Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Society Clown: Reminiscences In the first place, he is hampered by having to be so egotistical. He must talk about him self, which is never a nice thing to do. He cannot very well tell stories in his own favour; and if he tells them against himself, he affects humility: if he talks about his distinguished acquaintances, he becomes a snob; in short, I can only repeat my former observation, that he is bound to make an ass of himself. For a moment or two I did not know what to say, for my conscience smote me. At last I said: I am very pleased to hear your candid, and certainly unbiassed, opinion; for I have just accepted an offer from Mr. Arrowsmith to do a shilling book of my own reminiscences for the Bristol Library Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one dark, dank, dreary, dismal night in February, 1888 (I believe that is the way to commence a book, no matter what the subject be), when the present writer might have been seen standing, with other gentlemen, in a sombre dining-room brilliantly illuminated with one ceiling-lamp buried in a deep red shade. We were standing round the dining-room table, each with a dinner-napkin in the left hand; while the right hand was occupied in moving back chairs, to permit of the departure of the ladies for the drawing-room. I could not help thinking that, as they filed off, the ladies looked like queens; while we (especially with the aid of the serviettes) looked like waiters. The gentlemen drew their chairs round the host, and wine was languidly passed round. A tall gentleman, with a heavy beard, to whom I had not been introduced, approached me, and sat by my side. He passed me the spirit-lamp, for which I thanked him while lighting my cigarette. He then commenced a conversation in earnest. "Did you see that Mr. -- is writing his reminiscences?" "Yes." "Don't you think it rather a pity that he should do so?" "Why a pity?" I asked in reply to his question. "Well, I always think the moment a man begins to write his reminiscences he is bound, more or less, to make an ass of himself." "In what way?" I asked. "In the first place, he is hampered by having to be so egotistical. He must talk about himself, which is never a nice thing to do. He cannot very well tell stories in his own favour; and if he tells them against himself, he affects humility: if he talks about his distinguished acquaintances, he becomes a snob; in short, I can only repeat my former observation, that he is bound to make an ass of himself." For a moment or two I did not know what to say, for my conscience smote me. At last I said: "I am very pleased to hear your candid, and certainly unbiassed, opinion; for I have just accepted an offer from Mr. Arrowsmith to do a shilling book of my own reminiscences for the Bristol Library Series."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Once a Clown, Always a Clown: Reminiscences of De Wolf HopperMost of us fall into our life jobs by chance. We do not become department-store buyers, state policemen, railway 'mail clerks or candy makers because of any driving urge to these particular vocations, but because the paths of least resistance drifted us that way. We have - worse luck to make a living, and this or that was the best or the first that offered.The actor and the actress do not, with rare exceptions, drift on to the stage. They make a dead set for it. Nor do they think of it in terms of meal tickets. They cross the foot lights out of an egotistic desire to strut before an admiring world. They hope romantically to win a fortune along with their pictures in the papers, but always they have been willing to starve cheerfully if accompanied by adequate publicity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Diary of a Nobody written by George Grossmith and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Diary of a Nobody, penned by the Grossmith brothers, stands as a seminal work within the realm of English literature, effortlessly encapsulating the essence and whimsy of the late Victorian era through its distinctive epistolary format and the comedic tableau via the life of Charles Pooter. The overarching themes of social mobility, mundane existence, and the humorous trials and tribulations of the lower middle class are explored with a finesse and wit that remains unmatched. This collection's range of literary stylesfrom diary entries to incidental commentaryprovides a layered and nuanced view of 19th-century English society, positioning it as a standout piece in the canon of comedic literature. The Grossmith brothers bring a unique synergy to this work, harmonizing George's established career as a comedic actor and singer with Weedon's artistic prowess. Together, they craft a narrative that is as much a reflection on personal identity and societal norms as it is an entertaining chronicle. Their backgrounds in performance and art significantly inform the text's delivery and its critical reception, anchoring it within the cultural and literary movements of the time. The Diary of a Nobody is more than a mere collection; it is a portal to Victorian England, offering readers an exceptional opportunity to delve into the intricacies of its social fabric through laughter and contemplation. This anthology is recommended for those who seek not only to understand the undercurrents of late 19th-century society but also to appreciate the craft of storytelling through an unorthodox and enriching lens.
