Download or read book In the Country of Men written by Hisham Matar and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Hisham Matar's Anatomy of a Disappearance. Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman’s days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood: outings to the ruins surrounding Tripoli, games with friends played under the burning sun, exotic gifts from his father’s constant business trips abroad. But his nights have come to revolve around his mother’s increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn’t he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand—where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a portent of grave danger; where his mother frantically burns his father’s cherished books; where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day; where his best friend’s father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television. In the Country of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.

Download or read book No Country for Old Men written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road comes a "profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered" novel (The Washington Post) that returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of the famed Border Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law—in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell—can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers—in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives—McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines. No Country for Old Men is a triumph. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

Download or read book The Insane Root written by Mrs. Campbell Praed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Insane Root: A Romance of a Strange Country The flag floated limply over the grey roof and straight unlovely walls of the Embassy. There was scarcely a breath of wind in the heavy, exhausted London atmosphere - the atmosphere of a London August. Certainly it was only the first week in August and Parliament was not up, and there was a stream of smart carriages drawing up in front of the corner house of that dull, old-fashioned London square, one patch of which had been for so long a piece of Abarian territory. From the carriages tired footmen alighted, and cards were left and inquiries were made. In some cases the answers to the inquiries were brought out and repeated to beauti fully-dressed ladies, past their youth maybe - ladies whom presumably the Pacha had loved or admired. The Pacha was witty and amusing, while his position was such that women still liked to be admired, even loved, by him, though he was not very far from eighty. In other instances the inquiries were evi dently merely perfunctory - official tributes to his diplomatic status. Royal messengers came and received with a becoming expression of concern the doctors' bulletin, and minor royalties called person ally. One or two great ladies, still in London, left bouquets of flowers or scribbled on their cards mes sages of sympathy. All these were carried to the ante-chamber of the Pacha's room that he might himself be made aware of these marks of attention, upon which he laid much store. And the old man, even in his great sickness, gloated over the cards and the flowers and the royal messages of sympathy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country Cousin, Vol. 2 of 3 This, to a man whose mind was full of one woman, was unsympathetic enough to cause Lancaster to dismiss Mr. Andrews, and to stand awhile alone looking at the closely trimmed lawn, about which, in truth, only lingered the impression of Lord Medhurst's accurate individuality, and to try to picture the young girl standing like a nymph in the foreground. There was a fine copper beech, which, in all its freshness of young leaf, made a very complete setting for this picture.

Download or read book The Schools and the Nation Classic Reprint written by Georg Kerschensteiner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schools and the Nation When we compare the development of the educational system of the modern State with the development of its political, military, social, and industrial institutions, we can see at once that the former remains a long way behind. This is due not only to the tendency of nations to devote a great deal more attention to the improvement of their physical and material resources than to the cultivation of their spiritual and intellectual powers, but also to the fact that existing educational institutions are not nearly so effective as they might well be without any appreciable increase of cost. There are two defects in particular which we must deplore: (a) the failure to render the present school system an effective instrument in the cause of civic education; (b) the almost complete absence of any adequate provision for the continued training of boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18 - for that part of the population which earns its daily bread through the practical work of commerce, handwork, industry, or agriculture.
