"Come, for creation groans, Impatient of Thy stay, Worn out with these long years of ill, These ages of delay. "Come, and make all things new, Build up this ruined earth; Restore our faded Paradise-- Creation's second birth." As I gazed upon the unmeaning idiotic grin of the poor creatures, I thought what grace and patience a missionary would require to labour amongst them, and how gently he should be thought of if apparently unsuccessful after years of diligent, prayerful, self-denying effort. Of those who contribute towards the support of foreign missions, a few--happily but a few--seem to think that souls should be converted at the rate of so many pounds, shillings, and pence per head; that the work of the Lord should be measured by the foot, as timber is measured. They seem to forget that the winning of souls to Christ is "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." If it be regretted that foreign missions are not as successful as could be wished, who feels the more, he who undergoes years of absence from all the comforts, refinements, and privileges of Christian communion and civilized life, who faces death in the shape of climate, perilous travels by land and sea, and risks amid wild beasts, venomous serpents, and relentless savages, and all for a salary that only keeps him, or he who, comfortably seated in an arm-chair, pokes the fire on a winter's night, and would not risk his precious body to the dangers of the forest or inclemencies of the weather, and sickliness of tropical or frigid climes, no, not for thousands of yellow sovereigns of British coinage? I should just like to catch some of our pompous puffy grumblers, some of our confirmed fault-finders, and see what they would do. Yes, I should...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diary as a genre is found in all literate societies, and these autobiographical accounts are written by persons of all ranks and positions. The Diary offers an exploration of the form in its social, historical, and cultural-literary contexts with its own distinctive features, poetics, and rhetoric. The contributors to this volume examine theories and interpretations relating to writing and studying diaries; the formation of diary canons in the United Kingdom, France, United States, and Brazil; and the ways in which handwritten diaries are transformed through processes of publication and digitization. The authors also explore different diary formats, including the travel diary, the private diary, conflict diaries written during periods of crisis, and the diaries of the digital era, such as blogs. The Diary offers a comprehensive overview of the genre, synthesizing decades of interdisciplinary study to enrich our understanding of, research about, and engagement with the diary as literary form and historical documentation.

Download or read book The Private Life of the Diary written by Sally Bayley and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diaries keep secrets, harbouring our fantasies and fictional histories. They are substitute boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses and friends. But in this age of social media, the role of the diary as a private confidante has been replaced by a culture of public self-disclosure. The Private Life of the Diary: from Pepys to Tweets is an elegantly-told story of the evolution – and perhaps death – of the diary. It traces its origins to seventeenth-century naval administrator, Samuel Pepys, and continues to twentieth-century diarist Virginia Woolf, who recorded everything from her personal confessions about her irritation with her servants to her memories of Armistice Day and the solar eclipse of 1927. Sally Bayley explores how diaries can sometimes record our lives as we live them, but that we often indulge our fondness for self-dramatization, like the teenaged Sylvia Plath who proclaimed herself 'The Girl Who Would be God'. This book is an examination of the importance of writing and self-reflection as a means of forging identity. It mourns the loss of the diary as an acutely private form of writing. And it champions it as a conduit to self-discovery, allowing us to ask ourselves the question: Who or What am I in relation to the world?

This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second book of a trilogy is set in the twenty-third century. It’s a tale of rising tensions and loyalties played out on a galactic stage on the Confederation colony of Danovia Prime in the Orion Section. Danovia’s colonists were shocked to witness the destruction of their moon Trinity by the Ypsilanti Empire, a relentless force trying to eradicate the Dakkarosi. Marsha Ames gave birth to Sedona while on duty during that attack. That massive, square silver object the Dakkarosi stole has been brought to Trinity by two Terran opportunists, transported to Terra, and then returned to the Ypsilanti Magi after a drawn-out negotiation process. However, the Ypsilans are still bent on eliminating the Dakkarosi. To that end, the Ypsilanti forces secretly established bases on Danovia as Sedona matures into a teenager. Her mother, Marsha, and her father, the late General Rick Cox, never married. They showered her with love until he died of heart failure when Sedona was a small child. Sedona was the only teenager left on the planet after the Confederation allowed relocation for those wishing it. But Sedona would not leave without her mother, and Marsha could not go because she is a contracted Confederation employee. What will happen to those remaining on the planet? Find out in Danovia Prime Obliterated!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WRY AND HILARIOUS ACCOUNT OF LIFE AT A BOOKSHOP IN A REMOTE SCOTTISH VILLAGE "Among the most irascible and amusing bookseller memoirs I've read." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times "Warm, witty and laugh-out-loud funny..." —The Daily Mail The Diary of a Bookseller is Shaun Bythell's funny and fascinating memoir of a year in the life at the helm of The Bookshop, in the small village of Wigtown, Scotland—and of the delightfully odd locals, unusual staff, eccentric customers, and surreal buying trips that make up his life there as he struggles to build his business . . . and be polite . . . In this wry and hilarious diary, he tells us the trials and tribulations of being a small businessman; of learning that customers can be, um, eccentric; and of wrangling with his own staff of oddballs. And perhaps none are quirkier than the charmingly cantankerous bookseller Bythell himself turns out to be. Slowly, with a mordant wit and keen eye, Bythell is seduced by the growing charm of small-town life, despite—or maybe because of—all the peculiar characters there.
Download or read book Anne Frank written by Francine Prose and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Prose’s book is a stunning achievement. . . . Now Anne Frank stands before us. . . a figure who will live not only in history but also in the literature she aspired to create.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune In June, 1942, Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic. For two years, she described life in hiding in vivid, unforgettable detail and grappled with the unfolding events of World War II. Before the attic was raided in August, 1944, Anne Frank furiously revised and edited her work, crafting a piece of literature that she hoped would be read by the public after the war. And read it has been. In Anne Frank, bestselling author Francine Prose deftly parses the artistry, ambition, and enduring influence of Anne Frank’s beloved classic, The Diary of a Young Girl. She investigates the diary’s unique afterlife: the obstacles and criticism Otto Frank faced in publishing his daughter’s words; the controversy surrounding the diary’s Broadway and film adaptations, and the social mores of the 1950s that reduced it to a tale of adolescent angst and love; the conspiracy theories that have cried fraud, and the scientific analysis that proved them wrong. Finally, having assigned the book to her own students, Prose considers the rewards and challenges of teaching one of the world’s most read, and banned, books. How has the life and death of one girl become emblematic of the lives and deaths of so many, and why do her words continue to inspire? Approved by both the Anne Frank House Foundation in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank-Fonds in Basel, run by the Frank family, Anne Frank unravels the fascinating story of a memoir that has become one of the most compelling, intimate, and important documents of modern history.

Download or read book The Diary of an American Girl written by Alison L. Parker and published by . This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on my childhood experiences in 1950’s Japan. Japan has changed enormously since those postwar days of poverty. Anne, the heroine, encounters this along with her discoveries of beautiful gardens. Would an American child moving to Japan with her family discover the same things that Anne discovered? Certainly some of the “opposites” Anne encountered are still very true. The Japanese do many things differently from us. However, other things have changed. No average American household could afford to hire servants in Japan today. But if a Japanese child from a middle-income family were to come to this country, she would be amazed to discover that her family could afford to live in a huge house with a beautiful lawn! She would discover a new freedom making friends the American way. Her ways of looking at the world would be expanded. That is the point of the book. When I first started this book around 1989 there were no books for children that I could find on the subject of an American child integrating into a foreign culture. There were plenty on the subject of a foreign child trying to adjust to the American culture.

Download or read book The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement written by Roger Casement and published by Anaconda Editions. This book was released on 1997 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, from the previously unpublished manuscript in the National Library of Ireland, is a valuable and deeply detailed edition of the diary kept by Casement during his journey into the South American rainforests. He had been sent by the British government to report on atrocities against tribal people while being forced to collect rubber in the Putumayo region in the north-west Amazon. Genocide among the Amazon Indians has continued, but external investigations of this kind have been rare. The way in which Roger Casement carried out his work is still relevant to all kinds of humanitarian and whistle-blowing activities. It is also a key text charting Casement's transition from observer to anti-imperial revolutionary and Irish independence leader, culminating in his execution by the British government in August 1916 after the Easter Rising."
