Bag om Father And Son

Father And Son: Biographical Recollections is a memoir written by Edmund Gosse, first published in 1907. The book is an autobiographical account of Gosse's relationship with his father, Philip Henry Gosse, a prominent naturalist and member of the Plymouth Brethren religious sect. The memoir is divided into two parts, the first of which describes Edmund's childhood and upbringing in a strict, religious household. He recounts his father's deep commitment to his faith and his work as a naturalist, which often took him away from home for long periods of time. Edmund also reflects on his own struggles to reconcile his love for literature and art with his father's strict religious beliefs. The second part of the book focuses on the strained relationship between Edmund and his father as he grows older and begins to question his faith. He describes his growing disillusionment with the Plymouth Brethren and his eventual departure from the sect. The memoir ends with the death of Philip Henry Gosse and Edmund's reflections on their difficult but ultimately loving relationship. Father And Son: Biographical Recollections is widely regarded as a classic of English literature and a groundbreaking work in the genre of memoir. It is praised for its vivid prose and its honest portrayal of the complex dynamics between fathers and sons. The book has been adapted for stage and screen numerous times and continues to be read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
