Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purchase one of 1st World Library's Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - If there had been no real heroes there would have been created imaginary ones, for men cannot live without them. The hero is just as necessary as the farmer, the sailor, the carpenter and the doctor; society could not get on without him. There have been a great many different kinds of heroes, for in every age and among every people the hero has stood for the qualities that were most admired and sought after by the bravest and best; and all ages and peoples have imagined or produced heroes as inevitably as they have made ploughs for turning the soil or ships for getting through the water or weapons with which to fight their enemies. To be some kind of a hero has been the ambition of spirited boys from the beginning of history; and if you want to know what the men and women of a country care for most, you must study their heroes. To the boy the hero stands for the highest success: to the grown man and woman he stands for the deepest and richest life.

Book Synopsis A Concise History of Switzerland by : Clive H. Church
Download or read book A Concise History of Switzerland written by Clive H. Church and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its position at the heart of Europe and its quintessentially European nature, Switzerland's history is often overlooked within the English-speaking world. This comprehensive and engaging history of Switzerland traces the historical and cultural development of this fascinating but neglected European country from the end of the Dark Ages up to the present. The authors focus on the initial Confederacy of the Middle Ages; the religious divisions which threatened it after 1500 and its surprising survival amongst Europe's monarchies; the turmoil following the French Revolution and conquest, which continued until the Federal Constitution of 1848; the testing of the Swiss nation through the late nineteenth century and then two World Wars and the Depression of the 1930s; and the unparalleled economic and social growth and political success of the post-war era. The book concludes with a discussion of the contemporary challenges, often shared with neighbours, that shape the country today.

Book Synopsis Stories of William Tell and His Friends by : H. Marshall
Download or read book Stories of William Tell and His Friends written by H. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of William Tell takes on new meaning in this wonderful retelling by master storyteller H. E. Marshall. William Tell is the folk hero of Switzerland whose exploits were first recorded in a fifteenth-century Swiss chronicle.Set in the time of the first Swiss Confederacy, Tell's story runs alongside that of the struggle for independence waged against the Holy Roman Empire by the Alpine nation.According to the legend, Gessler, a newly-appointed Austrian ruler of two local regions, caused his hat to be placed on a raised a pole in the central square of a village, and ordered that all the townsfolk bow before it. When Tell refused to bow to the hat, Gessler ordered Tell's son to be seized. The tyrannical ruler then demanded that Tell shoot an apple off his son's head or both of them would be executed. Tell took the shot, and succeeded... From there, numerous incidents took place which led to the assassination of Gessler, an act that sparked the Swiss rebellion. There is no real evidence that William Tell actually existed or that the events recounted in the legend really took place. Marshall addresses it this way in her introduction:"Yet some people say that William Tell never lived. Let them visit the R�tli, Tell's Platte, the Hollow Way, and let them ask themselves whether Tell lives in the hearts of his countrymen or not."ContentsChapter I: How Gessler and Landenberg Came to Rule in SwitzerlandChapter II: The Story of Arnold of MelchthalChapter III: The Story of Gessler and StauffacherChapter IV: How the Cap of Austria Was Set UpChapter V: The Meeting of the Three PatriotsChapter VI: The Gathering on the R�tliChapter VII: William Tell and His Great ShotChapter VIII: The Escape of William TellChapter IX: Tell's Second ShotChapter X: How Castle Rossberg Was TakenChapter XI: How Castle Sarnen Was TakenChapter XII: How the Emperor Albrecht Met His DeathChapter XIII: The Battle of Morgarten
