Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lost Art of Conversation: Selected Essays This volume brings together - and it is odd they have never been so assembled before - what we may venture to call the best essays in English on conversation. These essays hold that conversation is one of the chief pleasures of civilized life, and that, if carefully cultivated, it may become a potent factor in the spread of culture and intelligence, as it was in its great periods, in the Athens of Pericles, in the Italy of the renaissance, in the salons of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France, and in eighteenth-century England. The assertions that present-day conversation has sunk far below the high levels of the talk of the past; that our conversational performances are flat, thin, and poor; and the even more sweeping assertion that conversation is indeed a lost art - these are commonplaces that pass unchallenged, and can hardly be gainsaid.
