Excerpt from Word Portraits of Famous Writers "The world has always been fond of personal details respecting men who have been celebrated." These were the words of Lord Beaconsfield, and with them he prefixed his description of the personal appearance of Isaac D'Israeli; but we hardly need the dictum of our greatest statesman to convince ourselves that at all events every honest literature-lover takes a very real interest in the individuality of those men whose names are perpetually on his lips. It is not enough for such a one merely to make himself familiar with their writings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"The world has always loved the details of a man who respects men who are celebrated." These were the words of Lord Beaconsfield, and in them he symbolized his description of Isaac D’Israel’s personal appearance; but we do not need the speech of our greatest official to convince ourselves that in all cases every sincere book lover has a genuine interest in each of those men whose names remain on his lips. It is not enough for such a person to become acquainted with their writings. It is not enough for him that the News of Elijah, for example, can be memorized, but he feels that he must also be able to sit on Christ's playing field with a “lame boy,” even years later. to speed up the Garden gardens with a gentle-faced scholar, before being told to make the thoughts of the Lamb his own. Best but not the whole idea most of us have about the true personality of our great British writers. The almost identical beauty of Sidney's femininity, as well as the sharp eyes and papa's razor-sharp face, will probably easily be seen as Drs. Johnson; but taking on many themes even a man who has been widely studied may be forgiven if, among the fragments of rumor and abstract ideas he may come across at unusual times, he can easily awaken the ghosts of these men who wrote their books. he has learned, and in his house he has become a zealous pilgrim.

Excerpt from Word Portraits Character Sketches of Famous Men and Women The extraordinary influence and power of Maximilian Harden's pen are very largely due to the fact that throughout his brilliant career as an essayist and publicist he has always held aloof from all political party phraseology, to his absolute fearlessness in the expression of his opinions, and to his ready and poignant wit. An extraordinarily well-read scholar - in many languages and on most subjects - his style of composition, a marshalling of long rows of co-ordinated sentences, bristling with quotations from the classics of all nations and replete with quaint similia, makes delightful reading in the original German. The attempt, however, to reproduce in English tho author's peculiarly intricate and highly ornate verbal structure may cause a somewhat stilted effect on the eye and the ear of those attuned to a terser form of descriptive prose. Born in Berlin on October 20, 1861, Maximilian Harden was educated at the High School in the Prussian capital and subsequently under private tutors.

One of the most important German artists of the twentieth century, Max Beckmann was labeled a "degenerate artist" by the Nazis and chose exile. His artistic production encompassed the realism and figural themes of his early works to the provocatively blunt portraiture, critical urban views, and richly layered symbolic works for which he is now universally recognized. Although he was a prolific writer, his written work has never before been collected and translated into English. Beckmann is known for the depth, pungency, and tremendous sensuous force of his works; only in the last twenty years have we come to learn more about his personal life. Self-Portrait in Words maps out Beckmann's life and draws attention to the occasions on or for which he produced his writings, to the importance writing had for him as a form of expression, and to both the contemporary and personal references of his ideas and images.
