Download or read book Remus written by Timothy Peter Wiseman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romulus founded Rome - but why does the myth give him a twin brother Remus, who is killed at the moment of the foundation? This mysterious legend has been oddly neglected. Roman historians ignore it as irrelevant to real history; students of myth concentrate on the more glamorous mythology of Greece. In this book, Professor Wiseman provides, for the first time, a detailed analysis of all the variants of the story, and a historical explanation for its origin and development. His conclusions offer important new insights, both into the history and ideology of pre-imperial Rome and into the methods and motives of myth-creation in a non-literate society. In the richly unfamiliar Rome of Pan, Hermes and Circe the witch-goddess, where a general grows miraculous horns and prophets demand human sacrifice, Remus stands for the unequal struggle of the many against the powerful few.

Download or read book The Bourbon King written by Bob Batchelor and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise and fall of the man who cracked Prohibition to become one of the world’s richest criminal masterminds—and helped inspire The Great Gatsby. Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon…The tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition. Yes, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition in October, 1919, but the law didn’t stop George Remus from amassing a fortune that would be worth billions of dollars today. As one Jazz Age journalist put it, “Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil.” Author Bob Batchelor breathes life into the largest bootlegging operation in America—greater than that of Al Capone—and a man considered the best criminal defense lawyer of his era. Remus bought an empire of distilleries on Kentucky’s “Bourbon Trail” and used his other profession, as a pharmacist, to profit off legal loopholes. He spent millions bribing officials in the Harding Administration, and he created a roaring lifestyle that epitomized the Jazz Age over which he ruled. That is, before he came crashing down in one of the most sensational murder cases in American history: a cheating wife, the G-man who seduced her and put Remus in jail, and the plunder of a Bourbon Empire. Remus murdered his wife in cold-blood and then shocked a nation winning his freedom based on a condition he invented—temporary maniacal insanity. “The fantastic story of George Remus makes the rest of the “Roaring Twenties” look like the “Boring Twenties” in comparison.” ―David Pietrusza, author of 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents

Book Synopsis Romulus and Remus by : Aubrey J. Sher
Download or read book Romulus and Remus written by Aubrey J. Sher and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Malloy, a first year student at the elite Van Loring Latin College, a school strictly for pre-med and pre-law students with extremely high IQ's and almost perfect SAT scores, is accused of murdering his professor of criminology. All the professors of this College incidentally are considered the most brilliant world-wide, members of the high IQ organization known as the Cerebralists. Harold Goldberg, the student's attorney; Ernie Barnes, private investigator; John Mirabella, Chief of Homicide Detectives; and Carl Wells, Prosecutor, all play key roles in this murder mystery, as do the college professors and the administrative personnel. Mrs. Elizabeth Arliss enters the story as the comic relief in a way, as her testimony at the trial brings the gallery to a standing ovation. Whether Tom Malloy is the murderer or not remains the mystery until the end. The chapters preceding the crime detail the planning of the murders and the working of two separate minds intent on accomplishing the same objective - the perfect murder. This book is a page turner, thrilling, and suspenseful up to the very end with the defense attorney and the prosecutor attempting to outwit one another before a judge who refuses to tolerate their shenanigans.
Book Synopsis Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings by : Joel Chandler Harris
Download or read book Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings written by Joel Chandler Harris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am advised by my publishers that this book is to be included in their catalogue of humorous publications, and this friendly warning gives me an opportunity to say that however humorous it may be in effect, its intention is perfectly serious; and, even if it were otherwise, it seems to me that a volume written wholly in dialect must have its solemn, not to say melancholy, features. With respect to the Folk-Lore scenes, my purpose has been to preserve the legends themselves in their original simplicity, and to wed them permanently to the quaint dialect—if, indeed, it can be called a dialect—through the medium of which they have become a part of the domestic history of every Southern family; and I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the old plantation.
