Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irene Petrie: Missionary to Kashmir Some years ago the general reader was captured by the autobiography of a Russian girl, well born, attractive, gifted, ambitious, and successful as a musician and artist. She confessed more frankly than many confess it that on setting out in life her most earnest prayer was: "O God, grant me happiness. Make my life what I should like it to be." She died young, leaving this testimony: "I am so unhappy. All is wretchedness and misery. I don´t know whether I believe in God or not"; and it is with a feeling of profound pity that one closes the record of her life. The story of another girl, with similar gifts, who was likewise ambitious, and across whose short life more than one deep shadow fell, is told here. Judging by hundreds of letters from people differing widely in character and circumstances, one impression left by her career upon all who knew her was stronger than any other. Many say that she was very clever, very winning, very noble; but far more reiterate that she was before all things very happy; ready, in fact, to exclaim with Browning´s David, who stands as a type of the capacity for delight of the richly endowed mind in the vigorous, youthful body, - How good is man´s life, the mere living! How fit to employ All the heart and the soul and the senses for ever in joy! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
