Opis książki

Passing By is a compilation of diary writings by Maurice Baring. Baring was an English author, translator and essayist, and also a travel writer and war correspondent. Excerpt: "We dined at the Carlton, Randall, the Housmans and myself. I think she is even more beautiful than I thought before. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was in black, with one row of very good pearls. I never saw such eyes. Housman is too awful; sleek, fat and common beyond words, but sharp as a needle."
