The need of such a rest is self-evident, and the loss of it is a common cause of the impairment of health. While we are awake and active, the waste of the body exceeds the repair; but when asleep, the waste is diminished, and the cells are more actively rebuilding the struc ture for to-morrow's labor. The organic functions, such as are under the direct control of the sympathetic nervous system,-circulation, respiration, and digestion,-are diminished in activity during sleep. The pulsations of the heart and the respiratory movements are less frequent, and the circula tion is slower. The bodily temperature is reduced, and the cerebral circula tion is diminished.

And it was S. Patrick had power at that time, and it was to him Oisin was brought; and he kept him in his house, and used to be teaching him and questioning him. And Oisin was no way pleased with the way Ireland was then, but he used to be talking of the old times, and fretting after the Fianna. And Patrick bade him to tell what happened him the time he left Finn and the Fianna and went away with Niamh. And it is the story Oisin told:- 'The time I went away with golden-haired Niamh, we turned our backs to the land, and our faces westward, and the sea was going away before us, and filling up inwaves after us. Andwe sawwonderful things on our journey,' he said, 'cities and courts and duns and lime-white houses, and shining sunnyhouses and palaces. And one time we saw beside us a hornless deer running hard, and an eager white red-eared hound following after it. And another time we saw a young girl on a horse and having a golden apple in her right hand, and she going over the tops of the waves; and there was following after her a young man riding a white horse, and having a crimson cloak and a gold-hilted sword in his right hand.' 'Follow on with your story, pleasant Oisin,' said Patrick, 'for you did not tell us yet what was the country you went to.' 'The Country of the Young, the Country of Victory, it was,' said Oisin.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book explores the complex life and times of Andrew Jackson, focusing on his formative years as a frontier figure and his ascendance in American politics during a period of significant national change and expansion. The narrative sheds light on Jackson's character, the socio-political landscape of his era, and the events that shaped him into a controversial yet monumental figure in American history. The opening of the book describes Andrew Jackson's early life, detailing his Scottish-Irish roots and the journey his family took to settle in America after the 1763 Peace of Paris. It outlines the hardships faced by Jackson, including the early death of his father and the loss of many family members during the Revolutionary War, creating a backdrop for his later ambitions. Young Jackson's spirited and often reckless nature emerges through anecdotes of his childhood in the rugged Waxhaw settlement. The narrative sets the stage for Jackson's future as a soldier and politician, highlighting the formative influences of his frontier upbringing, his uncompromising character, and the community dynamics that would later play a role in his rise to political power.With Jackson went his wife and two infant sons, a brother-in-law, and two neighborswith their families, who thus made up a typical eighteenth-century emigrant group. Arrived at Charleston, the travelers fitted themselves out for an overland journey, awaited a stretch of favorable weather, and set off for the Waxhaw settlement, one hundred and eighty miles to the northwest, where numbers of their kinsmen and countrymen were already established. There the Jacksons were received with open arms by the family of a second brother-in-law, who had migrated a few years earlier and who now had a comfortable log house and a good-sized clearingThe settlement lay on the banks of the upper Catawba, near the junction of that stream with Waxhaw Creek; and as it occupied a fertile oasis in a vast waste of pine woods, it was for decades largely cut off from touch with the outside world. The settlement was situated, too, partly in North Carolina and partly in South Carolina, so that in the pre-Revolutionary days many of the inhabitants hardly knew, or cared to know, in which of the two provinces they dwelt.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the intricate connections between Iranian culture and Arabic literature following the Arab conquest of Persia, focusing particularly on how Sasanian traditions were preserved and transformed within Islamic writing. The opening of the book establishes a framework for understanding the Persian historical narrative in conjunction with the rise of Arabic literature, highlighting that much of Iran's cultural history survived through various literary forms and translations despite the upheaval caused by the Arab expansion. It outlines key areas of influence, such as literature produced by Arabic writers that draws upon Iranian sources, as well as the role of the Parsi clergy in conserving and transmitting ancient Persian traditions amidst the sociopolitical changes of the Islamic period. In this context, Inostrantzev sets the stage for a deeper exploration into specific literary contributions and their ongoing relevance in both Persian and Arabic traditions.I ranian literary tradition in the opening centuries of Islam 1 The character of the Persian history during the Sasanian epoch 6 Importance of this epoch according to the Arab writers of the first centuries of Islam 10 The position of the Parsi community and the centres of the preservation of Persian tradition during the period of the Khalifat in Tabaristan, Khorasan and Fars 15 The castle of Shiz in the district of Arrajan in the province of Fars described by Istakhri, p. 118, 2-4; 150, 14-7; Ibn Hauqal, p. 189, 1-2; cf. the translator of the Khoday Nameh, Behram, son of Mardanshah of the city of Shapur in the province of Fars 19 This castle was the residence of those acquainted with the Iranian tradition (the badhgozar) and here their archives were lodged 20 ARABIC WRITERS AS SOURCES OF SASANIAN CULTUREWhenever the circumstances have been favourable it has been clearly manifest; when the conditions have been hostile it is not noticeable at the first glance but in reality has been of great consequence. The causes of this are very complicated. And it is necessary on account of its universal value to examine a wide concatenation of facts. But from a general point of view there is no doubt that it has its roots principally in the continuity of the historical and cultural traditions. Particular significance attaches to the circumstance that just in the epoch preceding the Arab conquest Persia had experienced a period of national revival after the horrors that its sovereignty had undergone, at the hands, for instance, of Alexander the Great.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'J ohn Lyly' by John Dover Wilson is a literary treatise written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and works of John Lyly, focusing on his contributions to English prose, namely his novel 'Euphues,' as well as his role as a dramatist and innovator in Elizabethan literature. It delves into the stylistic features of euphuism, a style associated with Lyly, and its significance in the development of English literary forms. The opening of the text outlines the objectives of Wilson's analysis, emphasizing the necessity of a comprehensive examination of Lyly's influence on various literary genres. It discusses the historical context of Lyly's writings and identifies the importance of euphuism and its origins within English literature. The introduction also hints at Lyly's complex interactions with other literary figures of his time and critiques how his reputation has fluctuated in literary scholarship. This foundational chapter establishes a basis for further exploration of Lyly's stylistic innovations and the enduring impact of his work on subsequent English literature.I t was as a novelist that Lyly first came before the world of English letters. In 1578 he published a volume, bearing the inscription, Euphues: the anatomy of wyt, to which was subjoined the attractive advertisement, very pleasant for all gentlemen to reade, and most necessary to remember. This book, which was to work a revolution in our literature, was completed in 1580 by a sequel, entitled Euphues and his England. Euphues, to combine the two parts under one name, the fruit of Lyly's nonage, seems to have determined the form of his reputation for the Elizabethans; and even to-day it attracts more attention than any other of his works. This probably implies a false estimate of Lyly's comparative merits as a novelist and as a dramatist. But it is not surprising that critics, living in the century of the novel, and with their eyes towards the country pre-eminent in its production, should think and write of Lyly chiefly as the first of English novelists. The bias of the age is as natural and as dangerous an element in criticism as the bias of the individual. But it is not with the modern appraisement of Euphues that we are here concerned. Nor need we proceed immediately to a consideration of its position in the history of the English novel. We have first to deal with.…

Still farther to the north is a less elevated region, remarkable for the traces it bears of having been at one time densely populated. Tillage was so extensive that the very hillsides were built up into terraces to be planted with crops. To-day there are hardly any inhabitants, for a good many years ago Mzila, the father of Gungunhana, chief of a fierce and powerful tribe which lives on the lower course of the Sabi River, raided all this country, and in successive invasions killed off or chased away the whole population. Such wholesale slaughter and devastation is no uncommon thing in the annals of South Africa. Tshaka, the uncle of Cetewayo, annihilated the inhabitants over immense tracts round Zululand. And in comparison with such bloodthirsty methods. …

The work draws upon the earlier texts of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur' and was likely written in the early 20th century.

At the start of this retelling, the narrative introduces King Arthur's lineage, detailing how he was born to King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, with the pivotal role of the magician Merlin in Arthur's destiny. As Uther falls sick after marrying Igraine, Merlin takes Arthur for safe upbringing. The story unravels the tension surrounding Arthur's claim to the throne, depicting a legendary sword bound in a stone that only the rightful king can pull out. Arthur's successful extraction of the sword signifies his destiny to rule, setting the stage for his adventures and the formation of the noble Round Table, where he will gather his famous knights to uphold justice and chivalry in England.I t befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England, that there was a mighty duke in Cornwall that held war against him a long time. And the duke was named the Duke of Tintagil. Ten miles away from his castle, called Terrabil, there was, in the castle Tintagil, Igraine of Cornwall, that King Uther liked and loved well, for she was a good and fair lady, and passing wise. He made her great cheer out of measure, and desired to have her love in return; but she would not assent unto him, and for pure anger and for great love of fair Igraine King Uther fell sick. At that time there lived a powerful magician named Merlin, who could appear in any place he chose, could change his looks as he liked, and at will could do wonderful things to help or to harm knights and ladies. So to King Uther came Sir Ulfius, a noble knight, and said, 'I will seek Merlin, and he shall do you remedy so that your heart shall be pleased.' So Ulfius departed, and by adventure met Merlin in beggar's array, and made him promise to be not long behind in riding to Uther's pavilion.…

At Lectoure we changed horses, and remained long enough to admire the fine view from its exalted position, and a few of the humours of its population of young ragged urchins, whose gambols with a huge Pyrenean dog diverted us for some time. Lectoure is situated on the summit of an immense rock, surrounded by hills and deep valleys. It was formerly very strongly fortified, as the remains of its Roman and Middle-Age walls attest. The tower of the church, partly Roman, partly English, is a very striking object, from its extreme height and apparent fragility, which is, however, merely imaginary; for it has resisted the efforts of time and war for cen.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - B akemono Yashiki (The Haunted House), Retold from the Japanese Originals' by James S. De Benneville is a collection of supernatural tales that draw from Japanese folklore, likely composed during the early 20th century. It explores the eerie and the supernatural within the setting of Edo, entwining historical elements with themes of ghostly apparitions, societal hierarchy, and cultural practices. Core characters include Rokuzo, a goodnatured servant, and Aoyama Shu[u]zen, who navigate the complexities of their world interlaced with dark and unsettling supernatural happenings. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Rokuzo, a servant who contemplates his day as he travels home, reflecting on his thirst and social environment. He encounters a beautiful young woman struggling with a heavy burden, which he gallantly offers to help carry. This eventually leads him to a lavish residence where he is treated well, indulged in wine and food, but finds himself caught in a confusing and surreal situation marked by the supernatural. The beginning sets the tone for a world where the boundary between the mundane and the spectral is thin, inviting readers into tales that blend everyday life with Japan's rich tradition of ghost stories.Rokuzo the chu[u]gen sighed as he faced the long slope leading to the Kudanzaka. Pleasant had been his journey to this point. From his master's yashiki in Ichigaya to the shop of the sandal maker Sukebei in lower Kanda it had been one long and easy descent. Sukebei had gratified Rokuzo with the desired and well established commission or 'squeeze.' Orders for sandals in the yashiki of a nobleman were no small item. Rokuzo was easily satisfied. Though of a scant thirty years in age he had not the vice of women, the exactions of whom were the prime source of rascality in the sphere of chu[u]gen, as well as in the glittering train of the palace. At the turn of the road ahead Rokuzo could eye the massive walls of the moat, which hid the fortress and seraglio built up by the skilful hands of Kasuga no Tsubone in her earnest efforts to overcome the woman hating propensities of the San-dai-ke, the third prince of the Tokugawa line, Iyemitsu Ko[u]. Rokuzo was achu[u]gen, servant in attendance on his master Endo[u] Saburo[u]zaemon, hatamoto or immediate vassal of the commander-in-chief, the Sho[u]gun or real ruler in the land of Nippon since the long past days of Taira Kiyomori.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'T he Pupil' by Henry James is a short story first published in 1891. It tells the emotional tale of a precocious boy trapped in a dishonest, wandering American family in Europe. His only trustworthy companion is Pemberton, his impoverished Oxford-educated tutor. As their bond deepens, the boy's frail heart and desperate circumstances converge toward a moment of crisis. When opportunity for escape finally arrives, hesitation proves devastating. James crafts what critics call a classical tragedy exploring loyalty, moral courage, and the cost of inaction.T he poor young man hesitated and procrastinated: it cost him such an effort to broach the subject of terms, to speak of money to a person who spoke only of feelings and, as it were, of the aristocracy. Yet he was unwilling to take leave, treating his engagement as settled, without some more conventional glance in that direction than he could find an opening for in the manner of the large affable lady who sat there drawing a pair of soiled gants de Suède through a fat jewelled hand and, at once pressing and gliding, repeated over and over everything but the thing he would have liked to hear. He would have liked to hear the figure of his salary; but just as he was nervously about to sound that note the little boy came back-the little boyMrs. Moreen had sent out of the room to fetch her fan. He came back without the fan, only with the casual observation that he couldn't find it. As he dropped this cynical confession he looked straight and hard at the candidate for the honour of taking his education in hand. This personage reflected somewhat grimly that the thing he should have to teach his little charge would be to appear to address himself to his mother when he spoke to her-especially not to make her such an improper answer as that. When Mrs. Moreen bethought herself of this pretext for getting rid of theircompanion Pemberton supposed it was precisely to approach the delicate subject of his remuneration. But it had been only to say some things about her son that it was better a boy of eleven shouldn't catch. They were extravagantly to his advantage save when she lowered her voice to sigh, tapping her left side familiarly, 'And all overclouded by this, you know; all at the mercy of a weakness-!' Pemberton gathered that the weakness was in the region of the heart. He had known the poor child was not robust: this was the basis on which he had been invited to treat, through an English lady, an Oxford acquaintance, then at Nice, who happened to know both his needs and those of the amiable American family looking out for something really superior in the way of a resident tutor.…

Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book delves into the evolution of humanity's relationship with nature, exploring how this feeling has changed from antiquity through the Middle Ages to modern times, with a focus on various epochs and the literary expressions of those sentiments. The opening of the text establishes Biese's intentions and context for this exploration. He discusses the historical significance of nature in human life, noting how physical landscapes are reflected in cultural outputs and emotional responses.

Biese, op. cit.] [Footnote 11: Deutsche Rundschau, 1879.] [Footnote 12: Comp. Biese, op. cit.] [Footnote 13: Chrysostom was not only utilitarian, but praised and enjoyed the world's beauty.

Then, with a quick catching of his breath, he made one step to his cousin's side and laid his hand on the unyielding shoulder. The affectionate, familiar terms in which they had always addressed each other sprang involuntarily to his lips. 'Why, James, my lad!' he exclaimed. 'James, lad! James!' Even as he spoke, he knew that James would never hear word or sound again in this world. It needed no more than one glance at the rigid features, one touch of the already fixed and statue-like body, to know that JamesAllerdyke was not only dead, but had been dead some time. And, with a shuddering sigh, Marshall Allerdyke drew himself up and looked round at his surroundings.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'N ada the Lily' by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel published in 1892. Set during the reign of the legendary Zulu king Chaka, it follows Umslopogaas, the king's unacknowledged son, and his forbidden love for Nada, called the most beautiful of Zulu women. Unusual for its era, the novel features an entirely black South African cast. The tale weaves together history, magic, and tragedy as Umslopogaas joins forces with Galazi theWolf to command a spectral wolf pack in a story of loyalty, revenge, and doomed romance.Y ou ask me, my father, to tell you the tale of the youth of Umslopogaas, holder of the iron Chieftainess, the axe Groan-maker, who was named Bulalio the Slaughterer, and of his love for Nada, the most beautiful of Zulu women. It is long; but you are here for many nights, and, if I live to tell it, it shall be told. Strengthen your heart, my father, for I have much to say that is sorrowful, and even now, when I think of Nada the tears creep through the horn that shuts out my old eyes from light. Do you know who I am, my father You do not know. You think that I am an old, old witch-doctor named Zweete. So men have thought for many years, but that is not my name. Few have known it, for I have kept it locked in my breast, lest, though I live now under the law of the White Man, and the Great Queen is my chieftainess, an assegai still might find this heart did any know my name. Look at this hand, my father-no, not that which is withered with fire; look on this right hand of mine. You see it, though I who am blind cannot. But still, within me, I see it as it was once. Ay! I see it red and strong-red withthe blood of two kings. Listen, my father; bend your ear to me and listen. I am Mopo-ah! I felt you start; you start as the regiment of the Bees started when Mopo walked before their ranks, and from the assegai in his hand the blood of Chaka[1] dropped slowly to the earth. I am Mopo who slew Chaka the king. I killed him with Dingaan and Umhlangana the princes; but the wound was mine that his life crept out of, and but for me he would never have been slain. I killed him with the princes, but Dingaan, I and one other slew alone. [1] The Zulu Napoleon, one of the greatest geniuses and most wicked men who ever lived. He was killed in the year 1828, having slaughtered more than a million human beings.-ED. What do you say 'Dingaan died by the Tongola.' Yes, yes, he died, but not there; he died on the Ghost Mountain; he lies in the breast of the old Stone Witch who sits aloft forever waiting for the world to perish. But I also was on the Ghost Mountain. In those days my feet still could travel fast, and vengeance would not let me sleep. I travelled by day, and by night I found him. I and another, we killed him-ah! ah.…
