Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Raphael
Rarely has any one ever encountered such harsh Opposition. Emerson was branded as an enemy to Christianity, as a reckless charlatan seeking only to gratify personal vanity with his dazzling antith eses. Yet never was he tempted to contend with his enemies, and their number grew less and less, until at present even those who are at variance with many of his views, acknowledge and appreciate the salutary in?uence Of his life and works.

Présentation de l'éditeur
It is as if I were an American speaking to A mericans. Your translations are so spirited that I sometimes feel as if an author were at work in your Fatherland whose views are precisely the same as mine, and with whom I am strangely in unison. From my youth I have felt an interest and sympathy in A merica, although I have never been there. I can recall from the days of my far-off boyhood, the undefined, romantic feeling with which men strained their gaze across the oceans wide expanse from the fettered, pre-B ismarck Germany, to the opposite shores where Freedom dwelt. These sentiments, however, are by no means the ground of my present attachment to your country.
