Life and Adventures of Jack Engle An Auto-Biography; A Story of New York at the Present Time in which the Reader Will Find Some Familiar Characters【電子書籍】[ Walt Whitman ]

<p>In 1852, young Walt Whitmanーa down-on-his-luck housebuilder in Brooklynーwas hard at work writing two books. One would become one of the most famous volumes of poetry in American history, a free-verse revelation beloved the world over, <em>Leaves of Grass</em>. The other, a novel, would be published under a pseudonym and serialized in a newspaper. A short, rollicking story of orphanhood, avarice, and adventure in New York City, <em>Life and Adventures of Jack Engle</em> appeared to little fanfare.</p> <p>Then it disappeared.</p> <p>No one laid eyes on it until 2016, when literary scholar Zachary Turpin, University of Houston, followed a paper trail deep into the Library of Congress, where the sole surviving copy of <em>Jack Engle</em> has lain waiting for generations. Now, after more than 160 years, the University of Iowa Press is honored to reprint this lost work, restoring a missing piece of American literature by one of the world’s greatest authors, written as he verged on immortality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
