Profiles is a book written by Arthur Ketchum and originally published in 1916. It is a collection of biographical essays that profile various notable figures of the time, including writers, artists, musicians, and politicians. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on American figures such as Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, and Theodore Roosevelt. The second part profiles European figures such as Leo Tolstoy, Henrik Ibsen, and Vincent van Gogh. Ketchum's writing style is engaging and informative, providing readers with a detailed look into the lives and accomplishments of these influential figures. The essays are well-researched and offer insights into the personalities, motivations, and struggles of each individual. Ketchum's admiration for his subjects is evident throughout, but he doesn't shy away from discussing their flaws and shortcomings as well. Overall, Profiles is a fascinating read for anyone interested in history, biography, or the arts. It offers a glimpse into the lives of some of the most important cultural figures of the early 20th century and provides valuable context for understanding their impact on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
