The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'

Lord Jim

—Estas??—Si, corriendo.? Y corriendo, corriendo, azotando las puertas con sus vuelos de seda, desde el tocador al gabinete y desde el armario al espejo, siempre en el retoque de ultima hora; buscando el alfiler o el abanico que perdian su cabecilla de loca, volviendose desde la calle para cenir a su garganta el collar, haciendome entrar todavia por el panolito de encaje olvidado sobre la silla, saliamos al fin todas las noches con hora y media de retraso, aunque con luz del sol empezara ella la archidificil obra de poner a nivel de la belleza de su cara la delicadeza de su adorno.?Gracias habia que dar si cuando al primer farol, ella, parandose, me preguntaba: "Que tal voy?", no le contestaba yo: "Bien, muy guapa", con absoluto convencimiento; porque capaz era la nina de volverse en ultima instancia al tribunal supremo del espejo, y entonces, ?adios, teatro!..., llegabamos a la salida. Como ocurria muchas veces.? Ella muy de prisa, yo a su lado, un poco detras, no muy cerca, con mezcla del respeto galante del caballero a la dama y del respeto grave del groom a la duquesita. Cuando en la vuelta de una esquina rozaban mi brazo sus cintas, yo le pedia perdon. Mirabala sin querer a la luz de los escaparates, y cuando alguna mujer del pueblo quedabase parada floreandola, yo la decia: "Mira, oyes?", y sonreia ella triunfante como una reina... ? ?AUTOR: Felipe Trigo Sanchez (1864 – 1916) fue medico rural y militar, y posteriormente escritor espanol. Nacido en Villanueva de la Serena, en el seno de una familia de clase media con dificultades economicas por la temprana muerte del padre, Felipe Trigo curso el bachillerato en Badajoz y la carrera de medicina en el Hospital de San Carlos de Madrid. Su experiencia como estudiante forastero en la capital la plasmaria en la novela En la carrera. Tras licenciarse, casado ya con su companera de facultad, Consuelo Seco de Herrera, ejercio como medico titular en los pueblos pacenses de Trujillanos y Valverde de Merida, circunstancia biografica que tambien novelizaria en El medico rural. Hastiado de la vida rural, entro por oposicion en el Cuerpo de Sanidad Militar. Su primer destino fue Sevilla, donde comenzo su actividad periodistica que ya habia intentado en Madrid. De Sevilla paso a Trubia, como medico de la fabrica de armas. Anos despues marcho voluntario a unas Filipinas en plena rebelion. Destinado como medico en Fuerte Victoria, en realidad un destacamento de prisioneros tagalos, estuvo a punto de perder la vida durante una escaramuza. Los sublevados le asestaron no menos de siete machetazos, dejandolo por muerto. Trigo, sin embargo, consiguio huir a campo traves, en espantosas condiciones. Con una mano inutilizada, fue repatriado como mutilado de guerra, con el grado de teniente coronel. La prensa le recibio como ?el heroe de Fuerte Victoria? y llego a ser propuesto para la Cruz Laureada de San Fernando. Rechazando la posibilidad de capitalizar politicamente su celebridad, en 1900 se retiro del Ejercito y fijo su residencia en Merida para dedicarse en exclusiva a la literatura...

IN the far-off days when Dante lived, those who wrote books wrote them in the Latin tongue. Dante himself wrote the first seven cantos of his great poem in Latin. But like many another poet, he was not satisfied with his first attempt. He flung the seven Latin cantos aside and seemingly forgot all about them, for when he was banished from Florence the poem he had begun was not among his treasures. His wife, however, found the seven cantos and tossed them into a bag among her jewels. Then she also seemed to forget all about them. Five years later a nephew of Dante chanced to find the long-forgotten verses. He at once sent them to his uncle, who was still living in exile. When Dante received the cantos he had written so long ago, he believed that their recovery was a sign from Heaven that he should complete the great poem he had begun. He therefore set to work afresh, but this time he wrote, not in Latin, but in his own beautiful mother-tongue, which was, as you know, Italian. When at length the great poem was finished, Dante named it simply, "The Comedy," and it was not until many years after his de-ath that the title was changed into "The Divine Comedy." A comedy was a tale which might be as sad as tale could be, so only that it ended in gladness.In "The Divine Comedy," then, about which this little book tells, you may expect to find much that is sad, much that is terrible. Yet you may be certain that before the end of the tale you will find in it gladness and joy..

Alexander's Bridge is the first novel by American author Willa Cather. First published in 1912, it was re-released with an author's preface in 1922. It also ran as a serial in McClure's, giving Cather some free time from her work for that magazine.

Then I was a little girl, which is now a good many years ago, there came to spend some time with us a cousin who had been brought up in Germany. ??She was almost grown-up—to me, a child of six or seven, she seemed quite grown-up; in reality, she was, I suppose, about fifteen or sixteen. She was a bright, kind, good-natured girl, very anxious to please and amuse her little English cousins, especially me, as I was the only girl. ??But she had not had much to do with small children; above all, delicate children, and she was so strong and hearty herself that she did not understand anything about nervous fears and fancies.

The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as “Whistling Dan,” and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It’s also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate’s love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale. Warning: don’t look for a typical cowboy story here – it’s far deeper and stronger than that.

A classic western from one of the masters of the genre.

Demersul Antoanetei Olteanu, reputat? traduc?toare de limba rus? ?iexpert? ?n istoria cultural? a Rusiei, se distinge at?t prin calitatea informa?iilor, adesea inedite, c?t ?i prin compozi?ia complex?, care ?mbin? viziunea sintetic? cu o perspectiv? transcultural? exersat?. Cartea se recomand? de la sine at?t cititorului profesionist, care g?se?te aici o serie de date altfel greu accesibile, c?t ?i celui interesat de istoria ?i cultura Europei ?n ansamblu. Dup? cum anun?? ?i subtitlul, lucrarea reconstituie o istorie cultural? a secolului al XIX-lea, realiz?nd, ?n fapt, o fresc? a uneia dintre cele mai captivante perioade din istoria Rusiei, cea imperial?. Datele prezentate acoper? practic toate Aspectele vie?ii politice, sociale, economice ?i culturale ale acestui interval de timp, marcat at?t de aura ?arilor, c?t ?i de nenum?ratele revolte populare. Tabloul evenimentelor majore este ?ntregit cu minu?ioase inventare de titluri nobiliare, cu date economice consemnate cu acribie, cu o expunere vie a panoramei cutumelor sociale, familiale ?i religioase, merg?nd de la modalit??ile de confec?ionare a juc?riilor sau a bijuteriilor p?n? la istorii ale ceaiului sau vodcii. Atmosfera epocii cap?t? un contur des?v?r?it prin citarea unor fragmente din lucr?ri ?tiin?ifice de referin??, din jurnalele de c?l?torie ?i din publicistica vremii, dar ?i din operele marilor scriitori ai vremii, ca Dostoievski, Gogol ?i Tolstoi. Se contureaz?, astfel, o imagine neconven?ional? a Rusiei, o na?iune confruntat? permanent cu tensiunea unei alegeri fundamentale, care pune ?n opozi?ie modelul str?in ?i inegalabila for?? intern?. Autoarei ?i revine meritul de a fi surprins aspectele esen?iale ale acestei tensiuni, cu ample ecouri ?n perioadamodern? ?i cu evidente efecte asupra mentalit??ii contemporane.

"Le bon père achevait de dire sa messe, quand on lui amena les prisonniers. C'était dans un coin sauvage des monts Arichulégui. Une roche éboulée, où un figuier géant enfon?ait sa tige tordue, formait une sorte d'autel recouvert – en guise de nappe – d'un étendard carliste aux franges d'argent."

Robert R. Provine p??e?te f?r? team? pe c?r?ri rareori b?tute de al?i oameni de ?tiin?? – ?n c?utarea sughi?urilor, tusei, c?scatului, str?nuturilor ?i a altor comportamente umane, aparent nedemne ?i de joas? spe??. De?i multe dintre activit??ile prezentate ?n Comportamente bizare sunt contagioase, ?n aceast? privin??, niciunul dintre ele nu ?ntrece c?scatul – p?n? ?i simpla citire a cuv?ntului ne poate face s?-i c?dem prad?. Chiar dac?, adesea, ?l privim ca pe un semn de somnolen?? sau plictiseal?, c?scatul ne ofer? indicii despre devoltarea socialit??ii ?i capacit??ii noastre de a empatiza cu ceilal?i. Implacabilul s?u mecanism de transmitere ne reaminte?te c?, uneori, suntem programa?i neurologic s? ne comport?m ca ni?te simple animale de turm? incon?tiente. ?Deschide?i cartea aceasta, care se bazeaz? pe cercet?ri serioase, dar care se cite?te ca un roman poli?ist, ?i descoperi?i lucruri pe care nici nu vi le-a?i fi imaginat vreodat? despre aceste comportamente.“ Frans de Waal, profesor la Universitatea Emory ?i autor al lucr?rii The Age of Empathy(2009)

This is the record of a trip which the author took with Buffalo Jones, known as the preserver of the American bison, across the Arizona desert and of a hunt in "that wonderful country of deep canons and giant pines."

O culegere edific?toare de aforisme ?i pamflete, din care nu lipsesc umorul, inteligen?a vie, ascu?it?.

Aceasta nu este o arc? a salv?rii, a speran?ei, a regener?rii suflete?ti, nici locul ?n care personaje-kamikaze arunc? ?n jur ?n timpul sacrificiului lor, bun?tate, generozitate, bl?nde?e, ?n?elepciune, cump?tare. E o arc? simbolic?. Fictiv?, sau e chiar lumea noastr? condamnat? s? pluteasc? ?n deriv? pe un ocean sub care p?nde?te un tzunami apocaliptic? Da, ?ntr-adev?r, Breban nu neglijeaz? nici o specie, sunt toate conservate aici, e destul s? ?nl?turi dificila, fragila ?i totu?i rezistenta perdea ?esut? din mii de pagini de carte, ca s? descoperi o umanitate crud?, pe care mul?i dintre noi, dintre cititori sau autori avem tendin?a de a o evita, tendin?a de a o machia, de a-i face opera?ii estetice… Arca are capaciatatea de a re?nvia din cenu?a ?i de a ne propune o c?l?torie imaginar? spre o alt? dimensiune, ?ncerc?nd s?-i salveze deopotriv? pe credincio?i ?i pe atei, pe puternici ?i pe cei slabi, pe victime ?i pe c?l?i, pe mae?tri ?i pe discipoli, pe slugi ?i pe st?p?ni. Tu alegi de care parte vrei s? te afli, ?n afara arcei, pe arc? sau ?n structura ei intim? fragil? ?i totu?i rezistent?, capabil? s? te duc? spre cele mai insolite teritorii care ?nc? nu au fost inventate ?i pe care doar acul busolei lui Breban le indic? ?i le plaseaz? pe o hart? altfel inaccesibil?.
