It was in Reno, Nevada, in the summer of 1892. Also, it was fair-time, and the town was filled with petty crooks and tin-horns, to say nothing of a vast and hungry horde of hoboes. It was the hungry hoboes that made the town a "hungry" town. They "battered" the back doors of the homes of the citizens until the back doors became unresponsive.A hard town for "scoffings," was what the hoboes called it at that time. I know that I missed many a meal, in spite of the fact that I could "throw my feet" with the next one when it came to "slamming a gate for a "poke-out" or a "set-down,""or hitting for a light piece" on the street. Why, I was so hard put in that town, one day, that I gave the porter the slip and invaded the private car of some itinerant millionnaire.The train started as I made the platform, and I headed for the aforesaid millionnaire with the porter one jump behind and reaching for me. It was a dead heat, for I reached the millionnaire at the same instant that the porter reached me. I had no time for formalities. "Gimme a quarter to eat on," I blurted out. And as I live, that millionnaire dipped into his pocket and gave me just precisely a quarter.

THE BIRD ROSE in its nest of fire, stretched its wings, and flew out into the room. It flew round and round, and round again, and where it passed the air was warm. Then it perched on the fender. The children looked at each other.Then Cyril put out a hand towards the bird. It put its head on one side and looked up at him, as you may have seen a parrot do when it is just going to speak, so that the children were hardly astonished at all when it said, Be careful; I am not nearly cool yet.They were not astonished, but they were very, very much interested.They looked at the bird, and it was certainly worth looking at. Its feathers were like gold. It was about as large as a bantam, only its beak was not at all bantam-shaped. I believe I know what it is, said Robert. Ive seen a picture.He hurried away. A hasty dash and scramble among the papers on fathers study table yielded, as the sum-books say, the desired result. But when he came back into the room holding out a paper, and crying, I say, look here, the others all said Hush! and he hushed obediently and instantly, for the bird was speaking.

Et quand je ferme les yeux et que je replonge en mon Styx intérieur, je revois vos visages, vos mains et vos voix, je peux presque vous discerner mais plus jamais vous ne serez à mes cotés. Plus beau

Born in 1940, a year of war, he grew up amidst the ruins of the post-war period, shaped by his school and university years during the early days of the Federal Republic of Germany, and a long working life in a rapidly changing world: in these memoirs, a child of the war looks back on 85 years.The narrator takes readers on a personal journey through family, school, university, work and the years that followed - and tells of the many people he encountered along the way. The result is a vivid portrait of a life in the 20th and 21st centuries - and, at the same time, a piece of contemporary history told first-hand.

This work includes two short novels. I have transformed true events into short novels. I was one of them who survived the war until the last day. What happened in Sri Lanka in the twenty-first century is the genocide of Tamil people in Sri Lanka.An Eternal Testament, a short novel, is a dissection of that genocide. The Tamil race in Sri Lanka, which became a victim of genocide, has not received justice to this day. I firmly believe that this short novel will draw the attention of the international community.The Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle was a just cause. It is unique compared to other liberation struggles in the world. Fighters in the Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle engaged in the movement with honesty and in truth. I have depicted the experience and history of one of them in the short novel One Nation One Heart; One Heart One Nation. I believe that the short novel will help the world understand the nation of the liberation struggle.Let the sense of emancipation spread among the people all over the world. Let the door of theheart of the World Court open! Let us get justice.

Is Shakespeare a philosophical playwright or not? T S Eliot suggests he is not, a point of view which this work disagrees with. The reason he has not been identified as a philosophical artist is because of the modern philosophical view of aesthetics, which is at odds with both Aristotelian and Kantian views. Freudian and Kleinian psychoanalytical concepts are used to analyse the "enveloping" qualities of his productions as well as the aesthetic result. Shakespeare has an awareness of what happens in life when the balance of the mind of an agent is disturbed by mental illness and he demonstrates the grasp of this problem in several of his most famous plays. He also has a deep understanding of the psychology of the tyrant and the large-scale consequences which follow from this. Kant argues that beauty and the sublime are "symbols of morality": a judgement that requires an analysis of both symbolism and the metaphysics of morality if it is to be fully understood. Shakespeares work is described as "cosmopolitan", and this attractive characteristic is linked to what is described as the "hidden plan" for civilisation: a plan aiming at the Aristotelian hylomorphic essence-specifying-definition of man as a "rational animal capable of discourse". The commentaries of Wilson Knight and Harold Bloom are also philosophically evaluated from a philosophical point of view.

Saint-Simon spent a lifetime seeking out scandals at the court of the Sun King, whom he thought an arrogant monster whose extravagant wars and buildings would bankrupt France and bring about the fall of the French monarchy as it did, ultimately causing the French Revolution. He knew precisely who was who at court, whose genealogies were fake and who slept with whom and how many bastards they had and how much they drank. During the dissolute Regency that followed, he held high office but was involved in the tragic Mississippi bubble. He spent his last ten years writing his memoirs. He had the last laugh. Many who thought they were his friends would have been amazed.
