Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Among My Books This observation, however, applies but to a few of the causeries included in the volume. In the large majority of the contributions to the Among My Books series, the association with the library is not, I think, difficult to trace. A book-lover among his books has many moods, and the spirits of their departed authors speak to him with many voices. Now he seems to hear the plaintive whisper of some ´inheritor of unfulfilled renown´ who was promised immortality, and for all that one can see now, has as good a right to it as many who have won it; and then the student feels moved to remind the world once more of this forgotten one, and to protest against his doom of unmerited neglect. Now it is he himself who is the accused, and as he listens to the reproachful sigh of some teacher of his youth who has long since ceased to offer him a ´key of the universe,´ his conscience urges him to acknowledge his debt and to explain his defection. Or again, ´the book´ may suggest ´the critic,´ as it did to the admired essayist who played coryphæus to the series, and diverted his readers with one of those agreeable exercises in raillery which are a stumbling-block to the humourless and a delight to everyone else.
