Excerpt from Against the Current: Simple Chapters From a Complex LifeI played with the children of three distinct races and loved those best who hated my peo ple most.My soul awakened in the tumult of three alien faiths and grew into maturity in the belief furthest from that of my fathers. My mind struggled first with the mature if stagnant wisdom of Hebrew teachers, who treated chil dren as if they were sages and sages as if they were children, but it escaped from that bondage into the untrammelled wisdom of the Greeks, their successors, then into that of the Germans, and later became reasonably disciplined under Slavic and anglo-saxon teachers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
