Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingdom of Slender Swords It has been my happy fortune to have made the acquaintance of the gifted author of this book. From tune to time she was kind enough to confide to me its progress. When the manuscript was completed I was privileged to go over it, and the hours so spent were of unbroken interest and pleasure. What especially touched and concerned me was, of course, the Japanese characters depicted, the motives of these actors in their respective roles, and other Japanese incidents connected with the story. I am most agreeably impressed with the remarkable insight into, and the just appreciation of, the Japanese spirit displayed by the author. While the story itself is her creation, the local coloring, the moral atmosphere called in to weave the thread of the tale, are matters belonging to the domain of facts, and constitute an amount of useful and authentic information. Indeed, she has taken unusual pains to be correctly informed about the people of the country and their customs, and in this she has succeeded to a very eminent degree. I may mention one or two of the striking characteristics of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Kingdom of Slender Swords written by Hallie Erminie Rives and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Kingdom of Slender Swords" by Hallie Erminie Rives is an adventurous tale set in the country of Japan, in the Meiji period. The sacrifice of the girl Haru may seem unreal, but such is the dominant idea of duty and sacrifice among the Japanese, that in certain emergencies it is not at all unlikely that we should behold her real prototype in life. The description of the Imperial Review at Tokyo and its patriotic significance vividly recalls one's own impression of this spectacle. In the chapters of this novel the author seems always to have had such high ideals before her, and the result is that, besides being an exciting and agreeable reading, the book contains elements of serious and instructive consideration, which can not but contribute toward establishing better and healthier knowledge between the East and West of the Pacific. Excerpt: "All that Japanese April day she had been in a state of tremulous excitement. She had crept from her berth at dawn to see the hazy sun come up in a Rosicrucian flush as weirdly soft as a mirage, to strain her eyes for the first filmy feather of land. Long before the gray-green wisp showed on the horizon, the sight of a lumbering junk with its square sail laced across with white stripes, and its bronze seamen, with white loin-cloth and sweat-band about the forehead, naked and thewed like sculptures, as they swayed from the clumsy tiller, had sent a thrill through her. And as the first far peaks etched themselves on the robin's-egg blue, as impalpable and ethereal as a perfume, she felt warm drops coming with a rush to her eyes."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Turn of the Sword The high and sacred sun beat down upon the fields and streams of old Japan. The banners of the house of the Red River blazed in the breeze; scantily clad servants filled the palace yard with color and noise; kites and flags and lanterns danced on their strings. In the royal gardens they were putting the finishing touches on the pavilions, with the hurried sound of hammering and chopping, the rustle of rich textures, the ring of metals and china, and the low murmurs of the artisans. Out in the countryside, where the temple bells tinkled in the cedar groves and the willows drooped over reeded pools, there was great bustling on the narrow brown roads, and the dust flew high from the pattering of bare feet. Through the dust the sun flashed on purple, red, and yellow silk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Sword at Sunset by : Rosemary Sutcliff
Download or read book Sword at Sunset written by Rosemary Sutcliff and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant reconception of the Arthurian epic cuts through the familiar myths and tells the story of the real King Arthur: Artos the Bear, the mighty warrior-king who saved the last lights of Western civilization when the barbarian darkness descended in the fifth century. Artos here comes alive: bold and forceful in battle, warm and generous in friendship, tough in politics, shrewd in the strategy of war—and tender and tragically tormented in love. Out of the interweaving of ancient legend, fresh research, soaring imagination, and hypnotic narrative skill comes a novel that has richly earned its reputation as a classic.
