Throughout his short, unhappy life, C acquired a reputation for secrecy. Misunderstood by his parents and classmates, he became accustomed to hiding his true feelings and it was only after his death that the details of his private life were discovered. C's personal effects were sent to Maurice Baring, who wrote this fictionalized account of his unhappy life, based on true events and personalities. Maurice Baring was the author of over 50 works, including plays, biographies, translations, poetry, and novels. Emma Letley is a novelist and critic.

(with a book of verse) I TOO have travelled in the unknown land, And anchored by the unfrequented shore; I too have heard the Stygian waters roar, And seen the foam of Lethe kiss the sand.

And as a traveller brings his spoil to him More richly graced in might and bravery, So do I give to you these records dim Of bright adventure in the fields forlorn; To you who heard the blast of Roland shorn, And saw Iseult set sail forB(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Maurice Baring made an unlikely soldier but during the First World War, at the age of forty, he obtained a commission and became Private Secretary to Hugh Trenchard, Commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France, and, later on, creator of the Royal Air Force. Drawn from letters and diaries, Baring describes the momentous war years that forged the flying services. The embryo RAF was lucky to have such an observant and eloquent chronicler of its early years. General Foch said 'There never was a Staff Officer in any country, in any century like Major Maurice Baring'. When first published in 1920, it was hailed 'as one of the few war books that will survive'.

This book, first published in 1913, and, in this enlarged version, 1927, is distilled from three earlier books: With the Russians in Manchuria (impressions of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905), A Year in Russia (the record of a momentous year in the political history of Russia, 1905-1906) and Russian Essays and Studies ( later impressions).  In a country of recrudescent Russophobia it is refreshing to read an observer with more positive views. Maurice Baring had a life-long enthusiasm for Russia and things Russian. He also happened to be there during one of its most eventful periods. His writings on Russia deserve a new audience, they might have started as journalism but their quality and intelligence give them lasting value.
