Sobre este artículo
Angus & Robertson, 1957. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. b/w. frontis. portrait of the author; the fourth & last of Sir Philip Gibbs memoirs. EverybodyÂs life is an adventure, but that of Philip Gibbs, covering a long span of years, has been exceptional in its variety of experience, He has been one of the chroniclers of history and for a, long time was one of the most famous journalists in Fleet Street, often behind the scenes of the passing drama. As a war correspondent on the Western Front in the First World War he earned renown and won his knighthood. He met many of the chief actors in this pageant of the times-Kings and Princes, Presidents and Statesmen, great soldiers, famous authors and all sorts and conditions of men and women in high places and low-both good and bad. For this book, crowded with anecdote, his memory has dipped into the past - a memory so rich that it is like an international portrait gallery or an inexhaustible storehouse of reminiscences, brought forth without effort, as in his conversation. These pages contain a summing up of his 'life's adventure', and his rapid glimpses of people and scenes are linked together in a kind of survey dealing with various aspects of human nature as he met it in many countries and has described it here without a touch of pomposity or egotism. For Philip Gibbs .has always a glinting humour and a kind of inner light which touches all his work. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 208 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
