Download or read book The Deluge written by Henryk Sienkiewicz and published by LA CASE Books. This book was released on 1897 with total page 2591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six years after the events of With Fire and Sword the Polish Commonwealth has recovered from the earlier bloody wars against the Cossacks and the Crimean Khanate, but the King is being kept busy by skirmishes on the Russian border. Unfortunately for the Commonwealth, this wealthy land is all too tempting for the Swedish king Karl Gustav who sweeps in to claim his prize, forcing soldiers and nobles to reconsider where their loyalties truly lie. This backdrop allows the impetuous Pan Andrei Kmita to demonstrate all sides of his loyalty and recklessness, even at the expense of his comrades and his fiancée Panna Aleksandra Billevich. The Deluge is the second book in Henryk Sienkiewicz’s trilogy of novels dealing with a series of wars in seventeenth-century Poland. Written two years after With Fire and Sword, it was serialized in the newspaper that Sienkiewicz was editor-in-chief of, and started to cement his reputation as an novelist. Throughout the Trilogy Sienkiewicz weaves historical events and people with fictional characters and stories to great effect; this mastery of the historical epic went on to earn him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905.

Book excerpt: A searing and highly original analysis of the First World War and its anguished aftermath—from the prizewinning economist and author of Shutdown, Crashed and The Wages of Destruction Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize - History Finalist for the Kirkus Prize - Nonfiction In the depths of the Great War, with millions dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. The heart of the financial system shifted from London to New York. The infinite demands for men and matériel reached into countries far from the front. The strain of the war ravaged all economic and political assumptions, bringing unheard-of changes in the social and industrialorder. A century after the outbreak of fighting, Adam Tooze revisits this seismic moment in history, challenging the existing narrative of the war, its peace, and its aftereffects. From the day the United States enters the war in 1917 to the precipice of global financial ruin, Tooze delineates the world remade by American economic and military power. Tracing the ways in which countries came to terms with America’s centrality—including the slide into fascism—The Deluge is a chilling work of great originality that will fundamentally change how we view the legacy of World War I.

Download or read book The Deluge written by Kennedy Trevaskis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Kennedy Trevaskis was the last High Commissioner of South Arabia - a role he held from 1963-1965, which provided the pinnacle of his career and yet also his ultimate failure. Trevaskis's imperial credentials were impeccable. He was a District Officer in Northern Rhodesia, followed by service in the Rhodesian Regiment in World War II, District Commissioner in the British Administered Eritrea after Italy's defeat, and finally High Commissioner in South Arabia and Aden colony. But here the British ambition to set up the Federation of South Arabia with Aden was ultimately frustrated by the rise of Arab nationalism and the British Labour government's decision to withdraw `East of Suez'. The Deluge is the memoir of a glittering career ending in ultimate failure and ignominy, but full of incident, humour and irreverence. Published for the first time, and with an extensive introduction by Wm. Roger Louis, this unique account sheds significant light on British foreign and imperial policy in the post-war era and particularly the end of empire in the Middle East.

Download or read book Deluge written by Luther Butler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-10-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DELUGE is a continuation of the two part Biblical series following DEATH RODE A WHITE HORSE. Noah, the descendent of Adam and Eve, has built the Ark. A user of alcoholic drinks, the sinful citizens of Ur fail to take his message seriously. The trickster, Lucifer, wants to make Creator angry enough to make him destroy his own people. Ham, third son of Noah, saves Jezebel from the flood. When the two have a son, Canaan, Noah puts a curse on the lad. Also saved from drowning are the descendents of ben-Able who are high in the Kargos Mountains with their animals. The current ben-Able risks the wrath of his people by forcing them to go higher up the mountain than the people and animals can safely go. Eventually ben-Able and his people join up with Hams family and head for Canaan to plant Creators people near the holy city of Jerusalem. DELUGE brings the Biblical characters into sometime hilarious situations when Lucifer and Creator and their followers pit their wits against each other. Lucifer not only destroys Creators people, but the flood reaches to Canaan and destroys Lucifers people. Lucifer is forced to save Ham in order to have people descending from Jezebel. While Lucifer takes the bodies of fish, fowl, and animals to save Ham and Jezebel, Creator and Gabriel soar above the flood in their chariot. This version of the Bible has a science fiction affect mixed with comedy, tragedy, and some very serious moments.
