Small Countries
Honored On List
Of Best Novels
NORMAN. Okla.HJ.PP- What are
the hundred greatest novels of all
time?
William H. F. tamont. writing
in the curr -ni Issue of Rooks
Abroad, the quarterly review of
foreign literature published by the
I'nlversltv of Okahom-i Press, dis-
plays objective taste. Only II out
of his 1W are by Americans.
Dissatisfied with exist'ng lists of
the ton greatest, because those lists
seemed to be rverhalarxd in favor
of American and British aov !s,
imont. of the English faculty at
Rutgers Cniverslty. enlisted the
aid of many experts to re-examine
the literature of all languages, in.
eluding the mim iity tongues. The
result Is that Finnish. Brazilian,
Ihitch. Iianish, Swiss, Swedish,
and even Icelandic novels are in-
eluded in his new list. Russia Is
represented with IS novel* Creat
Britain with I#. France with 15.
Spain and l^tln America with
nine.
Foreign fiction Is r>-presented in
*a per cent of the listings, ami
English language fiction in HA per
cent. More than 2* per rent of the
novels llst«M| were written In th*
2t th century.
Fiction from small count He*,
which in moat prior Uatr has lieen
badly neglected, accounts for 27
per cent of the list. From these
small countries are a number of
great novels that have never been
translated Into the English Ian-
guage and are therefore almost
unknown to Americans.
For America are several hooks
that could be characterised as
among recent he*t-se||ers- 'Stud*
Ironical!,' by Tames Farrell: 'Rab-
hitt.' by Sinclair l.ewis: 1feok
Homeward. Angel.' by Thomas
Wolfe,' and The Romantic Come-
dlans,' by EH-n tilasgow. Mark
TWaln's Huckleberry Finn" was
.ween In preference to Ills Tom
Sawyer' and the other American
novel* ate: Nathaniel Hawthorne's
The Scarlet l-etter': Herman
MelvilKa Moby t>ick': Henry |
James' Portrait nf a l4 dy; WIL
llan It. Howelts' Rle' of *"•
l«phtm: Theodore iweiserV
Jennie tJetimrdl and James Branch (
('•belt'* Jatfen.
The oldest novel an the list Is
Cervantes' I**t QtfMrte. published
in HI 5, and the maot recent is

I vice so the lobstei men could spend
{some time with their families in
■ the winter.
t He rents them a plane ut lis an

where they iiiooi their boats. The
lobstei'iiieii service their traps ami

WincauuM e*ijlains that many
lobstermen who live on the islands
during the summer move to the
mainland in winter so their chil-
dren ran Jfo to -rhonl. A trip
through winter seas in mall l«iats
requires s< much time that they
would hardly ever -e« their fami-
