(T"he Massacres of the Annamites" and "The Capture of Tonkin" Very Good Plus in Fair Dust Jacket. "...The most important translations Hearn ever made. 'Neither our DeQuinceys nor our Coleridges nor our Byrons could have written such things -- prose more poetical than all English poetry...'. Loti stirred Hearn to greater depths of enthusiasm than did any other author. In him Hearn found a writer who had literary tastes similar to his own..." "His greatest successes were gained in the species of confession, half-way between fact and fiction, which he essayed in his earlier books. When all his limitations, however, have been rehearsed, Pierre Loti remains, in the mechanism of style and cadence, one of the most original and most perfect French writers of the second half of the 19th century."
