Book excerpt: ‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence.’ – Bertrand Russell, Portraits from Memory Portraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography, it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries, such as George Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad, with whom he formed a strong emotional bond, writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’, whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better, but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’. This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects, from his ardent pacifism, liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education, the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include ‘A Plea for Clear Thinking’, ‘A Philosophy for Our Time’ and ‘How I Write’. Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin, editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories and Portraits This volume of papers, unconnected as they are, it will be better to read through from the beginning, rather than dip into at random. A certain thread of meaning binds them. Memories of childhood and youth, portraits of those who have gone before us in the battle - taken together, they build up a face that I have loved long since and lost awhile, the face of what was once myself. This has come by acci dent; I had no design at first to be autobiographical; I was but led away by the charm of beloved memories and by regret for the irrevocable dead; and when my own young face (which is a face of the dead also) began to appear in the well as by a kind of magic, I was the first to be surprised at the occurrence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Memories and Portraits by Robert Louis Stevenson.--The foreigner at home - Some college memories - Old mortality - A college magazine - An old Scotch gardener - Pastoral - The manse - Memoirs of an islet - Thomas Stevenson - Talk and talkers: first paper - Talk and talkers: second paper - The character of dogs - "A penny plain and twopence colored" - A gossip on a novel of Dumas's - A gossip on romance - A humble remonstrance .--The sixteen essays in the collection cover a wide range. The first eleven consist of personal memories (and portraits) of family and friends. In fact, aside from his exuberant and very sincere letters, Memories and Portraits is the closest thing to an autobiography published by Stevenson.The first essay deals with his memories as a Scotsman of his first contacts with England ("The Foreigner Abroad"). The collection continues with memories of early life in Scotland (childhood memories of Swanston, Colinton and Cramond; reminiscences of his college days and time on the Isle of Erraid while training to be an engineer). In "A College Magazine", he describes with endearing honesty how he "played the thirsty ape" before great writers of the past, while searching for his own style. (This statement became a popular stick among hostile critics to hit him throughout his life and afterward.)

Book excerpt: This co-authored book of early self-portraits by two professional photographers celebrates love-first love, an enduring friendship that resulted, and a lifelong devotion to photography as a form of creative expression. The black and white photographs in the book are drawn from the summer of 1999-when Prince told us to party, computer scientists feared global shutdown, and the seismic changes in communication that arrived with widespread use of the internet had not yet occurred. Jenny Riffle and Molly Landreth, home from their first year at separate colleges, documented the precious and banal moments of early adulthood as they explored their surroundings, and each other, through photography. Presented along with selected correspondence from the remainder of their college years, the photographs are a testament to the power of enduring friendship, and the creative spirits of two unique yet complementary artists.
