General Grant's memoirs.Do you know how he came to write them? This is interesting. He was dying of throat cancer... and he wanted to leave something behind for his family... so he started writing his autobiography. He worked every day for hours and hours. He was in great pain, anguish... but he just kept on writing. And in the end, he produced the most astounding book. So very beautiful. Just a little velvet to see you through.
《格蘭特將軍的回憶錄》 你知道這本書他是怎樣寫成的嗎? 這是個有趣的故事 他當時深受喉癌的折磨 希望在死之前 為他的家人留下點可以回憶的東西 所以他就開始寫自傳 他每天從早寫到晚 他雖然疼痛難忍 極度不適 但他始終沒有停筆 最后 他發表了這本驚世駭俗的巨作 非常了不起 一點小小的心意 希望能幫你渡過難關
