Download or read book Murder by the Book written by Claire Harman and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2019 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the prize-winning biographer--the fascinating, little-known story of a Victorian-era murder that rocked literary London, leading Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, and Queen Victoria herself to wonder: can a novel kill? In May 1840, Lord William Russell, well known in London's highest social circles, was found with his throat cut. The brutal murder had the whole city talking. The police suspected Russell's valet, Courvoisier, but the evidence was weak. And the missing clue lay in the unlikeliest place: what Courvoisier had been reading. In the years just before the murder, new printing methods had made books cheap and abundant, the novel form was on the rise, and suddenly everyone was reading. The best-selling titles were the most sensational true-crime stories. Even Dickens and Thackeray, both at the beginning of their careers, fell under the spell of these tales--Dickens publicly admiring them, Thackeray rejecting them. One such phenomenon was William Harrison Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard, the story of an unrepentant criminal who escaped the gallows time and again. When Courvoisier finally confessed his guilt, he would cite this novel in his defense. Murder By the Book combines the thrilling true-crime story with a illuminating account of the rise of the novel form and the battle for its early soul between the most famous writers of the time. It is a superbly researched, vividly written, fascinating read from first to last"--

Njena mama, bogata dedinja ogromne prašičje farme, je do nje hladna, medtem ko se do njene mlajše pol sestre Amme vede čudaško.

Download or read book Experiencing Chopin written by Christine Lee Gengaro and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fryderyk Chopin’s career is intricately entwined with the piano. Although he made forays into orchestral and chamber work, the vast majority of Chopin’s pieces feature the piano. While his relatively brief life shortened his potential contribution as a composer, the originality, richness, and quality of his work is undeniable. His harmonies were often surprising, the rhythms flexible, and the music dramatic. In Experiencing Chopin: A Listener’s Companion,Christine Lee Gengaro surveys Chopin’s position as a composer at a time when the piano stood at the center of musical and social life. Throughout, she shines a spotlight on Chopin and his music, which illuminated the Romantic period in which he lived, the social and artistic climate that surrounded him, and the importance of the individual artist at a time of political foment. Gengaro considers the different genres among Chopin’s works, linking each to the historical, social, and biographical issues that shaped them.

Download or read book How To Remove Your Fear of Death Forever written by Marc Stewart and published by Marc Stewart. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook could remove your fear of death forever It could teach you-for the first time in your existence-how to live outrageously alive. Now Not tomorrow. But now! It is a book about life and death. How to be alive-now. And how never to die. It is, however, a completely subversive and dangerous eBook. It is difficult to read-shattering in its impact-full of strange consequences for you, your family, your job, and your “responsibilities”. Its author grew up in and was inspired by for example was inspired by the “Hippie” movement. Had he written this book five hundred years ago, he would have been burned at the stake. If, therefore, you are satisfied with your life as it is now . . . If you feel that you are alive enough now, that you gain enough satisfaction and meaning out of each day now . . . If you do not want to discuss or confront the question of death-then turn away from this page now. The rest of this letter will simply be confusing and destructive for you. Now, for those of you who remain, let us look at the universe through different eyes: This book says that Western Society has tricked you-INTO BELIEVING THAT YOU ARE A PRISIONER IN A BAG OF SKIN! This book assumes that you are a normal American man or woman. In other words, that you are a member of our modern Western society. As such, it says, you have been condemned at birth to spend your entire life in the shadow of impossible-and essentially ridiculous-definitions of yourself that say this: That you are nothing more than a walking bag of skin-filled with a mind, personality, and perhaps (though no one can prove it) a soul. Therefore, that you are born-live-struggle-suffer-build-love-and all the rest, only to die. To vanish. To disappear into the same nothingness you came from. That-if you no longer accept the old Western idea of a heaven and a hell-once you die, you are simply gone. That death is like being buried alive forever-no more friends, no more sunlight, or birdsong, no more love or laughter. Only darkness without end. All that all humans live and die in this terrible loneliness. Each of us is irrevocably cut off from the other-separated and alone-with even love as only a flicker of light in aeons of darkness. Cast adrift in a hostile universe-which itself will probably end in eternal darkness. This, then, is the modern Western view. And, again, this eBook says it is ridiculous. Let us turn it upside down. Let us see how the universe looks through the other end of the telescope. This book gives you a new you. It takes away your bag of skin, and gives you both your conscious and unconscious in synchronistic equilibrium.
