What happens when an army spends over a year silently digging beneath enemy lines, packing underground chambers with one million pounds of high explosives, and detonating them all at the exact same moment? The Battle of Messines in 1917 unleashed a man-made earthquake so violent it was physically felt by the Prime Minister in London, 130 miles away.To break the brutal stalemate of the Western Front, British, Canadian, and Australian tunneling companies engaged in a terrifying, claustrophobic subterranean war against German counter-miners. Deep within the blue clay of the Messines Ridge, they placed 19 massive mines directly beneath the German fortifications. At 3:10 AM on June 7, the mines were detonated simultaneously. The blast instantly vaporized over 10,000 German soldiers and completely obliterated the ridge, allowing Allied infantry to easily seize their objectives within hoursa rare, flawless tactical victory in a war defined by attrition.This gripping historical narrative explores the harrowing logistics of military mining. It documents the psychological terror of digging in absolute silence, the engineering marvel of the deep-shaft tunnels, and the unexploded mines that still sleep beneath the Belgian countryside today.Listen to the echoes of the trenches. The Battle of Messines is a terrifying testament to the sheer, landscape-altering industrial violence of the First World War.

La letteratura enogastronomica e ricca di ricettari che esaltano la ricchezza e la fantasia delle cucine aristocratiche, giunte in una fase di maturita tecnologica. Cucine e ricettari quotidiani, un tempo custoditi nei diari di famiglia, sono sempre piu rari. La comunita monastica di Ausonia seguiva un modello alimentare di tipo mediterraneo ben radicato alle risorse locali, a volte identificate con termini dialettali; emerge tuttavia una raffinata percezione delle festivita durane le quali piu attenta e la scelta di pietanze e dolci. Uno sguardo retrospettivo tra passato e presente.

ROMANCE and the HISTORY of walled cities are inseparable. Who has not felt this to be so at the sight of hoary ruins lichen-clad and ivy-mantled, that proudly rear their battered crests despite the ravages of time and mans destructive instincts. It is within walled cities that the life of civilized man began: the walls guarded him against barbarian foes, behind their shelter he found the security necessary to his cultural development, in their defence he showed his finest qualities. And such a cityand such a history is that of Ancient Byzantium, the City of Constantine, the Castle of Csar.What wonder then that man should endeavour to express by pen and pencil his sense of the greatness and beauty, the Romance of a Walled City such as Constantinople. The more so that a movement is on foot to remove these ancient landmarks of the history of Europe and Asia.True there are other works on this same subject, works by men deeply learned in the history of this fair city, works that bid fair to outlive the city walls if the fell intent of destroying them is carried into execution, and from these men and their works I derived inspiration and information.

The Waves, first published in 1931, is Virginia Woolfs most experimental novel. It consists of soliloquies spoken by the books six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis.Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though readers never hear him speak in his own voice. The soliloquies that span the characters lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset.As the six characters or "voices" speak Woolf explores concepts of individuality, self and community. Each character is distinct, yet together they compose (as Ida Klitgard has put it) a gestalt about a silent central consciousness.The sun had not yet risen. The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrin-kles in it. Gradually as the sky whitened a dark line lay on the hori-zon dividing the sea from the sky and the grey cloth became barred with thick strokes moving, one after another, beneath the surface, following each other, pursuing each other, perpetually.

In consequence, Stephen Blaine handed down to posterity his height of just under six feet and his tendency to waver at crucial moments, these two abstractions appearing in his son Amory. For many years he hovered in the background of his familys life, an unassertive figure with a face half-obliterated by lifeless, silky hair, continually occupied in "taking care" of his wife, continually harassed by the idea that he didnt and couldnt understand her.But Beatrice Blaine! There was a woman! Early pictures taken on her fathers estate at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, or in Rome at the Sacred Heart Conventan educational extravagance that in her youth was only for the daughters of the exceptionally wealthyshowed the exquisite delicacy of her features, the consummate art and simplicity of her clothes.A brilliant education she hadher youth passed in renaissance glory, she was versed in the latest gossip of the Older Roman Families; known by name as a fabulously wealthy American girl to Cardinal Vitori and Queen Mar-gherita and more subtle celebrities that one must have had some culture even to have heard of.
