Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Somewhere in the Other World, where there are books and pictures and plays and shop windows to look at, and thousands of men who spend their lives in building up all four, lives a gentleman who writes real stories about the real insides of people; and his name is Mr. Walter Besant. But he will insist upon treating his ghosts - he has published half a workshopful of them - with levity. He makes his ghost-seers talk familiarly, and, in some cases, flirt outrageously, with the phantoms. You may treat anything, from a Viceroy to a Vernacular Paper, with levity; but you must behave reverently toward a ghost, and particularly an Indian one.

Notă biografică

Julian Hawthorne (1846-1934) was an American writer and journalist. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of the famous novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne spent much of his childhood in Europe, where his father was serving as the US consul in Liverpool and Rome. After completing his education, Hawthorne worked as a journalist and became the editor of the New York Tribune in 1882. He also wrote numerous works of fiction, including several novels and short stories. Hawthorne's writing style was heavily influenced by his father's work, and he often explored themes of morality, guilt, and sin in his own writing. He also wrote about politics, history, and social issues, and was a frequent contributor to magazines and newspapers. Hawthorne spent ten years abroad, studied civil engineering in Germany and the United States, worked as an engineer in the New York City Dock Department for General McClellan (1870-1872). He also met Minne Amelung at this time. On November 15, 1870, she and Hawthorne were wed in Orange, New Jersey. Despite these setbacks, Hawthorne continued to write and publish throughout his life. He was known for his wit, humor, and literary talent, and his work was praised by many of his contemporaries. Today, he is remembered as a prolific writer and journalist who made important contributions to American literature and journalism.
