And Even Now by Sir Max Beerbohm is a collection of essays that showcases the author's trademark wit and sharp observations on various aspects of life, culture, and human nature. Written in the early 20th century, the essays reveal Beerbohm's deep insights into the complexities of modern existence, blending humor with reflection. The collection opens with A Relic, an essay in which the narrator discovers an old portmanteau, sparking memories of a past encounter. Among its contents is a fragment of a fan belonging to a woman named Angelique, which leads to a reflection on a dramatic moment witnessed in Normandy. This triggers a meditation on memory, longing, and the creative impulses that shape one's life and writing. Throughout the book, Beerbohm explores themes of nostalgia, personal reflection, and the influence of small, seemingly insignificant events on our emotions and creative drives. With its mix of humor and thoughtful introspection, And Even Now offers readers a rich, engaging collection of essays that continue to resonate with those interested in the nuances of human experience.
