Excerpt from The Life of Heinrich ConriedThere was much of the spontaneous in Hein rich Conried, he scintillated in a room full of people, he at once became the centre of attrae tion. But there was also much of the reserve in Heinrich Conried, and he hardly ever gave expression to his dreams. His was an elusive personality - now fascinating, then aggressively sarcastic and almost rude, now loquacious in anecdote, but almost taciturn where his inner self was concerned. His true friends knew that behind all this was the rare quality of the man. He often fell into long silences - and it is in the silence man really and truly and deeply lives, says Maeterlinck. While automobiling, Mr. Conried always sat next to the chauffeur, so that he need not talk if he did not wish. And he was equally as reserved in his correspondence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
