Download or read book Monsieur Proust s Library written by Anka Muhlstein and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand. Everybody in his work reads: servants and masters, children and parents, artists and physicians. The more sophisticated characters find it natural to speak in quotations. Proust made literary taste a means of defining personalities and gave literature an actual role to play in his novels. In this wonderfully entertaining book, scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein, the author of Balzac’s Omelette, draws out these themes in Proust's work and life, thus providing not only a friendly introduction to the momentous In Search of Lost Time, but also exciting highlights of some of the finest work in French literature.

Download or read book The Sun Climbs Slow written by Erna Paris and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2008 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Erna Paris, the award-winning author of Long Shadows, explores the history of global justice, the politics behind America's opposition to the creation of a permanent international criminal court and the implications for the world at large. At the end of the twentieth century, two extraordinary events took place. The first was the end of the Cold War, which left the world with a single empire that dominated world affairs with a ready fist. The second event was the birth of the International Criminal Court--the first permanent tribunal of its kind. The ICC prosecutes crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. Its mandate is to confront impunity and demand accountability for the worst crimes known. On March 11, 2003, eighty-nine countries came together to inaugurate the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Yet there was one country conspicuously absent from the proceedings. The United States, once a reluctant supporter of the court, had dramatically unsigned the treaty prior to its ratification, and made it clear that the ICC's mandate was not in alignment with American values and goals. In this riveting exposé. Erna Paris explores the difficult birth of the ICC and the American oppositions to the court. In doing so, she comes face to face with such fascinating characters as Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the former prosecutor of the "Dirty War" in Argentina, who is now the ICC's chief prosecutor Hans-Pater Kaul, the German judge whose pain over his country's Nazi past propelled him to move his country to the heart of the struggle for criminal accountability int he face of genocide; the American Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, John Bolton, who spearheaded the American crusade against the court; human rights activist Michael Ratner, a champion of those whose rights were taken away in the post 9/11 justice system of the United States; and former American Secretary of State Robert McNamara, who was the architect of US involvement during the Vietnam War, and who now supports the International Criminal Court.
Download or read book The Communist Manifesto Selected Writings written by Karl Marx and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This edition contains the most salient extracts from Marx's great work, selected and introduced by Hugh Griffith. Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, first printed just before the French revolution of 1848, is his most accessible and famous work. In his powerful call to arms, Marx expounds his famous theory that class struggle is the real determinant of historical change. Next in this volume comes his treatise, Wages, Price and Profit, written in 1865, which serves as an accessible introduction to the ideas which Marx went on to develop in Capital, his masterful, multi-volume analysis of how the world was irreversibly changed by the industrial revolution. Whilst old-style Marxism is now dead and buried, today's conflicts within capitalism are as sharp as ever and Marx’s brilliant, painstaking writings remain incredibly relevant.
Download or read book Victor Lustig written by Christopher Sandford and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period after the First World War was a golden age for the confidence man. 'A new kind of entrepreneur is stirring amongst us,' The Times wrote in 1919. 'He is prone to the most detestable tactics, and is a stranger to charity and public spirit. One may nonetheless note his acuity in separating others from their money.' Enter Victor Lustig (not his real name). An Austro-Hungarian with a dark streak, by the age of 16 he had learned how to hustle at billiards and lay odds at the local racecourse. By 19 he had acquired a livid facial scar in an altercation with a jealous husband. That blemish aside, he was a man of athletic good looks, with a taste for larceny and foreign intrigue. He spoke six languages and went under nearly as many aliases in the course of a continent-hopping life that also saw him act as a double (or possibly triple) agent. Along the way, he found time to dupe an impressive variety of banks and hotels on both sides of the Atlantic; to escape from no fewer than three supposedly impregnable prisons; and to swindle Al Capone out of thousands of dollars, while living to tell the tale. Undoubtedly the greatest of his hoaxes was the sale, to a wealthy but gullible Parisian scrap-metal dealer, of the Eiffel Tower in 1925. In a narrative that thrills like a crime caper, best-selling biographer Christopher Sandford draws on newly released documents to tell the whole story of the greatest conman of the twentieth century.
