The mid-Victorian London was sincere--that was a vast virtue and a vast appeal...
Один из любимейших писателей, Генри Джеймс, в этой прекрасной книге воспоминаний, посвященной любимому брату, знаменитому психологу и философу Уильяму Джеймсу, пишет с огромной любовью, лиризмом и откровением об американском детстве, европейской юности и писательской зрелости.
Подробно об истории этой книги я писала вот здесь, в рецензии к первой, и самой знаменитой части автобиографии. Сейчас, дочитывая автобиографию, я еще раз, с огромным наслаждением, перечитала и первую, и вторую части, испытав еще большее удовольствие, чем при первом чтении.
Прекрасная, изумительная вещь.
I took the unknown always easily for the magnificent and was sure only of the limits of what I saw.
