Book Description

Excerpt from The Borzoi 1920: Being a Sort of Record of Five Years' Publishing IS it necessary to speak of the necessity of a serious study Of literature, or at least Of a wide acquaintance with it? Liter ature is the heart Of the world, winged with all its joys and sorrows, with all the dreams and hopes Of men, with their despair and wrath, with their reverence before the beauty Of nature, their fears in face Of her mysteries. This heart throbs violently and eternally with the thirst of self-knowledge, as though in it all those substances and forces of nature that have created the human personality as the highest expression Of their complexity and wisdom aspired to clarify the meaning and aim Of life.
