Rodale's Garden Problem Solver by Jeff Ball

Rodale's Garden Problem Solver by Jeff Ball

Sentimental Stories by Guatemalan born Enrique G mez Carrillo, man of letters, duelist and dandy, originally published in 1900 and here presented in English for the first time in a translation by Jessica Sequeira, is an exquisite selection of nine tales that covers the ground from desire to insanity, fulfillment in erotic love to suffering in intense anguish.

In these stories of solitary figures struggling with incorrigible sentimentality, we meet an aspiring poet who becomes obsessed with what he believes to be Cleopatra's wig, an eccentric doctor who sells a cure for artistic enthusiasm to fictional writers and artists, and a military man who suffers from jealousy due to an anonymous letter, all told with the light touch of a writer who found beauty in surfeit and exaggeration, dissolution and extravagance.

Ball, Stuart: - Stuart Ball is Reader in History at the University of Leicester, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. His previous books include Baldwin and the Conservative Party, The Conservative Party and Parliment and Politics in the Age of Churchill and Attlec: the Headlam Diaries 1935-1951.
