Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King's Men For the moment the great European war appears mainly as a military event shaping to an end in Flanders, Poland, and the Near East. Even those whose work has hitherto denied them an active part in the progress of the armies look continually towards the battlefield. But the war is not only a military event. It is, so far as the English are concerned, a social revolution - social revolution beside which all former revolutions will one day seem to be of Lillipu. We cannot measure it as yet. We are hardly aware of its progress. We shall only realise how deep and complete it is when the fighting is finished, and our political leaders find themselves confronted with Young England. The war found us in the act of taking to its extreme consequence the doctrine of personal licence. In politics the State had virtually retired from sovereignty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King's Men: A Tale of to-Morrow There are few Americans who went to England before the late wars but will remember Ripon House. The curious student of history - a study, perhaps, too little in vogue with us - could find no better example of the palace of an old feudal lord. Dating almost from the time of the first George - and some even say it was built by the same Wren who designed that St Paul's Cathedral whose ruins we may still see to the east of London - it frowned upon the miles of private park surrounding it, a marble memorial of feudal monopoly and man's selfish greed. The very land about it, to an extent of almost half a county, was owned by the owners of the castle, and by them rented out upon an annual payment to such farmers as they chose to favor with a chance to earn their bread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Download or read book Robert Penn Warren s All the King s Men written by Jonathan S. Cullick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Penn Warren is one of the best-known and most consequential Kentucky writers of the twentieth century and the only American writer to have won three Pulitzers in two different genres. All the King's Men, generally considered one of the finest novels ever written on American politics, transcends sensationalism and topicality to stand as art. It was a bestseller, won the Pulitzer Prize, and became an Academy Award–winning movie. Depicting the rise and fall of a dictatorial southern politician—modeled on Huey Long of Louisiana—the timeless story and memorable characters raise questions about the importance of history, moral conflicts in public policy, and idealism in government. In Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men: A Reader's Companion, author Jonathan S. Cullick considers the themes of this famous novel within the context of America's current political climate. He addresses the novel's continuing relevance and interviews a cross-section of elected and appointed officials, as well as journalists, in Kentucky to explore how Warren's novel has influenced their work and approach to politics. By focusing on what Warren's novel has to say about power, populism, ethics, and the force of rhetoric, Cullick encourages readers to think about their own identities and responsibilities as American citizens. This volume promises to be not only an indispensable companion to All the King's Men but it also provides context and a new diverse set of perspectives from which to understand this seminal novel.

Download or read book The Expendable Man written by Dorothy B. Hughes and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes.
Download or read book Morality and the Market Routledge Revivals written by N. Craig Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can businesses abandon the axiom that the customer is always right when consumers start questioning the ethics of business practices? Professor Craig Smith examines the theory and practice of ethical purchase behaviour, a crucial mechanism for ensuring social responsibility in business. He explains how and why consumers have used their purchasing power to influence corporate policies and practices. He argues the case for the social control of business, drawing on perspectives from marketing, economics, politics, sociology, and business policy. He concludes that the market may act as an arbiter of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ business practice. Dr Smith considers the practical aspects of ethical purchase behaviour, focusing on consumer boycotts as a specific form of this consumer behaviour, and explains how boycotted businesses should respond. This title, first published in 1990, is ideal for both business students and those who have a business of their own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King and the Bondmen The slanting beams penetrated here and there through the closely interwoven branches, and sent a stream of light down into the dusky shade below, making the surrounding gloom look the deeper by the contrast. The trees grew thick and tangled together, not trimmed and thinned as the forests are in our days; and the path which wound in and out among the stems was rough and uneven, sometimes making a sudden bend to get out of the way of an old mossy root, or losing itself in a swampy hollow, or crossing a little stream that crept lazily along in its narrow channel. The owls were beginning to hoot, and now and then the hoarse croak of a raven was heard; indeed, all things showed that night, the time for repose, was coming on. Along this path a young man was walking with a weary step, as though he were very tired. His dress was a gaberdine or frock similar to that worn by labourers of the present day, except that it was made of coarse gray woollen, and fastened round the waist with a belt; short leggings covered his knees, while his feet, neck and head were bare. On his shoulder he carried a spade, which was not shaped as ours are, but had a place on one side only for the foot. Once or twice he shifted it from side to side, or grasping it with both hands seemed as though he would like to strike a blow with it as a weapon, and muttered to himself as he went along. Evidently something had happened to trouble him, for his look was full of anger and vexation. At last he spoke in a low tone - 'And so the new lord is to come next month, and we shall all have to go and do service to him, and promise to be his bondmen as long as we live. Oh, 'tis a weary, weary life Will it always be so?' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
