Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels, Romances and Writings of Alphonse Daudet There are offspring of genius that start upon a separate existence of their own, without sponsors, quite independent of their paternity, of which they make no betrayal that may throw light upon the relation which must always exist between the man of letters and his art. On the whole, very few are the works in Enghsh that possess an autobiographical flavor. Our greatest men are strangely silent about themselves. A dumb devil of incommunicableness and reticence possesses them. Interrogate their writings, and these scarcely answer, or answer at times in a half-shamefaced, halting, and awkward fashion, as if to talk of ones self at all were, in some sort, a deadly sin. This reserve is perhaps inseparable from a race that regards literature as a most serious profession, mere causerie in print as a trivial thing, but it springs more naturally from the conviction that, however a mans work may belong to mankind, his life belongs to himself alone, not to the afterworld, is a thing of value to no one save himself, that curiosity on the part of the public is an intrusion. Genius, especially English genius, decrees for itself a strangely isolated path. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
