The story uncovers some interesting aspects of the man-woman relationship while shedding light on the social life and customs of NY in the 20th century. Excerpt: "By Jove, there's Beatrix Vanderdyke!" "Why not?" "What on earth is she doing in New York at this time of year?" There was a laugh and a shrug. "If it comes to that, my dear fellow, what on earth are we doing in New York at this time of year? Anyway, I'm not interested." "I am. She's with that unpleasant brute, Sutherland York again. I wish to Heaven she wouldn't go about with a second-rate portrait painter who only gets commissions by licking people's boots, or any other man, for the matter of that, at this time of night."

Download or read book The Seychelles Affair written by Mike Hoare and published by . This book was released on 2025-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of the Seychelles Affair began in 1978 when representatives of the exiled Seychelles president approached legendary mercenary commander Mike Hoare - who had successfully quelled the uprisings in the Congo in the early 1960s - to help overthrow the Marxist regime then in power. The coup was to take place in 1981, with Hoare's band of men disguised as a rugby club on board a flight to the Seychelles - AK-47s hidden in the bottom of their luggage. What happened when they arrived has gone down as one of the most astonishing events in the history of mercenary warfare. Hoare's eyewitness account of his escapades reads like a thriller, detailing the backroom scheming, the tense action at the airport on Mahé, the forced landing of the Air India Boeing and the subsequent escape of Hoare's band of mercenaries. The book also details their eventual capture and time spent in the South African prison, and their prosecution by those who had helped them prepare for the coup. This updated edition of this classic work is essential reading for anyone interested in mercenary warfare and military history.

Download or read book The Foundling written by Edward Moore and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Finally available to modern scholars, this book is the first critical edition of these two plays by Edward Moore. The success of the initial run of Moore's sentimental comedy The Foundling (1748) was due in part to its cast, which included Susannah Maria Cibber and David Garrick, and the play continued to enjoy moderate success on the London stage. It remained popular among critics throughout the eighteenth century and was reprinted and performed regularly in the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, as the most important and the best sentimental comedy of the mid-eighteenth century, it has been generally accepted by literary historians as the bridge between the comedies of Colley Cibber and Richard Steele in the first part of the century and those of Hugh Kelly and Richard Cumberland in the last. The initial run of Moore's domestic tragedy The Gamester(1753), with Garrick in the title role, was also largely successful. From its first revival in 1771 to its last in 1871, the play was performed by Britain's finest actors and actresses - and performed more frequently on the London stage than any other Restoration or eighteenth-century tragedy." "Anthony Amberg's introduction discusses the sources and composition, production, publication and reception, and final revision of both plays. The text of The Foundling is based on Moore's holograph manuscript, that of The Gamester on the first edition. In both the author's spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and italicization have been retained, and both have been provided with full textual and explanatory notes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Faith Factor written by Edoardo S. Miciano and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible says that "the just shall live by faith." Yet too many professional religionists fail to cross over from mere intellectual ascent to a life of total surrender to God and his will. In his exposition of Hebrews 11, Miciano explores the tales of men and women in the Bible who have lived lives of exceptional faith. Each story compels us to rethink what we know about God's ways and stretches our understanding of what it means to live according to what we believe. The Faith Factor offers fresh insight on how people today can enrich their spiritual lives by applying the timeless truths of Scripture to everyday life in the modern world.
