Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of an Author, Vol. 1 'Memoirs of an Author' may seem a somewhat pretentious title; and the carper or cynic may hold that no one may properly dub himself author, any more than he can dub himself knight. It will be seen, however, that I have used the convenient term 'writing man' through the book, though a glance at the list of some two hundred volumes, given at the end of the work - not in ostentation, but simply as a sort of 'curio' - might justify some claim to authorship. But quantity, alas! is not exactly the same thing as quality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is written with singular quietude, with the most entire negation of the merely rhetorical; but each word, each phrase, is selected with perfect judgment, is the fittest that could be found for the expression of the thought which it carries.

The few pages which deal with his biography are the brief record of a career cut short before it had attained the plenitude of its power: still, there was more than promise; there was performance of a very substantial kind, performance which would certainly have led to wider recognition and higher preferment had life been spared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 1: 1802 to 1821 In its limitation to his years of youth, the Me'moz'res of Dumas resemble that equally delightful book, the long autobiographical fragment by George Sand. Both may contain much Die/dung as well as at least we see the youth of the great novelists as they liked to see it them selves. The Mémoz'res, with Mes Bétes, possess this advantage over most of the books, that the most crabbed critic cannot say that Dumas did not write them himself. In these works, certainly, be was unaided by Maquet or any other collaborator. They are all his own, and the essential point of note is that they display all the humour, the goodness of heart, the overﬂowing joy in life, which make the charm of the novels. Here, unmixed, unadulterated, we have that essence of Dumas with which he transfigured the tame copy drawn up by Maquet and others under his direction. He told them where to find their historical materials, he gave them the leading ideas of the plot, told them how to block out the chapters, and then he took these chapters and infused into them his own spirit, the spirit which, in its pure shape, pervades every page of the Mémoz'res. They demonstrate that, while he received mechanical aid from collaborators, took from their hands the dry bones of his romances, it was he who made the dry bones live. He is now d'artagnan, now Athos, now Gorenflot, now Chicot, - all these and many other personages are mere aspects of the immortal, the creative Alexandre.

Augustine); or, So bad was I, but who dares to consider himself better!' (rousseau); or, 'this is the way a genius has slowly been evolved from within and by favourable surroundings (goethe).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 2 It happened once in Boston, in the year 1861 or 1862, that I was at a dinner of the Atlantic Club, such as was held every Saturday, when the question was raised as to whether any man had ever written a complete and candid autobiography. Emerson, who was seated by me at the right, suggested the "Confessions" of Rousseau. I objected that it was full of untruths, and that for plain candour it was surpassed by the "Life of Casanova." Of this work (regarding which Carlyle has said, "Whosoever has looked therein, let him wash his hands and be unclean until even") neither Emerson nor Lowell, nor Palfrey nor Agassiz, nor any of the others present seemed to have any knowledge, until Dr. Holmes, who was more adventurous, admitted he knew somewhat thereof. Now, as I had read it thrice through, I knew it pretty well. I reflected on this, but came to the conclusion that perhaps the great reason why the world has so few and frank autobiographies is really because the world exacts too much. It is no more necessary to describe everything cynically than it is to set forth all our petty diseases in detail. There are many influences which, independent of passion or shame, do far more to form character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Up to that period, the name of hollingsworth was entirely unknown amongst English Poets. When Childe Erconwold first appeared, it received most favourable notices from some of the leading critics of the age, and since that time the popularity of its Author has been daily increasing. Had he lived a few years longer, there can be little doubt he would have attained a rank equal to some of the most illus trious of those upon whom the mantle of poetry has fallen in our island home. That he may do so even now is by no means improbable, as many of his productions still remain unpublished.

Had herd clarendon known their use, he had preserved the unity of design in his text. His Lordship has unskilfully filled it with all that historical furniture his diligence had collected, and with those minute discussions his anxiety for truth, and his lawyer-like mode of scrutinizing into facts and substantiating evidence, had induced him. Had these been cast into Notes, and were it now possible to pass them over in the present text, how would the-story Of the noble historian clear up!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 1 The voyage up the west coast of the peninsula was full of interest and charm, as our course lay near enough to take in much of its beauty, especially off the mouth of the Tagus with the historic Tower of Belem and the castled crag of Cintra over looking its gardens and orangeries. We entered the hill-girt Bay of Vigo, and lay for a couple of days with the beautiful prospect of its hinterland before our eyes. I made an excursion into the interior with some of my shipmates, a country rich in natural graces and peopled by as fine a race of men and women as I have seen in Europe; every woman had beauty, and both sexes were distinguished by a dignity of manner which bore the impress of good breeding. On leaving the bay we were hampered by fog, but Lord John extricated us from a critical situation without accident, though, as I was in my bath, I saw the Warrior's bowsprit above our stern walk. Later, when we were in the open sea, where distance was maintained by gunfire from the leading ship of each division, Lord John took the risk of changing course by signal, when it appeared as time passed that the port division, led by the Hercules (captain Howard), had not understood the order, and the attention of the ship was called to the lapse, this time with due effect, as, the fog lifting not long afterwards, the peccant division was seen bearing up on a course which in a few minutes would have brought it into the middle of the other lines, when disaster must have ensued. We reached Plymouth without further incident, where the Fleet broke up and I dis embarked. I parted from Buller with great regret, and saw little of him in after-years, but I recall his death at the close of a day's hunting, at the age of eighty.

This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second part of an infamous memoir about life in the time of Napoleon by a rebellious literary celebrity. In 1800, François-René de Chateaubriand sailed from the cliffs of Dover to the headlands of Calais. He was thirty-one and had been living as a political refugee in England for most of a decade, at times in such extreme poverty that he subsisted on nothing but hot water and two-penny rolls. Over the next fifteen years, his life was utterly changed. He published Atala, René, and The Genius of Christianity to acclaim and epoch-making scandal. He strolled the streets of Jerusalem and mapped the ruins of Carthage. He served Napoleon in Rome, then resigned in protest after the Duc d’Enghien’s execution, putting his own life at tremendous risk. Memoirs from Beyond the Grave: 1800–1815—the second volume in Alex Andriesse’s new and complete translation of this epic French classic—is a chronicle of triumphs and sorrows, narrating not only the author’s life during a tumultuous period in European history but the “parallel life” of Napoleon. In these pages, Chateaubriand continues to paint his distinctive self-portrait, in which the whole history of France swirls around the sitter like a mist of dreams.
