What I Saw in Kaffir-Land . E-book. Formato Mobipocket Stephen Lakeman - Simone Vannini, 2016 -
This book contains extracts from the daily record of impressions made on my mind, by men and events, as we performed together our allotted parts, in one short tragical episode at the Cape. Very little has been omitted; nothing has been added. It is a simple narrative, taken from the Book of my Life, of which, if it is not the opening chapter, it is at least one of the first.If by my observations I have hurt any one’s feelings, this may have been caused by these persons having ruffled mine. If I have said but little good of any one with whom I have been brought into contact, it is because I failed to perceive any more than I have mentioned. The reader will be able to some extent to judge whether or not this has arisen from my want of perspicacity, or from their incapacity.I can only add, that this narrative is true. I have thought, in having it published, that it might interest those who seek by reading some information about the realities of life in this artificial world of ours, wherein time-serving hypocrites present themselves so often as shams when Heaven and country call for men.
Opiniones . E-book. Formato Mobipocket Rubén Darío - Simone Vannini, 2016 -
En este libro, como en todos los míos, no pretendo enseñar nada, pues me complazco en reconocerme el ser menos pedagógico de la tierra. Van aquí mis opiniones y mis sentires, sobre cosas vistas e ideas acariciadas. Todo expresado de la manera más noble que he podido, pues no me avengo con bajos pensamientos ni vulgares palabras. No busco el que nadie piense como yo, ni se manifieste como yo. ¡Libertad!, ¡libertad!, mis amigos. Y no os dejéis poner librea de ninguna clase.
Heroes and hero-worship in history. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Thomas Carlyle - Simone Vannini, 2015 -
We have undertaken to discourse here for a little on Great Men, their manner of appearance in our world's business, how they have shaped themselves in the world's history, what ideas men formed of them, what work they did;—on Heroes, namely, and on their reception and performance; what I call Hero-worship and the Heroic in human affairs. Too evidently this is a large topic; deserving quite other treatment than we can expect to give it at present. A large topic; indeed, an illimitable one; wide as Universal History itself. For, as I take it, Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here. They were the leaders of men, these great ones; the modellers, patterns, and in a wide sense creators, of whatsoever the general mass of men contrived to do or to attain; all things that we see standing accomplished in the world are properly the outer material result, the practical realization and embodiment, of Thoughts that dwelt in the Great Men sent into the world: the soul of the whole world's history, it may justly be considered, were the history of these.
