Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Other Days Good readers are two sorts, receptive and constructive. The receptive reader ends a book knowing what it has told him; the constructive reader goes farther than this, he is the one who reads between the lines, who interprets not only intentional, but also unconscious, silences and suppressions. A work of the imagination may be so full of its author, without his once mentioning it, that the eye which reads between the lines sees him plainly. Shakespeare´s character is painted in the plays. In works of personal record, memoirs, reminiscences, autobiographies, it is the same thing, even where the writer has attempted to efface himself, nay, even where he has undertaken to pass off on posterity a false likeness: no man can present a counterfeit of himself to the constructive reader. How many of such will these pages following have? To either kind of good reader, several characteristics of the author will be clear; that he has loved adventure, for instance, that he has known a host of all sorts of conditions of men, that his interest has been least in himself and most in others, and that he has had an endless and quite various curiosity about people and things. Will they also discern a high interest in life decidedly greater than an intellectual interest? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
