Barney Fugleman has two major preoccupations in life: sex and literature. He is obsessed by the life and work of a man hailed by many as a genius of the nineteenth century. This curious propulsion drives him out of Finchley, and out of the life he shares with Sharon and her 'rampant marvellings', to Cornwall.

The most influential literary contribution to the politics of the northern States during the mid-to-late 1850's - helping incite State Secession and a horrific four-year war that killed 360,000 Federals - was Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," published in 1851-52, just before the onset of "Bleeding Kansas." Likewise, that war's most influential music/poetry contribution - morally justifying, in the minds of many northern States people, the military conquest of the Confederacy and the huge death toll suffered - was Julia Ward Howe's poem "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1861), a variation upon the then-recent Federal army camp folk song, "John Brown's Body," which was an intentional mockery of a very popular, traditional South Carolina church revival song, "Say, Brothers," its music and lyrics written by William Steffe a few years earlier. The "Battle Hymn" is handed down to us today as "lyrics by Julia Ward Howe and music by William Steffe." The two essays in this booklet are excerpted from Howard Ray White's four volume history, titled, "Bloodstains, an Epic History of the Politics that Produced and Sustained the American Civil War and the Political Reconstruction that Followed." This booklet and other works by the writer are available as e-books and as paper books on Amazon.com. Search "Howard Ray White". In the mid-1800's women were not to be leaders in politics and religion, but Harriet Beecher Stowe and Julia Ward Howe did just that. Of Harriet, daughter of Lyman Beecher and sister of Henry Ward Beecher, both influential Abolitionists/ministers/educators, Sinclair Lewis would write: "Uncle Tom's Cabin was the first evidence to America that no hurricane can be so disastrous to a country as a ruthlessly humanitarian woman." The same could be equally said of Julia, a close friend of Charles Sumner and, wife of Boston Abolitionist leader Samuel Howe, one of the "Secret Six" financial supporters of the notorious John Brown.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, nearly 700 of Cantor Fitzgerald's 1,000 New York employees were at their desks on the top floors of One World Trade Center when a hijacked passenger plane struck eight floors below. None survived.On Top of the World tells the story not only of that tragic day but also of the complicated and emotionally charged events that followed. It is an intimate, often harrowing look at how private families processed a public atrocity, how corporate war-room strategy sessions saved the company from liquidation and the efforts of opportunistic competitors.This book examines the media scrutiny that followed Howard Lutnick, who struggled to be at once the compassionate leader the grieving families needed and the tough-minded CEO his decimated company required. It also tells the story of the men and women of Cantor whose lost coworkers were relatives and friends, and brothers and sisters. That Cantor's business has survived and even flourished -- and that an initially uneasy but ultimately significant covenant has been formed between those who lived and the families of their lost friends -- is a powerful testament to the ability of a community to endure.

Govard Fillips Lavkraft. ne opublikovavshij pri zhizni ni odnoj knigi, stal majakom i orientirom zhanra literatury uzhasov, kumirom kak shirokikh chitatelskikh mass, tak i rafinirovannykh intellektualov. Vlijanie ego priznavali takie mastera, kak Borkhes, i takie kumiry millionov, kak Stiven King, ego rasskazy neodnokratno ekranizirovalis, a samo imja pisatelja stalo naritsatelnym. Fransua Baranzhe - frantsuzskij khudozhnik, dizajner kompjuternykh igr, kontseptualist i futurist. Mechtu oformit Lavkrafta on vynashival mnogo let - i vot nakonets mechta sbylas: sperva s illjustratsijami frantsuzskogo mastera vyshel "Zov Ktulkhu", a teper vashemu vnimaniju predlagaetsja drugaja klassicheskaja povest - "Khrebty Bezumija" (tom I). Itak, Miskatonikskij universitet iz goroda Arkkhema otpravljaet v Antarktidu issledovatelskuju ekspeditsiju, osnaschennuju po poslednemu slovu tekhniki. To, chto oni obnaruzhat v drevnikh dokembrijskikh okamenelostjakh, sposobno perevernut vsju privychnuju kartinu mirozdanija. No gotovo li chelovechestvo k takomu otkrytiju?..
