In time, Lizzie grew restless, aching for that more opulent life-to reside on the Hill in a big house amongst her peers and Fall River's finest families.To her, father's riches was forbidden treasure dangling just beyond her reach-quarantined by a frugal patriarch, unable or unwilling to change his scrimping ways. Unfortunately, Andrew Jackson Borden had no intention of moving to the Hill and abandoning the home he had purchased for his second wife, nor spending the money he had worked so hard for all his life. Getting on in age, he was now planning a last will and testament to give it all away-to his wife, her stepmother.On a sultry August morning, in the naked light of day, Andrew and his elderly wife were brutally hacked and senselessly murdered. Finding the killer was no easy task. Soon the roving finger of guilt pointed at Lizzie. But she loved her father. He meant everything to her. The gold ring she had lovingly given him and that he always wore spoke to as much. Lizzie Andrew Borden would never have harmed the old fellow.

Book excerpt: “Nicole Galland is exceptionally well versed in the fine nuances of storytelling.” —St. Petersburg Times “Galland has an exceptional gift.” —Neal Stephenson The critically acclaimed author of The Fool's Tale, Nicole Galland now approaches William Shakespeare's classic drama of jealousy, betrayal, and murder from the opposite side.

This is Iago as you've never known him, his past and influences breathtakingly illuminated, in a fictional reexamination that explores the eternal question: is true evil the result of nature versus nurture...or something even more complicated?

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.
