Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Enigma Mr. Murray informs me that the thousand copies of this work, published two mouths ago, are sold, and that a second edition is called for. In preparing it, I have corrected some dozen errors of the press, which had escaped my notice in the first edition. I have also made two slight changes in the text at pp. 236 and 246 to meet suggestions with which I have been favoured by the Right Rev. Dr. Hedley, Bishop of Newport and Menevia, and for which I desire to express my sincere thanks to that very learned Prelate. I am indebted to the Rev. Charles Gore for reminding me that the account of the Hexateuch given at p. 8 does not find favour with the most recent exponents of "the higher criticism." No doubt this is so. We are now confidently assured, by the school of which Wellhausen is the best known representative, that the Elohist-Javist division must give way to the more scientific analysis into the Priestly codex and the Prophetic additions. But as I am not, personally, prepared to adopt either view, or even to express a preference for either, I have not thought it worth while to alter the page in question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Green Enigma It was a woman who had approached, young, indeed of no more than sixteen years, small, but with full round limbs, and a deep bosom where jutted forth, with glorious curves, twin hillocks of dusky pearl from beneath her hair. She was fair skinned, even beyond the paleness of Kshatriya women, and her black tresses of hair hung to her waist in smooth, silky waves. There was no single fault in her face, the pale olive of which was deeply tinged with crimson on her cheeks. Her eyes of liquid brown were set wide apart, and had not the slight slant common to wo men of her race; her dainty nose had something of piquancy added to its perfection, and the bright red lips could not but part a little to reveal a glis tening row of tiny teeth. Her expression was one of absolute innocence; yet there was mischief, too, in her look, an effect due, perhaps, to the contrast of her pointed chin with the wide brow, perhaps to her manner of meeting the youth's level gaze with slightly inclined head; and a smile seemed ever to be gathering upon her face, or just departing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Creature of the Night: An Italian Enigma But Verona! Ah, it was truly delightful, that sleepy town lying so peacefully on the banks of the rapid Adige, dreaming amid the riotous present of the splen did past, when Can, Grande held his brilliant court, and received as an honoured guest the great poet Dante, exiled by ungrateful Florence. The city of the gay rhymer Catullus, merry lover of Lesbia, who wept more tears over her sparrow than she did over her poet. The city of Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers as they were, who were recompensed for their short, unhappy lives by gaining immortality from the pen of Shakespeare as types of eternal love and eternal constancy, for the encouragement of all succeeding youths and maidens of later generations. Yes, indeed, with all these memories, historical and poetical, Verona was a pleasant place. In which to idle away a summer, so I thanked the kind. Gods for my good fortune and enjoyed myself.

Download or read book Alan Turing The Enigma written by Andrew Hodges and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades—all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing’s royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life. Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing’s life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing’s revolutionary idea of 1936—the concept of a universal machine—laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing’s leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program—all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime. The inspiration for a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, Alan Turing: The Enigma is a gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution.
Download or read book Hollywood Enigma written by Carl Rollyson and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dana Andrews (1909–1992) worked with distinguished directors such as John Ford, Lewis Milestone, Otto Preminger, Fritz Lang, William Wyler, William A. Wellman, Mervyn Le Roy, Jean Renoir, and Elia Kazan. He played romantic leads alongside the great beauties of the modern screen, including Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Merle Oberon, Linda Darnell, Susan Hayward, Maureen O'Hara, and most important of all, Gene Tierney, with whom he did five films. Retrospectives of his work often elicit high praise for an underrated actor, a master of the minimalist style. His image personified the “male mask” of the 1940s in classic films such as Laura, Fallen Angel, and Where the Sidewalk Ends, in which he played the “masculine ideal of steely impassivity.” No comprehensive discussion of film noir can neglect his performances. He was an “actor's actor.” Here at last is the complete story of a great actor, his difficult struggle to overcome alcoholism while enjoying the accolades of his contemporaries, a successful term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the love of family and friends that never deserted him. Based on diaries, letters, home movies, and other documents, this biography explores the mystery of a poor boy from Texas who made his Hollywood dream come true even as he sought a life apart from the limelight and the backbiting of contemporaries jockeying for prizes and prestige. Called “one of nature's noblemen” by his fellow actor Norman Lloyd, Dana Andrews emerges from Hollywood Enigma as an admirable American success story, fighting his inner demons and ultimately winning.

The riddle making concerns numbers, and indeed the number three, with which we start our Worthies. Armado is told that he' can study three years by adding one and two and putting years to the result. Three parallels cip. Years parallels the zero her, for it will be noticed that time is reduced to its name, which, as time, is nothing. This reduces three years to noth ing, which parallels the complete enigma word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Parthenon Enigma written by Joan Breton Connelly and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built in the fifth century b.c., the Parthenon has been venerated for more than two millennia as the West’s ultimate paragon of beauty and proportion. Since the Enlightenment, it has also come to represent our political ideals, the lavish temple to the goddess Athena serving as the model for our most hallowed civic architecture. But how much do the values of those who built the Parthenon truly correspond with our own? And apart from the significance with which we have invested it, what exactly did this marvel of human hands mean to those who made it? In this revolutionary book, Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations, she re-creates the development of the Acropolis—the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state—from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular, she probes the Parthenon’s legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire (in the seventeenth century) and most of what remained was shipped off to Britain (in the nineteenth century) among the Elgin marbles. The frieze’s vast enigmatic procession—a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders, musicians and maidens—has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides (the discovery of which, in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy, is only one of this book’s intriguing adventures), Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning, a story of human sacrifice set during the city’s mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual, this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers, rationalists, and rhetoricians, a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible. The Parthenon’s full significance has been obscured until now owing in no small part, Connelly argues, to the frieze’s dismemberment. And so her investigation concludes with a call to reunite the pieces, in order that what is perhaps the greatest single work of art surviving from antiquity may be viewed more nearly as its makers intended. Marshalling a breathtaking range of textual and visual evidence, full of fresh insights woven into a thrilling narrative that brings the distant past to life, The Parthenon Enigma is sure to become a landmark in our understanding of the civilization from which we claim cultural descent.
