Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Man Who Outlived Himself

There were six of us who undertook the study of the noble Castilian tongue under most peculiar conditions. We were not very well equipped according to the notions of the schools, having but three books, if I remem ber rightly - the immortal story of Cervantes, a small spanish-french dictionary, and a Spanish Testament, with a vocabulary at tached. You generally held the text, by rea son of your proprietorship of the books, I suppose, or perhaps because you had some advantage over the others in having gathered knowledge of the pronunciation from a pre vious brief companionship with one whose authority on the subject was unquestionable.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Man Who Outlived Himself

I often wondered which of the little group of brave men it might be whose life-secret was hidden by the seals of this baffling brown paper parcel. As it happened, the fate of three out of the four who were accounted dead was wrapped in mystery. Two of them had disappeared during the conflict, another some years afterward. Only one was incon testably dead. None of them bore a name at all resembling the one attached to this letter, and I had never known a oerson of this name in my life.
