The Soul of London


Leído por Cori Samuel

(4.5 stars; 5 reviews)

'Most of us love places very much as we may love what, for us, are the distinguished men of our social lives. [...] We are, all of us who are Londoners, paying visits of greater or less duration to a Personality that, whether we love it or very cordially hate it, fascinates us all. And, paying my visit, I have desired to give some such record.

I have tried to make it anything rather than encyclopaedic, topographical, or archaeological. To use a phrase of literary slang I have tried to "get the atmosphere" of modern London -- of the town in which I have passed so many days; of the immense place that has been the background for so many momentous happenings to so many of my fellows.' - Summary by Ford Madox Ford, from the Introductory; 1905. (4 hr 56 min)

Atmospheric


(5 stars)

Ford Madox Ford's book on London of 1906 is just as atmospheric as one of his great novels. Terrific reading by Cori Samuels.
