arranged in a sort of chronological order, according to the time of the bird's arrival in the spring, the nesting time, or the season when for some other reason the species is particularly conspicuous. In taking the stories out of their original setting a few slight verbal alterations have been necessary here and there, but these have been made either by Mr. Burroughs himself or with his approval.

Institutions under which Europe has lived for centuries, above all the Church, have been discussed with a good deal more fullness than is usual in similar manuals. The life and work of a few men of indubitably first-rate importance in the various fields of human endeavor--Gregory the Great, Charlemagne, Abelard, St. Francis, Petrarch, Luther, Erasmus, Voltaire, Napoleon, Bismarck--have been treated with care proportionate to their significance for the world. Lastly, the scope of the work has been broadened so that not only the political but also the economic, intellectual, and artistic achievements of the past form an integral part of the narrative.
