Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ambassador's Wife, Vol. 3 of 3 Here, all is on a different footing. At the diplomatic dinners - at court - every where, the leading Russians are naturally invited to meet their Ambassador; and as it frequently happens that they owe their introductions in Paris to sources wholly disconnected with the Imperial crown, (such as former obligations of the late King during his residence at Mitt tau, or civilities bestowed in St. Petersburg, upon former Ambassadors, or travellers of the French nation, ) - the task is often perplexing.

Book excerpt: From a real-life ambassador's wife and the acclaimed author of Exile Music comes a harrowing novel about the kidnapping of an American woman in the Middle East and the heartbreaking choices she and her husband each must make in the hope of being reunited. When bohemian artist Miranda meets British ambassador Finn in the ancient stone streets of an Islamic city, the course of her life alters in extraordinary ways. Their marriage gives her the luxury to paint whenever she wants, a staff to wait on her, and a young daughter she adores, but she loses the freedom to wander where she likes and to meet the Muslim women she is secretly teaching to paint. Her husband also makes Miranda a target: One sunny afternoon while hiking in the mountains, she is brutally kidnapped. As Finn struggles to save his family and his career, and Miranda grows close to a stranger’s child in captivity, the secrets he and Miranda have each sought to hide place them and those who trust them in peril. Not even freedom could restore the happiness that once was theirs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women Ambassadors Abroad Many will read your book simply for the story of your journeyings, which you have so charmingly told. Others, looking deeper, will see the promise of better things to come. As your narrative is making its appearance in print, the most disastrous war of all history is rav aging europe. Many of the noble structures of which you write are falling a prey to hostile tr00ps and invading armies. But in this stupendous con fliet, which I feel sure must result in universal dis armament, women, with eyes tear-wet, are, through sheer force of necessity, filling the places of men in a thousand pursuits hitherto closed to them. Throughout the fearsome struggle, with its pitiless sacrifice of men, woman's sphere will so enlarge and strengthen that when peace at last shall come, she will find herself in a new position - a position of equality and partnership with man in all theworld's activities. Then, it may be, the seeds sown by your embassy throughout Europe will spring up, blossom and ripen into abundant harvest world-wide peace, world-wide brotherhood in one grand commonwealth, knowing no bounds of state, or race, or creed. The Woman's Republic, through its Department of Peace, is now marshaling and mobilizing its World Peace Army to this end, that at the psycho logical moment, it may exert its full influence and power in bringing about international peace, and with it international disarmament.

It was in her interest, and to see her again, I was visiting Russia for the first time. I had left my Wife in Paris. She dreaded the rigors of a semi-arctic winter, and awaited my report ere deciding to visit our child, who had only spent a few weeks with us in America, and then hastened to a new home and strange but kindly relatives on the death of her husband in the Russian service in Asia. Clanging bells and shrieking whistles announced our arrival at Eydtkuhnen, the frontier of Holy Russia. Here the road changes to a six-foot gauge, so as to prevent any sudden invasion. This forces an inevitable delay in transferring from the standard gauge at the Russian frontier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ambassadors, Vol. 2 IT was n't the first time Strether had sat alone in the great dim church - still less was it the first of his giving himself up, so far as conditions permitted, to its beneficent action on his nerves. He had been to Notre Dame with Waymarsh, he had been there with Miss Gostrey, he had been there with Chad Newsome, and had found the place, even in company, such a refuge from the obsession of his problem that, with renewed pressure from that source, he had not um naturally recurred to a remedy meeting the case, for the moment, so indirectly, no doubt, but so relievingly. He was conscious enough that it was only for the mo ment, but good moments if he could call them good still had their value for a man who by this time struck himself as living almost disgracefully from hand to mouth. Having so well learnt the way, he had lately made the pilgrimage more than once by himself - had quite stolen off, taking an unnoticed chance and making no point of speaking of the adventure when restored to his friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Ambassador Three days ago, out of a clear sky, this telegram arrived: Come at once to Washington. Think I have you fixed. Walter. Walter is my best friend. He has succeeded fairly well in the Diplomatic Service, and at present is fulfilling an important position - if one may judge by the resonant title which signifies it - in the Department of State. He has been urging me for several years to go in for diplomacy; always encouraging me with the remark that I am so admirably fitted for it. What he means by this I don't exactly know. I'm of the opinion that he doesn't either. However, I had told him to tip me off if any chance came; and I felt sure that this telegram meant that the opportunity had come knocking at my door. He met me at the station. "You're looking quite fit. Ready for a job?" He took me by the arm and piloted me through the crowd to his motor. "It's all ready for you."

If the motive of The Wings of the Dove, as I have noted, was to worry me at moments by a scaling up of its face though without prejudice to its again, of a sudden, fairly grimacing with expression so in this other business I had absolute conviction and constant clearness to deal with; it had been a frank proposition, the whole bunch of data, installed on my premises like a monotony of fine weather.
