Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ten years after the Masters death, we proudly publish this hypnotic little book for those who love witty quotations especially if they come from Robertson Davies.James Channing Shaws brief Preface explains this delightful book:From the time of discovery of Robertson Daviess writing, some of my greatest pleasures in reading Daviess work have come from his quotable aphorisms, opinions, and general advice for living. The quotations, usually no more than one sentence in length, address women, art, literature, life itself. Some quotationworthy phrases are mere descriptions beautifully composed, or opinions about Canadian life, or a humorously irreverent insult. In Daviess novels and plays there is an abundance of these passages, with many more in his critical writing and in the Samuel Marchbanks books.This collection of approximately eight hundred quotations was selected from Daviess written works. Those expressed in the spoken words of Daviess characters are labelled with the characters name in parentheses. Some are identified as the thoughts of the narrator. The quotations from Samuel Marchbanks, the fictional alter ego of Robertson Davies, are labelled by book title. All are quintessential Robertson Davies. Enjoy!A very short selection from this book, where every page will lure the reader in:Biography at its best is a form of fiction.Too many doctors are deeply interested in disease, but dont care much for people.There is more to marriage than four bare legs in a blanket.Never harbour grudges; they sour your stomach and do no harm to anyone else.
