Fascinating set of memoirs written by R. Baruch Ha’Levy Epstein, the Torah Temimah. This book is a valuable source of important historical and biographical information about the Volozhin Yeshiva as well as many important figures with whom the author had personal connections with, including the Beis Ha’Levy, R. Chaim Brisker, the author’s father the Aruch HaShulchan and most famously the author’s Uncle, the Netziv.
