Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Authors and I DID I ever see Henry Adams? We may have met, for he was a cosmopolitan. London, Paris, Rome - and Chartres were as familiar to him as Boston. He may have been the man I saw at a London reception in intimate talk with John Hay, and I paused to watch the pair because here were two men engrossed in that rare thing real conversation. The legend of Henry Adams has long been familiar. At Chartres you can hardly fail to strike his initiate trail; in that grove at Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington, where the Figure by Augustus Saint Gaudens sits in the aura of a silent question you are in the presence of this visionary man, for it was he who inspired the Figure. Yes, the legend of Henry Adams is insistent, but the man eludes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
