Book excerpt: John Claverhouse was a moon-faced man. You know the kind, cheek-bones wideapart, chin and forehead melting into the cheeks to complete the perfect round, and the nose, broad and pudgy, equidistant from the circumference, flattenedagainst the very centre of the face like a dough-ball upon the ceiling. Perhaps thatis why I hated him, for truly he had become an offense to my eyes, and I believedthe earth to be cumbered with his presence. Perhaps my mother may have beensuperstitious of the moon and looked upon it over the wrong shoulder at the wrongtime.Be that as it may, I hated John Claverhouse. Not that he had done me whatsociety would consider a wrong or an ill turn. Far from it. The evil was of a deeper, subtler sort; so elusive, so intangible, as to defy clear, definite analysis in words. Weall experience such things at some period in our lives. For the first time we see acertain individual, one who the very instant before we did not dream existed; andyet, at the first moment of meeting, we say: "I do not like that man." Why do we notlike him? Ah, we do not know why; we know only that we do not. We have taken adislike, that is all. And so I with John Claverhouse.What right had such a man to be happy? Yet he was an optimist. He was alwaysgleeful and laughing. All things were always all right, curse him! Ah I how it gratedon my soul that he should be so happy! Other men could laugh, and it did notbother me. I even used to laugh myself-before I met John Claverhouse.But his laugh! It irritated me, maddened me, as nothing else under the sun couldirritate or madden me. It haunted me, gripped hold of me, and would not let me go.It was a huge, Gargantuan laugh. Waking or sleeping it was always with me, whirring and jarring across my heart-strings like an enormous rasp. At break of dayit came whooping across the fields to spoil my pleasant morning revery. Under theaching noonday glare, when the green things drooped and the birds withdrew tothe depths of the forest, and all nature drowsed, his great "Ha! ha!" and "Ho! ho!"rose up to the sky and challenged the sun. And at black midnight, from the lonelycross-roads where he turned from town into his own place, came his plagueycachinnations to rouse me from my sleep and make me writhe and clench my nailsinto my pal

Download or read book Join the Revolution Comrade written by Charles Foran and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Join the Revolution, Comrade, Charles Foran brings to the essay form the same restlessness and originality that mark his novels and non-fiction. Foran visits places in Vietnam that have been 'colonized' by western war films, talks to Shanghai residents about their colossal city and commiserates with the people of Bali about the effects of terrorist bombs on their island. In Beijing he looks up old friends he had known back in 1989 during the days before and after the June 4th massacre. "Join the revolution, Comrade," a friend had loved to say, quoting a line from a Bertolucci film. Foran also 'encounters' Miguel de Cervantes, the Buddha of Compassion, and the pumped-up American Tom Wolfe. He maps the geography of Canadian literature and pinpoints the 'inner-Newfoundland' of Wayne Johnston. He defends the novel against those who would tame it and uses an ancient Chinese philosopher to explain how one imagination -- his own-- works. Whether exploring the waterways of Thailand or the streets of his childhood in suburban Toronto, meditating on raising children in post-9/11 Asia or the music of good prose, Charles Foran's writing is fresh, alert, and free of convention.

Download or read book Into Print written by Charles Walton and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous clash between Edmund Burke and Tom Paine over the Enlightenment&’s &“evil&” or &“liberating&” potential in the French Revolution finds present-day parallels in the battle between those who see the Enlightenment at the origins of modernity&’s many ills, such as imperialism, racism, misogyny, and totalitarianism, and those who see it as having forged an age of democracy, human rights, and freedom. The essays collected by Charles Walton in Into Print paint a more complicated picture. By focusing on print culture&—the production, circulation, and reception of Enlightenment thought&—they show how the Enlightenment was shaped through practice and reshaped over time. These essays expand upon an approach to the study of the Enlightenment pioneered four decades ago: the social history of ideas. The contributors to Into Print examine how writers, printers, booksellers, regulators, police, readers, rumormongers, policy makers, diplomats, and sovereigns all struggled over that broad range of ideas and values that we now associate with the Enlightenment. They reveal the financial and fiscal stakes of the Enlightenment print industry and, in turn, how Enlightenment ideas shaped that industry during an age of expanding readership. They probe the limits of Enlightenment universalism, showing how demands for religious tolerance clashed with the demands of science and nationalism. They examine the transnational flow of Enlightenment ideas and opinions, exploring its domestic and diplomatic implications. Finally, they show how the culture of the Enlightenment figured in the outbreak and course of the French Revolution. Aside from the editor, the contributors are David A. Bell, Roger Chartier, Tabetha Ewing, Jeffrey Freedman, Carla Hesse, Thomas M. Luckett, Sarah Maza, Renato Pasta, Thierry Rigogne, Leonard N. Rosenband, Shanti Singham, and Will Slauter.
