Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from I Wonder: Essays for the Young People "When she was half-a-dozen years younger, Louisa had been overheard to begin a conversation with her brother one day by saying, ´Tom, I wonder´ - upon which Mr. Gradgrind, who was the person overhearing, stepped forth into the light, and said, ´Louisa, never wonder!´ Herein lay the spring of the mechanical art and mystery of educating the reason without stooping to the cultivation of the sentiments and Affections. Never wonder. By means of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, settle everything somehow, and never wonder. . . There was a library in Coketown, to which general access was easy. Mr. Gradgrind greatly tormented his mind about what the people read in this library. It was a disheartening circumstance, but a melancholy fact, that even these readers persisted in wondering. They wondered about human nature, human passions, human hopes and fears, the struggles, triumphs, and defeats, the cares and joys and sorrows, the lives and deaths, of common men and women."
