Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Keeling Letters Recollections An apology may seem to be needed for publishing letters so intimate and personal as some of these. I can only say that I longed to preserve some record of the thought and effort which Keeling put into the conduct of life, and I am certain that it would have been his wish that his experience and even his blunders and his failures should be of use to others. My daughter´s courage and her confidence in my judgment, a confidence for which I am most grateful, have enabled me to relate the circumstances of his life with a frankness which would have been impossible for anyone else. I wish to thank his brother and those friends of his who have helped and encouraged me in the task, and especially Mr. J. C. Squire, by whom it was at first undertaken and who was obliged by pressure of work to relinquish it. To him I am indebted both for help with the letters and for permission to include several articles that appeared in the New Statesman. To Mrs. Green my thanks are due for much kind assistance and sympathy; to the Bishop of Southwark, Mr. Fort, and Mr. Greenwood, for their reminiscences, and above all to Mr. H. G. Wells, whose Preface gives point to the book. While expressing my gratitude to these friends of Keeling´s, I am anxious to disclaim on their behalf all responsibility with regard to the selection of letters and of passages from his journal. Any errors of taste or misrepresentations of fact to be found in the book are due entirely to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
