THE BRIGADIER1 I READER, dost thou know those small manors of the gentry in which our great Russian Ukraina abounded thirty years ago? Now they are rarely to be met with, and ten years hence the last of them will, probably, have vanished without a trace. A pond with a stream running through it, all overgrown with willowbushes and reeds, the delight of scurrying ducks, which are now and then joined by a cautious "teal"; beyond the pond a garden with linden alleys, that beauty and honour of our Black Earth prairies, with beds weed-choked of "Spanish" strawberries, with dense thickets of gooseberry, currant, and raspberry bushes, amid which, in the languid hour of motionless midday heat, the gayhued kerchief of a house-serf maiden will inevitably be gleaming, and her piercing voice will be ringing. There, also, is the little storehouse, on props,2 a small greenhouse, a wretched vegetable 1 This military rank, between colonel and general, established by Peter the Great, was abolished by Paul I.--Translator. 2 Literally, on chickens' legs; like the favourite revolving hut of the Baba Yaga, or witch, in the national fairy-tales.--Translator. garden, with a flock of sparrows on the fence, and a squatting cat near the ruined well; farther on are gnarled apple-trees over tall grass, green below and grey above, spindling cherry-trees, and pear-trees, on which there is never any fruit; then flower-beds with flowers--poppies, peonies, heart's-ease,1 spider-lilies, "maids in green" (wood-sorrel), bushes of Tatar honeysuckle, wild jasmine, lilacs, and acacia, with an incessant hum of bees and bumblebees in their thick, fragrant, sticky branches; and the narrow sashes, with a sloping, never-painted roof, with a small veranda from which the jug

Download or read book Destination Normandy written by G. H. Bennett and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cross-section of the American experience on D-Day Unique perspective from the regimental level that also integrates strategic and tactical considerations Stories of largely forgotten acts of valor G. H. Bennett collects oral histories from the soldiers of three American regiments and weaves them into an intimate account of the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. Widely scattered during its drop into Normandy, the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (82nd Airborne Division) stopped the advance of an SS division. The untested 116th Infantry Regiment (29th Infantry Division) landed on bloody Omaha Beach, where it suffered more casualties than any other regiment that day. Meanwhile, the 22nd Infantry Regiment (4th Infantry Division) easily waded ashore on Utah Beach but faced savage fighting as it moved inland.

Download or read book Boxing written by Kasia Boddy and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, potters, sculptors, painters, poets, novelists, cartoonists, song-writers, photographers, and filmmakers have recorded and tried to make sense of boxing. From Daniel Mendoza to Mike Tyson, boxers have embodied and enacted our anxieties about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. In her encyclopedic investigation of the shifting social, political, and cultural resonances of this most visceral of sports, Kasia Boddy throws new light on an elemental struggle for dominance whose weapons are nothing more than fists. Looking afresh at everything from neoclassical sculpture to hip-hop lyrics, Boddy explores the ways in which the history of boxing has intersected with the history of mass media. Boddy pulls no punches, looking to the work of such diverse figures as Henry Fielding and Spike Lee, Charlie Chaplin and Philip Roth, James Joyce and Mae West, Bertolt Brecht and Charles Dickens in an all-encompassing study that tells us just how and why boxing has mattered so much to so many.
