"Tense situations, clear-cut, strong characters, the struggle of right
over advancement, and cleanliness against wealth are all pictured in 'The Eyes of the World' with all the vigor for which the author has become known."--_Spokane Chronicle_. "Harold Bell Wright has always stood for clean, pure, wholesome fiction, and helped the cause by that quality in his books, but in 'The Eyes of the World' he has made the most profound appeal of all, and who can foretell the far-reaching influence of such a book!"--_Raleigh Times_. "When the author produced 'The Winning of Barbara Worth,' the reading public believed he had written his masterpiece of fiction but this literary genius, the wizard of American novelists, has surprised the literators in 'The Eyes of the World.' * * * the most intense and dramatic novel of today."--_Grand Rapids Herald_. "The Eyes of the World' is an unusual novel. It is that rare event, a pure love story. It deals sledgehammer blows at animalism and sensualism, and is as a strong white light on a rock illumining the dark valley below."--_Portland Oregonian_. "It is a protest of a prophet against modern society and a strong story of the triumph of high ideals."--_Baptist Standard_. "Harold Bell Wright has told his story in a way to honor purity and loveliness and to depict in their real colors their opposites."--_Worcester Gazette_. "The description is poetic and rich in literary merit, while the story is full of action and purpose."--_Sacramento Bee_. |
