Summary: An unconventional autobiography, The Picture of My Early Life, is a rambling series of ‘memory pictures’ that the great litterateur and thinker chronicled covering the first twenty-seven formative years of his life. The descriptions are insightful, informative of the period and are wrapped in wry and self-deprecating humour. The use of conjugated words together with a complex prose structure makes it a timeless literary creation where not a word or punctuation feels out of place. In this translation, every attempt has been made to be true to the original and to preserve the finer nuances to the extent possible in another language.
