My Village (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from My Village Here artists struggle with all their might for fame; while others, more practical, are aiming after wealth. The disinterested and the mercenary battle on together. The peasant, terribly matter-of-fact, labors from sunrise to sunset, working the earth he loves for the money it brings him, ever saving and economizing. As he gains, he hoards his wealth to buy more earth and (a universal ambition) to pose before his neighbors, much as do the business men in great cities.
