Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Italian Characters: In the Epoch of Unification Heroism is to virtue what beauty is to truth - it is its splendour, the ray which fertilises the ground it falls upon. We live by admiration. What should we be, what would be life, without the types of fortitude and abnegation which we find scattered over the too often arid fields of human history? I have tried to present pictures, as living and speaking as I could make them, of a few such types taken from our contemporaries of yesterday. It is generally possible to tell what most needs to be known about a man in a limited space, but to write briefly one must think clearly; the writer must be master of his subject and not be mastered by it. To a long preparatory study of the Italian literature of the Risorgimento I added the examination of many interesting documents which are not known in Italy, such as the English Blue-books of 1847-48. My object has been to show the originals of my sketches, not classically attired on far-away pinnacles, but in their habit as they lived; to make them known as friends and familiars of the household. Some of them rendered help to their country which was rather essential than secondary; others only gave it the contribution of a high example.
