About This Book

A selection of personal correspondence presents letters written by the author to family members and friends, accompanied by a brief biographical sketch and translator's note. The letters are organized according to recipient and date and range from youthful reminiscences of home to mature reflections on art, daily life, and interpersonal relationships. They mix wry humor, affectionate family detail, practical worries, and frank evaluations of literary and social matters. Scattered travel notes and anecdotal incidents give a sense of movement and habit, while the biographical material frames the correspondence within the author's life and development.
