Are newspapers responsible for this fact? Or is curiosity answerable for the rage for interviews, tit-bits of information and articles upon topical subjects now so prevalent? Honours are probably divided; at all events the origin is of little importance. This curiosity concerning past events has helped to insure success to the numerous ´´Recollections´´ and ´´Memoirs´´ which have been, and are now being, published. The memorialist of old days was a reporter, though he knew it not, for did he not note down daily events and show us celebrities in their homes? And if he was sometimes biassed in his opinions or only told half the truth, after all he was not unlike his confrere of to-day. Another reason for this success is the fact that these memoirs are often quite as dramatic and as exciting as the modern novel; they even possess one distinct advantage, because they are usually true or partly true. Now most readers, now-a-days, love realistic details and what they are pleased to call ´´dramas in real life.´´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
