Book Description
Some Reminiscences is a collection of Joseph Conrad's ideas and emotions about his life memories and some of his analyses on the nature of writing and philosophical thought. Excerpt: "As a general rule we do not want much encouragement to talk about ourselves; yet this little book is the result of a friendly suggestion, and even of a little friendly pressure. I defended myself with some spirit; but, with characteristic tenacity, the friendly voice insisted: "You know, you really must." It was not an argument, but I submitted it at once. If one must!. . You perceive the force of a word."
