Sommario/riassunto |
|
It was into the famous Baring family of merchant bankers that Maurice Baring was born in 1874, the seventh of eight children. A man of immense subtlety and style, Baring absorbed every drop of culture his fortunate background gave him; in combination with his many natural talents and prolific writing this assured him a place in literary history. |
