Synopsis
This is a concise but comprehensive biography of the famous scientist Louis Pasteur. This is from the beginning: "Louis Pasteur is one of the glories of France, and, among them all, the one whose light shines clearest and most fertile in results. His name has radiated throughout the world and for scientists and laymen alike it symbolizes that spirit of humanity which strove to succour all the ills of his fellow me and that genius for invention which opened vast new horizons to the researches of science. His sovereignty is now undisputed, there is no nation which has not rendered him due homage, and, as his fame has widened, it has, according to his own desire, increased the moral patrimony and the intellectual force of his native land."
About the Author
Emily Blake spends summers on her estate in Northern California, and winters at her beach house in Bora Bora. When she isn't writing Little Secrets, she can be found shopping, sunning, jetskiing, or fawning over her orange-sable Pomeranian, Kiki. Asked where she gets the ideas for her books, Ms. Blake replied, from my life, of course.
