Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of the Unusual: Around the World This little book is an attempt to tell briefly and informally my impressions of some of the places I visited, and a few of my experiences. It is written for my friends, many of whom have urged me to give them more than a passing account of what I saw and did. My trip was in no way out of the ordinary - except in a few minor instances - and I make pretensions neither to great knowledge of the countries I visited, nor to any information that cannot be found more accurately and more fully given in other travel books. It is, in other words, just a personal account of the pleasures I experienced, and which I want you to enjoy with me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glimpse Into the Past To be brought face to face with the heroes and monarchs of the ancient world, to see them in their habit as they lived, to know the countries over which they bore rule, the sports and. Pastimes with which they amused themselves and their subjects, the wars they prosecuted and the victories which they won, we have but to open a cabinet of ancient coins. In a moment we are in a fairy land. At will we can transport ourselves back almost to the first eras of human life at will we can raise before our eyes a vision of the past, the long-spent past of centuries buried in the dust of ages, but as vivid and as ineffaceable as though it were ofto-day. Coins and coinage betoken that the last steps have been taken by a com munityin its progress towards civilization. Rude indeed is the condition of a tribe whose daily wants are to be supplied by a barter of commodities. From actual value to a representation of value is a vast stride, only possible to a nation whose polished mind can evolve a life surrounded by art and its varied refinements. The currency of a people is the index of the degree of civiliza tion to which it has attained, and presents to us at one compre hensive View, in a manner more forcible than words could ever accomplish, the knowledge of its aesthetic perfection. Document ary evidence may be altered in a thousand ways; inscriptions may be added to and fabricated long after the period to which they apparently belong. Art is, however, always expressive of some contemporaneous idea, and conveys it unaltered to the latest times. No monarch, however absolute; can make the art of his time other than the expression of the feeling of that age; nor can he make it better than the advancement of his 'people at that time can afford. Art is therefore always an intelligible contemporary, one which. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis World War at Its Climax by : O'Hara O'Hara
Download or read book World War at Its Climax written by O'Hara O'Hara and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from World War at Its Climax: Being Personal Imprints of the Great Conflict and Close Up Glimpse of the World Tragedy In narrating or portraying his unusual experiences in the thrilling scenes of 1918 which marked a momentous and notable journey by twelve newspaper men under most favorable auspices and the escort of the British Government, the writer does not attempt to dignify his production by calling it a book or himself an author. Nor has he the vanity to predict for it general circulation or currency. Not for one moment does he harbor the thought that untold thousands avidly await its appearance, anticipating that it is to contain wonderful World War secrets or will seek to solve the many vexatious problems arising out of that great conflict. On the contrary, it is a tale told by a newspaper publisher whose aim is to collect a few of the outstanding things he saw and wrote about while abroad, and talked of when he returned home. Primarily, kith and kin were first and foremost in his mind, and if the record of his experiences and observations in the terrific, crashing days which brought an end to the most cruel and awful war in history, interests or enlightens those for whom its compilation is intended, he will feel himself fully justified for time taken in writing his humble effort, "All of which he saw and a part of which he was." When events herein recorded were occurring Germany was charged with monstrous outrages, with vandalism and brutalities; and Allies and Allied sympathizers sought to wreak vengeance upon her unfortunate head. Time may soften, and history correct, reports made in the heat and bitterness of war at its zenith, when such aspersions were uttered.

Book Synopsis Scenes From Life in Cairo by : Mary Louisa Whately
Download or read book Scenes From Life in Cairo written by Mary Louisa Whately and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From Life in Cairo: A Glimpse Behind the Curtain This narrative is in a great measure taken from real life, and though the story itself and many of the characters are fictitious, not a few of the conversations are literally true. The Hareem depicted is undoubtedly an exceptional one; but, as the proverb says, exception proves the rule. That the system is bad, and is one of the chief hindrances to improvement in Egypt, no one who really knows anything of the subject can for a moment deny. That recent events may, under Divine guidance, prove a means of opening the doors to education and civilization more than has ever been the case since the Moslem invasion, is the sanguine hope of all true lovers of Egypt. But the Gospel alone can bring the highest and truest wisdom and freedom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Download or read book Sunflower written by Gyula Krudy and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyula Krúdy is a marvelous writer who haunted the taverns of Budapest and lived on its streets while turning out a series of mesmerizing, revelatory novels that are among the masterpieces of modern literature. Krúdy conjures up a world that is entirely his own—dreamy, macabre, comic, and erotic—where urbane sophistication can erupt without warning into passion and madness. In Sunflower young Eveline leaves the city and returns to her country estate to escape the memory of her desperate love for the unscrupulous charmer Kálmán. There she encounters the melancholy Álmos-Dreamer, who is languishing for love of her, and is visited by the bizarre and beautiful Miss Maszkerádi, a woman who is a force of nature. The plot twists and turns; elemental myth mingles with sheer farce: Krúdy brilliantly illuminates the shifting contours and acid colors of the landscape of desire. John Bátki’s outstanding translation of Sunflower is the perfect introduction to the world of Gyula Krúdy, a genius as singular as Robert Walser, Bruno Schulz, or Joseph Roth.
