Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... comrades in Mrs. Brett's lodging-house distrusted him a little, and were disinclined to make him entirely free of their company. They discovered that he read books, and this seemed to them an assumption of a kind of superiority very difficult to tolerate. Indeed, it is impossible to understand why anyone should read a book without being obliged to do so by the fear of the questions of some inquisitive examiner. Now-a-days, when authorities, like the Irish Board of National Education, insist upon their victims reading such works as ' Robinson Crusoe ' during school hours, the youth of the country becomes, naturally, very suspicious, and the reading even of story-books is sufficient to get a bad name for the person who is so ill-advised as to do it voluntarily. Unfortunately for Benedict, his reading had become an incurable habit. More than once he stayed at home of an evening by himself, when McCracken, Dunne, and Daly had plans on foot for natural enjoyment. It was well known that he had no examination to pass, and that his future did not in any way depend on his charging his memory with 163 n_2 the foolish things which the prigs of other generations had written and got printed. The inference was obvious. Benedict must himself be something of a prig. It took him some time to overcome the prejudice aroused against him. He did so at length; but only by showing that he was quite ready to take Ms part in the delights which appealed to his friends, and by never alluding in conversation to any subject of which the writers of books might be supposed to treat. Thus his habit of reading came to be looked upon as an eccentricity, quite unintelligible, but tolerable when it became clear that it did not result in a pose of superiority, or take the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benedict Kavanagh The Church of Ireland Gazette and the United Irishman, the Northern Whig and the Irish Peasant, are miles apart from each other in policy. The writers of their reviews and articles were all of them out of sympathy with much that I wrote. But they and many others admitted frankly the prin ciple that an author should have freedom to express his opinions Private letters - many of them from people whom I do not know - convinced me still more of the respect for liberty that there is among us. Two of these correspondents pointed out to me that a small number of young men were actually enlisted in Dublin for the Boer service, and went from Dublin straight to the Transvaal that these were honourable men, not forgers like the Captain Quin in my Hyacinth, nor deserters like his follower. I knew, of course, that there was an Irish brigade in the Boer army. Of it or its leaders I wrote nothing either good or bad. I did not know that any Irish men were enlisted in Dublin, and went from Dublin to fight for the Boers. I am sincerely sorry that the description of my purely imaginary Captain Quin should have seemed to cast a slur on the character and motives of these young men.

Book excerpt: “Hart combines powerful insights into human nature and pristine prose with history and archeology in her stellar fourth crime novel” (Publishers Weekly) about an ancient volume of philosophical heresy that provides a motive for murder. After a year away from working in the field, archaeologist Cormac Maguire and pathologist Nora Gavin are back in the bogs, investigating a ninth-century body found buried in the trunk of a car. They discover that the ancient corpse is not alone—pinned beneath it is the body of Benedict Kavanagh, missing for mere months and familiar to television viewers as a philosopher who enjoyed destroying his opponents in debate. Both men were viciously murdered, but centuries apart—so how did they end up buried together in the bog? While on the case, Cormac and Nora lodge at Killowen, a nearby artists’ colony, organic farm, and sanctuary for eccentric souls. Digging deeper into the older crime, they become entangled in high-stakes intrigue encompassing Kavanagh’s death while surrounded by suspects in his ghastly murder. It seems that everyone at Killowen has some secret to protect. Set in modern-day Ireland, The Book of Killowen reveals a new twist on the power of language—and on the eternal mysteries of good and evil.
