Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Life of Cavour It is the usual custom for a biographer, in his preface, to offer some explanation for the choice of his subject, and to describe the construction of the work. In the present case, I do not consider that it is incumbent upon me to detain the reader by expatiating upon the importance of the subject, for I feel the force of Gibbons argument that the merit of the choice would serve to render the weakness of the execution still more apparent and still less excusable. The period covered by this volume is but a short one, and yet few events in modern history can be said to possess greater significance than those which were guided by the genius of Cavour. This circumstance alone should prove sufficient justification for my choice of a subject, but if further details are required as to how I came to write this book, I am willing, following the precedent set by the majority of biographers, to supply the information. A year or two ago, I published a short essay on Cavour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
