Book Description
Excerpt from The Grip of Fear Once or twice before, as he sat with his elbows on the table, at a late hour, in a restau rant, under the flaring lights, amid the musty odours of f ood and the perfumes of women's toilettes, surrounded by constant movement and deafened by gipsy music, with dazed brain, with sight and hearin g exasperated by the colours and the noise, he had experienced the same sudden and clear sense that he was some body, and that he had in himself the germ of great achievements. He had said to himself Ah! At this moment, if I had a pen, ink, and paper, I could write somethin g immortal. Alas! At these mysterious times, when another self seems to spring into being and to trans form the old self, the pen, the ink, and the paper are never at hand. And so now, in the stillness of the winter night, under the sharp caress of the wind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Hullo, hullo--Damn it! Answer, won't you? Oh, the idiots, they've cut us off! Hullo, hullo!" He put back the receiver and began to ring up the Exchange furiously. "Hullo! I say! You cut me off." "No, sir. They must have rung off at the other end." "Then it was a mistake. Put me on again, please." After a minute a different voice asked: "Hullo, hullo! What do you want?" "Did you telephone a moment ago?" "We did telephone, sir, but I don't know whether it was to you...." "Would you mind telling me whom I am speaking to?" "Cafe Paul, Place du Trocadero." "Right. Please tell the gentleman that I want to speak to him again." "Sorry, sir, the gentleman has just gone." "Send some one after him. Run!" "Impossible, sir. We're just closing up, and the gentleman must be quite far by now." "Could you tell me what he was like? Do you know him? Is he one of your customers?" "No, sir; it's the first time he's been here. As for what he's like, sir: he looks about thirty; dark, with a short moustache.... I think he was in evening dress... but I didn't notice." "Thank you; I'm sorry to have troubled you." "Not at all.
