Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Isabel One privilege to know intimately the source and inspiration of this beautiful book makes bold to assert that the family life of a man is his true life, where he is found at his best, though sometimes, alas, at his worst! It was in the far back days that I was first privileged to obtain a glimpse of a family life more beautiful and sacred than most. One day in a grey old family house on the North side of Edinburgh I saw for the first time a solemn, round-faced sturdy child with large, wistful, grey eyes and an aureole of red-gold hair. The occasion was a meeting between her and another imp of mischief bearing my name, the result a broken doll, passion, tears, ultimate forgiveness, but little enthusiasm.

Their order has had to be rearranged, so as to put them more into sequence with the events with which they deal. I gratefully acknowledge the permission accorded to me by Lord Pentland to quote from the little bundle of letters written to me by Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man. While I was searching about for a suitable print of the Parliament House of Edinburgh, my dear and distinguished colleague Lord Dunedin - who is an expert in so much, including photography - delightfully relieved the difficulty by taking, for me and for the book, the charming picture which recalls the scene of so many of our labours.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lady and Her Letters So much of character and breeding is inevitably revealed in letters, that too great pains cannot be taken that the revelation be not discreditable and damaging. Most of the counsels that apply to the spoken word of virtuous and well-bred people, apply with even greater force to the written word. For the spoken word may be half-heard, or forgotten but the written word remains; and may come back in the most unexpected time and manner, either to the praise or the confusion of the writer.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions—now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.” In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

You will hardly meet a more eligible parli; I hear he is very fast; they say he gave Betty Milbanke, the snake dancer at the Palace, all the diamonds she wears. If he is anything like his father was, he must be both good - looking and fascinating. The late Marquis was the handsomest man save one that I have ever seen, and could have married any of the Duchess of Rougemont's daughters if he had been a valet instead of a marquis, and the Duchess was the proudest woman in England. The girl who gets this Valmond will. Not only be lucky but clever; the way to attract him is to snub him; the fools that have hitherto angled for him have always put cake on their hooks; but, if I were fishing in the water in which My Lord Valmond disported himself, I.

Download or read book The Romance of Isabel Lady Burton written by Isabel Burton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Isabel, Lady Burton: The Story of Her Life She was a voluminous writer, and she left behind her such a mass of letters and manuscripts that the sorting of them alone was a formidable task. The difficulty has been to keep the book within limits. In the second place, Lady Burton has written the Life of her husband; and though in that book she studiously avoided putting herself forward, and gave to him all the honour and the glory, her life was so absolutely bound up with his, that of necessity she covered some of the ground which I have had to go over again, though not from the same point of view. So much has been written concerning Sir Richard Burton that it is not necessary for me to tell again the story of his life here, and I have therefore been able to write wholly of his wife, an equally congenial task. Lady Burton was as remarkable as a woman as her husband was as a man. Her personality was as picturesque, her individuality as unique, and, allowing for her sex, her life was as full and varied as his.

She is absurdly rouged and belladonna-ed, has champagne hair done very high over cushions, and wears enormous ear-rings, white silk stockings and high-heeled slippers, and a very slight costume. Mr. Sedgwick assures me she consumes large quanti ties Of champagne whenever it goes, and it goes very Often, as you get here for two dollars what you pay eight dollars for in New York. The last two evenings I have sat out on the deck near enough to a group of excellent singers to be able to sing with them unperceived. One evening a man came along and sat with me, in the pitch dark (no lights allowed, all windows covered), and we had a long and pleasant talk (he was a travelling man from Oklahoma), but I have no idea what he looks like and he probably does n't realize that and thinks I cut him dead next day. You see he saw me when he opened the door to let me in, but I did n't like to turn round and stare at him. A brilliant pink sunset to-night promises fair weather for to-morrow. We don't want it too fair, as submarines can't work well in rough seas. We have had one drill which consisted in putting on a life preserver and standing at a given place on the deck.
