Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from El Capitan Veneno: Captain (Venom/Poison) The chief reason which has caused the translator to publish this little novel is that it seems to him to be one of the most delightful and satisfactory short stories with which he is acquainted. It has both humor and pathos and a most charming heroine who has courage, decision and womanly pride and, at the same time, a most engaging gentleness and feminine sympathy. The hero, a brutally frank, half savage but brave man, laboring under the delusion that he hates women, has some claim to nobility of character. The story is an interesting contrast to the present tendency in novels toward studies of discontented women and distressing social conditions. Another reason for publishing it is that we, in this country, now that we are trying to cultivate closer trade relations with Spanish America, should know something of Spanish literature both of the old world and the new. Such a knowledge would help us to understand the people with whom we have to deal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
