Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from T. S. Arthur: His Life and Works "You are about to subject me to an auto-de-fe, and will I please send you on some kindlings?" retorted Gail Hamilton to Fanny Fern when the latter asked her for facts concerning her life, to be used in a biographical sketch. I was met in something the same spirit as this by T. S. Arthur when I preferred a similar request to him. I think persons of a sensitive nature must shrink from anything like a biography of themselves. There is so much which really constitutes the important part of their lives which they cannot lay before the public, and which the public have no business with, that there seems little left to tell. Biography always seemed to me an illegitimate branch of literature. It is bad enough to write a man´s life while he is still alive, but then he is at least able to retaliate upon his biographer if he is of a revengeful turn of mind. When he is dead, he is helpless. What is written is written. Biographies at the best give but warped and distorted images of the men they would represent. No person can write fully and truly the life of another. The springs of action in a man´s life must ever remain hidden and unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
