Excerpt from The Friendship of Books: And Other Lectures
Many of those who were most intimately associated with the late Mr. Maurice, in the untiring and many-sided work upon which he so freely spent himself for his country and his fellow-men, were inclined, while he lived, to feel indignant and discouraged that so utterly noble and brave a life was not better appreciated. That the first theologian of their time, who had done more than any other man to widen and deepen English thought, should be entirely ignored by the dispensers of Church patronage, might not indeed have surprised them. He was not of the stuff of which dignitaries are made. It is a rare chance in Church government which lands prophets or apostles in stalls or thrones. But he had claims on the reading and working classes of the nation such as no other man had, and which also seemed to be ignored except by a small minority. His "History of Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy" (to mention one only of his greater works) was a mine of learning made living and human, and of original thought made useful for the humblest student, such as no other living man had produced.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how reading can cultivate friendships with authors through their literary creations. The author argues that true friendship and deep understanding of a book are only possible when we perceive it as the work of an individual rather than an abstract entity. By focusing on authors such as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Lord Bacon, the book reveals how great writers make friends of books, seeing beyond their physical form to connect with the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of real people expressed within. This insightful exploration demonstrates how books can become windows into the human condition, offering valuable companionship and a profound understanding of the world and ourselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330780121_0
