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?

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.

Never were six months longer, as man's mind measures time by its events, and never before in the history of the world have a thousand millions of men waited so eagerly for news from hour to hour. And life around us has changed in those six months, and we have all changed, and we see the world with new eyes. Even the war itself means to us today something different. How it came about - the question today seems stale and forgotten! How it can come to an end - that is the problem which overshadows all our thoughts and feelings! Six months have made us all sympathizers and sufferers and mourners: we pray for delivery, we long for peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Americans This is emphatically not a war book; and yet the chapters that follow, in one sense, are the fruits of the war, inasmuch as they represent reflections upon his own people by one returning to a familiar environment after active contact with English, Scottish, Irish, and French in the turbulent, intimate days of 1918. They are complementary, in a way, to a volume of essays which sprang from that experience and was published in 1919 under the title "Education by Violence." But though representing in its inception the fresher view of familiar America of one returning from abroad, this book in its completed form is tendered as a modest attempt to depict an American type that was sharpened perhaps, but certainly not created by the war.

Download or read book Sketches of America and Americans Classic Reprint written by George Ives Haight and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of America and Americans There is no country whose story is more interesting than that of our own United States. To the student of history, America offers a most fertile field. Our annals ought to appeal deeply to all of our citizens. From a wider popular acquaintance with our past will come a better understanding of our institutions, a clearer idea of the rights and privileges of Americans and their foundation, a wider appreciation of the cost of the citizenship we enjoy, and a deeper conception of our duties in cherishing and preserving our inheritance. In the American narratives, thousands of men and women appear who were leaders in great accomplishments. Some were partly or wholly appreciated by their contemporaries; many were not generally known or understood. Among all of these are multitudes of heroes. In a country's heroes can be found the measure of that country's ideals. More than this, by a knowledge of heroes ideals can be created and stimulated. To arouse, though only in small measure, an interest in the heroic and vital of America, these short essays are written. Their fields are very small. None is complete, either as biography or history. All relate to subjects and events that are widely known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Scene Classic Reprint written by Henry James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Scene The following pages duly explain themselves, I judge, as to the Author's point of view and his relation to his subject; but I prefix this word on the chance of any suspected or perceived failure of such references. My visit to America had been the first possible to me for nearly a quarter of a century, and I had before my last previous one, brief and distant to memory, spent other years in continuous absence; so that I was to return with much of the freshness of eye, outward and inward, which, with the further contribution of a state of desire, is commonly held a precious agent of perception. I felt no doubt, I confess, of my great advantage on that score since if I had had time to become almost as fresh as an inquiring stranger, I had not on the other hand had enough to cease to be, or at least to feel, as acute as an initiated native. I made no scruple of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity - on the extent of ground, that is, on which I might aspire to intimate intelligence at all than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions, the sharpest appetite for explanations and the largest exposure to mistakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America, the Land We Love The record of such deeds and ideals is well worthy of a Josephus or a Herodotus. It calls for a Thucydides to narrate the heroic struggles of such a nation, a Plutarch to relate the stories of its great men, a Livy or Sallust or Tacitus to proclaim its grandeur. Here on the Western Hemi Sphere there has arisen a modern phoenix based on the noblest principles of Christian Civilization. Its ethical system is the perfected idealism of Plato and Aristotle; its laws are the realization of the legislation of Solon and Justinian. Here we find the sons and daughters of all the peoples of the earth gathered to create a new nation dedicated to the service of humanity.

Men did great things and did them well then. What sheer joy to be one of the people who dominate human events!" He had been studying and writing of one of the ruling nations of history.

Download or read book America in Ferment Classic Reprint written by Paul Leland Haworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America in Ferment A roman historian relates that in the reign of Tarquinius Superbus workmen digging the foundations for a temple to Jupiter discovered a mysterious human head which they forthwith carried before the augurs, who interpreted the omen to mean that Rome would one day be the head of the world. The anecdote is doubtless apocryphal, and yet it is certain that the Roman people early became convinced that a mighty future lay before them. Without such a conviction it is improbable that a community first composed of a few peasants and outlaws gathered upon those low hills beside the Tiber would ever have played so mighty a part in history. Conquest was the ruling passion of the Roman's life, bred into his bones and imbibed with his mother's milk. Other peoples whose deeds are remembered have likewise had a definite purpose.
