Now I shall not go hungry in the cold Winter, said he. The other Squirrel was idle. He flicked his fluffy tail, and ran up and down the trees, springing from branch to branch, stop ping to eat a nut here and an acorn there, and always amusing himself as he went.

Download or read book The Imperfectionists written by Tom Rachman and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Rome, Tom Rachman's wry, vibrant debut follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters, editors, and executives of an international English language newspaper as they struggle to keep it - and themselves - afloat. Fifty years and many changes have ensued since the paper was founded by an enigmatic millionaire, and now, amid the stained carpeting and dingy office furniture, the staff's personal dramas seem far more important than the daily headlines. Kathleen, the imperious editor in chief, is smarting from a betrayal in her open marriage; Arthur, the lazy obituary writer, is transformed by a personal tragedy; Abby, the embattled financial officer, discovers that her job cuts and her love life are intertwined in a most unexpected way. Out in the field, a veteran Paris freelancer goes to desperate lengths for his next byline, while the new Cairo stringer is mercilessly manipulated by an outrageous war correspondent with an outsize ego. And in the shadows is the isolated young publisher who pays more attention to his prized basset hound, Schopenhauer, than to the fate of his family's quirky newspaper. As the era of print news gives way to the Internet age and this imperfect crew stumbles toward an uncertain future, the paper's rich history is revealed, including the surprising truth about its founder's intentions. Spirited, moving, and highly original, The Imperfectionists will establish Tom Rachman as one of our most perceptive, assured literary talents.

Download or read book Fifty Fables Classic Reprint written by La Fontaine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Fables The universal use of La Fontaine's Fables in education, both in France and elsewhere, and the frequency of references to them in French literature, render unnecessary any apology for this book. The editor has tried to supply what he has long felt to be urgently needed, - a convenient and suitable selection of the Fables, edited in a scholarly manner with English annotation. The fifty here given, including nearly all the best known ones, and a few that are less familiar, will be as many as most classes care to read. Those who wish to devote further study to the Fables should have a complete edition, such as that of Regnier or of Clement (see Introduction, p. 12). Regnier is here followed as to text and punctuation, except that the names of animals are not capitalized, and that a few words have been modernized; -oil and -oient in verb endings are changed to -ait and -aient; other changes are indicated in the notes. The editor hereby expresses his obligation to the two editions mentioned above, as well as to the other works referred to in the Introduction; Edgren and Burnet's French-English Dictionary has been useful in suggesting English renderings. The vocabulary is intended to include every word in the text (including the Appendix, and quotations in the notes). Idiomatic phrases are to he sought in the Vocabulary, and translations are avoided in the notes. Perfect consistency has sometimes been sacrificed to convenience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-One Original Fables: With Morals and Ethical Index It is probable that Fable originated in Egypt, the land of hieroglyphics, thence domiciliated itself with the Israelites, whose figurative language it suited, and finally travelled westward by the way of Greece and Rome to us-always esteemed by the learned and comprehended by the illiterate. It was adopted and imitated by each nation as it advanced in civilization, and oftentimes with much success.
