He was tired but exultant, because he had won the fight, and life, which slips so easily away, seemed doubly precious. After all, he was no longer a boy. If life still held something beautiful for him, why should he wait? He had waited so many years already.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
