Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality—not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. “A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life—why did he leave? what did he learn?—as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded.

Excerpt: ... ness for the prosecution it would not be quite proper for me to talk to him. Do you think it would be possible for you to casually ascertain from him a little more fully what he knows about the hour of the murder?" "Well "hesitated the sheriff. "But you're a sacred camel," urged Mr. Tutt. The fact that Emerson also was a camel and that all camels are proverbially thirsty animals may have accounted for Squire Mason's failure to learn of the lost witness' reappearance before court opened. While the worthy Hezekiah during the progress of the trial had at times felt momentary twinges of apprehension--not, of conscience--but lest his motives and conduct of the prosecution should be impugned, he now felt secure. The only person in the world--as he thought--whose testimony could possibly subject him to censure had providentially absented himself. It made no difference whether Skinny took the stand or stayed off it. His denial wouldn't affect the strength of the case in any way, --would amount to nothing in view of the blood on his hands, the marks of his shoes, the pipe, the twenty five-dollar gold pieces and the fact that Emerson had trailed him straight to Pottsville within fifteen minutes. So the Squire felt pretty fine and the dome on the Capitol at Albany shone brightly and near at hand. He had old Tutt down and out! Even the New York papers would probably carry a big story about the conviction. In the background of his crafty mind lurked, as well, the realization that in case of a conviction there would be no one to demand the payment of Skinny's semiannual interest. So the Hon. Hezekiah strolled back into the court room, picking his teeth with a good deal of satisfaction. It was jammed as usual, --the audience breathlessly awaiting the...

Download or read book Death to Bourgeois Society written by and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no period has so marked, so deformed, or so defined the anarchist movement as the three years in France from 1892 to 1894, the years known as the Age of Attentats, the years dominated by the Propagandists of the Deed. Death to Bourgeois Society tells the story of four young anarchists who were guillotined in France in the 1890s. Their courage was motivated by noble ideals whose realization they saw their bombs and assassinations as hastening. In a time of cynicism and political decay for many, they represented a purity lacking in society, and their actions when they were captured, their forthrightness, their defiance up to the guillotine only added to their luster. The texts collected in Death to Bourgeois Society focus on the main avatars of this movement: the grave robber/murderer/terrorist Ravachol; Auguste Vaillant, who bombed the Chamber of Deputies; Emile Henry, who attacked both the bourgeois in their class function and their very existence; and the Italian immigrant Santo Caserio, who brought down the curtain on the age when he assassinated the French president Sadi Carnot. The volume contains key first person narratives of the events, from Ravachol’s forbidden speech and his account of his life, to Henry’s questioning at his trial and his programmatic letter to the director of the prison in which he was held, to Vaillant’s confrontation with the investigators immediately after tossing his bomb, and Caserio’s description of the assassination and his defense at his trial.

Book Synopsis The French Hermit Mystery by : Ella Fredrics
Download or read book The French Hermit Mystery written by Ella Fredrics and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The murder of Germain Dubroca in his bush camp in 1890 is one of the most baffling unsolved murders in Australian history. He was an educated Frenchman and a gentleman, probably not who he said he was, and he chose to live in a shack far away from people and was terrified of unknown visitors. He told locals that he had been hunted from France all the way to Australia and that he would be murdered in an act of vengeance for a past betrayal. Although few took him seriously, ultimately his death occurred just as he said it would. This book examines the lost evidence from the flawed police investigation, and reviews the suspects to find a possible perpetrator, even if not the motive, for this brutal vengeance exacted after two decades and on the far side of the world.
