Synopsis
Excerpt from My Sister Henrietta
The reprint here presented, was, indeed, arranged by Mme. Cornelia Renan.
Other than these words, prefixed as a note to the French text of Ma Smur Henriette (paris, a book like this really requires no further introduction. It came from the heart, and will surely reach other hearts how ever widely asunder in time or space.

My Sister Henrietta (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a touching memoir, written by Ernest Renan about his sister Henriette, who was his closest confidant, intellectual sparring partner, and lifelong companion. The memoir provides an intimate glimpse into their lives and the profound bond they shared. Henriette was a remarkable woman who was well ahead of her time in the 1800s. Despite her brilliance, she chose a life of self-sacrifice, putting her brother's career and happiness before her own. She was also a deeply spiritual woman who struggled with her faith, eventually rejecting the supernatural elements of Catholicism, while retaining a strong commitment to Christian ethics. Her intellectual journey is a fascinating one that will resonate with many modern readers. The memoir is also valuable for its historical insights and its vivid descriptions of the Middle East, especially Palestine and Lebanon, where Renan and his sister traveled extensively. Renan was a renowned scholar and his observations on the region are both erudite and deeply personal. Overall, this book is a beautifully written and deeply moving tribute to a remarkable woman. Renan's insights into his sister's character and his own relationship with her are timeless and will continue to speak to readers for generations to come.
