Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Temptation of St. Anthony
IT was at some period between 1875 and 1876 that Lafcadio Hearn - still a cub re porter on a daily paper in Cincinnati-began his translation of Flaubert's Temptation of St. Anthony. The definitive edition of the work, over which the author had laboured for thirty years, had appeared in 1874.
