Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Common Enemy The Campion family were all at home that evening waiting for the Alert signal. The two boys, home from the holidays, were playing chess with an effect of deep absorption, partly due to the desire to avoid their father's attention. He was a very much better player than either of them, and although when he came and overlooked their game he maintained a scrupulous silence, they became uncomfortable and self-conscious when he watched them, afraid that they might be missing all sorts of chances that he alone could see, and was longing to point out to them. He had a way of audibly catching his breath when he saw them commit What from his point of view was a ghastly bloomer of some kind. Arthur, who was nearly eighteen, was more sensitive to this silent criticism than his younger brother, Nick. Arthur was a hard-working and quite an able boy, but he liked to do things in his own way. He was naturally conservative in his tastes and methods, and had a great respect for tradition. Nick was of a very different habit, too versatile according to his school reports, quick to take up what seemed to him interesting sug gestions, no matter from What source they came. He was already a better chess-player than his brother, but lost many games to him through a search for the brilliant combination, in the course of which he was liable to lose a piece without sufficient compensation in position, and be Worn down by Arthur's steady safety play.

Download or read book Fear of Enemies and Collective Action written by Ioannis D. Evrigenis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes individuals with divergent and often conflicting interests join together and act in unison? By drawing on the fear of external threats, this book develops a theory of 'negative association' that examines the dynamics captured by the maxim 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. It then traces its role from Greek and Roman political thought, through Machiavelli and the reason of state thinkers, and Hobbes and his emulators and critics, to the realists of the twentieth century. By focusing on the role of fear and enmity in the formation of individual and group identity, this book reveals an important tradition in the history of political thought and offers insights into texts that are considered familiar. This book demonstrates that the fear of external threats is an essential element of the formation and preservation of political groups and that its absence renders political association unsustainable.

He murmured his thanks, and made way for others of the company who were beginning to enter the room in twos and threes. But he did not move far away placing himself in the angle of a recess opposite the doorway, he began once more to watch patiently, scanning every group of guests as they came in. Since he had been almost the first in the room, it seemed impossible that he should miss the person for whom he was waiting; but when the stream. Of incomers had apparently ceased, and Lady Glamorgan found time to leave the door and look at the dancing, her eye fell upon him at once, still on guard in his solitary corner.

In addition to the other obstacles to dis tinct vision, the panes were so mottled with rain and dust that it required good eyes to perceive the articles they almost concealed rather than allowed to be seen. Still, the earnest and loving and appreciative seeker for knowledge by dint of patient observation could discover objects more precious in his eyes than the bronzes, Sevres china, or manifold house furnishing articles so conspicuously exhibited behind plate glass in the palace-like shops of the vicinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Enemy's Daughter: A Novel I was growing a sort of little celebrity in our small town because of my voice and my sup posed musical genius. I mean that I was get ting to be known among all that small middle class whose highest reach toward society was the patronage of the clergyman's wife or the attorney and his family. Our town was divid ed morally, and indeed one might say geograph ically, into three sections. There were the townspeople - ourselves - who lived in the streets on what I may call the middle terrace of the ascent on which chance had placed us. We were all traders, shop-keepers, clerks, mas ter carpenters, a few engineers, two or three teachers of French and music, a good many principals of small English schools, a good many civil servants of the unpretending class. Beneath us stretched, reaching to the water's edge, and straggling away rather toward the rising sun, a lower plateau of population, con sisting of public house keepers, rope - makers, block-makers, fishermen, sailors, and nonde script poor people of all kinds - poor people avowing and indeed going in for pauperism. Above us, and stretching away westward, were the villas and mansions of the gentry, the swells who only came into the town to buy at the shops, or to reach the sea. Of these it is enough to say - for this story has little to do with the aristocracy of the earth - thata noble man who owned nearly all the country round and half the town was the apex of the pyra mid, and the base was formed by the fashion able doctor of our district, the attorney in whose office I worked, two or three clergy men, the collectors of customs and excise, and a few retired naval oflicers. Now these three sections were each a world to'itself. Nobody on the higher plateau knew any thing about us except as people who made things or had things to sell; we knew little of the lower plateau ex cept in an equally general sort of way. There fore when I say that I was becoming a sort of small celebrity, I mean of course only in my own middle sphere. The gentlemen and'la dies above knew and cared just as much about me and my like as the tarry lads of the lower town did, or indeed as the crabs and star-fish on the beach might have done. If any grand personage or grand personage's wife had been attracted by my singing at church some day, and had been good enough to ask the clergy man who the singer was, the answer wonc have been, Only a young man from the town, and that would have settled the matter. That was enough to know; that was all any body could want to know. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
