Description

---

Complete digitally restored reprint (facsimile) of the original edition of 1895 with excellent resolution and outstanding readability. Illustrated with 24 pictures. "The Idiot" written by John Kendrick Bangs in 1895. The Idiot is anything but, yet his fellow boarders at Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog's home for single gentlemen see him as such. His brand of creative thought is dismissed as foolishness yet it continues to get under their skin, because when you're beneath contempt you can say what you please.
