Georg Brandes's 'Recollections of My Childhood and Youth' is a captivating memoir that provides a unique glimpse into the formative years of this influential Danish literary critic and scholar. Through vivid storytelling and introspective reflection, Brandes offers readers a detailed account of his upbringing, education, and early experiences that shaped his intellectual development. Written in a fluid and engaging prose style, the memoir is not only a personal narrative but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and cultural milieu of 19th-century Europe. Brandes's keen observations and sharp insights make this work a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of personal narrative and intellectual history. As a pioneering figure in the field of literary criticism, Brandes's recollections provide readers with a deeper understanding of his oeuvre and the intellectual context that informed his critical perspectives. 'Recollections of My Childhood and Youth' is a must-read for scholars of literature, history, and intellectual thought, as it offers a rare glimpse into the life of a profound thinker whose influence reverberates to this day.

All I could read of this book was the first few pages. I was hoping it would bring be to another time another place and could alter for a brief period the heaviness of this time and place. But the first few pages brought me just into the door and I knew immediately that I did not want to enter in further. This individual came across to me as being dirty minded.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lamentable lay-out, size and formatting of an otherwise important work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2016

No arguing about this: Brandes was a great personality of his time(s), and the world of today would do well to re-acquaint itself with this true multinational humanist, who died shortly before the various nationalisms and imperialisms exacerbated themselves into the monstrous crimes of the 1930s and 1940s (as they are close to doing nowadays).

But it is a mystery to me why the publisher ("CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform" is indicated here, but the book itself says both "Jefferson Publication" and "ICGtesting.com") would choose to publish a strangely formatted, poorly laid-out and awkwardly sized book (and drop the valuable index of names in its stride) rather than one of the perfectly good scannings that are available as pdfs around the net (at archive.org, for instance), as other publishers of other long-forgotten, out-of-print and, most essentially, out-of-copyright works have done. One also wonders why "Reminiscences..." in the title was turned into "Recollections..." — certainly not a radically different interpretation of the 1905 Danish original's title "Levned". We might also have been interested in knowing the English translator's name, but she or he is absent from this edition, as are the publisher (Duffield in New York, according to openlibrary.org) and the publishing date (1906, it appears).

Luckily, the text is "clean" — none of the typos and mishaps which OCR processing all too often gratifies us with. So I guess that for the price it deserves a three ***.
