Overview
A volume of intimate portraits, sketches and studies by the author of My Life and Loves. Includes chapters on Columbus, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Tolstoy, Great Cities, Seville, Travel in France, Granada, Short Story Writing, Biography, Morals, Natural Religion, An Execution in Paris and A Love Story. Written by a man who has traveled and adventured in every quarter of the globe, a man who is at home in a dozen different languages, this book contains a mass of curious information that could with difficulty be found in a dozen volumes of twice the bulk and size. For instance, one of the author's experiences is to be present at a guillotine execution in Paris. This volume clarifies and supplements the author's autobiography in many ways. It is as varied as his travels and as unconventional as his experiences. Part 1 deals with Persons, Part 2 with Places, Part 3 with Principles, and Part 4 with Passions.
