Présentation de l'éditeur
It is not a learned essay. It is not an exhortation. It is neither profound, like a doctoral thesis, nor passionate, like a reformers appeal. If it is what I have tried to make it, this book is human and helpful. It is i7i the belief that at least several persons will be found who like to read, and like to read about reading, that this little book has been made. They will please regard it not as an instructive work, but as an essay at friendly suggestion; and will look into it not for conclusive utterance, but for counsel; not for the answer to every inquiry, but for stimulus to the inquiring faculty. E. N. T. Chautauqua, N. Y. March y, iq2I.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author lovingly explores epochs in reading history. Beginning with his childhood in the 1890s, he recalls authors he was drawn to as a child, and how access to books shaped the trajectory of his life. The book meanders through his experiences in reading, from school days to college and beyond, providing a window into the role of books in the molding of intellect, personal and cultural history, and the ways reading experiences change across time. It provides a valuable perspective on reading trends and taste, from the authorâs childhood passion for Mayne Reid to his mature enjoyment of Tolstoy and Shakespeare. Through this engaging autobiographical lens, the author reveals how his reading journey shaped him into an omnivorous reader, whose shelves are lined with an eclectic mix of high and low literature, and whose book-buying decisions are driven by pure reading pleasure. Ultimately, the authorâs reflections on the lost joys of youth, the development of critical faculties, and the profound power of books to educate, entertain, and empower are sure to resonate with bibliophiles of all stripes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331575047_0
