Book excerpt: Vogt's investigation of LC's early life and education not only reveals important, previously unacknowledged influences on specific projects such as the League of Nations headquarters and the Villa Savoye, but also suggests why LC throughout his career preferred to lift buildings above the ground, to give them the appearance of "floating." This tendency had decisive consequences for buildings associated with the modern movement and continues to influence architecture today.

Download or read book Richard Savage written by Charles Whitehead and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Savage: A Romance of Real Life As the Illustrations play so important a part in the book now before the reader, it has been suggested that a few words concerning the designer and etcher of these plates might form an appropriate and acceptable introduction to the work. At the outset I would disclaim any wish or intention to pose as a critic. Such men as Thackeray, Dr. John Brown, and Dean Hole have already given their estimate of Leech's power, and I should cast aside my feeble pen in dismay were it to be supposed that I attached any importance to my personal opinions as to the qualities and value of his work. I could wish that this appreciation of John Leech had fallen into worthier hands than mine, and my only plea for undertaking this introduction is that I heartily admired and loved the man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Savage, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of Real Life A few words only will be necessary to the introduction of the following Work. It is by no means of importance that the reader should be informed how this autobiographical memoir of Richard Savage fell into my hands, and thence came into the possession of the publisher. Perhaps it is a secret not hastily to be disclosed; perhaps it is a secret not worth the telling. This, however, may be said respecting it: - I found it in no old oak-chest, - I purloined it from no library of "a certain nobleman," - I purchased it from no cheesemonger, who told me that a person who had evidently seen better days, came into his shop last week, and with a heavy sigh laid the MS. upon the counter, and stickling for a turn of the scale, and the highest current price, sold it as waste-paper for one and eightpence.

A century later - 1951 - and about a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a "nuclear testing program" but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin."--

Download or read book Lives of the English Poets written by Samuel Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Poets: Addison, Savage, Swift Johnson's simple truthfulness and ready sympathy made it hard for him to doubt the story told as Savage told it to him. But when he told it again himself, though he denounced one whom he believed to be an unnatural mother and dealt gently with his friend, he did not translate evil into good. Through all the generous and kindly narrative we may see clearly that Savage was an impostor. There is the heart of Johnson in the noble appeal against judgment of the self-righteous who have never known the harder trials of the world, when he says of Savage, Those are no proper judges of his conduct, who have slumbered away their time on the down of plenty; nor will any wise man easily presume to, say, 'had I been in Savage's condition, I should have lived or written better than Savage.' But Johnson, who made large allowance for temptations pressing on the poor, himself suffered and overcame the hardest trials, firm always to his duty, true servant of God and friend of man.

This boy was no better and probably no Worse than thousands of other boys, yet there is, and always was, a certain love of the wilderness and an insight into the lives of the wild people of the woods and valleys, that made him a gentle young savage, manly, true and keen. I liked him from the first and associated more or less with him until he grew up and became the father of another boy, who is much like this boy that I know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two lonely teenage girls in 1940s Washington, DC, discover they have a penchant for solving crimes—and an even greater desire to commit them—in the new mystery novel by Macavity Award-winning novelist John Copenhaver. Philippa Watson, a good-natured yet troubled seventeen-year-old, has just moved to Washington, DC. She’s lonely until she meets Judy Peabody, a brilliant and tempestuous classmate. The girls become unlikely friends and fashion themselves as intellectuals, drawing the notice of Christine Martins, their dazzling English teacher, who enthralls them with her passion for literature and her love of noirish detective fiction. When Philippa returns a novel Miss Martins has lent her, she interrupts a man grappling with her in the shadows. Frightened, Philippa flees, unsure who the man is or what she’s seen. Days later, her teacher returns to school altered: a dark shell of herself. On the heels of her teacher’s transformation, a classmate is found dead in the Anacostia River—murdered—the body stripped and defiled with a mysterious inscription. As the girls follow the clues and wrestle with newfound feelings toward each other, they suspect that the killer is closer to their circle than they imagined—and that the greatest threat they face may not be lurking in the halls at school, or in the city streets, but creeping out from a murderous impulse of their own.
