The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED from the CLOUDS
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825. -

Verne, et que cette idée, présentée en son état naissant à Pierre Albouy, ait rencontré aussitôt son assentiment, libéral et généreux ? Il y a là les marques d'un moment et d'un parcours historiques déterminés, dont il n'est pas indifférent de rappeler brièvement la teneur. Il y allait évidemment, c'est-à-dire primordialement, d'une fascination d'adolescence, persistante, pour les petits livres verts de la maison Hachet¬ te : probablement, par conséquent, d'une manière pour nous de nous efforcer de nous en rendre compte ; et certainement, par delà, de la volonté de pren• dre pour fin (concrètement pour objet) notre origine, c'est-à-dire de reven• diquer une éducation par essence républicaine, devenue avec le temps un in• défectible préjugé : fonds culturel et moral, avec cette double évidence du devoir social et de l'intransigeance privée, donc et surtout, sans que ja• mais cela n'apparût, comme la pudeur qui lui est propre s'en fait une rè• gle, fonds civique de ce qui s'appelle laïcité. -
New Trier Scobol Solo 2014 Round 14
New Trier Scobol Solo 2014 PORTA Round 14 NIGRA 1. This writer explained the difference between “use value” and “exchange value” before developing his theory of socially necessary labor time. This person wrote that “The so-called Christian state is the imperfect state” in essays critical of Bruno Bauer’s book The Jewish Question. He described the importance of material conditions to the study of history in his preface to Critique of Political Economy, and his beliefs would later be called dialectical materialism. A work this person co-wrote begins by stating that “A specter is haunting Europe.” Name this author of Das Kapital, who worked with Friedrich Engels to write The Communist Manifesto. Answer: Karl (Heinrich) Marx 2. In one work by this author, Civil War prisoners rescue Tom Ayrton and discover the identity of Prince Dakkar after escaping in a balloon. Dakkar is known by another name in another novel by this author, which ends with the narrator, Ned Land, and Conseil in Norway after the narrator passes out entering a whirlpool. This author of The Mysterious Island wrote a novel in which a bet is made after some Englishmen read about the Great Indian Peninsula Railway while they are at the Reform Club. Name this author who wrote about Phileas Fogg in Around the World in Eighty Days and about Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Answer: Jules (Gabriel) Verne 3. This composer included the line “Your face looks like a dead cat” in his aria “A un dottor della mia sorte”. This composer wrote the aria “Ah, come [KOH-may] mai non senti”, which has much in common with Pearsall’s duet for two cats. -
