Eine Erzählung über das lustige Eheleben von Eliza und ihrem Gatten im 20. Jahrhundert Englands, erzählt von Barry Pain als Roman in Kurzgeschichten und erstmalig ins Deutsche übersetzt und herausgegeben von Melanie Schmidt.¿Man könnte sagen, dass ich ein richtiges Studium meiner selbst anfertige.Ich habe von Zeit zu Zeit die wichtigsten Ereignisse unseres Ehelebens ¿ Eliza und mich betreffend ¿ auf Papier festgehalten und diese präsentiere ich Ihnen, geneigter Leser, geneigte Leserin, in diesem Büchlein.Ich denke, diese zeigen, wie ein Mann mit sehr begrenztem Einkommen ¿ und ohne gelegentliche Unterstützung von Elizas Mutter weiß ich nicht, wie wir bisher ausgekommen wären ¿ in großem Maße Ehrbarkeit zu wahren, Geschmack und Ansichten zu zeigen und seine Ehefrau und sein Haus zu führen vermag.Je mehr ich über mich nachdenke, desto mehr ¿ das sage ich in aller Bescheidenheit ¿ scheint die Sache sich weiterzuentwickeln. Ich würde mich selbst als vielseitig und in vielerlei Hinsicht als anders als gewöhnliche Männer bezeichnen. Nehmen wir mal, zum Beispiel, die Frage nach dem Geschmackssinn. So mancher würde es kaum für lohnenswert erachten, so eine kleine Sache wie den Geschmackssinn auch nur zu erwähnen: Doch ich tue es. Ich bin nicht wohlhabend, aber das, was ich besitze, das besitze ich gerne zu dekorativen Zwecken ¿ allerdings dies nicht zu aufdringlich.Erst neulich kam die Frage nach Gläsertüchern für die Küche auf, und obschon jene mit dem roten Rand drei Pence das Dutzend teurer waren als die schlichten, orderte ich diese ohne zu zögern. Zwar tauschte Eliza sie am nächsten Tag wieder um ¿ gegen meinen Willen ¿, darüber hatten wir dann eine Auseinandersetzung, aber das ist nicht der Punkt.Der eigentliche Punkt ist der, dass, wenn Ihr Sinn für Geschmack in Angelegenheiten wie Gläsertüchern auftaucht, wird er ebenso in Sesselauflagen für den Salon und höher stehenden Dingen auftauchen.¿ ¿ Aus ELIZA von Barry Pain.

Volume one of Barry Pain's tales of terror Barry Eric Odell Pain was born in Cambridge, England in 1864. A graduate of Corpus Christi college, Cambridge, he joined the staff of the Daily Chronicle and Black and White periocals. He became a regular contributor to the literary magazine The Granta and to Cornhill Magazine, Punch and The Speaker. In keeping with many authors of his era, his literary output was prodigious. Credit for the recognition he eventually achieved is said to have come from endorsements by Robert Louis Stevenson who compared Pain's writings to those of Guy de Maupassant. There is a dark side to some of Pain's writing, although he has been more widely recognised as a parodist and writer of lightly humorous stories. This darker side of Pain's work has resulted in a substantial legacy of supernatural, horror and weird fiction. This is possibly why his work, particularly the very well-known, 'The Undying Thing', was highly regarded by H.P. Lovecraft.In the first volume of this comprehensive three volume Leonaur collection of Barry Pain's fiction of the strange readers will discover 'The Glass of Supreme Moments', 'The Missing Years', 'The Unfinished Game', 'This is All' and many others.
