Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of a Man of Letters, Artists Wives, Etc IN the introduction to T/zirty Years in Pan's, I attempted to present a hasty Sketch of Alphonse Daudet's literary work, as represented by his pub lished books, down to the appearance Of yack in 1876, that being the last of his books whose history is printed in that volume. He tells us that he was already at work on The Nabob, when a chance suggestion from Gustave Droz led him to lay it aside for the moment and set about writing a novel founded upon the story Of his unhappy friend Raoul. On that day, he says, in the history Of yack, laying aside le Nabob, which was already in process Of construction, I started off upon this fresh scent with a feverish haste, a trembling at the ends Of the fingers, which seizes me at the beginning and end of all my books. And in the youmal des Goncourt, under date Of Sunday, March 21, 1876, Edmond de Goncourt writes: During our long walk I talked with Daudet of the novel he has in his head, in which he intends to introduce Morny incidentally.

Download or read book Spike Milligan Man of Letters written by Spike Milligan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spike Milligan's letters contain some of the best material he ever wrote . . . Collected here for the first time are the funniest, rudest and most revealing of them - most of which have never been seen before - from one of the greatest comics of the twentieth century to some of its most famous politicians, actors, celebrities and rock stars (as well as a host of unlikely individuals on some surprising subjects): - rounded teabags ('what did you do with the corners?') - backless hospital gowns ('beyond my comprehension') - heartfelt apologies ('pardon me for being alive') and the imbalance of male and female ducks in London's parks. Here, then, is the real Spike Miligan: obsessive, rude, generous and relentlessly witty. 'Milligan's zaniness shines through' Telegraph 'The godfather of alternative comedy' Eddie Izzard Spike Milligan was one of the greatest and most influential comedians of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1918, he served in the Royal Artillery during WWII in North Africa and Italy. At the end of the war, he forged a career as a jazz musician, sketch-show writer and performer, before joining forces with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe to form the legendary Goon Show. Until his death in 2002, he had success as on stage and screen and as the author of over eighty books of fiction, memoir, poetry, plays, cartoons and children's stories.

Download or read book In Their Letters in Their Words written by Mark Flotow and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital lifeline to home during the Civil War, the letters of soldiers to their families and friends remain a treasure for those seeking to connect with and understand the most turbulent period of American history. Rather than focus on the experiences of a few witnesses, this impressively researched book documents 165 Illinois Civil War soldiers’ and sailors’ lives through the lens of their personal letters. Editor Mark Flotow chose a variety of letter writers who hailed from counties throughout the state, served in different branches of the military at different ranks, and represented the gamut of social experiences and war outcomes. Flotow provides extensive quotations from the letters. By allowing the soldiers to speak for themselves, he captures what mattered most to them. Illinois soldiers wrote about their reasons for enlisting; the nature of training and duties; necessities like eating, sleeping, marching, and making the best of often harsh and chaotic circumstances; Southern culture; slavery; their opinions of commanding officers and the president; disease, medicine, and hospitals; their prisoner-of-war experiences; and the ways they left the army. Through letters from afar, many soldiers sought to manage their homes and farms, while some single men attempted to woo their sweethearts. Flotow includes brief biographies for each soldier quoted in the book, weaves historical context and analysis with the letters, and organizes them by topic. Thus, intimate details cited in individual letters reveal their significance for those who lived and shaped this tumultuous era. The result is not only insightful history but also compelling reading.
