Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Far Off Things This is a book, my dear Turner, which I had in my heart to write for many years. The thought of it came to me with that other thought that I was growing - rather, grown - old; that the curtain had definitely been rung down on all the days of my youth. And so I got into the way of looking back, of recalling the far gone times and suns of the ´seventies and early ´eighties when the scene of my life was being set. I made up my mind that I would write about it all - some day. Some day would undoubtedly have been Never; if it had not been for you. I had not spoken of the projected book to you or anyone else; but one fine morning in 1915 you ordered me to write it! You were then, you will remember, editing the London Evening News, and as a reporter on your staff I had nothing to do but to obey. The book was written, appeared in the paper as "The Confessions of a Literary Man," and now reappears as "Far Off Things." So far, good. I enjoyed writing the book enormously; and, I frankly confess, I enjoy reading it. In a word, I am not grumbling. But there is one little point that I do not mean to neglect.
