Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Ernest Renan Ernest Renan was born at Treguier, in the Cotes du Nord, on the 28th of February 1823. For the third time in sixty years Brittany gave birth to a man-child who should transform and renew the religious temper of his times. Chateaubriand and Lamennais were scarcely past their prime when the young Renan first went to school in Treguier. In him, as in them, the racial strain is strong. Under the exuberance of Chateaubriand, the revolt of Lamennais, the sentiment and irony of Renan, we meet the same irregular genius, mobile and sensitive beyond the like of woman, yet, in the last resort, stubborn as Breton granite under its careless grace of flowers. All these were great writers, but in their style, as in their intellectual quality, they have small share in that Latin order which is the birthright of a Bossuet, a Racine, or even a Voltaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ernest Renan A study of Renan's life emphasizes the fact that his works, even when apparently most abstract and erudite, are in a surprising degree the product of his character and his experience; and in this experience the external is insepa rably blended with the internal. Events, books, friends, dreams, meditations, travels, little incidents and observa tions, diligent and minute investigations, all combine into a unity amid diversity, which makes up our general impres sion of this eminent personality. There is an autobiograph ical tone to all his thoughts, and the I and the editorial we are copiously employed in his writings, though with out producing the effect of egotism. His religion was not a logical system, but an experience and an outlook upon life, and his social and political philosophy also sprang rather from his observation of current and past happenings than from abstract reasoning. His moral and religious nature lay at the bottom of his thinking and gave rise to his seeming contradictions. Which of us does not find in himself anti thetical feelings, mingled pleasures and regrets, changing perspectives and varying lights and colors? Renan's un usual frankness in giving vent to his unstable moods, instead of measuring his expression by a fixed, and therefore arti ficial, standard, is one secret of the charm, the vivacity, and the actuality of his writings. It is also a reason why a review of his life is of exceptional interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ernest Renan: In Memoriam Up to 1859 I had known Paris only as a passing traveller; but in the autumn of that year I took a house in the Champs Elysees, with a view to mixing in society. One of the people whom I most desired to know was M. Ernest Renan, whose name had become familiar during the later fifties to a limited circle of persons in England; and on the 26th October I was introduced to him at the Bibliotheque Imperiale by Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein. The acquaintance prospered, ripening into friendship, and from that day to M. Renan's death, his writings and sayings, his comings and goings, have been one of the greatest interests of my life. My relations with him were not seriously interrupted even by my long absence in Asia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Conferences of Ernest Renan: Rome and Christianity; Marcus Aurelius Truth. What we love is history. History well written is always good; for, even if it should prove that man in seeking to seize the infinite has pursued a chimera, the history of these attempts, more generous than successful, will always be use ful. It proves, that, in reality, man goes beyond the circle of his limited life through his aspira tions. It shows what energy he has expended for the sake Of his love Of the good and true; it teaches us to estimate him, - this poor disinherited one, who, in addition to the sufierings which na ture imposes upon him, imposes still further upon himself the torture Of the unknown, the torture of doubt, the severe resistances Of virtue, the absti nences of austerity, the voluntary sufferings Of the ascetic. Is all this a pure loss? Is this unceasing effort to attain the unattainable as vain as the course of the child who pursues the ever flying Object of his desire? It pains me to believe it; and the faith which eludes me when I examine in detail each Of the systems scattered throughout the world, I find, in a measure, when I reflect upon all these systems together. All religions may be defective and incomplete religion in humanity is nothing less than divine, and a mark Of superior destiny. No, they have not labored in vain those grand founders, those reformers, those prophets of all ages - who have protested against the false evidences of gross materialism, who have beaten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Letters of Ernest Renan The composition of this little volume was suggested to me, so far as the first part is concerned, at least, by my dear friend Calmann-Lévy, in one of the last visits which he paid me at the College de France, about the month of May last. We calculated together the delay which the completion of the fourth volume of the "History of the People of Israel" would entail. The result of our calculation was, that it could be done only for the end of the year 1892. "Could you not" he said to me, "give me, in the meantime, a volume of miscellanies which could appear next winter?" I enumerated to him several instructive articles which had never been collected together. "No," he said to me; "take me as the measure of the public. What we wish from you, just now, is a volume in the style of your 'Souvenirs,' interesting for everybody, simple, personal" "I have, I told him, "several Breton papers, made up of old images, already firmly fixed. Perhaps others will occur to me. But, in order to form a volume from them, years would be required." "You have also some short speeches, some lectures.
