Excerpt from The Life of Ernest Renan The same quality neither rich nor sound but infinitely sweet - clings about the people. The men in the fields gaze at you with stem dark faces in an almost animal placidity.' In Renan's youth, they were still almost as wild as their Country, strange rude men, with flowing hair, wrapped up in goatskins in wintertime. The girls are charming - it is difficult to say why their slender and yet rough-hewn figures have no more grace of curve than a thirteenth century church saint in her niche. Their pale faces, with down-dropped lids and delicate pointed Chins, have very little bloom. In their black dresses and white Coifs they have the austere distinction, the demure reserve, of very young novices who renounce they know not what.

Excerpt from Ernest Renan A study of Renan's life emphasizes the fact that his works, even when apparently most abstract and erudite, are in a surprising degree the product of his character and his experience; and in this experience the external is insepa rably blended with the internal. Events, books, friends, dreams, meditations, travels, little incidents and observa tions, diligent and minute investigations, all combine into a unity amid diversity, which makes up our general impres sion of this eminent personality. There is an autobiograph ical tone to all his thoughts, and the I and the editorial we are copiously employed in his writings, though with out producing the effect of egotism. His religion was not a logical system, but an experience and an outlook upon life, and his social and political philosophy also sprang rather from his observation of current and past happenings than from abstract reasoning. His moral and religious nature lay at the bottom of his thinking and gave rise to his seeming contradictions. Which of us does not find in himself anti thetical feelings, mingled pleasures and regrets, changing perspectives and varying lights and colors? Renan's un usual frankness in giving vent to his unstable moods, instead of measuring his expression by a fixed, and therefore arti ficial, standard, is one secret of the charm, the vivacity, and the actuality of his writings. It is also a reason why a review of his life is of exceptional interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ernest Renan: In Memoriam Up to 1859 I had known Paris only as a passing traveller; but in the autumn of that year I took a house in the Champs Elysees, with a view to mixing in society. One of the people whom I most desired to know was M. Ernest Renan, whose name had become familiar during the later fifties to a limited circle of persons in England; and on the 26th October I was introduced to him at the Bibliotheque Imperiale by Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein. The acquaintance prospered, ripening into friendship, and from that day to M. Renan's death, his writings and sayings, his comings and goings, have been one of the greatest interests of my life. My relations with him were not seriously interrupted even by my long absence in Asia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
