LONDON: GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS THE BROADWAY, LUDGATE. THE PRISONER OF LA VINTRESSE; OR, THE FORTUNES OF A CUBAN HEIRESS. CHAP TER I. ESCAPE AND DISAPPOINTMENT. THE moonlight streamed broadly down upon the " Pasec De Ysabel Segunda"—the grand avenue of the city of Havana. Its two carriage-drives—its two walls for foot-passengers, glit­ tered Uke sflvcr in the splendors of the night; and the tree- branches that lined its sides were white with the glory of the full-orbed mooiL The soft air was loaded with the scents of flowers that came from near and distant gardens. The blue field of stars glittered above, and the soft harmony of a fufl band of music, playing perhaps before the Governor's house, their farewell march, came gently on the night-wind. Two figures lightly but hurriedly crossed the lower end of tbc beautiful avenue. "We did well with the guards, Minerva, now we have passed all danger, and I shall soon put y3u on board—good heavens!" The lady looked up hastily at this exclamation. ' Do you not see, Minerva, in the hurry and excitement, * have quite forgotten my portmanteau, containing all my pa­ pers—my drafts. In fact, I could not go without it. How unfortunate !" _" What wHl you do, dear Herman ?" It was the musical voice of 9 young girL 6 THE PRISONER OF LA VINTRES8E. " There is but one thing I can do: put you on board and come back for it, then hasten to the ship, I don't think the tide is up. The boat that carries you wfll return with me, and it will not take thirty minutes. I mint feel that you are safe." " O Herman! it seems as if I dare not stay alone, and I am so fearful there may be trouble about your returning;" she said, half tearfully. "Don't be afraid, dearest—the captain of the Eagle is a thorough gentleman, and I am well known here by most of the public authorities. Come, yonder is the boat, they are punctual—don't tremble so, my love." " I fear—I hardly know what;" was the low reply. " It is but natural;" returned the manly voice, " but you wfll soon feel safer when I am your protector. Here they are." A boat approached the landing, propelled by two swarthy seamen. " If I could only remam here tfll you return;" she mur­ mured again. " That would never do, Minerva. I'll see you to the ves­ sel's side, however. What time do you set saU, men ?" " At twelve, to a second;" said one of the men. " All right—I have an hour, then." Herman had pulled out his gold repeater—now he hastily put it back, secured Minerva in a comfortable seat, protecting her with lover-lflie energy against the up-coming of the restless waters as the saUors pulled oars lustfly. They reached the side of the black bulk. The captain's cheerful voice was heard. " You are in good time, Mr. Goreham." " Yes, sir; but I must ask the favor to be puUed back and waited for just ten minutes. By an unfortunate oversight I've left aU my valuables, and this young lady, my cousin, of whom I spoke to you, wiU remain in your safe keeping." " Ay, ay," responded the captain, " but I must limit yoa. Thirty minutes is the very longest I can spare tho men, as I wish to set sail at twelve. Think you can do it "i" " I shan't be so long as that, captain, thank you. Now, be patient, darling," he whispered to the young girl as he helped her up SEA-SICKNESS. 7 Another moment and the sailors were oS, Mr. Herman Ck)reham keeping them company, whfle Minerva was conduct­ ed to the handsome cabin, and shown her own pretty state" room, by the stewardess. Here she dismissed the woman and sat down, listening in­ tently that she might catch the faintest flash of the oars on their quick return. Strangely enough, a drowsiness crept over her, and, giving way to the sudden languor, she fell asleep. When she awoke, a midnight darkness was around her, and for a moment she knew not where she was. A sullen sound and une^y motion convinced her all at once that the vessel was under way, and had been perhaps for hours. A blank horror seized her—could she be alone ? The clattering of tho doors, the trembling of the ship, convinced her that she must be at sea, and in a high wind. She tried the door of her state­ room, standing up as best she could. A sudden lurch sent her out into the cabin where she caught at the long table and strove to steady herself, that she might look about her. There was no sign of life there. The lantern swung dismally, and the bolts and casings creaked and groaned. Overhead were sounds of tramping feet and shouting voices. Totally unac­ quainted with a ship as she was, she gazed from end to end of the long cabin in utter dismay. Of course Herman was on board. He had come at the appointed time, supposed hei asleep and would not disturb her. Which of the state-rooms, whose gflding looked so ghastly in the dim light, could be his? And yet he might just have knocked at her door. Perhaps he flid; she must have slept very soundly not to hear. A feeling of desolation came over her in spite of her hope, that sent the tears gushing to her eyes. If she could only see one human face—if the captain could come in, or the stewardess. But this horrible rollmg—this deathly famtness that now crept over her, shrouding as it were, soul and body in its hideous mantle. At any rate, she must get back to her state-room, and there lis­ ten for the captain. It could not be very long tfll morning if the vessel started at twelve, and she had probably slept some hours. The damp sea-wind chflled her, and an undefinable fear weighed down her sphits. She returned to her state­ room and sank uneasily on her narrow bed. Ill as she felt herself growing, she did not call for assistancp. hnt, waited pa- 8 THE PRISONER OF LA VINTKESSSl. tiently. It was evident that the calm wind of the previoUfl night had freshened into a gale. The ship leaped and plunged, and the ominous clattering as of ten thousand dishes, became every moment louder, while the shouts above, grew more hoarse and continuous. Sad was that weary watching till he dawn, and welcome the first gray streak that slanted acrcss the little state-room. Minerva attempted in vain to rise. The fearful giddiness ol sea-sickness was upon her—the ominous sinking and depres­ sion that makes the malady seem tenfold more terrible. The gale had somewhat abated its violence—but the ship yet plunged from one large wave-top to the other. Perplexing herself with wearying thought, she yet looked for some token from Herman. He might be as fll in his Btate-room as she was in hers, but surely he could send a mes­ sage by the stewardess, or if there were other passengers, of which she was doubtful, by them or the captain. The savory smell of coiTee saluted her senses. Breakfast was being prepared, then ; some one might think of her. She was not mistaken. In a few moments the door of her state­ room opened, and the pleasant face of the stewardess appeared,' shining through the steam of the beverage she held in her hand. Minerva greeted her with a smile. It was good to see a human countenance, even that of a stranger. " How are you, miss ?" the girl asked simply. Minerva shook her head ; her look was expressive. " Ah, you are not used to the sea,'" said the girl—" get all right in good lime. Take some strong coft'ee, that will niiike you better. Very pretty;" she added, nodding hci lic;ad approvingly, as Minerva shook the long curling hair that had fallen from its fastenings, and hung in glittering curls all over the pillow. The young girl smfled languidly and tasted the colTce. I' gave her strengtb, for she lifted herself in the narrow bed, and her eyes grew brighter. "The gentleman who came with me," she said, turning tc the stewardess, who, with an admirable sea-gait, was placing the little state-room in order—" is ho ill, do you think, tUi« NOT ON BOARD. 9 moraicg ? He said he was never sick at sea, but then wo have had a temble storm, have we not ?" " Very bad," replied the girl, who, though she was Span­ ish by birth, spoke exceflent English; " but who do you mean, by the gentleman? You came alone; I saw no gen­ tleman." " Yes, I came over the vessel's side alone," said Minerva, "but my cousin was in the boat. He had to go back to the shore after some luggage he had forgotten, but he returned di- rectiy. If I had my pencil, I would write a message to him, and the steward could take it. It is strange that I have not heard from him before now." The stewardess stood regarding the young girl with a glance of perplexity. " Are you sure he came aboard ?" she asked after a moment of sUence.

  • Madonna E Seu Acervo Multiartístico: Os Fetichismos Visuais Na Obra Do Maior Mito
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 41º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Joinville - SC – 2 a 8/09/2018 Madonna e seu Acervo Multiartístico: os fetichismos visuais na obra do maior mito 1 pop do século XX Rafael Nacif de Toledo PIZA2 Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UERJ Resumo O presente artigo pretende fazer uma retrospectiva da carreira da cantora Madonna, tendo como ponto de tensionamento os fetichismos visuais, conceito desenvolvido pelo italiano Massimo Canevacci em 2008. Nosso intuito é analisar o desenvolvimento cronológico da obra da cantora, relacionando suas iniciativas ao escopo teórico criado pelo sociólogo italiano, oferecendo pistas para decifrarmos os segredos de sua longevidade e do sucesso por trás de sua persona pública. Palavras-chave Madonna, cronologia, fetichismos visuais. Introdução Ser fã de Madonna é um privilégio e uma honra. Acompanhar a carreira de uma cantora, atriz, produtora, diretora de cinema, celebridade e personalidade é uma tarefa das mais prazerosas e dispendiosas. Montar uma coleção de objetos da Madonna pode custar alguns bons reais que poderiam ser investidos em outras coisas, como carros, roupas e outros itens de consumo. Mas deixando o lado mercantil de lado e focando na parte estética, o que Madonna nos apresenta é uma coleção de hits para as pistas de dança e baladas empacotados em formatos correspondentes às tecnologias do período, sempre com fotografias riquíssimas e figurinos ousados, tipologias inovadoras e designs de cair o queixo. Madonna e os fetichismos visuais de Canevacci Em 2008, Massimo Canevacci desenvolve “Fetichismos visuais: corpos erópticos e metrópole comunucacional” (Ateliê Editorial, 2008).

Non c©è un intento filologico, troppo complesso per essere trattato con le mie risorse: vi è invece un intento divulgativo, la volontà di far conoscere i vari aspetti di una parte della nostra cultura. Motivazioni per scrivere note di ringraziamento non mancano. Contributi e suggerimenti sono giunti da ogni dove, vien da dire «dagli Appennini alle Ande». Tutto questo aiuto mi ha dato e mi sta dando entusiasmo per continuare a migliorare e ampliare gli orizzonti di quest©impresa. Ringrazio quindi: chi mi ha dato consigli su grafica e impostazione del sito, chi ha svolto le operazioni di aggiornamento sul portale, tutti coloro che mettono a disposizione testi e materiali che riguardano la lirica, chi ha donato tempo, chi mi ha prestato hardware, chi mette a disposizione software di qualità a prezzi più che contenuti. Infine ringrazio la mia famiglia, per il tempo rubatole e dedicato a questa attività. I titoli vengono scelti in base a una serie di criteri: disponibilità del materiale, data della prima rappresentazione, autori di testi e musiche, importanza del testo nella storia della lirica, difficoltà di reperimento. A questo punto viene ampliata la varietà del materiale, e la sua affidabilità, tramite acquisti, ricerche in biblioteca, su internet, donazione di materiali da parte di appassionati.

    jessie and morgiana by Alexander Grin йййййййййййй for Nina Nikolaevna Grin Bell & Bett Main Street Brosna County Kerry V92 C9XE Ireland First published in 1929 as Джесси и Моргиана translation: Eoin Flynn © 2019 Reason has nothing to say in the matter; and I must not let you squander any of yours. It will be enough to tell you this is an affair of the heart. St. Ives Robert Louis Stevenson 5 Chapter I There is an age-old way of foretelling the future by way of mirrors: you look through a mirror into another mirror that is placed in front of the first so that they reflect one another, creating an infinite shining corridor filled with parallel rows of candles. The young sorceress (it is only girls who cast their fortunes in this way) looks down that corridor. What she sees there ± that is what will happen to her. One day ± this was in the springtime, at half eleven at night ± Miss Jessie Trengan was sitting alone in her bedroom and amusing herself with the method described above. She placed a second mirror opposite her dressing table mirror, lit two candles and stared down the glittering tunnel of the reflection. In a month's time Jessie Trengan was to turn twenty-one years old. She was a wilful, cheerful, good-hearted girl. To describe her outward appearance is no easy matter. The innumerable literary attempts there are of that sort are the best evidence of this. No one has so far been able to make us see a woman through descriptions given in printer's ink.
