Condensed Novels by Bret Harte is a collection of satirical short stories originally published in 1867. The book parodies popular novels of the time by condensing their plots and characters into absurdly short and comical versions. Each story is a humorous take on a different novel, including works by Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Victor Hugo, among others. The stories are filled with witty commentary on the literary trends of the day, and Harte's clever writing style makes for an entertaining read. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in literary satire or the history of 19th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
