Family chronicle. Family History Writing Guide

The book of William Hoffmann - an American teacher of literature - contains a description of the author’s method of fixing and preserving the personal history of man. He writes about how much our memory keeps, about how valuable and at the same time our memories are short -lived. Unless, of course, they cannot be recorded. But how to make this process - writing texts, stories of your life - is all feasible? This is what is described (and shown on excellent examples) in his book. William Hoffmann offers simple ways, gives many examples, expresses interesting and inspiring thoughts, helps with his observations and prompts - and all this to help us maintain the most valuable story - the history of our family.
