Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

I'll borrow something that he said."1Raymond Carver 1 Frequent comparisons between Raymond Carver and Anton Chekhov trace Carver's allusions to Chekhov in Errand, a quasi-historical account of Chekhov's death, or in larger arguments briefly refer to similarities in the two writers' techniques. Since Chekhov's influence is representative of Carver's career, it is surprising that the specific ways Carver incorporates Chekhov's writing ideologies have hitherto gone unacknowledged. An examination of Carver's themes and techniques suggests that he believed in art's transcendent power and consciously and unconsciously borrowed from Chekhov.

  • On the Distinctiveness of the Russian Novel: the Brothers Karamazov and the English
    On the Distinctiveness of the Russian Novel: The Brothers Karamazov and the English Tradition Emma K. Lieber Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Emma K. Lieber All rights reserved ABSTRACT On the Distinctiveness of the Russian Novel: The Brothers Karamazov and the English Tradition Emma K. Lieber This dissertation takes as its starting point Leo Tolstoy’s famous contention that the works of the Russian literary canon represent “deviation[s] from European forms.” It is envisioned as a response to (or an elaboration upon) critical works that address the unique rise, formation, and poetics of the Russian novel, many of which are themselves responses (or Russian corollaries) to Ian Watt’s study of the rise of the novel in England; and it functions similarly under the assumption that the singularity of the Russian novel is a product of various idiosyncrasies in the Russian cultural milieu. The project is structured as a comparative examination of two pairs of eighteenth- and nineteenth- century novels from Russia and England, and as such it approaches the question of the Russian novel’s distinctiveness in the form of a literary experiment. By engaging in close readings of Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722) alongside Mikhail Chulkov’s The Comely Cook (Prigozhaia povarikha , 1770), and Charles Dickens’s Bleak House (1853) alongside Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov (1880), concentrating particularly on matters of formal design, corporeal integrity and vulnerability, and communal harmony and discord—and by understanding the English texts as a “control group” for an examination of the Russian deviation—it attempts to identify some of the distinctive features of the Russian realist novel.

  • TOWARDS ZERO Agatha Christie
    TOWARDS ZERO Agatha Christie Prologue: November 19th The group round the fireplace was nearly all composed of lawyers or those who had an interest in the law. There was Martindale the solicitor, Rufus Lord, K.C., young Daniels who had made a name for himself in the Carstairs case, a sprinkling of other barristers, Mr. Justice Cleaver, Lewis of Lewis and Trench and old Mr. Treves. Mr. Treves was dose on eighty, a very ripe and experienced eighty. He was a member of a famous firm of solicitors, and the most famous member of that firm. He had settled innumerable delicate cases out of court, he was said to know more of backstairs history than any man in England and he was a specialist on criminology. Unthinking people said Mr. Treves ought to write his memoirs. Mr. Treves knew better. He knew that he knew too much. Though he had long retired from active practice, there was no man in England whose opinion was so respected by the members of his own fraternity. Whenever his thin precise little voice was raised there was always a respectful silence. The conversation now was on the subject of a much talked-of case which had finished that day at the Old Bailey. It was a murder case and the prisoner had been acquitted.

Khurshedul Alam (Corresponding Author) Lecturer in English, Faculty of Science, University of Chittagong, Chittagong- 4331, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Anthon Chekhov can strikingly be marked out for his artistic ingenuity in composing his short stories imbued with cornucopia of ideas with pinpoint accuracy. He has amassed so many cutting edge ideas which represent the matter of opinions which can be often described as a sense of sentimental, emotive, equivocal, weird, funny, and even haunting and taunting . A gushing outlet of emotional intelligence and essence of life are found in Anthon Chekhov’s writing. Chekhovian short stories do not let the reader a solid message rather it caters to the readers to give room to extract the themes of the stories from abyss of twist and turn . Russian literature owes to Chekhov by large for he got the nerves of the Russian people and their turn of mind. His delineation of the characters is enshrouded in delicate touch and his dealings with the characters has an emollient tone. His experiential learning with the social maladies bounds him to present the scenario of decadent, corroding and worked-up society of Russia.
