Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mountains of Necessity
The speaker was a big, good-looking, soldierly man of about forty, attired in a white linen suit. He was seated before a shabby mahogany writing table of many drawers (which stood in the centre of a large, bare, whitewashed room, remarkable for its untidiness), and accentuated the vigour of his remark by placing the note he had just written, face downwards on a piece of blotting paper, and smiting it violently with the palm of his hand.
