  Art and life. Each the mirror of the other.  This then is the classic definition of what ‘Realism’ as a writing form really is.  Some might call it a fancy term for the mundane day to day pursuits but in the hands of an author it comes alive.  We are drawn into characters and landscapes that we can empathize with, we can, metaphorically speaking, help shoulder their burden, be on the long trail with them whatever the landscapes, the hurdles, incidents and other people may place in their literary way.  
   
  In this volume such luminaries as Jack London, Kate Chopin, O Henry, Bret Harte and many others bring their talents to this remarkable volume.
