Download or read book Memoirs Of The War In Spain From 1808 To 1814 written by Marshal Louis-Gabriel Suchet, Duc d'Albufera and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If I had had two Marshals like Suchet I should not only have conquered Spain, but have kept it." This was the measured and just opinion of Marshal Suchet. Out of the graveyard for reputation that Spain became for the French generals, Marshal Suchet’s ability, aplomb and shrewdness gained him the unique distinction of being awarded his marshal’s dignity to his services in Spain. In his memoirs of the War in Spain, he recounts his experiences with honesty, balance and verve. His exciting battle narratives are interspersed with his expert appreciations of the situation as the Peninsular slipped from French grasp and the often acrimonious relations between the French commanders. With the fanatical resistance of the Spanish people, a lack of co-ordination, few supplies and growing British pressure, the achievement of Suchet under such circumstances is truly brilliant. A humble and moderate man, Suchet wrote his memoirs as he commanded in the field, with dash, brilliance, balance and poise. A fine addition to the library of anyone interested in the Peninsular War. Author —Marshal Suchet, Louis-Gabriel, Duc d'Albufera, 1770-1826 Translator — Anon. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London: H. Colburn, 1829.

Book excerpt: HIS RESTLESS HEART BEAT TO A RHYTHM OF ITS OWN- a rhythm that had once been so prevalent in the core of his soul, but had long been lost under the thick layers of routine, expectation, and responsibility created by a quiet, civilized life. Konrad Quintero de Leon, a young American man, having just returned home to New York after his schooling at Oxford University, decides to venture west to rediscover that lost rhythm and peel off the layers that have muffled it for so long. Set in the 1840s, some of America's most restless years, Konrad begins an endless journey in search of his own "manifest destiny." He embarks on a westward expedition with the famous explorer John C. Fremont and legendary mountain man Kit Carson. He roams the wild Texas frontier with the Texas Rangers and fights in the bloody Battle of Monterrey under the command of General Zachary Taylor. But the life of a restless wanderer is not an easy one, as Konrad discovers when he falls in love with the beautiful and exciting Anastasia Carriere-the fiancée of another man. He is cast into a desperate battle where he must choose between the woman he loves and the adventure that he craves.
Download or read book The Human Comedy written by Honoré de Balzac and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 10898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Comedy is the title of Honoré de Balzac's multi-volume collection of interlinked novels and stories depicting French society in the period of the Restoration (1815–1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848). Balzac organized his works into 3 groups: "Etudes de Moeurs au XIXe siècle" (Studies of Manners in the 19th Century) + "Etudes philosophiques" + "Etudes analytiques". Balzac wrote that the "Etudes de Moeurs" would study the effects of society and touch on all genders, social classes, ages and professions of people. Meanwhile, the "Etudes philosophiques" would study the causes of these effects. Finally, the third "analytical" section would study the principles behind these phenomena.
