Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the two completely different lives I lived, growing up in the hood and then my life after the hood, the thug and the gentleman. The hood was a dark place where drug addicts and drug dealers controlled the streets. Growing up in the hood as a kid was all about surviving. Many times I wondered where my next meal was going to come from. I began fighting at a young age, at least once a month. Candles and matches was a life line considering how often our lights went out. This was my life and I figured it would be my life to the end. This book is my journey thru the hood and my success outside of it. It's how three books inspired me to leave the hood and change my life! For most of my life, I wouldn't read a book from front to back. My friend begged me to read my first book at the age of 27 and at that point my life changed dramatically. At that time I realized that I had access to all the information I needed to become better in life. But although the hood is a dark place, it equipped me with a hustle and a desire to survive that's unmatchable. The books inspired an educated gentleman, the hood breed an unstoppable thug, both together created a business man that came from nothing to building a million dollar company.

Book Synopsis Confessions of a Thug by : Philip Meadows Taylor
Download or read book Confessions of a Thug written by Philip Meadows Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'You have given a faithful portrait of a Thug's life, his ceremonies, and his acts' Often overshadowed by Kipling's Kim or Forster's A Passage to India, Philip Meadows Taylor's forgotten classic, Confessions of a Thug (1839), is nevertheless the most influential novel of early nineteenth-century British India. This was the first dramatic account to expose a European readership to the fantastic world of the murderous Thugs, or highway robbers, who strangled their victims and who have ever since been a stable of Western popular culture. Writing in the voice of a captured Thug, Taylor presents an Orientalist fantasy that is part picaresque adventure and part colonial expos?. Confessions of a Thug offers a unique glimpse of the colonial world in the making, revealing how the British imagined themselves to be omniscient and in complete control of their Indian subjects. This unique critical edition makes available a fascinating and significant work of Empire writing, in addition to excerpts from the original colonial texts that inspired Taylor's narrative.

Book Synopsis Confessions of a Thug by : Philip Meadows Taylor
Download or read book Confessions of a Thug written by Philip Meadows Taylor and published by RICHARD BENTLEY. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Thug Confessions of a Thug is an English novel written by Philip Meadows Taylor in 1839 based on the Thuggee cult in British India. Ameer Ali, the anti-hero protagonist of Confessions of a Thug, was said to be based on a real Thug called Syeed Amir Ali (or Feringhea), whom the author was acquainted with. Confessions of a Thug went on to become a bestseller in 19th century Britain. The story of the Thuggee cult was popularized by Confessions of a Thug, leading to the Hindi word "thug" entering the English language. The tale of crime which forms the subject of the following pages is, alas! almost all true; what there is of fiction has been supplied only to connect the events, and make the adventures of Ameer Ali as interesting as the nature of his horrible profession would permit me. In this manner Thuggee was found to be in active practice all over India. The knowledge of its existence was at first confined to the central provinces, but as men were apprehended from a distance, they gave information of others beyond them in the almost daily commission of murder: the circle gradually widened till it spread over the whole continent—and from the foot of the Himalayas to Cape Comorin, from Cutch to Assam, there was hardly a province in the whole of India where Thuggee had not been practised—where the statements of the informers were not confirmed by the disinterment of the dead!

Book Synopsis Representations of India, 1740-1840 by : A. Chatterjee
Download or read book Representations of India, 1740-1840 written by A. Chatterjee and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-05-13 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chatterjee analyzes how writing over the period of a century justified and was affected by the introduction and extension of British domination of India, demonstrating the link between written representations and the ideological, economic and political climate and debates. By showing how the representations of Britons in India, Indian religion and society and government evolved over the period 1740 to 1840, the author fills the gap between the early colonial 'exotic East' and the later 'primitive subject nation' perceptions.
