Excerpt: ...the fallen man, and the next to suffer, makes a desperate effort to disengage his hands from their bonds, while those behind him look as though appalled at their coming fate. One alone has an attitude and action differing from all his fellows. It is the last figure, the Rhinoceros, or horn-capped Armenian chief. Against this most conspicuous of his prisoners, the wrath of "the Great King" seems specially directed. He seems to fix his eye on him, to reproach, and to snap his fingers at him as in scorn. The Armenian on the other hand, may be seen to stand fast, and, instead of moving on with his fellow-captives, to strain his neck against the rope until it drags him from the perpendicular, and to the point of strangulation. All this, as impartial eyes have observed, may clearly be discerned in the sculpture, but all this was learned by the present writer, not from the This action, very marked in Col. Rawlinson's Plate, is missed by Porter. Plate, but from the Inscriptions. These describe the desire of the Armenian to die by his own act, rather than by the mandate of his hated foe; and that, therefore, he stands fast to strangle himself. While, with reference to the figures on the opposite side, one word represents the guardsmen, as the sculpture also does, in the act of echoing their savage master's mockeries; another describes the king, in the very act depicted, as snapping his fingers in scorn at the obnoxious Armenian. This word and definition are too remarkable to-A--be pretermitted. The word is j jj y-nakar: its definition, Illisit pollicem medio digito, et inde divulsit crepitandi ergo. Snapping the thumb against the middle finger to make a noise. This very peculiar action, apparently overlooked by Colonel Rawlinson, ...

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, Vol. 9 Without, at present, pausing to inquire what may have been the ultimate origin and cause Of such a belief, the Observer will note that, among all these transformation stories, none, from the beginning Of time to the present day, has kept such a hold on the popular imagination as the tale Of the Werwolf. It would be hard to find another with a diffusion so extensive and, at the same time, with a vitality in literature and legend so remarkable. Why is this the case? If we ask why this particular story of the Werwolf should have extended so much farther than others of the same nature, at least one practical answer is sug gested: The wolf himself is one Of the most widely diffused Of animals. Like his brother, the dog, he shares with man the ability to live and thrive in nearly all parts Of the earth. Wherever man, in his wanderings, has penetrated there he has found, and fought, his ancient enemy. Certainly, in the Hunting and Fishing Epoch, his howling could have been no pleasant sound to the primeval man in his rude retreat; in the Pastoral Age his enmity to the grazing sheep must have made him a never-failing topic Of conversa tion; and the glare Of his eyes across the moonlit snow of a winter's night was a terror to the lonely traveller, in any age. Hence it is that few animals have ever been surrounded with so many gloomy superstitions. NO one has a good word for Isengrim. Even among the Romans, children Of the wolf-god of Death and suckled by the she-wolf, he never was in good repute. His distinctive features, in folk-lore, are ravening hunger and bestial ferocity, l he is the symbol of Night and Winter' and the Messenger Of Death.'

Download or read book City Primeval written by Elmore Leonard and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE INSPIRATION FOR JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL ON FX “As gritty and hard-driving a thriller as you’ll find….The action never stops, the language sings and stings.” —Washington Post The City Primeval in Elmore Leonard’s relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the author’s much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Master’s acclaimed crime novels. The “Alexander the Great of crime fiction” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing “Oklahoma Wildman” and the dedicated city copy who’s determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV’s Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murder—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker included—and nobody then or now is better.

Book excerpt: Tokarczuk's third novel, Primeval and Other Times was awarded the Passport Prize in 1996 And The Koscielski Prize in 1997, which established the author as one of the leading voices in Polish letters. it is set in the mythical village of Primeval in the very heart of Poland, which is populated by eccentric, archetypal characters. The village, a microcosm of Europe, Is guarded by four archangels, from whose perspective the novel chronicles the lives of Primeval's inhabitants over the course of the feral 20th century. In prose that is forceful and direct, The narrative follows Poland's tortured political history from 1914 To The contemporary era And The episodic brutality that is visited on ordinary village life. Yet Primeval and Other Times is a novel of universal dimension that does not dwell on the parochial. A stylized fable as well as epic allegory about the inexorable grind of time, The clash between modernity (the masculine) and nature (the feminine), it has been translated into most European languages. Tokarczuk has said of the novel: "I always wanted to write a book such as this. One that creates and describes a world. it is the story of a world that, like all things living, Is born, develops, and then dies." Kitchens, bedrooms, childhood memories, dreams and insomnia, reminiscences, and amnesia - these are part of the existential and acoustic spaces from which the voices of Tokarczuk's tale come, her "boxes in boxes."

It is not to be very interesting or very popular in treating a subject so far removed from the ordinary range of investiga tion; still he thinks that the man who has a taste for philological researches, will find principles stated in it that are worthy of his best consideration, and a mode of dealing with the Chinese language suggested, which will ultimately unravel all the absurdities adhering to that or any other tongue.

Download or read book An Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by John Jamieson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, Vol. 1 For convenient reference, and in order otherwise to increase the usefulness of this work, many important improvements have been introduced in the form of the book. It will be found, for example, that all the quotations, corrections, and additions of the Supplement, have been incorporated in the body of the work; and that the arrangement of words, which was in some instances faulty, has been made more consistent; that many corrections have been made throughout; and that not a few additional forms and meanings of words have been given. But, in almost every case, except where the alteration is merely verbal, the new matter has been enclosed within brackets, to distinguish it from the work of Dr. Jamieson. No pains have been spared to make this edition of the Scottish Dictionary as correct and complete as possible; but, even with the utmost care and attention, in a work of such magnitude and diversity, mistakes and omissions are unavoidable. In order to remedy these defects, the volumes will come under the eye of ripe and able scholars in all parts of the world, and lists of corrigenda and addenda will be collected as the work proceeds, which, when properly sifted and arranged, will form an interesting and valuable addition to the great work by Dr. Jamieson. To secure a result so important, every one who takes an interest in our Scottish literature, and in the success of the present undertaking, is respectfully invited to assist; for, only by combination of effort, can completeness be obtained. The Publisher will reckon himself peculiarly indebted to any readers who will take the trouble of pointing out errors of importance, or of transmitting to him such words as have been omitted, with the proper explanations. This edition contains Dr. Jamieson's original Prefaces, his Dissertation on the Origin of the Scottish Language, a List of the Books referred to, or quoted by the Author throughout his Dictionary and Supplement, and the List of Original Subscribers. When nearly half of the first volume had passed through the press, Dr. Longmuir was compelled, by the state of his health, to withdraw in some measure from the supervision of the work. The Publisher was fortunate in securing the services of D.Donaldson, Esq., F.E.I.S., Editor of "The Troy Book" in the Early English d104 Society's Series, whose extensive knowledge of Scottish literature, and experience as a student of Philology, specially qualify him for the work.
