Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americans All: Stories of American Life of to-Day In the years before the war, when we had more time for light pursuits, a favorite sport of reviewers was to hunt for the Great American Novel. They gave tongue here and there, and pursued the quarry with great excitement in various dirce tions, now north, now south, now west, and the inevitable disappointment at the end of the chase never deterred them from starting off on a fresh scent next day. But in spite of all the frenzied pursuit, the game sought, the Great American Novel, was never captured. Will it ever be captured? The thing they sought was a book that would be so broad, so typical, so true that it would stand as the adequate expres sion in fiction of American life. Did these tireless hunters ever stop to ask themselves, what is the Great French Novel? What is the Great English Novel? And if neither of these nations has produced a single book which embodies their national life, why should we expect that our life, so much more diverse in its elements, so multifarious in its aspects, could ever be summed up within the covers of a single book?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Americans Happily his conception of what distinction and dignity included for a man like himself took in a great deal; nearly everything, in fact, except tolerance and a sense of humour. He had been gifted with a robust frame which he had been at pains to break to manly accomplishments: he could ride and shoot, fence, box, wrestle, and swim with proficiency; he openly despised any man not a consumptive who could not; and these consumptive he despised, instinctively, in secret. He had inherited a strong, dull intelligence in which he never found anything which he had not first put there; but from his childhood good masters had been offered him; he had spent a certain number of hours every day in adding to the stock of notions they had given him, and it was not his habit to forget what he had once learned. Neither was it his habit to unlearn anything: what had once obtained lodgment in his head formed an insuperable obstacle to the passage of everything not consistent with it; and the considerable library he had collected at Estcourt served mainly to dress out his preconceptions in the foppery of scholarship. He had been a young buck in his day, looking at himself seriously in the glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions—now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.” In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Principles There never was a time in our nation's history when the loyal citizen was called upon to accord a more candid consider ation to the great and perplexing public problems confronting him than the present. On every side great and overwhelming questions of State obtrude themselves upon his attention, and demand the sanest and most prompt solution. The nation needs the willing service of every citizen, high and low, great and small, of whatever national or racial descent, to assist it in meeting the demands of the crisis now before it. It is in the hope of aiding in some small measure in this great work that this little volume has been written. The author, therefore, appeals to the reader on behalf of a careful perusal of the following pages, in order that, while eliminating any error he may detect, he may use his best efforts to secure the application of the true principles in the nation's daily life. Our country needs a renewal of its baptism in the sacred principles of our Constitution. It must reconsecrate itself to the precepts of the Fathers. It is thus obligatory upon every worthy citizen to perform the part of a true American. There is no place today in our country for indifference or disloyalty. Though some of the suggestions herein submitted may be considered by some as Utopian and impracticable, the author consoles himself with the reflection that every logical conception of man will eventually find a practical expression in his daily life, and yield its fruits in the times to come.

"There is scarcely a man whose name is connected with the early colonization of North America that is not noble and memorable. There was the brilliant and unhappy Raleigh. There was Captain John Smith, a man with the soul of a Crusader. There was William Penn, ever acting in the spirit of his own conviction that the weak, the just, the pious, the devout are all of one religion. There was Bradford, the stern governor. There was Oglethorpe, with 'his strong benevolence of soul.' There was the hero of the Indian Wars, Miles Standish. There was Roger Williams, the founder of Providence.

Book Synopsis The True Story of Benjamin Franklin, the American Statesman (Classic Reprint) by : Elbridge Streeter Brooks

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Benjamin Franklin, the American Statesman Statesman, philanthropist, patriot, inventor, author, printer, humorist, business-man, helper, friend, the lover of children, of humanity and the world - all these was Benjamin Franklin, most remarkable of Americans. As one who had a hand in shaping the destinies and securing the independence of his native land, by word and pen, by brain and hand, it is most fitting that the story of his life should be re-told for young Americans in this series of Children's Lives of Great Men, in which Washington and Lincoln, Columbus and Grant have place. Benjamin Franklin belongs to the world; but especially does he belong to America. As the nations honored him while living, so the republic glorifies him when dead, and enshrines him in the choicest of its niches - the one which is regarded as the loftiest - the hearts of the common people. Among the learned men of the world none is more famous than he; among the patriots of the world none holds a higher place; among Americans none is worthier remembrance, veneration, or imitation. For the boys and girls of America I have tried to tell once more Franklin's remarkable story; hoping that, as they read anew of his struggles, his successes, and his greatness, they may find, perhaps, new things to honor and new traits to emulate in that shrewd, kindly, big-brained, great-hearted, noble old man, of whom the French poet said: - "He snatched the thunderbolt from heaven and the sceptre from tyrants."
