Clarence Andrews : Old Morocco and the Forbidden Atlas

'I hasten therefore to tell you without a moments delay what did mean to write (or have perhaps written) that the book ["Old Morocco and the Forbidden Atlas"] in its human zest for impressions, in its pervading sympathy for strange mankind, its acuity of observation [...] has given me a very real pleasure [...] You will see that neither the lapse of 2 months [since receiving and reading the book?] nor the fact of re-reading, has altered my original judgement "by first impression".'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book
