Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duel Can't you recognise your own commander, your own captain? Another step and you are a dead man, shouted the Tartar, in a furious rage. In his bloodshot eyes one could discern not only wrath and murder, but a good deal of fear and perplexity, and he made nervous thrusts with his bayonet in different directions, just as if he were protecting himself against imaginary foes. Round about him, but at a respectful distance, a crowd of soldiers flocked together, accepting with joy and gratitude this interesting little interlude in their insufferable, soul killing drill.

Download or read book Le Duel written by Henri Lavedan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Le Duel: Piece En Trois Actes It is impossible as yet to assign any definite place in French literature to M. Henri Lavedan, for the excellent reason that he is still in the midst of an active literary career. He was born at Orleans in 1859, the son of a prominent journalist and administrator, who held im portant positions in both capacities. The works of the younger Lavedan show that he is a man brought up in the best principles of the class of the bourgeois, with all the advantages of that careful, traditional education which underlies the accomplishment of so many French men of letters. He gives evidence upon almost every page of knowing literature, not merely as books read, but as something upon which he can surely build. An English speaking person reading French books cannot fail to see how potent has been this intimate literary knowledge upon the part of so many of her writers, in keeping up the high standard of France. Henri Lavedan began his career as a journalist and story writer, but like so many others he soon turned to the drama, in which his best work has been done. His life has been devoted to a steady produc tion of tales, novels, dialogues, essays, and plays, amount ing at present to some thirty-seven volumes. Since 1898 he has been a member of the French Academy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Greek Prose Composition Classic Reprint written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book Marqueray s Duel Classic Reprint written by Agnes Russell Weekes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marqueray's Duel "Sir, I leave it to - er - the judgment of this House to decide whether - er - the subject ought to be taken out of the hands of men who - er - have always handled it conscientiously, and now it is proposed to hand it over to others who, as the Honorable Member who spoke will last agree with me, have not the experience which - er - experience has shown to be necessary..." Honorable Members coughed and cleared their throats softly all over a dwindling House. The distinguished solitary tenant of the Treasury Bench leaned back, folded his arms, put up his feet against the table, and gaped as though he would have liked to swallow the Honorable Member at present holding the floor. In the Strangers' Gallery, which had been packed to listen to Yarborough's defense of his South American policy, one man after another got up and went out. From the seats allotted to the private secretaries of cabinet ministers, Aubrey West, in the middle of a sympathetic yawn, caught a nod and something very like a wink from his sardonic chief, and escaped like a boy let out of school. From the dim, roof-lighted sanctuary of the House, from its droned monologue and hushed footfalls, he came forth into the roar and glitter of the night life of London. The Westminster chimes had just finished striking a quarter to eleven; their plaintive tones were still floating high in air.

Download or read book The Book of Duels written by Michael Garriga and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fierce, searing, and darkly comical, Garriga's debut collection of short-short fiction depicts historical and imagined duels, re-envisioning in a flash the competing points of motivation—courage and cowardice, honor and vengeance—that lead individuals to risk it all. In this compact collection, “settling the score” provides a fascinating apparatus for exploring foundational civilizing ideas. Notions of courage, cowardice, and revenge course through Michael Garriga’s flash fiction pieces, each one of which captures a duel’s decisive moment from three distinct perspectives: opposing accounts from the individual duelists, followed by the third account of a witness. In razor-honed language, the voices of the duelists take center stage, training a spotlight on the litany of misguided beliefs and perceptions that lead individuals into such conflicts. From Cain and Abel to Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickenson; from John Henry and the steam drill to an alcoholic fighting the bottle: the cumulative effect of these powerful pieces is a probing and disconcerting look at humankind’s long-held notions of pride, honor, vengeance, and satisfaction. Meticulously crafted by Garriga, and with stunning illustrations by Tynan Kerr, The Book of Duels is a unique and remarkable debut.
Download or read book Notes on Duels and Duelling written by Lorenzo Sabine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Duels and Duelling: Alphabetically Arranged, With a Preliminary Historical Essay This page - the last to be written - is the author's own. Here he may speak to his reader without restraint, and, if he will, as to a friend. The writer, in availing himself of the privilege accorded to all, would remark, in the first place, that whoever opens this volume in the expectation of finding mention of every challenge given and of every duel fought, in the United States or elsewhere, will be disappointed. The work, in its claims as a record, is sufficiently moderate. Bred to active business, and employed nearly the whole of his life in commercial or kindred pursuits, the author's leisure hours only have been devoted to books. In order to make them most of these hours, the plan of taking and filing away for us, as occasion might admit, memoranda of incidents and facts of interest, was adopted in early youth, and has been continued until the present moment. These Notes are, then, simply the results of common and every-day reading, observations, and conversation, for a series of years, in this particular direction.
