Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Aegean Intrique If these stories should serve as an incitement to every pater-familias actual or potential to address to his children an Apologia pro Vita Sud 1914-1918, otherwise called An Account of what Daddy did in the Great War they would set, I confess, a pernicious example: the world itself could not contain the books that should be written, or, what is worse, the public would not stomach them. And so, if I venture upon a narrative of some of my doings, my justification is that my experiences have been largely peculiar to myself and not a replica of those which tens of thousands of others can recount, and my work that of a comparatively free agent rather than of one unit in a controlled and disciplined mass. For, let me avow it at once, my part in the war cannot be deemed, in the common acceptance, warlike: I have not been under fire; I have not encountered submarine or mine; I have not so much as seen an enemy in uniform and at large.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leyli: A Romance of the AEgean Sea Leyli Canto I Clime of departed glories! lo, afar I hail the welcome of embowered isles! Pale mountain'd, o'er the ocean like a star, Each from its purple mantle dimly smiles; And for a time my wearied glance beguiles; Now on the cliff the gleaming tomb behold, Far on the tide its nameless shadow piles, Its mingling tints, its long descending fold, Till shivered into foam when the blue wave hath rolled. And such thou art, a shadow of thyself, A shiver'd mem'ry of thy former days: Lo! crowns yon hill, and many a mountain shelf, The ruined temple's desolated maze - Alas, have creeds a temporary blaze? Like those who made them, eddying to their doom Beyond the eloquence of pride or praise, Or scorn? - behold, within the dusty gloom Remains but scatter'd dust, the wreckage of the tomb!

Book Synopsis Tales of Ægean Intrigue (Classic Reprint) by : John Cuthbert Lawson
Download or read book Tales of Ægean Intrigue (Classic Reprint) written by John Cuthbert Lawson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of AEgean Intrigue Yet byways too, no less than highways, may issue anon in some busy centre where the fortune of a nation is made or marred: and thus it fell to my lot too to play a conscious part in the fashioning of Greek history, and to instigate and control in some measure the first march of events which had as their logical sequel the evacuation of a throne, the victory of Doiran, and the deliverance of Asiatic Greece from the dominion of the Turk. And therein lies my second justification for this narrative. The public may remember dimly, as one small item amid the enormous happenings of these past five years, that in the late summer of 1916 the island of Crete emerged for a space into the limelight, that Venizelos was reported to have headed a revolt there against the Kaiser's dear ally, Tino, and that a Provisional Government was declared. But the public knew little more than that even at the time: there were but two accredited correspondents who accompanied Venizelos from Athens, and their accounts of the movement, whether dispatched by wire or by mail, were so mauled and mutilated by the censor, that they furnished little but material for a missing-word competition. I was the censor in question, so I know. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Letter Perfect written by David Sacks and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun, lively, and learned excursion into the alphabet—and cultural history. Letters are tangible language. Joining together in endless combinations to actually show speech, letters convey our messages and tell our stories. While we encounter these tiny shapes hundreds of times a day, we take for granted the long, fascinating history behind one of the most fundamental of human inventions: the alphabet. The heart of the book is the 26 fact-filled “biographies” of letters A through Z, each one identifying the letter’s particular significance for modern readers, tracing its development from ancient forms, and discussing its noteworthy role in literature and other media. We learn, for example, why the letter X has a sinister and sexual aura, how B came to signify second best, why the word “mother” in many languages starts with M, and what is the story of O. Packed with information and lavishly illustrated, Letter Perfect is accessible, entertaining, and essential to the appreciation of our own language.
Book Synopsis The Franks in the Aegean by : Peter Lock
Download or read book The Franks in the Aegean written by Peter Lock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the enormous literature on the crusades, the Frankish states in the Aegean (set up in the wake of the Fourth Crusade in 1204) have been seriously neglected by modern historians. Yet their history is both compelling in itself - these were the last crusader states to be set up in the eastern Mediterranean and among the last to fall to the Turks - and also valuable for the case study they offer in medieval colonialism. Peter Lock surveys the social, economic, religious and cultural aspects of the region within a broad political framework, and explores the clash of cultures between the Frankish interlopers and their Byzantine subjects. This is a major addition to crusading studies.

Download or read book A Handbook for Travellers in Greece written by John Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Greece: Describing the Ionian Islands, Continental Greece, Athens, and the Peloponnesus, the Islands of the Aegean Sea, Albania, Thessaly, and Macedonia A few explanatory words may be added with reference to the form in which Greek names will appear in the following pages. A work containing quotations from many writers, all of whom may not have adhered to an uniform method of orthography, must present some anomalies. For the most part the usually received Latin form of Greek words has been made use of, but this rule has in some instances been departed from when by rendering the Greek K by the same letter in English, instead of by C, it has been possible to retain the exact Hellenic spelling, and thereby to facilitate the pronunciation of names of localities in Greece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
