He made a good fight, though Lived with her better than three years, and then, all at once, he died. Dr. Mindererus do say it were apoplexy, or sunstroke, or compression on the brain but I tell you it was Auntie on the brain. She was fond of him, but for all that she killed him.

Download or read book So As I Was Saying written by Frank Mankiewicz and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I first met Robert Kennedy because I spoke Spanish. I spoke Spanish because the U.S. Army taught me that before sending me to France, Belgium, and Germany to fight Hitler’s Army. This makes complete sense if you are familiar with military bureaucracy.” Such is the trademark wit of Frank Mankiewicz. With his dry sense of humor and self-deprecating humility—despite his many accomplishments—Frank’s voice speaks from the pages of So as I was Saying... in a way that is both conversational and profound. Before he died in 2014 Frank’s fascinating life took him from Beverly Hills to the battlefields of Europe; from the halls of power in Washington D.C. to the far corners of the world. A lifelong student of humanity and mentor to many, including presidents, Frank was a loving father, husband, and friend, and his legacy is will endure for generations. Born into Hollywood royalty but determined to make his own way, Frank served in World War Two, wrote speeches for Robert Kennedy, ran a presidential campaign, carried messages to Fidel Castro, served as president of National Public Radio (helping create Morning Edition), and as regional director for the Peace Corps. Naturally such a long and interesting life gave rise to a myriad of opinions, and Frank was not afraid to share them. In this intriguing, insightful, and often humorous memoir, Frank recalls his favorite memories while sharing his opinions on everything from Zionism to smartphones. Imbued with the personality of one of the twentieth century’s most gifted raconteurs, So As I Was Saying... invokes nostalgia for the past even as it gives hope for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of My Life: 1847-1856 Other reviewers take the same side. For example, the Dean of Salisbury in the Churchinan magazine: 'the admirable English for which Bishop Words worth is so remarkable may claim a place for this volume near the graphic narratives of Hume, Gibbon, &c.' The Banner Bishop Wordsworth's book is full of interesting anecdotes, told in fluent and elegant English.' Also a well-known writer in the Aberdeen Free Press Before turning to the substance of the Annals, we must express our admiration of the style in which they are written. The lover of good English prose will find delight in the Bishop's flowing and rhythmical periods, which seem to have been composed under the inspiration of Coleridge's famous protest (friend, i. I can never so far sacrifice my judgment to the desire of being immediately popular as to cast my sentences in the French mould, or affect a style which an antient critic would have deemed purposely invented for persons troubled with asthma to read, and for those to comprehend who labour under the more pitiable asthma of a short-witted intellect.

Download or read book Annals of the Former World written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction. Annals of the Former World is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.

Lyndsay, who observed the embarrassment of the family party assembled in the cabin, received them with a frank courtesy, which soon restored confidence, and set them at their ease; though it was difficult to refrain from a smile at the scared look they cast at each other when Mrs. Lyndsay took her seat among them; and the dead silence which fell upon them.

Samuel rogers. E have in the previous volume traced the family his tory from the middle Of the fourteenth century to the middle Of the nineteenth. The latter was a most interesting period in our national life, one Of which much has been written, and one which will always be prominent in American history, but in the present volume our thoughts center more about the family annals than the National history, our theme is more especially the family life Of that epoch, and though the Civil War will in some measure enter into our narrative, it is not our primary interest in these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Sailor Life: As Exemplified in Fifteen Years' Experience, Including the More Thrilling Events of the U. S. Exploring Expedition, and Reminiscences of an Eventful Life on the "Mountain Wave;" The Journal of the Exploring Expedition, publish ed by the government, being a very expensive work, places its very important and interesting matter be yond the means Of the working classes, and the scenes and sketches which I have penned from my journal of that cruise, will be read with interest and profit by such as shall peruse these pages, as they will deline ate the manners and customs Of different portions of the world, of whose inhabitants little has been writ ten. The description of scenery and life on the ocean wave, has been truthfully penned, and the author can, with all confidence, appeal to the experience Of every sailor for its confirmation. In the recital of the events in which he was personally engaged, any thing like exaggeration has been carefully avoided; the facts connected with the death Of the generous Un derwood and Henry, were too deeply engraven on his body as well as his mind to be easily forgotten, and in a way that renders exaggeration wholly unnecessary. Any remark that he may make upon the officers Of the different vessels, he has given only his own personal opinions, free from prejudice, or color Of any kind, save truth.
