Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brigadier and Other Stories IN the interval of ten years which elapsed be tween Smoke and Virgin Soil, the critics, generally speaking, bore themselves coldly to ward Turgenie 's productions, and the public' did the same. Sometimes his sketches of various lengths were condemned, and he was accused of having deteriorated; sometimes they were praised, but without any special enthusiasm, and more as a matter of habit, more on account of the former services of the favourite author. In the criticism of that period there may be detected an attempt at diligent and thoughtful elucidation of the gen eral inward meaning of the studies which the au thor published year by year.

Download or read book Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having killed off Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began a new series of tales on a very different theme. Brigadier Gerard is an officer in Napoleon's army—ecklessly brave, engagingly openhearted, and unshakable, if not a little absurd, in his devotion to the enigmatic Emperor. The Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established in the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to those of the incomparable Holmes, are sure to find new devotees among the ardent fans of such writers as Patrick O'Brian and George MacDonald Fraser.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brigadier Frederick: And the Deans Watch Fashions change in literature, but certain things abide. There may be disputes from generation to generation, even from decade to decade, as to what is aesthetic, or what is beautiful; there is less as to what is human. The work of the French writers, whose duality is quite lost in the long-time association of their names for the purposes of story making, seems at the least to make this claim to outlast its authors: it is delightfully saturated with humanity. And this humanity is of the sort that, since it can be understood of all men, is therefore very widely acceptable. It is well to emphasize the point in an attempt to explain the popularity of Erckmann-Chatrian, immediate or remote. There are other reasons, to be sure: but this one is at the door, knocking to be heard. 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 Exploits of Brigadier Gerard Readers of Marbot, de Gonneville, Coignet, de Fezenac, Bourgogne, and the other French soldiers who have recorded their reminiscences of the Napoleonic campaigns, will recognise the fountain from which I have drawn the adventures of Etienne Gerard. It was an extraordinary age, and produced extraordinary types. For twenty-three years France was at war, with one short breathing space of a few months. To Frenchmen war had become the normal and natural state. Children were born in war, grew up in war, fought in the war, and died in the same endless war without ever knowing what peace was like. Yet, as we read the memoirs of these fighting men, or if we consult the descriptions left by those who, like our own Napier, had met them in the field, we find that they were by no means brutalised by this strange experience, and that among them were knightly and gentle souls, playfully gallant, whose actions recall the very.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the Central Division, or Army of Chihuahua, Commanded by Brigadier General Wool It is with feelings of temerity, that we attempt to add one more to the already numerous, able, and judicious works which have been brought into existence, and are now before an enlightened public, on subjects connected with the present war with Mexico. The author of the following humble, unassuming pages, is aware, however, that among the number, none have as yet touched on that body of the army known as the Central Division, or Army of Chihuahua, excepting a small sketch written by a correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times, which has since been copied and embraced in a publication entitled, "Taylor and his Generals." The author has endeavored, in his narrative, to be as plain and concise as possible, confining himself strictly to occurrences in the Division and the army connected with it, from the time of its rendezvous at San Antonio de Bexar, until its final disbandment at Camargo. Having contemplated the publication of a work of this description, while connected with the army, he spared no endeavors to obtain all the adventures, incidents, anecdotes, stampedes, etc., which occurred during the campaign.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Girl in Question: A Story of Not So Long Ago The crush was over, and the formal guests had departed from the weekly reception at the house of the Secretary of War. Mrs. Randolph, the Secretary's second wife, strolled from the card-room, just in time to greet Brigadier-General Leon Hartley, as he entered. For the first time that afternoon, her handsome face lighted with genuine pleasure. It was evident that the second Mrs. Randolph, who, rumor whispered, had married the old Secretary for money and position, was receiving her reward generously. Not only was she teaching the War Secretary quite the proper way to spend his money; but, from the beginning, she had taken a firm and eager hand in politics, much to his amusement at first, though, of late, perhaps, he had reason to think that women and politics do not combine for the good of man! His feelings, however, were not greatly considered by his new wife, who, notwithstanding all his arguments, still maintained that a little game of cards, not forgetting a full punch bowl, was the best persuader to popularity.
