  • Rough Notes on the Campaign of Sinde and Affghanistan in 1838-39
    ROUGH NOTES ON THE CAMPAIGN OF SINDE AND AFFGHANISTAN IN 1838-39 CAPTAIN JAMES OUTRAM (1840) Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar ROUGH NOTES ON THE CAMPAIGN OF SINDE AND AFFGHANISTAN IN 1838-39 BEING EXTRACTS FROM A PERSONAL JOURNA KEPT WHILE ON THE STAFF OF THE ARMY OF THE INDUS By CAPTAIN JAMES OUTRAM, POLITICAL AGENT IN SINDE 1840. REPRODUCED BY SANI H. PANHWAR TO SIR WILLIAM HAY MACNAGHTEN, BART., ENVOY AND MINISTER AT THE COURT OF HIS MAJESTY SHAH SHOOJA OOL MOOLK; IN GRATITUDE FOR THE CONFIDENCE WHICH INDUCED HIM TO EMPLOY THE AUTHOR IN VARIOUS IMPORTANT POLITICAL AND MILITARY DUTIES, AS WELL AS FOR THE UNIFORM PARTIALITY WITH WHICH HE HAS APPRECIATED HIS SERVICES THESE PAGES ARE INSCRIBED PREFATORY NOTICE. CIRCUMSTANCES have induced me to consent to the printing of the following rough notes from my journal during the late Campaign in Sinde and Affghanistan. I presume not to attempt a narrative of the great Military operations, or to describe minutely the countries and people which our arms have subdued. All this I leave to abler authors, whose works will, I doubt not, in due time, be submitted to the judgment, and for the information of the public, while this volume, which consists chiefly of personal details, has been printed simply for the perusal of those valued friends, to whom it will be PRESENTED, and to whom, it is accordingly OFFERED as a token of my thankfulness for the warm and continued interest which they have evinced in my proceedings during the period I served in the Army of the Indus.

  • Push Not the River Paints a Vivid Picture of a Tumultuous and Unforgettable Metamorphosis of a Nation—And of Anna, a Proud and Resilient Woman
    THE POLAND TRILOGY BY JAMES CONROYD MARTIN Check out The Poland Trilogy: https://goo.gl/93rzag Based on the diary of a Polish countess who lived through the rise and fall of the Third of May Constitution years, 1791-94, Push Not the River paints a vivid picture of a tumultuous and unforgettable metamorphosis of a nation—and of Anna, a proud and resilient woman. Against a Crimson Sky continues Anna’s saga as Napoléon comes calling, implying independence would follow if only Polish lancers would accompany him on his fateful 1812 march into Russia. Anna’s family fights valiantly to hold on-to a tenuous happiness, their country, and their very lives. Set against the November Rising (1830-31), The Warsaw Conspiracy depicts partitioned Poland’s daring challenge to the Russian Empire. Brilliantly illustrating the psyche of a people determined to reclaim independence in the face of monumental odds, the story features Anna’s sons and their fates in love and war. THE BOY WHO WANTED WINGS A Novel of the First 9/11 Aleksy, a Tatar raised by a Polish peasant family, holds in his heart the wish to become a Polish hussar, a lancer who carries a device attached to his back that holds eagle feathers. As a Tatar and as a peasant, this is an unlikely quest. When he meets Krystyna, the daughter of a noble landowner, he falls hopelessly in love. Even though she returns his love, race and class differences make this quest as impossible as that of becoming a hussar. Under the most harrowing and unlikely circumstances, one day Aleksy must choose between his dreams.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

    Rockbridge Hunt NewsHound March 19, 2014 1. Closing Meet. Saturday, March 22 at 2:30 PM, cookout to follow the hunt. Our Closing Meet is this Saturday! Bring something for the grill. BYOB. Cost is $10 per Rockbridge Hunt member unless you have pre-arranged to bring food or volunteer in some other way. Laura Jarvis is coordinating the cookout. If you would like to help in some way, please contact her directly at 540- 817-9216 or [email protected]. Remember to make reservations ASAP with Hugh Brown at [email protected] or 540-886-6359. Thank you! Plans for this Saturday are for ratcatcher attire or a reasonable facsimile. If the weather is very warm or if the ground is very muddy, we may switch to casual attire. Please check the hunt line on Friday night. And you might want to be prepared for a last-minute change on Saturday. There is a slim chance that we might schedule an additional day of hunting on Sunday, March 23 or on Wednesday, March 26. Again, please check the hunt line. We hope to see you there! 2. Protective Head Gear. In these increasingly litigious times, our insurance company has made it clear that we need to require all participants in riding events to wear protective head gear at all times while riding. So if you are hunting, hound walking, trail riding, hunter pacing, schooling, horse showing, or poker riding, please wear protective head gear and make certain your guests do the same. We can not function without our insurance coverage.
