A collection of essays and memoirs in which Russell offers his reflections on prominent figures and events he witnessed, along with his philosophical and social views.
It is difficult for those too young to remember the world as it was before 1914 to imagine the vast difference that a man of my age feels between childhood memories and the realities of the present. I am now trying to accustom myself, and I have succeeded in doing so with no emotion, to a world of crumbling empires, of communism, of atomic bombs, of Asian self-determination, of the downfall of the aristocracy. In a world as uncertain as this, where man is not sure of his survival into the future, and where ancient nations vanish like morning mist, it is not easy for those who in their youth were accustomed to the solidity of the past to believe that what they are going through now is the real reality and not a passing nightmare, for there are few of the conventions and ways of life that in my childhood were considered as solid as granite.
