Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working-Man's Way in the World: Being the Autobiography of a Journeyman Printer I know; and that is, 'that if what is here written and printed be not worth reading, nothing that can be said in apology will make it so. I might say, truly enough, that what I have written I have seen; but the question is, whether what I have seen and been in the course of my life is worth writing about? Of that the reader is perhaps the best judge. I ask but his candid consideration, and shall submit to his verdict, whatever it be with the best grace I may.

Download or read book Memoirs of Montparnasse written by John Glassco and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of Montparnasse is a delicious book about being young, restless, reckless, and without cares. It is also the best and liveliest of the many chronicles of 1920s Paris and the exploits of the lost generation. In 1928, nineteen-year-old John Glassco escaped Montreal and his overbearing father for the wilder shores of Montparnasse. He remained there until his money ran out and his health collapsed, and he enjoyed every minute of his stay. Remarkable for their candor and humor, Glassco’s memoirs have the daft logic of a wild but utterly absorbing adventure, a tale of desire set free that is only faintly shadowed by sadness at the inevitable passage of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tom Mann's Memoirs The reduction of working hours to nine a day, coupled with the stoppage of overtime, had a very important bearing on my life. The firm having agreed to pay extra for overtime, very astutely gave orders immediately for a considerable exten sion of the factory, sufficient to accommodate an additional hundred men and boys. This was exactly what the men had aimed at, and I believe all were delighted at the diminution of overtime. For myself, I very rarely worked any overtime after this during the additional five years I remained there to complete my apprenticeship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tale of a Plain Man In the writing and publication of the first edition of these memoirs, at the request of my children and grandchildren, I was not influenced by the thought that they would be read except from a sense of filial duty.

Download or read book Memoirs of Lorenzo Da Ponte written by Lorenzo Da Ponte and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plot and counterplot lie at the heart of Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Marriage of Figaro, the three brilliant libretti that Lorenzo Da Ponte prepared for Mozart. They were also central to Da Ponte's own extraordinary life. His Memoirs record a fantastic variety of romantic, political, and professional intrigues, and tell of meetings with a host of remarkable men. In a life that took him from the canals of Venice to the streets of New York, Da Ponte was at different times priest, professional gambler, proprietor of a bordello, political agitator, court poet, impresario, grocery store owner, and the first professor of Italian literature at Columbia University. His Memoirs, a minor classic of Italian literature, are the picaresque and engrossing story of a man of enormous talent and unsurpassed flair who was, above all, an indefatigable survivor. "I shall speak of things . . . so singular in their oddity as in some manner to instruct, or at least entertain, without wearying." —Lorenzo da Ponte
Download or read book Ernest Wende written by Adelbert Moot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ernest Wende: A Memoir In spite of like political and personal requests in his day, Dr. Wende rigidly adhered to the Civil Service Law, and took the first man on the list, regardless of politics. It is true, the 2bad preference clause of the Civil Service Act once compelled Dr. Wende to take the second man, a vet eran, with the result that he had to discharge him for good cause within two years. Still his present successor in office, and all those under him, when let alone, so thoroughly appreciate the soundness of the organization first given the office by Dr. Wende, that they, in turn, are solicitous to maintain, and even increase, its reputation for efficiency, a thing that can only be done by rigidly excluding all personal and political considerations from its administra tion; for such considerations have no place when the health of people is concerned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man With the Book, or Memoirs of John Ross of Brucefield Coming, peculiar pains have been taken to give Mr. Ross's views as he held them, and, as far as possible, as he expressed them. Most of the statements are given, not merely from a general recollection of his views, but from special recollections of actual conversations. Where this was the case, ' much of: his own wording has, I am satisfied, been consciously and unconsciously reproduced, as some who knew him best will readily recognize. Though these chapters may occasion the most fault finding, they will, I am persuaded, be the most prized, as containing truths not often met with and sorely needed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grant in Peace: From Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a Personal Memoir Was that all right? The disclosure is no betrayal of his confidence, now that his modesty can no longer be pained. It cannot but make his calm and stalwart nature still more interesting to know that it covered the ordinary softnesses of humanity. The living, breathing man is nearer to us than the statue Of stone or unreal demi-god. The Grant that I knew was full of human nature. He had his weaknesses, but they made him more lovable sometimes to those Who found them out he had his faults, but to deny this would be to deny that he was mortal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Memoirs of a Failure: With an Account of the Man and His Manuscript Dunlevy was a student at the University of Virginia at the time when some of us, who were undergraduates, began to notice and comment upon his personality. He was considerably older than the other students; and we imagined that this was the reason why he held himself aloof from us. We used to watch him from the athletic field on pleasant afternoons. He was wont to stand on the great flight of stone steps which led from a shaded avenue to gently sloping terraces that lie before the Rotunda, the name of the college library. Dunlevy used to stand at the foot of these steps, looking intently at the lofty porticos, as though impressed with the majesty of this copy of the Pantheon, its majesty in all its simplicity.
