Some internal spring Of scepticism breaks out within him from time to time and sends waves that submerge for a while all his most cherished beliefs, his beliefs in other men, in himself and in the eternal meaning Of things. But the flood always recedes and the convictions emerge once more, unchanged, perhaps a little blurred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations written by Charles Dickens and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations are two most beloved novels by Charles Dickens. Tale of Two Cities is is a novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The main characters — Doctor Alexandre Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton — are all recalled to life, or resurrected, in different ways as turmoil erupts. Great Expectations centers around a poor young man by the name of Pip, who is given the chance to make himself a gentleman by a mysterious benefactor. Great Expectations offers a fascinating view of the differences between classes during the Victorian era, as well as a great sense of comedy and pathos. Charles John Huffam Dickens ( 1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Ethical Questions of Peace and War, With Special: Reference to Ireland Of my forbears, moreover, none, as far as I can learn, ever took service of any kind under the English, or got any special favour from them. Whatever pay they received was the price of farm produce; and came ultimately, to them as to their neighbours, then as now, from Britain. In that sense I was brought up on British gold, and should deem it shame not to recognise the Obligation. Otherwise I owe England nothing, except fair play; nor have I the least hope, or desire, of any special favour from her.

Download or read book Peace and War in Europe Classic Reprint written by Gilbert Slater M. A. D. Sc and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace and War in Europe Fundamentally, therefore, the two questions that are pressing upon me, as upon all of you, are, What is our duty during the war? What is our duty in the making Of peace? In the simplest language, I may say that our duty during the war is to make war Victoriously; our duty in the making of peace, to make peace permanently. This, however, only provokes the further question, How can we make war victoriously? How can we make peace permanently? The first of these questions is essen tially one for the naval and military chiefs, and for the financial and diplomatic heads of the State. The second one is emphatically a question for the historian and the sociologist, and to deal with it demands that preliminary scientific study of the forces for war and peace which I have desired to take part in. The forces that work for war or for peace between nations seem to me to be capable of being classified under four different heads. Firstly, there are the biological forces which generated wars in early times, and which, to a certain extent, underlie war in the present day; and the somewhat cognate economic forges which are brilliantly but not adequately dis cussed by Mr. Norman Angell in The Great Illusion. Secondly, there are forces arising out of conflicts of religions, and out of the inculcation Of militarist and warlike ideals in the name Of religion.

Download or read book The Vital Issues of the War Classic Reprint written by Richard Wilson Boynton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Issues of the War The first seven sermons in this volume were preached on successive Sundays in April and May and the eighth in September of the present year. Now that the church seems, in the eyes of many, to have fallen from the high esteem in which it was held by a former generation, no doubt a volume of sermons, even on "The Vital Issues of the War," runs grave risk of not being read. Since the war began, however, sharp criticism has been visited upon the pulpit for evading the discussion of its compelling moral and spiritual problems; it needs, therefore, to be made known that all pulpits, to say the least, have not deserved the reproach of failing to utilize this unique opportunity. So my book goes forth, quite without apology, for what it is - the messages of a preacher to his people in the regular course of his ministry, printed as they were delivered, with only the slight revision desirable for publication. Such utterances inevitably reflect a point of view determined in part by the time at which they were spoken. In this they are in nowise exceptional. Magazine articles, or the chapters of a book, must be finished sometime, and must bear internal evidences of their date of composition. Later impressions, especially of the swiftly-moving panorama of a world-war, would modify certain details. Thus, one could not speak now with as much optimism of the Bolshevik rule in Russia as was possible when Sermon IV was preached last April. Still, I have decided to let the sermon stand, as perhaps an over-sympathetic interpretation of the obscure strivings of the Russian democracy, the final outcome of which is still far from apparent. In such a case, one would rather err by undue generosity than by cold-blooded cynicism, which the sermon was intended to rebuke.

Download or read book November 1916 A Novel written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 1042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The month of November 1916 in Russia was outwardly unmarked by seismic events, but beneath the surface, society seethed fiercely. In Petrograd, luxury-store windows are still brightly lit; the Duma debates the monarchy, the course of war, and clashing paths to reform; the workers in the miserable munitions factories veer increasingly toward sedition. At the front all is stalemate except for sudden death's capricious visits, while in the countryside sullen anxiety among hard-pressed farmers is rapidly replacing patriotism. In Zurich, Lenin, with the smallest of all revolutionary groups, plots his sinister logistical miracle. With masterly and moving empathy, through the eyes of both historical and fictional protagonists, Solzhenitsyn unforgettably transports us to that time and place--the last of pre-Soviet Russia. Translated by H.T. Willetts. November 1916 is the second volume in Solzhenitsyn's multi-part work, the Red Wheel, following August 1914. The final volumes will deal with March and April of 1917. Each volume concentrates on a historical turning point, or "knot," as the wheel rolls on inexorably toward revolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from This Is Our Land: Problems of the War and Peace From the Point of View of a Business Man And let there be no mistake about what is meant by complete victory - no illusion or self-deception. It is not a question of victory or defeat; it is, putting it In the simplest words, Victory or Death. We must achieve abso lute and undeniable victory, or we forfeit our national and imperial existence. This truth has been slowly but surely spreading since the beginning of the War, and it is now realized by all but an insignificant faction. If only those, who should lead and direct public opinion, had brought home to the nation the magnitude of the task before it, they would have evoked a response, revealing how hollow are the fears of those doubters who have never felt the spirit of our past. The manhood of our country has won undying fame On many a hard-fought field, and the glorious deeds of the men of our race from the Dominions Beyond the Seas Show that the ancient spirit still lives. The War has knit us together and made us one as nothing else could have done, and those entrusted with the prosecution of the War, and still more with the settlement of Peace, must ever bear in mind that they are trustees, not only for the people of these islands, but also for the Dominions, who have poured out the blood of their bravest without stint for the Motherland. It becomes a sacred duty, then, for us to see that those sacrifices shall not have been made in vain, that we Shall clearly recognize the mistakes and dangers of the past, and that we shall make such terms of peace as will prevent our incurring like risks in the future. We have been so dazzled by oratory and linguistic dexterity of late years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Democracy and Peace Classic Reprint written by James Bissett Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Peace This is not a war book. It is a book about democracy and peace, about America's ideals, her duties and her dangers. Incidentally it discusses some of the problems raised by the present con fliet. And its position on these questions is not one that is likely to please every reader. For the writer of this book is a pacificist who believes in war. His conclusions, therefore, will probably gain the approval of neither the militarists nor the peace-at-any-price men. Nor will they suit that large class of out - and-outers who have no patience with any statement that has qualifications. The situation which we are facing today is, in the au thor's opinion, too complex to be expressed in a simple formula. A statement of our national duty which would be at all complete must contain more than one qualifying phrase. The truth about America cannot be compressed into a slogan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Will War Ever Cease? During the past twenty years great interest has been taken in the matter of war and peace, and thousands of good men and women have discussed the question of whether war can be abolished, and a reign of universal peace ushered in within a short time. For generations, yes for centuries, men have dreamed of peace on earth, but wars and rumors of wars have continued, and within the past six years we have witnessed perhaps the greatest and most costly war that the world has ever seen; a war that has involved nearly all the nations of the earth, and has cost the lives of millions of men, and billions of dollars, and has left in its train so much woe and evil that it seems to have cursed the nations of the earth for years, perhaps for generations to come. In the face of all this loss and destruction, certainly no sane man can deny the frightful evils of war, and no sincere well-wisher of the human race can avoid the hope that some way may be found to put an end to a system of settling disputes among nations that causes so much misery and loss to all the parties involved therein.
