'Arrived: A book with a Chinese title of Scandinavian authorship translated by Mrs Reynolds. I am touched and pleased indeed by the kind`attention. Have looked into it alreday with the translator alone in view. And that is all right. That's all I have to say.

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book
