THE BOOK OF CARLOTTA:
_The Autobiography of a Woman's Heart._
Price $1.20 Net
THE BOOK OF CARLOTTA presents the woman of genius--who belongs neitherto the middle-class nor to any other class, but simply to her genius,and to the passions of her own heart.
The book is a woman's soul confession written in the first person. Insheer audacity of purpose it outstrips all Arnold Bennett's other novelswith the exception of THE OLD WIVES' TALE. In the first place, it is anintimate record of a woman's secret psychology; in the second, the womanis a woman of genius, which necessitates a continual flow of brilliancyon the author's part; in the third, it is a novel written in the Frenchmanner by an Englishman.
Carlotta is an extraordinary creation--a woman apart. She stands amongthe rebels of fiction and biography--the people who have dared to bewhat they are. The motive of her whole life is self-fulfillment as sheknows it, even though this means the defiance of laws.
Everything contributes to the last great climax entitled _Victory_.
