Title: Boon, The Mind of the Race, The Wild Asses of the Devil, and the Last Trump Title Record # 1065232
Author: H. G. Wells
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: NOVEL [non-genre]
Webpages: Wikipedia-EN
Language: English
Note: The title page of the 1920 Second Edition acknowledged Wells the author of the entire work, by appending a parenthetical note at the end of the very long 1915 title and credits (below): "... With an Ambiguous Introduction by H. G. Wells (Who is in Truth the Author of the entire Book)". The 1920 and later editions retain the original "Ambiguous Introduction" (see), which must have hinted the truth adequately for most readers. Contents (10 unnumbered chapters): • 1. The Back of Miss Bathwick and George Boon • 2-7. [six chapters feature The Mind of the Race] • 8. The Beginning of "The Wild Asses of the Devil" • 9. The Hunting of the Wild Asses of the Devil • 10. The Story of the Last Trump As of May 2020, two stories in the database as 1915, The Wild Asses of the Devil and The Story of the Last Trump, are derived from chapters 8-9 and 10, by inference from their titles.
