Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Haggard Side, Being Essays in Fiction No doubt there is a great deal to be said in favour of a large life, with many interests and numerous friends. But this largeness has its drawbacks. To-day, we know our education has given us, as it were, all the kingdoms of the earth. We know a little of everything. We take an intelligent interest in such matters as public health, army organisation, evolution, philology, wireless telegraphy, and a great number of other matters. To-day, too, we have many friends. We know a hundred people to bow to. Were it necessary, we could fill our drawing-room and stairs with five hundred people; and although they are only acquaintances, and many of them not even that, we call them all friends. The fact is, we are mere smatterers, both in knowledge and in heart. We do not know anything thoroughly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
