Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessions of a Barbarian This book reveals America to herself by interpreting Europe. I stand in symbolic relation, so to speak, to both hemispheres. My twofold racial consciousness serving as a fulcrum, I am enabled to pry two worlds - Archimedes aspired to lift but one - out of the furrow of their mutual misconception. I have seen the soul of the subtle siren Europe. I have chronicled facts from her unwritten history, from the secret pages of diplomatic portfolios. From her have I also learned verities greater than facts. I may speak ex cathedra: infallibility I claim not. I have emulated not the labored minuteness of old school painters who, numbering each hair of the head, make themselves rivals of God, but the thumbnail sketches of Whistler and the chromatic riots of Boecklin. My book, though published serially in William Marion Reedy´s brave weekly. The Mirror, is journalism only in the sense in which that term may also be applied to the Reisebilder of Heine.
