Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light and Shade in War The authors of this book, father and son, have seen much of the Light and Shade of War during the past two years, the one as a War Correspondent in Egypt, Turkey and France, the other as a soldier, and, afterwards, as one of the staff of The Times. The day for writing the histories of our different campaigns is not yet. For the purposes of history delay is necessary, even though the gain in perspective may mean loss in colour. But there is a legitimate desire for the intimate and immediate impressions of the time, written down amid the ever-shifting scenes of the War itself. Such impressions will have some value now, and perhaps also in after years. Most of these sketches were written whilst the scenes and incidents they depict were fresh in the mind; some under fire. The proofs were corrected on the battlefield of the Somme in a tent over which British and German shells were passing at the time.

Download or read book A Shadow of War written by Claudia Theune and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents archaeological research from places of war, violence, protest and oppression of the 20th and the 21st century; sites where the material relics give a deep insight to fateful events - a shadow of war. Alongside renewed interest in National Socialism and the Holocaust, archaeological interest started in former concentration camps of the Nazi dictatorship. The focus was on the central places of the camps, such as the gas chambers, the crematoria, or execution sites, as well as prisoners' barracks and the parade ground. In many cases, these sites revealed forgotten and vanished structures, where archaeological excavations can offer the possibility for commemorating the victims. The research has since widened and includes other sites of Nazi dictatorship and the Second World War, as well as the First World War, the Cold War and locations of civil wars and civilian protest against state authorities and against companies and corporations in many parts of the world. In order to come to a comprehensive understanding contemporary archaeology must take a global perspective. Archaeological finds often shed light on daily life, revealing survival conditions in the internment camps; the lives of people and their fighting and dying on battlefields and in trenches. Likewise, the relics of politically active people in protest camps give an impression of their commitment in civilian protest. Sometimes material remains can help to tell an alternative or balancing narrative to the state's official recorded history. The enormous volume and diverse range of material culture presents challenges and opportunities. Through careful archaeological investigation, we can present different and new perspectives that are not recorded clearly in existing written, pictorial or oral archives. The merging and examination of all sources together is what enables us to understand the complexity of the history. This book will also present future directions in contemporary archaeology that will help bring the study focus beyond sites and assemblages of war and protest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories in Light and Shadow The American consul for Schlachtstadt had just turned out of the broad Konig's Allee into the little square that held his consulate. Its residences always seemed to him to wear that singularly uninhabited air peculiar to a street scene in a theatre. The facades, with their stiff, striped wooden awnings over the windows, were of the regularity, color, and pattern only seen on the stage, and conversation carried on in the street below always seemed to be invested with that perfect confidence and security which surrounds the actor in his painted desert of urban perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Eax and Mamelon: Or the South Without the Shadow The shadow was over all - the shadow of Slavery and of its children, Ignorance and War and Poverty. In the Shadow Iwrote, contrast ing it with the light. It came to me then, almost as a revelation, that the North and the South were two families in one house - two peoples under one government; each believing that it thoroughly understood the other, and - resting in that belief - becoming hourly more and more estranged. SO I wrote, until the pages grew into volumes, and the thoughts which were once my own the impalpable companions Of my day-life and dream-life - entered into other hearts, and be came the common property Of mankind. I meet them here and there, and recognize them in strange new garbs. They masquerade before me in others' lives and words, and I sometimes smile at the antics Of the winged truants whom I would not recall even if I could. I do not judge them, I cannot. I believe they have made some lives better andnone worse, and with that I am con tent. But there were rifts in the shadow, some Of which I tried to paint. These stories are two Of them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ray of Light The shades of evening are falling on the pretty little village of Wetherley, gradually enveloping in a soft, shadowy mist the distant landscape, and causing the old ivy-crowned church-tower to look larger and darker in the fading light, and the forge-fire to seem brighter and blaze higher; and so stealthfly the light fades, that one can scarcely see how every moment steals a ray away and leads the darkness on.

Download or read book Bright Skies and Dark Shadows Classic Reprint written by Henry M. Field and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bright Skies and Dark Shadows Migration to the South at the approach of Winter, has become almost as regular as the migration of birds. A journey that is so familiar needs little in the way of description; and if I linger here and there, or turn to some out-of-the-way place like Jupiter Inlet, it is not to magnify slight accessories, but to prepare a larger canvas for a principal figure, as these tropical surroundings furnish a background, the more effective by contrast, for the dark subject of my story. It is under these "bright skies" that the "shadows" creep on the scene. Out of the palms and the orange groves starts up a spectre, the ghost of something gone, that, though dead and buried, sleeps in an unquiet grave, and comes forth at midnight to haunt us in our dreams. The Race Problem is the gravest that ever touched a nation's life. The subject at once fascinates and repels by its tremendous import, its difficulty and its danger. I have been so oppressed by it that I could not keep from speaking, even if it were only to ask questions. That is the way to get light, by groping after it. Confession of ignorance is the first step towards knowledge. To one in perplexity of mind on a difficult question, it is a help to talk it over in a friendly way: to exchange suggestions with those who give as well as receive. Ideas which were extremely vague, crystallize in expression, and are useful if only to draw forth something better from others.
