Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fireside Papers Books are a perpetual friendship. The library wherein they are stored is not only a depository of literary treasures, but also the meeting place of kindred minds. The man who is at home in my library is something more than a transient - guest he is my friend. If my books delight him, we have much in common. My neighbor I respect as a good man. He enters my home, and I enter his. We are interested in each other´s welfare, and would do much to further good-will between us. But the companion who makes with me a willing escape from that world of which Wordsworth warns us, and which he tells us "is too much with us," is surely my friend. When I shut the door and go apart by myself, my friend is not wholly excluded. "Getting and spending," which "lay waste our powers," are for the time put aside. I leave behind me the troubles and vexations of life, I thrust from me the little fears that destroy peace of mind, and I pass with glad heart into Machiavelli´s "antique courts of ancient men, where, welcomed lovingly by them, I feed upon the food which is my own, and for which I was born." The man of books finds his happiest hours in his library. There he is at home as he is at home nowhere else.
