The Spider

The Spider by Arthur O. Friel is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: I WOULD not attack that spider again, senhor, if I were you. You have seen for yourself that you can not hit him. No matter how quickly you strike, he is inches away when the blow falls. Those huge, bird-killing spiders all are incredibly swift. I have heard that not even a bullet is fast enough to This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
