Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marmaduke Herbert, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, the Fatal Error, a Novel Founded on Fact My husband entered unexpectedly at that moment, and I felt, and I fear looked like, a criminal detected in some crime. He betrayed evident symptoms of displeasure when the doctor stated that be had been recommending change of air for me. Remarked that he had not been made aware that I was unwell, and, in short, behaved so differently to his usual kind manner towards me, that I fear the doctor went away thinking him harsh and stem, if not indifferent about my health. I would not for worlds that he should be misjudged, and I was greatly pained that he should appear, whati know he is not - unkind. How continually do I find it necessary to remember past and present kindness, to prevent my giving way to the regret occasioned by the change in my husband's manner, from passionate love to a kindness, meant to atone for its cessation.

Excerpt: ... a heart of stone to think that while ye are all dressed out so line, and living in clover here, the poor girl that ye don't as much as wear a black rag for, is lying on a barn floor, and may be at this minute receiving as bad usage from the rats, as she got from the fishes." My mother-in-law, overpowered with horror, fell fainting on the sofa, while my poor Louisa was seized with a violent lit of hysterics. I rushed on the wretch, and would have felled him to the earth, but our pastor ran between us, and pulling him by the arm out of the room, while pointing, to the two unhappy women who required my care, told me not to leave them. And this was my wedding-day, that day so longed for, that was to have been the happiest one of my life L Never was there a house in which grief, dismay, and horror reigned more triumphantly than in mine. On whichever side I looked, faces bathed in tears met my sight, and hysterical sobs and groans, my ear. I was almost maddened, yet in the midst of my despair the consciousness that all this wretchedness had been the result of my folly, my sinr added poignancy to my tortures. Had I not concealed the corpse, it would have long, long since been discovered -- would have received the rites of the church--would have been interred in consecrated ground-- the grave might have been wept over by those who had doted on its tenant, and time, that sole healer of grief, would have, by this hour, softened down the agony, to the effects of which 1 was now a witness, to a tender, pensive recollection of one never to be forgotten. When restored to consciousness, the first words uttered by my wife and mother expressed their intention of immediately setting out for Pendine, to pay the last mournful duties to the dead.

Download or read book Marmaduke Pickthall written by Peter Clark and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marmaduke William Pickthall, born in 1875 London to Mary O'Brien and the Reverend Charles Grayson Pickthall, is remembered-if he is remembered at all-as a translator of the Qur'an. The fact that a practicing English Christian would convert to Islam and become a renowned translator of the holiest of Muslim texts during years of volatile relations between Britain and the Ottoman Empire is itself exceptional. Yet Pickthall was much more than an historical oddity or gifted translator: he was a novelist, journalist, political and religious leader, and an often confusing mix of allegiances and beliefs. Marmaduke Pickthall: British Muslim is an examination of his ideas and writings. For twenty years of Pickthall's adult life, he was a devout Christian, and for the last twenty years he was a devout Muslim. Peter Clark's book raises issues of Muslim and national identity. Pickthall wrote much about Islam which he saw as an open, tolerant and progressive religion. A reissue of the book is a timely and authoritative contribution to current debates.
Download or read book Cybernetic Revolutionaries written by Eden Medina and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship between technology and politics. Drawing on extensive archival material and interviews, Medina examines the cybernetic system envisioned by the Chilean government—which was to feature holistic system design, decentralized management, human-computer interaction, a national telex network, near real-time control of the growing industrial sector, and modeling the behavior of dynamic systems. She also describes, and documents with photographs, the network's Star Trek-like operations room, which featured swivel chairs with armrest control panels, a wall of screens displaying data, and flashing red lights to indicate economic emergencies. Studying project Cybersyn today helps us understand not only the technological ambitions of a government in the midst of political change but also the limitations of the Chilean revolution. This history further shows how human attempts to combine the political and the technological with the goal of creating a more just society can open new technological, intellectual, and political possibilities. Technologies, Medina writes, are historical texts; when we read them we are reading history.
