Book excerpt: —Leadership is the ability to convince followers to fight and die to enhance the leader's wealth and power. A disastrous encounter with the Danes injures Roger Martel, a Carolingian knight, and strands him on the western shore of Britannia. As a result of his leaders' incompetence, he loses faith in Kings, Emperors, and other great Lairds and resolves never to return to the Carolingian Empire. After he recovers, he tracks east, instead, to find his old battle companion Drogo. He finds Drogo in the Valley of Strathnith where the old knight has taken up the defense of a small community against Viking invaders. Never one to avoid a fight, Roger joins them and soon finds himself accepted as the leader. Reluctantly, he takes the job while telling himself that he does so only to protect his friends, not become a great Laird himself. Unfortunately, wealth and power are seductive. "Plus que nous avons, plus que nous voulons. The more we have, the more we want."—Roger Martel Marked by Thor is a Rogue Knight alternate history adventure that takes place in 816, two years after the death of Charlemagne.

Download or read book The Poetaster or His Arraignment written by Ben Jonson and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Poetaster, or His Arraignment" by Ben Jonson is a satirical comedy that lampoons the literary and theatrical scene of Jacobean London. Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the rivalry between two poets, Horace and Crispinus, who vie for fame and recognition in the court of Emperor Augustus. Jonson uses the characters of Horace and Crispinus to satirize contemporary figures in the London literary world, including himself and his fellow playwrights. Through witty dialogue and biting humor, Jonson skewers the pretensions and vanities of those involved in the arts, as well as the political intrigues of the time. At the heart of the play is the character of Tucca, a swaggering braggart who serves as a parody of the Elizabethan stage clown. Tucca's antics add to the play's comedic elements and provide a colorful contrast to the more serious themes of artistic integrity and cultural criticism.

Book excerpt: Agitated and angry that Anya should hold such sway over his sister, Darcy summons her to the balcony. In biting words he denounces her, whereupon she slaps him hard across the face. "The one advantage of my sex is the freedom to strike a man with impunity." But the enmity between them is superficial and cannot long endure. Later that night, Darcy will abandon all propriety and come close to ravishing the beautiful young woman. An Englishman of wealth and status could never compromise his social position by marrying a woman with a scandalous past. Darcy must have Anya the only way possible. When he is certain she loves him, he asks her to accept his offer. However, the friendship between Anya and Darcy's sister complicates the matter. "What of Georgiana? Will you allow your sister to visit your mistress?" The appearance of a rival forces a decision, and Darcy takes Anya as his wife. Finally, this willful woman must submit to him. Without doubt, the marriage will prove to be as tempestuous as the courtship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Thirty Years Since; or, The Ruined Family. A Tale' by G. P. R. James, the reader is transported to the early 19th century England, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and familial bonds. James' writing style is characterized by intricate plot developments, vivid descriptions of the social norms of the time, and compelling character interactions. The book's narrative, set against the backdrop of a ruined family seeking redemption, engages with the burgeoning concerns of class struggle and societal expectations in the Victorian era. Through nuanced storytelling and dynamic dialogues, James crafts a timeless tale that continues to resonate with readers today. G. P. R. James, a prolific writer of historical fiction, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a lawyer and politician to infuse his work with a deep understanding of human nature and societal dynamics. His insights into the complexities of relationships and the consequences of personal choices are evident throughout the narrative. I recommend 'Thirty Years Since; or, The Ruined Family. A Tale' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of love, duty, and honor in a historical context, as well as those who appreciate masterful storytelling and rich character development.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most cities are hateful; and, without any disposition to "babble about green fields," it must be owned that each is more or less detestable. Nevertheless, amongst them all, there is none to be compared as a whole to London;--none which comprehends within itself, from various causes, so much of the sublime in every sort. Whether we consider its giant immensity of expanse--the wonderful intricacy of its internal structure--the miraculous harmony of its discrepant parts--the grand amalgamation of its different orders, classes, states, pursuits, professions--the mighty aggregate of hopes, wishes, endeavours, joys, successes, fears, pangs, disappointments, crimes, and punishments, that it contains--its relative influence on the world at large--or the vehement pulse with which that "mighty heart" sends the flood of circulation through this beautiful land--we shall find that that most wonderful microcosm well deserves the epithet sublime. To view it rightly--if we wish to view it with the eye of a philosopher--we should choose perhaps the hour which is chosen by the most magnificent and extraordinary of modern poets, and gaze upon it when the sun is just beginning to pour his first red beams through the dim and loaded air, when that vast desert of brick and mortar, that interminable wilderness of spires and chimneys, looks more wide, and endless, and solemn, than when the eye is distracted by the myriads of mites that creep about it in the risen day. It may be asked, perhaps, who is there that ever saw it at that hour, except the red-armed housemaid, washing the morning step, and letting in the industrious thief, to steal the greatcoats from the hall; or the dull muffin-man, who goes tinkling his early bell through the misty streets of the wintry morning? Granted, that neither of these--nor the sellers of early purl--nor the venders of saloop and cocoa--nor Covent Garden market-women--nor the late returners from the finish--nor he who starts up from the doorway, where he has passed the wretched night, to recommence the day's career of crime, and danger, and sorrow--can look upon the vast hive in which they dwell with over-refined feelings; and perhaps, to them, may come home unhappy Shelley's forcible line, "Hell is a city very much like London!" The valetudinarian, too, who wakes with nervous punctuality to swallow down the morning draught, prescribed by courtly Henry's bitter-covering skill, may curse the cats that, perched upon the tiles, salute their lady-loves with most discordant cries, and keep him from repose; and, with all the virulence of Despréaux, may exclaim upon the many hateful sounds of a town morning. But besides all these, there are sometimes persons, who, rising five hours before their usual time, come forth in all the freshness of the early day, stimulated by the vast effort that roused them from their beds, proud of a successful endeavour to get up, and excited by the novelty of the circumstance and the scene, and who rush on, admiring all the beauties as they go to take their places in the gay stage-coach.
