Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Sister: S. Florence Edwards, of Taiyuanfu This little volume is written chiefly for the family and friends of my sister, and is therefore of a very intimate nature. It is scarcely designed for the general public. Things too trivial to interest strangers are set down, because they help to complete the picture of my sister´s character and life. This has been my object - so far, alas! from being attained - for how is it possible to describe so winning a personality, and the steadfast growth of soul which characterised her whole life? The task has been confided to me, because no one so well as a sister knows all the details of a life from its earliest days, but the very nearness of the relationship tends to dull the outlines of such a picture. Most biographers err in one of two directions, either by ignoring the defects of the character portrayed, or by over-emphasising them. I have tried to avoid these mistakes, and to set down all her characteristics in correct proportion, not avoiding the criticism of those views which were in opposition to my own. What is most difficult to describe is the radiant brightness which won the love of all sorts of people and triumphed over every hindrance of physical disability. If the picture inspires any reader to a higher sense of the worth of life in the service of humanity, I shall be amply satisfied, but, even apart from that, the fact of spending so many hours in her dear company has been the greatest inspiration to myself and has increased my loving admiration for the best of sisters.
