The Wild Olive - Basil King

Basil King
A passage from the book... Finding himself in the level wood-road, whose open aisle drew a long, straight streak across the sky, still luminous with the late-lingering Adirondack twilight, the tall young fugitive, hatless, coatless, and barefooted, paused a minute for reflection. As he paused, he listened; but all distinctiveness of sound was lost in the play of the wind, up hill and down dale, through chasm and over crag, in those uncounted leagues of forest. It was only a summer wind, soft and from the south; but its murmur had the sweep of the eternal breath, while, when it waxed in power, it rose like the swell of some great cosmic organ. Through the pines and in the underbrush it whispered and crackled and crashed, with a variety of effect strangely bewildering to the young man's city-nurtured senses. There were minutes when he felt that not only the four country constables whom he had escaped were about to burst upon him, but that weird armies of gnomes were ready to trample him down.Out of the confusion of wood-noises, in which his unpractised ear could distinguish nothing, he waited for a repetition of the shots which a few hours ago had been the protest of his guards; but, none coming, he sped on again. He weighed the danger of running in the open against the opportunities for speed, and decided in favor of the latter.

His House in Order, a Comedy in Four Acts

Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Facing the past: looking back at refugee childhood in New Zealand, 1940s-1960s

Beaglehole, Ann
Focuses on the lives of the children of wartime immigrants, whose perceptions and experiences of both the old and the new world were very different from their parents'. At school, in the neighbourhood, or on the sportsfield, many of them were painfully aware of being 'outsiders' in a society unused to cultural diversity. Yet their need to belong was frequently complicated by loyalty to the very different ideals and expectations of their parents. Based on a wide range of interviews as well as documentary evidence from second-generation refugees worldwide, this is an account of the lives of immigrant children growing up in the decades between the 1940s and the 1960s.

The Third British Empire

Zimmern, Alfred Eckard
In "The Third British Empire," Sir Alfred Eckhard Zimmern, a distinguished English classical scholar, historian, and political scientist, delves into the intriguing longevity of the British Empire amid the dissolution of other empires. Pioneering the use of the term "British Commonwealth," Zimmern explores the survival and form of the empire, raising critical questions about its continued existence in an era marked by the collapse of empires. With a keen eye on the historical landscape, he tackles the challenges and outlines the imperatives for the British Empire to justify its endurance in a rapidly changing world. Join Zimmern on a thought-provoking journey as he unveils the secrets behind the resilience of one of history's most influential empires. In this series of lectures, given at Columbia University in January 1925, the author lays out the purpose of the lectures: "The questions to which we shall be seeking answers in these lectures are three in number. Firstly, why has the British Empire survived at a time when these other empires have dissolved and disappeared? Secondly, how has it survived? In what form has it survived? Thirdly, what must it do to justify its survival in an age which seems destined to dissolve empires?"
