It features young Russian landowner Dimitry Sanin, who falls madly in love for the first time while visiting Frankfurt, Germany, and is mostly autobiographical in character.

This discovery transports him back in time to 1840 by thirty years. The piece, which is presented as a memory, centers on the thoughts of middle-aged and weary Sanin on his earlier love affair with young Italian woman Gemma. Sanin suddenly fell under the spell of an older Russian woman and was enthralled by her, despite the fact that she voluntarily ended her engagement with another man and announced her love for him. He shamefully ended their relationship with Gemma in order to pursue the cunning Madame Polozov, but now that he is older and wiser, he is wondering what he missed.

223,95 kr. The Red Planet is a study of bravery, cowardice, fear, and heroism. The story is told by Duncan Meredyth, a former English officer, and is set in a small town close to London during World War I. A high-explosive round that destroyed his legs and one of Merigold's eyes forced him and his devoted servant out of the battle. The author skillfully paints a picture of English humor, human resiliency, and national hardship in order to tell Leonard Boyce's narrative against that backdrop. A guy who appears to be heroic, he occasionally has attacks of uncontrollable, paralyzing dread, which leads him to permit disasters to occur that might have been avoided or changed at crucial points in his life. The book describes his failures and successes throughout his life as he battles that flaw. It will be difficult to forget Meredyth, Marigold, and Betty Fairfax since they are all portrayed so effectively. This book provides fascinating and realistic insight into living in England during the war.

The plot of the novel, according to a 1909 accusation made by Danish schoolteacher Valdemar Thoresen in an essay published in the magazine Maaneds, was lifted verbatim from Steen Blicher's short story The Vicar of Weilby. Twain's secretary sent a note to Mr. Thoresen explaining that Mr. Clemens had not read the book you mentioned or any translations or adaptations of it that he was aware of. Blicher's work had been translated into German but not English. Twain/Clemens had the same right to utilize the subject matter as Blicher because it predated Blicher (the 1626 trial of Pastor Sren Jensen Quist of Vejlby).

Chesterton which has a beginning of the popular histories are all, nearly without exception, written against the people, and in them, the populace is either ignored or elaborately proved to have been wrong. Green's "A Short History of the English People" seems to have been thought too short for the people to be properly mentioned. There is much in contemporary literature for portraits of men like Henry II. or Edward I, but this did not seem to have been found or even sought. A popular Encyclopedia appeared some years ago, professing among other things to teach English History to the masses. It would be absurd to pretend to have achieved proportion, but the author will confess to some attempt to correct a disproportion. English history is misread especially, he thinks because the crisis is missed. It is usually put about the period of the Stuarts, and many of the memorials suffer from the same visitation. The House of Commons became, for good or evil, a great organ of government, surviving the Church, the monarchy, and the mob; it did many great and not a few good things.

It's not their narrative; it's his. Gerald has modernized the pit and dehumidified the employees since his father before him was too lenient with the guys, and he has nothing but contempt for their efforts to exert authority.They make an effort each day. They lack the intellect to run contemporary business, hence they could never do it. They are not intelligent living forms. The owners might not have much, but Labour does not. They are merely mechanical cubes that can do one or two moves before being finished. They are as ignorant of life as a lawnmower.The villain is unmistakably the Labour representative, Job Arthur Freer, who cosies up to Gerald in secret and joyfully accepts a pocketful of pricey cigars before turning on his master after receiving a pounding from him.The third and final act will inevitably have a final confrontation. When it did, nothing noteworthy happened, and the play abruptly ended as if there had been a curfew on the theatre and the time had run out. Oliver, a friend of Gerald's, did give a rambling speech about Capital and Labour battling over the same stick, but it was essentially meaningless.

168,95 kr. A happy and innocent people who were primarily shepherds and farmers formerly resided on an island. Not in an idolatrous manner, but rather as the golden crown of the deity that all such children perceive almost as clearly as the sun, they worshipped the sun. They devised a beautiful Gothic-style cathedral under the new inspiration. But this brilliant scheme was never completely carried out. People who view schoolchildren as just barbaric and wooden make the error of forgetting how much of schoolchildren's lives are public and ceremonial.Like dogs, boys have a romantic ritual that doesn't necessarily reflect who they are. Therefore, the notion that a little aversion to tourist attractions is caused by a fundamental mismatch between the concepts of unique shrines and awards must be rejected. The Duc de Chambertin-Pommard was a little but vibrant remnant of an aristocratic family, whose members were almost exclusively atheists until the French Revolution. The Sentimentalist and the Imperialist of the Roosevelt school sway back and forth between them. He wants the benefits of achievement without the risks or the best of both worlds. Asia may be held as a slave by Europe, but this is not acceptable since it would be irresponsible. However, he made sure that Dickens was countered with the appropriate caution and criticism.

The well-known American Baptist clergyman, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and author Russell Conwell explains how prosperity is a spiritual notion and the outcome of one's spiritual beliefs in the current book, Acres of Diamonds. This book demonstrates where to seek to find a fortune. Conwell created opportunities for countless millions of people because he had the belief that ""all good things are achievable."" Acres of Diamonds is a reflection of his fundamental conviction that every one of us is here on Earth primarily to be of service to others. Conwell was a preacher who founded two hospitals where no one has ever turned away due to financial hardship, as well as Temple University. He was a well-known professor as well.The main plot concerns a Persian farmer who, ironically, lost a sizable amount of money while searching for a diamond mine when, in fact, his farmland-which he had sold to pay for his search-actually contained acres of diamonds. Conwell provides several further instances of tales centered around commodities like gold, oil, etc. Remember that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and don't dismiss your current situation, knowledge, and connections too fast. Despite some rambling, it's still a fantastic narrative with a timeless moral.
