Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of a Brother The real fact is, that nations, and the families of which rations are composed, make no parade or fuss over that part of their affairs which is going right. National life depends on home life, and foreign critics are inclined to take the chronicles of our Divorce Court as a test by which to judge the standard of our home life, like the old gentleman who always spelt through the police reports to see what the people were about. An acquaintance, however, with any average English neighbourhood, or any dozen English families taken at random, ought to be sufficient to reassure the faint-hearted, and to satisfy them that (to use the good old formula) the Lord has much work yet for this nation to do, and the nation manliness and godliness enough left to do it all, notwithstanding superficial appearances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hugh Memoirs of a Brother Moreover, his family affection was very strong; when he became a Catholic, we all of us felt, including himself, that there might be a certain separation, not of affection, but of occupations and interests; and he himself took very great care to avoid this, with the happy result that we saw him, I truly believe, more often and more intimately than even before. Indeed, my own close companionship with him really began when he came first as a Roman Catholic to Cambridge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brother Sister: A Memoir and the Letters The Memoir of Henriette Renan, which precedes her correspondence with her brother, is the exact reproduction of a pamphlet of which Ernest Renan had a hundred copies printed in September 1862 under the title, "Henriette Renan: A Memorial for those who knew her."

In 1883 Ernest Renan thus expressed himself in the Preface to his "Souvenirs d'Enfance et de Jeunesse" - "The person who has had most influence on my life - my sister Henriette - scarcely appears in this work of mine. A year after the death of that beloved being, in September 1862, wrote a little pamphlet, consecrated to her memory, for the benefit of the few who had known her. A hundred copies only were printed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brothers Wiffen: Memoirs and Miscellanies Roads, so must it be deemed meritorious to pro vide shelters for the combatants in the intervals of the Battle of Life The wear and tear of mind and heart need the solace of quiet sympathiz ing thought. Such will be found in the lives and writings of the two Brothers here presented: men whose pursuits, though not dazzling to their fellow travellers, were yet connected with the real progress of society, as well as its quiet enjoyments; for we agree with Mr. Carlyle, who says, that man's function is not to taste sweet things, but to do noble and true things. The reader will find the two Wiffens to have been men whose deep and yet wide views, and graceful thoughts, in advance of their generation in their own society, are worthy of permanent record for the future use and pleasure.

Download or read book Brothers and Keepers written by John Edgar Wideman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A rare triumph” (The New York Times Book Review), this powerful memoir about the divergent paths taken by two brothers is a classic work from one of the greatest figures in American literature: a reflection on John Edgar Wideman’s family and his brother’s incarceration—a classic that is as relevant now as when originally published in 1984. A “brave and brilliant” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) portrait of lives arriving at different destinies, the classic John Edgar Wideman memoir, Brothers and Keepers, is a haunting portrait of two brothers—one an award-winning writer, the other a fugitive wanted for a robbery that resulted in a murder. Wideman recalls the capture of his younger brother, Robby, details the subsequent trials that resulted in a sentence of life in prison, and provides vivid views of the American prison system. A gripping, unsettling account, Brothers and Keepers weighs the bonds of blood, affection, and guilt that connect Wideman and his brother and measures the distance that lies between them. “If you care at all about brotherhood and dignity…this is a must-read book” (The Denver Post). With a new afterword by his brother Robert Wideman, recently released after more than fifty years in prison.

Download or read book Love of Brothers Classic Reprint written by Katharine Tynan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love of Brothers Patsy Kenny was looking for the goat, she having broken her tether. He had been driven forth by his fierce old grandfather with threats of the most awful nature if he should return without the goat. The tears were not yet dry on Patsy's small face. He had kneaded them in with his knuckles, but the smears caused by the process were not visible in the moonlight, even if there had been any one to see them. It was not only the hardship of being driven out when the meal of hot potatoes was on the table, to search for that ould divil of a goat, and his sense of the injustice which had put the blame of the goat's straying on to his narrow shoulders. The old, in Patsy's knowledge of them, were crabbed and unjust. That was something for the young to take in the day's work. It was Patsy's fears of the supernatural that kept him creeping along in the shadow of the hedge, now and again stopping to weep a little over his troubles, or to listen fearfully like a frightened hare before going on again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

It was a blustering December day, - no snow to lay the dust or to allay the cold with its bright reflections; and Winter himself seemed shivering, despoiled of his ermine cloak. In that very spirit in which some people seek out the worst side of human nature, the wind careered about, - picked up all the dust and straws it could find, and showered them upon the heads of innocent and well dressed people. Not exclusively, to be sure, - the wind was impartial in its bestowings; but if mischief may be measured by the trouble it gives and the effects it leaves behind it, then did "the upper ten" get more than their share that day.
