Encounters: An Anthology From the First Ten Years of Encounter Magazine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Encounters: An Anthology From the First Ten Years of Encounter MagazineFinally, if I were to attempt to express what it is we have been about m a few words, I would put it this way: a review is a way of looking at the world, a record of glimpses and perspectives, concerned with the colour of things and not only with their meaning, with the visible surface Of life as well as its hidden patterns. A review is also a way of talking with the world, and, if worth listening to at all, alive with a sense of conversation, a feeling for the continuous dialogue which alone, in our days of agitated pictures and violent excitements, can sustain an imaginative interest in words and texts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
