Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Year The year I am going to write about is the only one worth writing about in the whole of my eventless career. There are such things as long, even stretches of road, broken only at one spot by the excitement of a raging torrent, or such things as still summer days, shaken at only one moment by the thrill of an isolated thunder-clap, - only to these things can I liken my peaceful and mildly dull life, cut, as it were, into two distinct halves by that one year into which was crowded all that I have ever known of violent emotions, of apprehension, and even of horror. And yet it is probable that but for Agnes Jeffrey that year would have remained unchronicled and those sentiments unrecorded. It was but a few weeks ago, during the Whitsuntide holidays which, as usual, I was spending at Broadfield, that Agnes put into my hands a bundle of letters on which I recognised my own writing, and tied together with a green ribbon which had scarcely begun to fade. "You should make a story of that," she said to me, taking her youngest child on her arm as she spoke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
