description: Excerpt from The Writings of Ivan PaninThis thought makes the unity of the book.The papers on Emerson and Tolstoy are the first and the last of a series of addresses on "Modern Teachers and Christianity," delivered in Boston about 1898. The others were Carlyle, Ruskin and Arnold. But the Introductory address and those on Carlyle, Ruskin and Arnold got themselves weeded out in due the real question being not whether they be saved, but rather whether the two remaining had not better also follow their companions into their allotted naught.The several "Tribulations" recorded in what may seem a humorous way, were to the writer then and still remain - far from humorous. They are, however, a most effective commentary on Aphorism No. 542.Not everything in this volume represents the writer of to-day; but only as he has been at times.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
