Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... THE WRESTLERS OF RAGUSA. CHAPTER I. PESCADE AND MATIFOU. FIFTEEN years after the events related in the. prologue of this history, on the 24th of May, 1882, there was a holiday at Ragusa, one of the chief towns of the Dalmatian provinces. Dalmatia is a narrow tongue of land lying between the northern Dinaric Alps, Herzegovina, and the Adriatic. It is just large enough to hold a population of from four to five hundred thousand, with a little squeezing. A fine race are these- Dalmatians: sober in an arid country, where arable land is rare, proud amid the many political vicissitudes they have undergone, haughty towards Austria which gained them by the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1815, and honest towards all; so much so that the country can be called, according to a beautiful expression reported by M. Yriarte, "The land of the lockless doors." Dalmatia is divided into four circles, and these are subdivided into districts; the circles are those of Zara, Spalato, Cattaro, and Ragusa. The governor-general resides at Zara, the capital of the province, where the Diet meets of which many members form part of the Upper House at Vienna. Times are much changed since the sixteenth century, when Uscoques--fugitive Turks at war with the Mussulmans as well as the Christians, with the Sultan as well as the Venetian Republic--were the-terror of the sea. But the Uscoques have disappeared, and traces of them are no longer to be found in Carniola. The Adriatic is now as safe as any other part of the poetical Mediterranean. Ragusa, or rather the small state of Ragusa, was a republic even before Venice. It was only in 1808 that a decree of Napoleon united it, the year following, to the kingdom of Illyria and made of it a duchy for Marshal Marmont. In the ninth...

Book Description
These two volumes examine a significant but previously neglected moment in French cultural history: the emergence of French film theory and criticism before the essays of André Bazin. Richard Abel has devised an organizational scheme of six nearly symmetrical periods that serve to "bite into" the discursive flow of early French writing on the cinema. Each of the periods is discussed in a separate and extensive historical introduction, with convincing explications of the various concepts current at the time. In each instance, Abel goes on to provide a complementary anthology of selected texts in translation. Amounting to a portable archive, these anthologies make available a rich selection of nearly one hundred and fifty important texts, most of them never before published in English.

Book Description
About the Book: Jules Verne, the "Father of Modern Science Fiction," is indeed immortal and eternally young across three centuries. In Masters of the Sea: The Adventures of Jules Verne's Mathias Sandorf, we pay tribute to Verne, who inspired pioneers throughout the world for generations. Here, we take Verne's ultimate prediction of communication with our friends of the watery deep to its outer limits. In fact, communication with these friends was heralded throughout the world when, in 2003, America used dolphins to clear mines designed to hamper the invasion from the port of Unn Qasr in southern Iraq. For the first time, a pioneering research Preface underscores why and how Verne proclaimed Mathias Sandorf his greatest epic science fiction masterpiece. His dedication of the original work claims "...I tried to make of Mathias Sandorf my Monte Cristo of extraordinary science fiction adventures." Verne drew his Austrian heroic character, Dr. Mathias Sandorf, from the reality of the battleground of Germany's conquests of Austria and France during the 30-year period prior to World War I. About the Author: George J. Rios, M.P.A., Ph.D. has distinguished himself with nine Public Service appointments including three White House assignments spanning five presidential administrations and is a former New York City Commissioner. He renders a unique service to science-fiction aficionados with his scholarly researched and adapted translation of Jules Verne's preeminent novel.
