Part 3
These stories are fascinating studies of Russia and present the intensely human side of a great people. They give one an understanding of Russian national life and character which is far more vivid than any historical work could possibly be.

I, MARY MACLANE
A DIARY OF HUMAN DAYS
By MARY MACLANE
“So I write this book of Me—my Soul, my Heart, my sentient Body, my magic Mind: their potentialities and contradictions.”
Here is a curtain drawn aside—disclosing a soul essentially rare and unusual, dwelling apart. Its attributes are lyric beauty; chaotic disregard of the conventionalities; passionate humanness; and a sense of humor which is elusive, creative, delicate.
The frankest and most startling personal record of a woman’s life that has come up in generations. This book is an adventure of the spirit cast in heroic dimensions—an epic of struggle and victory, heights and depths, which will hold the reader spellbound.
Gertrude Atherton says:
“Mary MacLane’s book is as great a piece of literature as I felt sure it would be, absorbingly interesting, and so original that no one else in the world could have written it.”

IN THE WILDERNESS
By ROBERT HICHENS _Author of “The Garden of Allah” etc._
“Mr. Hichens’ wonderful descriptive talent which took the world by storm when displayed in “The Garden of Allah” once more works its spell upon the reader.... By far the best-constructed story the author has yet produced, worked out with the consummate skill of a true artist.”—_Philadelphia Ledger._

CHILDREN OF FATE
By MARICE RUTLEDGE
For thinkers on both sides of the peace question—A war novel that is different.
“If races are to evolve into a higher state it must be through finer, cleverer methods than war. War is a stupid return for education.... Internationalism is a remedy.”
