Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Character and Comedy "My Cousin the Bookbinder" "Oh, I am so poorly! I waked it at my cousin´s, the bookbinder, who is now with God." - Charles Lamb to P. G. Patmore, 1827 "So you´ve been reading that sir, have you? I have a copy too. I´ll fetch it and show you... The inscription" Oh yes, that´s all right. He´s my cousin, true enough: his real name´s not Elia, of course; his real name´s Lamb - Charles Lamb. He´s a clerk at the East India Company´s in Leadenhall Street - a little dark man with a large head. Must be nearly fifty by this time. "´Genius,´ you say? Well, I´ve heard others say that too - one or two persons, that is: customers of mine; but I don´t know. Perhaps I´m no judge of such things. I´m a bookbinder. The outside of books is my line, not the inside. Oh yes, I´ve read Elia´s Essays - not all through, perhaps, but here and there. Quite enough to tell, anyway.
