Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World's Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master Productions From the time when men first created literature, they began, and they have continued ever since, the collection and preservation of its records. Before the days of writing even, and when literature existed only in the most primitive forms of verse and prose, - in ballads and liturgic chants on the one hand, and in apologues, fables, and folk-tales on the other, - each generation transmitted to the next these simple efforts of untaught genius, and they transmitted them through those who memorized them and in turn taught them to their successors. It was in this way that some of the greatest epics of the world have been preserved to us; and it is evidence of the high esteem in which collected literature was held even in the days when civilization was only dawning, that the persons of these reciters and transmitters of verse and prose were almost universally held to be sacred. After writing had been invented, but before printing was known, and in the days when the permanent preservation of literary material was possible only by inscribing it upon stone and brick, extraordinary care was taken to secure its permanency. Modern excavations on the sites of oriental cities in Assyria and Babylonia have brought to light whole libraries of books inscribed and burnt into bricks, or carved upon the imperishable rock. Still later, the same spirit was evinced in the formation of those famous libraries at Alexandria, and Pergamus, and Rome, wherein was stored, and catalogued, and classified, what was memorable in the recorded thought of classical antiquity.

Download or read book A Library of the World s Best Literature Ancient and Modern Vol XLIII Forty Five Volumes Dictionary of Authors K Z written by Charles Dudley Warner and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Volume 43 is Part Two of a dictionary of authors-from Hans Vilhelm Kaalund to Ulrich Zwingli-that serves as a handy, condensed reference to the authors quoted in the first 40 volumes, as well as a guide to thousands more authors whose works are notable but not featured in this set.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World's Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 19: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master Productions The origin of superstition above given affords us a clear reason for the fact that it comes to all men naturally, though some refer its rise to a dim notion of God, universal to man kind, and also tends to Show that it is no less inconsistent and variable than other mental hallucinations and emotional impulses, and further that it can only be maintained by hope, hatred, anger, and deceit Since it springs not from reason, but solely from the more powerful phases of emotion. Furthermore, we may readily understand how difficult it is to maintain in the same course men prone to every form of credulity. For as the mass of man kind remains always at about the same pitch of misery, it never assents long to any one remedy, but is always best pleased by a novelty which has not yet proved illusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World's Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 9: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master Productions Francois de Salignac De La Mothe Fenelon, a French prelate and religious writer, born at Perigord, Dordogne, Aug. 6, 1651; died at Cambrai, Jan. 7, 1715. At the age of twelve he entered the University of Cahors, and finished his philosophical studies in the College du Plessis, at Paris. He then gave himself to work as a preacher and catechist in the parish of St. Sulpice, until his appointment as Superior of the Nouvelles Catholiques. He wrote a treatise "On the Education of Girls," which became an elementary work of high repute among the upper classes of France. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, Fenelon was appointed head of a mission among the Protestants of Poitou and Saintonge. On his return to Paris, he was appointed preceptor of the King's grandsons, the Duke of Burgundy, the heir-apparent to the crown, and the Dukes of Anjou and Berry. For the use of the princes Fenelon wrote his "Fables." the "Dialogues of the Dead," "Directions for the Conscience of a King," "Abridgment of the Lives of Ancient Philosophers," and the "Adventures of Telemachus," embodying the principles which he made the groundwork of his royal pupils' education. In 1694, the abbacy of St. Valery was given him. In the following year Louis XIV. raised Fenelon to the Archbishopric of Cambrai. Fenelon was not long to enjoy the royal favor. He had some years before become acquainted with Madame Guyon, was strongly attracted by the doctrine of "Quietism," became involved in the controversy which ensued, and at length wrote the "Explication des Maximes des Saints sur la Vie Interieur." The French prelates, notable among whom was Bossuet, took strong ground against the "Maximes." Fenelon was deprived of his place as preceptor in the royal family, and was ordered to retire to his See of Cambrai. Just about this time was printed his "Adventures of Telemachus," which he had written many years before for the amusement and instruction of his royal pupils. Louis conceived the work to be a satire upon himself and his Court, and ordered every copy to be destroyed; and Fenelon was ordered to confine himself strictly to his own diocese.

Indeed, what with going backward and forward between the artist's studio and the museum, the museum and the artist's studio, the picture knew its way SO well that, had it been put on castors, it could easily have made its way to the Louvre: Marcel, who had ten times altered and retouched this canvas from top to bottom, attributed to personal enmity on the part of the members Of the jury the ostracism which annually turned it away from the Salon Carr ; and in abandoned moments he had composed, in honor of the Cerberus of the Academy, a little dictionary of abusive terms, adorned with ferociously bitter illustrations.
