Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Child I Have understood from a proverb to that effect, that "bachelors' wives and old maids' children" are objects of much scorn to the experience married person and parent; but no one has ever said a word in condemnation of bachelors' children. Another proverb which intimates that lookers-on see most of the game may apparently be applied to their case. A large number of children - the majority, I suppose - confide everything about themselves to their parents, and nothing about their parents or home to anybody else. A certain number of others confide everything about their home and their parents to some outside friend, and regard all their guardians as quaint specimens of natural history, rather liable to bite, most comfortable at a distance, but quite interesting topics for conversation with intimate friends. The former and more common kind of home-life one watches with love and envy, but with no more intimate comprehension than may come from memories of ones own childhood.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's Story of the Greatest Century These are some of the things we owe to the nineteenth century. They are not the whole of them. It has been a century crowded with marvels, full of great events and won derful discoveries. It has had its triumphs of war and its greater triumphs of peace its great warriors and its greater statesmen; its great doers and its greater thinkers. The past centuries were centuries of action more than of thought; this has been a century alike of thought and of action. Man's hands have been busy, but his brain has been busier, and the triumphs of the nineteenth century are the triumphs of the mind. I hope the readers of this little book understand what I have just said. If any part of it is not clear to them they must. Read on to the end to learn what it all means. This book is the story of the lives and acts of the people now liv ing on the earth and of their fathers and grand fathers. It should be of interest to all of us on that account. The story of the nineteenth century is a wonderful one in every way. There is nothing else so wonderful in the history of the world. None of the tales of adventure you may have read are of more interest than the facts of this great century, and I am sure-you will agree with me when you have read this book through. That is all I have to say here. One cannot say every thing in a preface. And none of you, when you are invited to a good dinner, care much to be told what is on the table. You would rather find out for yourselves. So with these few words I throw open the doors of the dining hall, and let you in to the feast of good things which has been prepared for you.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confession of a Child of the Century To write the history of one's life, one must first have lived it and so it is not my own that I write. Having been af icted, while yet young, with an abominable moral malady, I relate what happened to me during three years. If I were the only one sick, I would say nothing about it but as there are many others besides myself, who suffer from the same dis ease, I write for them, while not too sure that they will pay any attention to it 3 for, in case no one should take warning therefrom, I shall still have derived this benefit from my words, that I shall have cured myself more effectually, and, like the fox caught in the trap, I shall have gnawed my captive paw.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of the Child Neither harsh nor tender parents suspect the truth expressed by Carlyle when he said that the marks of a noble and original tempera ment are wild, strong emotions, that must be controlled by a discipline as hard as steel. People either strive to root out passions altogether, or they abstain from teaching the child to get them under control. To suppress the real personality of the child, and to supplant it with another personality continues to be a pedagogical crime common to those who announce loudly that education should only develop the real individual nature of the child. They are still not convinced that egoism on the part of the child is justified. Just as little are they convinced of the possibility that evil can be changed into good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child That was it exactly. Hiram thought it out with a little touch of bitterness before his fire. His mind went away from the old battles and the part he had taken in great events, to a little mound in the yard back of the old church. A child could step over it, yet somehow it always seemed like a mountain to Hiram, standing as it did between what he had hoped for, what he had, and what he had hoped the end of his life would be. Before his fire on this chilly night of early Fall, he was thinking of the Winter to come. How different the house and the farm would be if there were little children asleep upstairs; if one of them could sit beside the dog, or fall asleep beside that big book in mother's lap. He glanced at her as he thought. She had opened her book, and in the dim light was slowly tracing words with her finger. What she read there is the key of this little story, but we shall not find it until we come to the very end. We cannot lock things up until they are completed; we do not use the key at the beginning. For now we have come to our beginning before the fire. Hiram and Mary, busy with their thoughts and their book, did not hear the wheels of Hen Bingham's buggy as it turned in from the road. The driveway was grassy anyway, for few found business that way. It was Hen's old gray horse answering the barn call of Hiram's black that really announced the visitors. The old dog roused himself with a growl, as if ashamed of his deafness and his drowsiness. Mary put aside her book and brought out the lamp, while Hiram, like a soldier who demands the countersign, opened the door and held out his lantern.

The plan of the book has been centered about the lives of five little playmates whose experiences are common to childhood in this age and country.

Download or read book Fantazius Mallare written by Ben Hecht and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FantazusMallare is a tortured artist who is slowly descending into madness. In a search for a muse and aided by a dwarf-monster, Goliath, Mallare tries to make sense of the world of reason versus that of insanity. Since its publication in 1924 and being banned in 1928 by the US Government, the book has achieved a cult status that strips the veneer of sanity, religion, lust and art. DigiCat presents to you the meticulously edited book with all the original black and white illustrations which earned it both its notoriety and praise. Excerpt: "FantaziusMallare considered himself mad because he was unable to behold in the meaningless gesturings of time, space and evolution a dramatic little pantomime adroitly centered about the routine of his existence. He was a silent looking man with black hair and an aquiline nose. His eyes were lifeless because they paid no homage to the world outside him. When he was thirty-five years old he lived alone high above a busy part of the town. He was a recluse. His black hair that fell in a slant across his forehead and the rigidity of his eyes gave him the appearance of a somnambulist. Twenty-twoHe found life unnecessary and submitted to it without curiosity. His ideas were profoundly simple. The excitement of his neighborhood, his city, his country and his world left him unmoved. He found no diversion in interpreting them. A friend had once asked him what he thought of democracy. This was during a great war being waged in its behalf. Mallare replied: "Democracy is the honeymoon of stupidity."
