Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Abbe Edgeworth and His Friends "Tu proverai si come sa di sale Lo pane altrui e com´ duro calle Lo scendere e 1 salir per Ialtrui scale." Thus wrote Dante in that great poem of a pilgrimage, the Divina Commedia. The history of the human race is the story of exile; it is full of anecdotes of dethroned kings, vanquished warriors, disappointed politicians, persecuted sectarians, zealous crusaders, all sufferers for religious or political opinions. The very first chapter closes in exile: our first parents were exiles in the fullest sense of the word. Poets of all nations have found this theme inexhaustible; Homer, Seneca, Virgil, Dante, Petrarch, Goethe, Schiller, Lenau, Uhland, Victor Hugo, Ronsard, Byron, Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Firdusi, Hafiz, wrote their sweetest songs while the white dust of the high-road was still clinging to their weary feet, while their eyes were still strained with searching the wide horizon for a shelter, an oasis which, all too often, proved but a mirage in the desert. The subject of this study, the Abbé Edgeworth, was early forced to grasp the staff and wander forth to unknown lands. It is not often that exiles have been so persistently persecuted by Fate as he was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
