Winston Churchill
A Far Country
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform May 14, 2012)
The book follows the career of Hugh Paret from youth to manhood, and how his profession as a corporation lawyer gradually changed his values. My name is Hugh Paret. I was a corporation lawyer, but by no means a typical one, the choice of my profession being merely incidental, and due, as will be seen, to the accident of environment. The book I am about to write might aptly be called The Autobiography of a Romanticist. In that sense, if in no other, I have been a typical American, regarding my country as the happy hunting-ground of enlightened self-interest, as a function of my desires. Whether or not I have completely got rid of this romantic virus I must leave to those the aim of whose existence is to eradicate it from our literature and our life. A somewhat Augean task! Includes a biography of the Author
