Dad, I'm sorry
chills, must end, do not worry,
I never showed you my aquarium,
I do not read your letters, I can no longer
Yugenia reads them, she admires them,
completed parenting system, she says,
yes, completed
you don't know Yugenia, this is my wife,
she is not aristocratic, sorry, you have two grandsons,
Dad, you love me, but if you knew me, Dad,
you warned against mistakes, but you did not give me me,
at first I was afraid you would stop loving,
then became afraid of your love,
worst of all were your praises and concealed disappointments,
I could not move, you bound me,
blooded friend, benefactor, yes, every shilling, but you did not notice that I was left-handed,
you place a bet on me as a thoroughbred horse,
and I was like a fish gasping in perfumes
all your life you have asked for my forgiveness for giving me life
and made me live on the right side
I lived it for you, and for myself left
Dad, I'm sorry

Сама книга - восхитительная. Если не с точки зрения практических советов для поведения, то хотя бы своим изящным стилем написания, в котором Честерфилду нет равных. И конечно же, исторической атмосферой аристократии, для любителей жанра. Ещё больше мудрости мне удалось подчерпнуть в биографии и некоторых деталях жизни обоих Честерфилдов после самой Книги, что позволяет увидеть картину, может не целиком, но более полно, чем без них. Именно это послесловие поразило меня и до сих пор держит под впечатлением. Рекомендую читать сначала книгу, потом биографию, или как в моем случае, e-book книга шла с послесловием.

Мысли видного политического деятеля, которыми он делился с сыном бастардом, в надежде что и сын добьется успехов. Мне понравилась эта книга, советую прочесть.
