George Moore 
Memoirs of My Dead Life (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1906, this first volume of Moore’s memoirs scandalized with its frank approach to sex and sensuality.  In these pages is a loving evocation of women and cities loved and lost, of emotions as deeply felt as they proved to be evanescent. 

Over de auteur

George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was a pioneering modern Irish writer. He had to fight against censorship early in his career. Despite the powerful forces arrayed against him, Moore succeeded in establishing realism as a legitimate literary mode.  His best-known novels include A Mummer’s Wife (1885) and Esther Waters (1894).
