Excerpt from Books and Characters, French EnglishWhen Ingres painted his vast "Apotheosis of Homer," he represented, grouped round the central throne, all the great poets of the ancient and modern worlds, with a single exception - Shakespeare. After some persuasion, he relented so far as to introduce into his picture a part of that offensive personage; and English visitors at the Louvre can now see, to their disgust or their amusement, the truncated image of rather less than half of the author of King Lear just appearing at the extreme edge of the enormous canvas. French taste, let us hope, has changed since the days of Ingres; Shakespeare would doubtless now be advanced - though perhaps chiefly from a sense of duty - to the very steps of the central throne. But if an English painter were to choose a similar subject, how would he treat the master who stands acknowledged as the most characteristic representative of the literature of France? Would Racine find a place in the picture at all? Or, if he did, would more of him be visible than the last curl of his full-bottomed wig, whisking away into the outer darkness?There is something inexplicable about the intensity of national tastes and the violence of national differences. If, as in the good old days, I could boldly believe a Frenchman to be an inferior creature, while he, as simply, wrote me down a savage, there would be an easy end of the matter. But alas! nous avons changé tout cela.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The sweetest Bloomsberry By Christopher (o.d.c.) Publication date: 1915As far as I can tell, there is only an ampersand's difference between this (fre)e-book, and the one I reviewed two years ago:Books and Characters French and English, but I didn't mind downloading it again, re-reading it, and re-reviewing it. Simply put, this is a great book. One of the best collections of literary essays ever.Strachey is particularly good at making the case for French authors unappreciated by the British. Why is Racine a classic?"... Every art is based upon a selection, and the art of Racine selected the things of the spirit for the material of its work. The things of sense—physical objects and details, and all the necessary but insignificant facts that go to make up the machinery of existence—these must be kept out of the picture at all hazards. To have called a spade a spade would have ruined the whole effect; spades must never be mentioned, or, at the worst, they must be dimly referred to as agricultural implements, so that the entire attention may be fixed upon the central and dominating features of the composition—the spiritual states of the characters—which, laid bare with uncompromising force and supreme precision, may thus indelibly imprint themselves upon the mind."Later, he makes the case for Stendhal:A statement of law can have no place for irrelevant beauties, or the vagueness of personal feeling; by its very nature, it must resemble a sheet of plate glass through which every object may be seen with absolute distinctness, in its true shape. Beyle declared that he was in the habit of reading several paragraphs of the Code every morning after breakfast 'pour prendre le ton.' This again was for long supposed to be one of his little jokes; but quite lately the searchers among the MSS. at Grenoble have discovered page after page copied out from the Code in Beyle's handwriting. No doubt, for that wayward lover of paradoxes, the real joke lay in everybody taking for a joke what he took quite seriously.(Strachey has passages in French throughout the book which he seldom translates. It was just enough French for me- like a quiz)The sequence of essays on Voltaire amount to a mini-biography, including a devastating look at one of Voltaire's tragedies:... For us, as we take down the dustiest volume in our bookshelf, as we open it vaguely at some intolerable tirade, as we make an effort to labour through the procession of pompous commonplaces which meets our eyes, as we abandon the task in despair, and hastily return the book to its forgotten corner—to us it is well-nigh impossible to imagine the scene of charming brilliance which, five generations since, the same words must have conjured up. The splendid gaiety, the refined excitement, the pathos, the wit, the passion—all these things have vanished as completely from our perceptions as the candles, the powder, the looking-glasses, and the brocades, among which they moved and had their being.For me, Virginia Woolf's celebrated essays are pale imitations of these.

First published in 1979 – The Uninvited is the true story of an ordinary family living in South Wales who found themselves entangled in a series of unearthly encounters in 1977. At first the manifestations were minor. UFOs were sighted in the area, huge burnt patches were found in the fields, television sets and cars blew all of their wiring…but before long the Coombs family was visited by weird lights, huge white figures and a glowing disembodied hand. Their lives were disrupted and they were terrified by something unidentifiable and unimaginable. They were a focus for The Uninvited. For the first time in decades, the book has been revised and renewed with all new additional content and digitally enhanced photographs.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One Family's UFO/Alien Terror in West Wales, 1977 By Johns The Welsh Triangle and The Dyfed Enigma cover aspects of the experiences of the Coombs family, but The Uninvited by journalist Clive Harold presents the full, shocking story. The Coombs owned a farm and you've got to feel sorry for their cows: teleported from one place to the other, sometimes backwards or forwards in time too. They ended up repeatedly stampeding into barbed wire and electrified fences. The family dog had to be put to sleep as it would repeatedly run round in circles, snarling. A strange hand is observed floating in a bedroom at night, which touches the farmer's wife while she sleeps. She subsequently develops pain in the area touched. A lady in white suddenly appears in front of a tractor that the farmer's son is driving. He feels the bump as the tractor goes over her body, but no body is found. Aliens are seen at Stack Rocks, near Broad Haven, off the Pembrokeshire coast. No plant life or bird life is seen on these rocks and no snow ever settles there. Strange Men-in-Black type characters appear, driving a mysterious silver car that vanishes abruptly. Compelling stuff!

Excerpt from The Makers of English ProseIn writing a new preface to the revised edition of this book, it seems necessary to enter upon a brief explanation of the nature and scope of my work in order to avoid some obvious misconceptions, and to disarm some equally obvious criticisms.While it is tolerably certain that no competent student of literature will object to any of the names included in this series, it is quite probable that such a student will regret the omission of some names to which he will think that literary magnanimity should have extended inclusion and recognition. But the question is not one of magnanimity but of justice. English literature is rich in writers of distinction, many of whom in their own day have enjoyed eminence and fame, and have exercised considerable influence over their contemporaries, but they do not rank with the makers of literature. The perspective of time reveals an efficient artist, but not the kind of artist who has enlarged the possibilities of art by the opulence of his own gift. When we name the final category of the supreme excellence the category must needs be narrow.It would be tedious, and indeed impossible to give all the reasons for the inclusion or exclusion of various names. For example, it may appear an error in judgment that Froude and Robertson should be included among the makers of English prose, when writers such as John Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer are excluded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Account of the English Novel & Its Authors, More Specimum of Period Sensibility Than Still Valid Guide for Literary Assessment By Gerald Parker The author of this book, William James Dawson, was a turn-of-the-century (i.e. the 19th into the 20th) Christian writer. His publisher, F. H. Revell, which in 1905 published the "second edition" of this book (amounting, according to the firm's own pagination indications, to 316 pages) about prose literature, also issued some of Dawson's sermons and other religious writings among Revell's other books of which Dawson was author. Therefore, the reader should not be surprised if Dawson's studies of these selected English authors of fiction have a strongly Protestant Christian orientation, but Dawson was among such authors who were of wide sympathies and relatively broad views; indeed, the publisher, Revell, was a Christian firm, but one which came to cater primarily to the Fundamentalist sectarian and conservative Evangelical market (in later decades also for a "Neo-Evangelical" readership). This makes the company's work to publish various books (whether for the first time or after a publisher in Great Britain had handled them, too) by a Protestant author so unmistakably liberal, as W.J. Dawson certainly was, to seem rather unusual.The writers to whom Dawson most directs his attention at chapter length (or even two), or at only somewhat less extended length than that, are Defoe, Fielding, Walpole, Austen, Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontë sisters, Eliot, Reade, Kingsley, Meredith, Hardy, and Stevenson. Others, of course, are mentioned along the way and there is even a chapter devoted to American authors, with substantial comments within it about novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and short fiction writer Edgar Allan Poe; more about those choices later.There is, as well (and unsurprisingly), a chapter titled "Religion in Fiction", devoted largely to novelists (among them, J. H. Shorthouse) whose religious motives and intent go beyond the usual presence of religious thought that is present to some degree or other in so much of the English and American fiction of the period. In that chapter, true to his liberal mindset, Dawson gives the highest praise to some agnostic, unbelieving writers, especially to William Hale White (whose pseudonym was Mark Rutherford).Dawson does not limit his comments, by any means, alone to the religious aspect of the thought and literary production of the various English novelists whom he singled out for treatment. Being a liberal (or "broad") Protestant of his time, the Christian viewpoint from which Dawson examines things is not at all of a narrow or cramped sort of mentality. Indeed, Dawson's views plausibly might seem even to be rather of proto-neo-orthodox orientation, caught up, as Dawson seems to have been, in the theological trend that went, by way of the 19th Century's Friedrich Schleiermacher, to coalesce, a bit later in the 20th Century than at the time of Dawson's book, in the theology of Karl Barth and of his neo-orthodox ilk. Of course, any Christian standpoint, however conservative or liberal it might be, will be welcome to some, or irrelevant to others, in coming to any understanding appreciation of English prose fiction.Liberal or otherwise, the smugly Edwardian bourgeois values which Dawson espouses, probably from being so much a creature of his own time, are particularly evident in his comments on the novels of Charles Kingsley and of Sir Walter Scott. Dawson admires these novelists, surely, more for the ideals which they express than really for these authors' genuine literary standing, now considerably downgraded.That is especially so in the case of Scott, whose excesses (of sentiment, romaniticised mediaevalism, and so forth), now so widely derided, seem to be among what Dawson, for his part, most relishes in that man's novels. As well, Dawson has much affection for what is most heroically virtuous and is most romantically antiquarian and quixotic in Scott's own life and tastes. Dawson's values are so utterly bourgeois and moralising that he seems to post vertable sentinels that inadvertently forbid entry to what are the real pleasures of the writing of a figure like George Meredith, obsessing approvingly over aspects of Meredith's art that most modern readers merely would tolerate for the sake of that which is much better therein.As for Charles Kingsley, that man himself was manifestly bourgeois in both the best and in the most tiresome regards, but he also was a man and a writer of considerable energy and public virtue. Kingsley, indeed, is one of the writers perhaps most akin to Dawson's own character and ideals; although he criticises him, too, Dawson draws a sympathetic portrait of Kingsley which is fairly free of Dawson's own worst excesses in evaluating some of the other writers in his studies of them.In the case of an author of such relentless atheistic and sceptical worldview as George Eliot (the female of that mannish name), the liberal in Dawson appreciates her principled stance and even, perhaps surprisingly, condones her sexual deviation from the Victorian-Edwardian norm. Perhaps the genuinely Christian core of Dawson's liberal Christianity seeks more resonances with evangelical hangover than Eliot herself really provides. At least Dawson found much in Eliot to which to relate, even if not necessarily on so sound a footing as he may have thought to be the case!And so it goes with other writers whom Dawson discusses; he provides insights of real worth regarding some, a good example being his assessment of Charles Reade's personal and literary strengths and weaknesses, while, on the other hand, Dawson seems out-of-touch, too awash in sentiment, or just too mired in his liberal-evangelical-bourgeois values to convey to the reader anything of much value about so many of the other writers. The book is uneven, but it is worth dipping into for what is good within its pages.Although the Dawson's writing is, for the most part, readable enough, if tinted with more than a little stuffiness and pomposity, sometmes - really too often! -- Dawson's prose becomes excessively florid. At times this putative scholar's style is as turgid and contrived, in its own different way, as the overly luxuriant manner that pervades the printed sermons of another (very celebrated) preacher, 19th century Boston's Phillips Brooks. When that occurs, Dawson's writing can induce sheer fatigue in the reader, due to the lush rhetorical moss which proliferates in such passages, rendering them tedious to plow through. An example of such a sluggishly enfeebled portion of Dawson's book is its chapter on Thomas Hardy.Perhaps it is some unbending earnestness in Dawson's temperament that causes him to underestimate grossly the great contribution of the humourist, Mark Twain, whom Dawson only barely mentions in the American chapter of his book. Mark Twain was author who is every bit, in his own different way, of lterary stature akin to that of Nathaniel Hawthorne!One has to wonder, too, about Dawson's own critical acumen, given, for instance, his praise (in the chapter centring on religious fiction of alike pious and staunchly unbelieving writers) for the likes of two smarmy passages, oozing sentiment, which he quotes from Joseph Henry Shorthouse. It is true that Dawson takes that novelist to task for what he regards as being yet worse in Shorthouse's prose, but if the quoted passages are among one which Dawson finds commendable (!!), one has to wonder about Dawson's literary judgment! If what Dawson quotes really be of the best that Shorthouse could accomplish, imagine the fetid swamp that so much of the rest of Shorthouse's saccharine prose must be! In the 1905 Revell edition, these quotes, both from Shorthouse's best remembered (i.e. least forgotten) novel, "John Inglesant", appear between pages 274 and 277, interspersed with Dawson's stomach-churningly admiring comments.The writers to whom Dawson most directs his attention at chapter length (or even two), or at only somewhat less extended length than that, are Defoe, Fielding, Walpole, Austen, Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontë sisters, Eliot, Reade, Kingsley, Meredith, Hardy, and Stevenson. Others, of course, are mentioned along the way and there is even that chapter, already alluded to, which is devoted to American authors, with substantial comments within it about novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and short fiction writer Edgar Allan Poe. There is, as well and unsurprisingly, a chapter titled "Religion in Fiction", devoted largely to novelists (among them, unimpressively, Shorthouse, already mentioned) whose religious motives and intent go beyond the usual presence of religious thought or incident that are present to some degree or other in so much of the English and American fiction of the period. In that particular chapter, true to his liberal Protestant mindset, Dawson gives the highest praise to some agnostic, unbelieving writers, especially to William Hale White (whose pseudonym was Mark Rutherford).Dawson is thoroughly of his era, i.e. the later Victorian and the Edwardian years prior to the First World War. His self-satisfied convictions about life and art lead him to pontificate on these and other grand matters insufferably (and too often!), a prime example of that being the book's concluding chapter, the "Concluding Survey", by which time the reader's patience has been strained to the very limit of endurance. However, before that sententious conclusion, Dawson has conveyed much useful information, including not a few at least partially valid judgments. Even if one does not enjoy the fiction or literary criticism from those years of the late Nineteenth Century and the very beginning of the 20th, Dawson's book at least provides a decent, straightforward specimen of the sensibility of those decades.

Excerpt from A Bundle of LettersThere is one thing, I hope - that you don't show any of my letters to William Platt. If he wants to see any of my letters, he knows the right way to go to work. I wouldn't have him see one of these letters, written for circulation in the family, for anything in the world. If he wants one for himself, he has got to write to me first. Let him write to me first, and then I will see about answering him. You can show him this if you like; but if you show him anything more, I will never write to you again...I told you in my last about my farewell to England, my crossing the channel, and my first impressions of Paris. I have thought a great deal about that lovely England since I left it, and all the famous historic scenes I visited; but I have come to the conclusion that it is not a country in which I should care to reside. The position of woman does not seem to me at all satisfactory, and that is a point, you know, on which I feel very strongly. It seems to me that in England they play a very faded-out part, and those with whom I conversed had a kind of depressed and humiliated tone; a little dull, tame look, as if they were used to being snubbed and bullied, which made me want to give them a good shaking. There are a great many people - and a great many things, too - over here that I should like to perform that operation upon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Bundle of Letters (Classic Reprint), by Henry James

About the Author Henry James (1843-1916), American novelist and critic, was an innovator in technique and a distinctive prose stylist. More than any previous writer, James refined the technique of narrating a novel from the point of view of a character, thereby laying the foundations of modern stream-of-consciousness fiction. Among his many acclaimed novels are "The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, The Golden Bowl, "and "The Wings of the Dove.".

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very perceptive book on how people from different backgrounds have totally different views about themselves and others. By Yolanda Q Gusmao The letters in the title refer to the letters that guests write home from a Paris Frenchwomen's boarding home, expressing opinions on the other guests in the house. The characters in this small book are: a single New Enlgand young lady travelling alone, an American mother and daughter, a British brother and sister, a German doctor and the French cousin of the owner of the house. Very perceptive and on the mark. Great read if you are interested on how cultural prejudices affect our view on virtually the same people.

0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. what even is this? By Doctor's Companion Even though I had already read and disliked "A Portrait of a Lady", I decided to give James another try. Disappointing. There is absolutely no plot, nothing happens, no comedy, no romance. I only finished it since I wanted to grow my read pile and reach my goal, and it is a really short epistolary novel. I wouldn't recommend this at all.

Platt Okay, I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan and psyched about the Force Awakens (fingers crossed, don't mess it up, JJ!). Usually I don't pick up stuff like this, but I've been curious to learn more about Ms. Ridley, and the price was right. Not disappointed - no movie spoilers, but definitely picked up a ton of info, and was surprised at how involved the casting process was. Also some cool insight into her interactions with the other cast members, like Harrison Ford. Worth a read.

Pretty comprehensive for someone who is just hitting the spotlight. Can't wait to see how Daisy's career takes off. Pretty cool that the book compares her to other actresses like Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson. Not sure if Daisy will hit that top tier but I'm definitely rooting for her!

'1': The Ultimate Foundation of Nature, by Orest Bedrij

About the Author Orest Bedrij is a multidisciplinary research scientist in the foundation of nature, of '1', at the Institute for Advanced Study of '1'. For the past fortyseven years, he has been integrating human efforts to rigorously conceptualize, verify, and systematize the unity of disparate phenomena in their expressions in diverse mathematical frameworks, sciences, religions, and wisdom traditions. While unifying scientific theories and mathematical structures under one allembracing theory of everything, he has also been searching for answers on how to expand the limits of our critical thinking and human capacities. Bedrij reveals new insights in the grand unification of empirical support through physics and the science of the mind, with verification of the ultimate foundation of nature-the deep and profound meaning of our existence as participators in the creative process of nature. At the age of twentynine, Bedrij was IBM's technical director at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. He was responsible for the development and integration of the Space Flight Operations Facility computer complex that controlled the first soft landing on the moon.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. FINALLY, a proven Theory of Everything By david WOW!! I can scarcely believe it. Truly a triumph of modern physics. Mankind's greatest mystery revealed (for less than $30, a quantum gift from the universe). Finally, a PROVEN "Theory of Everything." It appears that Mr. Bedrij has discovered, decoded and validated the very core, the baseline of Nature itself, and is offering his remarkable work to the world within these pages. Of course, it will take a brilliant team at a major university and National Science Academy to (counter) prove this breakthrough. Please note that Mr Bedrij started with scientific measurements (not theory) CODATA constants, and actually runs out the formulas for the reader (does all the work).As an avid reader of classical physics, from Einstein to Bohr to Wheeler to Hawking and much of the New Age and Quantum material from Ken Wilber, Lisa Randall, Leonard Susskind, Lynne McTaggart, Brian Greene, Richard Feynman, John Hagelin, Fred Alan Wolf, etc., This book is theWINNER!! This description and validation of the mathematical basis of the absolute zero ('1') as the Foundation of Nature and therefore The Foundation of Everything is what we, the human race has been in search of so diligently for so long. This book contains validation of Mr Bedrij's work (apparently he spent 47 years on this material) via 5 methodologies. You pick which methodologies provide the most comfort and/or usefulness for you.Calling all scientists, physicists, researchers, professors, teachers, hobbyists, etc. Please take this challenge and prove or disprove this remarkable undertaking. Your fellow humans are waiting for the resolution. I cannot, as of yet, prove this material but I can feel that YOUR ANSWERS are here. Within this book may well be the "missing link" in your research project. Anyone stuck, including String Theorists should mine this document for (until now) unknown solutions. Mr. Bedrij states on the back flap (hard cover) that this is "a game changer" and I agree. This material is the BREAKTHROUGH that we have all been awaiting. Please have the courage and fortitude to give it a test ride, mankind is awaiting YOUR BREAKTHROUGHS. It is my personal hope that "the good guys" ( however you define the good guys), are able to put these incredible Laws of Physics (formulas) to good use for mankind, before the "bad guys" (again, however you define bad) comprehend what is included within these pages.The apparent simplicity of it is overwhelming. Mr. Bedrij quotes the brilliant Physicist, John Wheeler, who stated that when we finally find the key to the Theory of Everything our response will be: "How could we all have been so blind so long?" Well, what the bleep did we know?'What the Bleep do we know?" EVERYTHING --- NOW, well at least we are on the cusp of knowing everything. So we can no longer call it The THEORY of Everything.....haha. Ok, scientists get to work, please.Thank you,Mr. Bedrij, for this incredible paradigm changing scientific breakthrough. And may the force be with you all

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. He continues where great minds such as Wheeler By George Rowinski Orest Bedril has done it again. He continues where great minds such as Wheeler, Einstein and Bohr left off.Bedrij addresses the mysteries of existence, Being, universal law, qualitatively and quantitatively. Dr. Bedrij bases his formulas of mathematics on the illusive and ancient concept of point zero '0' of consciousness and mathematics of '1'.Ancient esoteric sciences have espoused the principle of "I AM, I AM THAT, SHUNIYA". THE AUTHOR IS PROVING THIS REALITY MATHEMATICALLY.To have developed the mystery of mysteries to ITS final conclusion, indeed Orest Bedrij must reside in point zero '0'-Shuniya, and lives, as THE ALL IS ONE, AND ONE IS ALL. Bedrij is the universal Presencebehind everything as ALL-NESS,,,,,,INN-NESS,,,,,,IN BETWEEN -NESS.George Rowinski

By Paula “In Orest Bedrij’s superb new edition to his book ‘1’, the most important question of all time is revisited and addressed utilizing a set of physical constants to truly answer any question that any man has ever asked about our existence. This is not the “ chicken or the egg “ question but rather a blueprint for identifying the mathematical consciousness that existed before our own. Through this brilliant, smart and visionary work, Orest determines the final law of nature by computing over two hundred thousand laws of physics compiled in three life changing volumes.”

Following in his father s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.

Ebook PDF Online Uggie--My Story, by Uggie

A heartwarming memoir by the Jack Russell Terrier that starred in The Artist and Water for Elephants.Dear Reader: Wow! Bow wow! It’s been a wild ride—wilder even than learning to water-ski or skateboard. I’m so famous now that The New York Times plugged my autobiography. “Uggie will bark all in a memoir,” it announced. Well, I’ve certainly had a lot to bark about lately. Even before The Artist stunned us all by hitting the big time and winning five Oscars, inside I knew (as did my wonderful acting coach Omar) that I was an artist. I may have been merely a pound-bound hound when I joined Omar’s troupe, and certain species-ist quarters have contended that I mindlessly do tricks for treats, but it’s not true. I was milking a crowd as a young street performer when my canine companions and I were doing gigs for biscuit money. Yes, I’ve always been a bit of an attention-seeker, but aren’t all great actors? Expect some real treats. Perhaps not quite as tasty as pizza, but still lip-smackingly good. Not just the stories of how I got into showbiz or why I fell nose over paws in love with my divine Miss W (that’s Reese Witherspoon to the rest of you), but also the dirty doggie truth about Cat-Gate. And, well, a few more youthful misdemeanors . . .such as Zebra-Gate and Cockatoo-Gate and the truly shameful Binge-Gate. I’m fond of a good romp, and this candid canine tell-all zips along with revealing tales of celebrity encounters and how I cope with fame. Of course there’s some sad stuff too, including the health problems that forced me into early retirement. I’ve given my all in this honest-to-dog Hollywood memoir, because that’s what I always do. I hope you’ll gobble up every word, just like I wolf down sausages. Love and licks, Uggie

Uggie--My Story, by Uggie

Review "A rollicking romp of a read" (Dogster.com)"Demonstrates the importance of a dog’s presence in our lives, on an off screen. As he writes (or barks), quoting an unknown author, 'Dogs are miracles with paws.'" (The Hollywood Reporter)"Perhaps the most famous pet memoir since presidential pooch Millie told her tale of life in the White House in 1992, Uggie's story, filled with plenty of name-dropping, details his rise from puppy-hood to movie stardom." (The LA Times)"My Story gives plenty of doggie dish" (The Tucson Citizen)"Uggie--My Story is a wonderful read filled with humor and heartfelt moments told by one of the industry's icons. If you love Uggie (and seriously, folks, who doesn't?), you have to read this book. The Uggster's personality comes through on every page and reaffirms that, even though he walks on four legs, he's one of the best talents there is in Tinsel Town. My Take: A definite must read." (Caine Gardner Greencastle Banner-Graphic)"Heavy on the laughs." (People)Uggie promises to bring his fans all the way back to his humble beginnings. (Parade)

About the Author Uggie is the beloved Jack Russell Terrier best known for his roles in The Artist and Water for Elephants.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Without wonder and insight, acting is just a business. With it, it becomes creation. —Michael ChekhovThe humans were excited. With my keen sight and sense of smell, I could tell that something was up. My Facebook and Twitter pages were abuzz, and everyone had been prepping for hours. Mom Mercy had been to the nail salon and Dad Omar had shaved—inexplicably—twice. Smells of soap and shaving foam, perfume and hairspray overpowered my nostrils, until I sneezed them clear. Having endured another pawdicure and full-body grooming, I jumped onto my skateboard and completed a few circuits of the swimming pool to loosen up. Sniffing the air, I detected a whiff of squirrel and spotted it chattering nonsensically, as it did its high-wire act on the telephone line slung high above our backyard. Flying into a rage at the sight of that bushy-tailed trespasser, I abandoned my board and barked until my throat ached. No amount of coaching could rid me of my intense dislike of squirrels, birds, cats, and—oddly—zebras, but more on that later. I was, however, getting a little long in the tooth to keep chasing vermin, or anything else for that matter. My sixty years (in human terms) of performing in commercials, motion pictures, photo shoots, and animal shows were beginning to take their toll. My bones creaked, my legs trembled, and Dad had retired me from waterskiing, which was a shame, because I was both a speed freak and a water lover. I was born an Aquarian in February 2002, to Jack Russell parents. According to an astrology channel I watched with my fellow couch potato Gordo (an American bulldog), those born under the sign of the water carrier are intelligent seekers of life’s mysteries, whose quest is to be unique. We are loyal, honest, inventive, and original. On the downside, Aquarians can sometimes be exhibitionists. I qualify on all counts. I can recall very little about my puppyhood. I think I met my father once when he came to sniff dispassionately at me and my sprawling siblings. All that I remember of my mother was that she was gentle and nurturing; the smell of warm milk would forever remind me of her. Sadly I was plucked from her teat early on and sold to the first stranger to pick me out from the litter. Banishing that unhappy memory, I sprawled on the deck with my legs splayed flat on the cool concrete. I was sweltering under the California sun after my blow-dry. I toyed with the idea of jumping in the pool to cool off, but I suspected that wouldn’t be a popular move, especially as I was sporting a bow tie made especially for me by Chopard. Featuring an eighteen-karat-gold bone inscribed with my name, the $60,000 adornment was mine for one night only, before being auctioned off to benefit an animal rescue charity.It’s not every day an actor sports a $60,000 bow tie Although I was grateful to Chopard and fully applauded the sentiment behind the gift, I still scratched at the floppy black satin to loosen it a little. I’ve never been a fan of getting dressed up like a human. I just don’t see the point. What is wrong with a little nudity, when you are in such great shape as I am? Admittedly, I’ve seen a few Shar-Peis who could do with some head-to-toe couture (or a burka), and every full-male Great Dane I’ve met could benefit from some athletic support (if you catch my meaning), but generally, I believe in going au naturel. One exception to my thoughts on costumery is the Palm Dog, a sturdy leather piece with a tastefully engraved inscription. A panel of international film critics awarded it to me in 2011, in lieu of a human Palme d’Or, at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yes: France, where I shall one day pad my paws along the famous Croisette with the best of them (and, no doubt, leave a few choice p-mails for my fans). The Palm Dog was my first major award and therefore my most highly prized. Even Lassie didn’t get one of those, although, to be fair, the concept of honoring four-legged actors hadn’t been dreamt up back then. As I lay panting by the pool wondering what theatrics I might have to perform for Dad later that night, I felt my stomach rumble. It had been more than an hour since my last meal, and that could only mean one thing: “Lights! Camera! Action!” Not that I minded, really. Being in the spotlight appeals to my exhibitionist side. I especially enjoy showing humans how to perform a stunt properly or deliver a scene in a single take. I listen to my cues from Omar, play my part, and aim to be “right on the money,” as he calls it. On set, directors love working with me, because I am usually the last character they have to worry about. Often, though, something is still not quite right (various human errors) and we have to go for another take. My tummy rumbled once more. Everyone was getting so animated about this Oscar guy. I didn’t know who the heck he was, but I knew one thing. If he didn’t have a sausage treat for me in his pocket, then I’d give him a trick to remember. My finale might well include a special award that couldn’t easily be cleaned off any carpet—not even a fancy red one. More compelling than these thoughts, however, was the hope that my beloved Miss Witherspoon might be at the evening’s big event. It is no great secret in Hollywood that “Miss W” and I forged a unique bond on the set of my previous movie, Water for Elephants, which had also starred Twilight’s heartthrob Robert Pattinson. By the way, I never really got what all the fuss was over Mr. P, (or RPattz, as his fans called him). On any given day, there’d be hordes of young female humans screaming for him at the studio gates, but the supposedly smoldering biped couldn’t even skateboard as well as me!The chance to smother Miss Witherspoon’s face in Uggie’s trademark slobber? Now that is worth a howl or three. As someone born in the sign of impulsive Aries, she is highly compatible with my cool Aquarian nature. Ours was one of spontaneous attraction. It was literally written in the stars that we were destined to enjoy what I hope will be a deep and enduring love. Whenever I came into her orbit, the incandescent smile she gave me was even more captivating than a slice of pepperoni. To preserve my movie star demeanor, I frequently had to be pulled away. In spite of some of the more scurrilous gossip in the Tinseltown press, I never once tried to hump her leg (although I do confess to slipping her the tongue once, during an off-set smooch). Even when she was clad in little more than a sparkly bikini as she rode bareback on a circus horse, I remained entirely chivalrous, as befitting a middle-aged gentleman in the company of a lovely Louisiana lady. Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Katy Perry—they all have vied for my affections at the many awards ceremonies to which we have been invited, since my latest movie, The Artist, had its first sniff of success. But there is only room for one Hollywood beauty in my terrier heart. I sighed and rested my head on my paws. “Oh, Reese,” I pondered dreamily, “why haven’t you called?”

Uggie - My Story is one of the best Hollywood autobiographies By Jeff York Uggie's biography, and it is a true biography, not just a stunt book, is an inspiring tale (tail?) about a shelter dog who was rescued and with the right love and patience, became not only a thriving and happy family member, but a star in Hollywood as well. He tells about his early days when he was an undisciplined pup and how Omar Muller found him, adopted him, and gave him the love he needed to become a great, loving dog.If you loved THE ARTIST, and I sure did, than you'll love Uggie's cheeky behind-the-scene stories of his work in commercials, shows and movies. His affection for his co-star Reese Witherspoon, who he made WATER FOR ELEPHANTS with, is a fun love story all on its own! And the affection that Uggie has for Jean Dujardin and everyone associated with THE ARTIST is a joy. His chapters on the journey of that movie from indie to sensation is compelling reading for any movie fan.I can also tell you I've worked with many animals in my days as a creative director at an ad agency, on all kinds of pet products for Heinz and Quaker Oats (I worked with Morris the Cat!) so I know animal talent when I see it. And I know how they work together with their trainers. And I can see it all that Omar does with Uggie that he's tremendously loving, giving, kind, and patient with him. Uggie and Omar is the real love story at the core of the biography. And it will move you to laughter and tears.UGGIE: MY STORY is one of the most delightful books I've read, and one of the best Hollywood autobiographies too. (I am now a screenwriter too and I've read many, many Hollywood bio's and autobiographies due to my passion for the industry and truly, this book is one of the best!) This is a moving and compelling story. It's cleverly written with lots of cheeky humor through out.At the end of it all, I think you'd be moved, amused, and delighted. Uggie's story is an inspiring one and proof that animal adoption from shelters is the way to go. Uggie is proof that there is a great dog in every cage out there. And he's proven to be a terrific actor, star and now author. In all that he does, he truly earns the title artist.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely Delightful! By Lisa I've been early awaiting the release of Uggie's book, and it's every bit as good as I hoped it would be!! A roughly chronological look into the life of Uggie, his many 'siblings' are briefly mentioned throughout the book from Uggie's candid point of view. The book describes so many of Uggie's behind-the-scenes views on everything he'd done while he was learning his behaviors and moving up the ladder to eventual stardom. A must read for everyone who enjoys reading autobiographies of celebrities!

So beautifully written and insightful, it's a tail well told of an inspiring canine star and his wonderful friends and family. Not to be missed for it's heart, humor and insight!

The Odyssey (/ˈɒdəsi/; Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia, pronounced [o.dýs.sej.ja] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. Scholars believe it was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths) and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage. It continues to be read in the Homeric Greek and translated into modern languages around the world. Many scholars believe that the original poem was composed in an oral tradition by an aoidos (epic poet/singer), perhaps a rhapsode (professional performer), and was more likely intended to be heard than read.[2] The details of the ancient oral performance, and the story's conversion to a written work inspire continual debate among scholars. The Odyssey was written in a poetic dialect of Greek—a literary amalgam of Aeolic Greek, Ionic Greek, and other Ancient Greek dialects—and comprises 12,110 lines of dactylic hexameter.[4][5] Among the most noteworthy elements of the text are its non-linear plot, and the influence on events of choices made by women and serfs, besides the actions of fighting men. In the English language as well as many others, the word odyssey has come to refer to an epic voyage.

The Odyssey: Golden Illustrated Classics (Comes with a Free Audiobook), by Homer

Amazon.com Review Robert Fagles's translation is a jaw-droppingly beautiful rendering of Homer's Odyssey, the most accessible and enthralling epic of classical Greece. Fagles captures the rapid and direct language of the original Greek, while telling the story of Odysseus in lyrics that ring with a clear, energetic voice. The story itself has never seemed more dynamic, the action more compelling, nor the descriptions so brilliant in detail. It is often said that every age demands its own translation of the classics. Fagles's work is a triumph because he has not merely provided a contemporary version of Homer's classic poem, but has located the right language for the timeless character of this great tale. Fagles brings the Odyssey so near, one wonders if the Hollywood adaption can be far behind. This is a terrific book.

From Publishers Weekly Robert Fagles's 1990 translation of The Iliad was highly praised; here, he moves to The Odyssey. As in the previous work, he adroitly mixes contemporary language with the driving rhythms of the original. The first line reads: "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns/ driven time and again off course once he had plundered/ the hallowed heights of Troy." Hellenic scholar Bernard Knox contributes extensive introductory commentary, providing both historical and literary perspective.

From Library Journal Translator Fagles (comparative literature, Princeton Univ.) offers a new verse translation of the Odyssey, a worthy companion to his version of the Iliad (LJ 8/90). Joining the translations of Robert Fitzgerald, Richard Lattimore, and, more recently, Allan Mandelbaum, his version attempts to achieve readability and the vigor of the original, avoiding the anachronizing of Fitzgerald. At the same time he is more literal than Lattimore and Mandelbaum. As with his Iliad, this translation is accompanied by a long introduction, notes, and glossaries, provided by noted classicist Bernard Knox. Fagles's Iliad and Odyssey provide both the general reader and the student of literature a fine version of Homer in English.?Thomas L.

A nearly perfect conjunction of elements By Robert Moore Fagle's translation of THE ODYSSEY in the Penguin edition is an almost perfect act of publishing. The translation itself manages to be enormously readable, highly poetic, and extremely accurate, all at the same time. The Introduction by Bernard Knox should serve as a model for all scholars who are called upon to write critical introductions for classic works of literature. And the book design is is extraordinary; this edition of Homer's classic is easily one of the most attractive paperback books in my library. I had read this once before in translation (in the old Rieu version), and then later translated much of it in a second year Greek class. But in neither instance did I enjoy it as much as reading the Fagles's translation.Aristotle did not think that people should study philosophy too early in life, and perhaps that is also true of reading Homer. Part of me feels that we make a mistake in our education systems by making students read THE ODYSSEY before they are in a position to appreciate it. If one looks through the reviews here, a very large number of very negative reviews by a lot of high school students can be found. I find this unfortunate. In part I regret that we are forcing younger readers to read this book before they have fully matured as readers. Perhaps the book and the students themselves would be better served if we allowed them time to grow a bit more as readers before asking them to tackle Homer.THE ODYSSEY is so enormously enjoyable (at least for this adult reader) that it is easy to forget just how very old it is. What impresses me is how readable it is, despite its age. There are very, very few widely read works older than THE ILIAD and THE ODYSSEY. And the gap between how entertaining these works are and those that come before them is gigantic. Try reading THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH or even THE HESIOD and then turning to THE ODYSSEY, and one can grasp my point. This is a very, very old work of literature, but it wears its age lightly. In the end, the greatest praise one can pay THE ODYSSEY is the fact that it can be read for fun, and not just because it is a classic.

Epic achievement By A Customer Since you ask me, you word-hungry Amazonians,How I came solate in life to the end of a taleThat schoolchildren read in comicbooks,A tale that is one of the sturdy legsOf the table on which our culture restsSince you ask, I will tell you, and gladly, too.My journey started, though you grin in disbelief,In ninth-grade Latin class, where "Ulysses"Duped the cyclops by calling himself "Nemo."Then a deep sleep fell over me,And I knew no more Homer, not in Greek or LatinOr English or even the strange tongueOf the network miniseries, while SunDrove his blazing chariot round EarthOne hundred hundred times.In this sleep I wandered the world of letters,Homerless but unable to avoid the homeric:Achilles' heel, the Sirens' song,Calypso, the Trojan Horse, and swinemaking Circe--Crouched like Scylla, aswirl like Charybdis,Threatening cultural death to epic ignorance.At last I found my literary Tiresias,The New York Times Book Review.I shook from this seer the name Fagles,And so guided, I made my way home at last,Through a translation that rings of a heroic time,A time when men were stronger and grander than we,When women were more beautiful,And when, granted, sexual equality wantedA few millennia's labor;But even so, a rendering as modernAs anything DeLillo, new god of the underworld,Or the infinitely jesting WallaceCan lay before us.The best, in fine, of both worlds, an epic worthyOf the blind bard and of his heroes, his heroines,And the deathless denizens of Olympus.

61 of 64 people found the following review helpful. An excellent book. By Frank Bierbrauer As noted on earlier reviews these two, the first "The Iliad", and now "The Odyssey" have become the translations read for pure enjoyment. No longer does one `know' of the classics but never read them, now we read them too. Thankfully, Robert Fagles has produced a translation worthy of the original sense of Homer's great poem. It captures well the suffering and tragedy Odysseus went through in his journey full of trials and tribulations from the great ogre, the Cyclops, to the beautiful Calypso and finally one of his greatest tests, the suitors seeking his wife's approval after 20 years absence from his homeland.As usual the introduction by Bernard Knox (NB my earlier mistake in the review on The Iliad) is highly informative and shows real depth of understanding of Homeric poetry, an invaluable aid in the full comprehension of the poem. In addition the extra maps of the Homeric word as well as a glossary of terms and a section detailing some of the characters in more depth provide an excellent background which may be missing in a non-classical education. Certainly this is the transaltion to use when teaching of classic poetry in schools since the child is captivated by the flow of the story and the fast pace which keeps one glued to the book, although not as pacy as The Iliad it is a different sort of story. Unlike the Iliad which is replete with battles and war, The Odyssey is the story of a journey and is of a different tune. I once tried to read an earlier translation of The Odyssey a few years ago and found it stuffy and staid, this is no longer true of Fagles work, were it only the case of other great classics. I felt throughout that Fagles kept to the aura of the original even when substituting more modern expressions for the older ones eg "holding nothing back" is obviously a modern phrase but it captures what the poem is saying and that is what is important ie capturing the poem as a whole. This has been ably achieved. An excellent book.
