O knihe
In "The Wave, An Egyptian Aftermath," Algernon Blackwood has written a story of reincarnation in the style that has won him fame, and of which he is peculiarly and essentially the master. It is mystical and absorbing, and the style is as delightful as the plot is thrilling. To attempt to reveal the scheme of the story would be to spoil it for the reader. It is, therefore, better to say that "The Wave" is a novel well worth reading -- more particularly for those who enjoy the mystical. Such persons will revel in the adventures of Thomas Kelverdon, haunted from boyhood by the premonition of a great wave that would at some moment of his life rise behind him and break over him. It never did, but the feeling that it would was almost always present with him. He was not in fear of drowning, but nevertheless was haunted by the wave's presence. Anyone who has read "Julius Le Vallon," "John Silence," "Ten Minute Stories," etc., by the same author, will be pleased to read "The Wave," which is quite as good in its way as any of its predecessors. (From a review in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, New York, 24 February 1917).
