1.

Candida
The play is set in the northeast suburbs of London in the month of October. It tells the
story of Candida, the wife of a famous clergyman, the Reverend James Mavor Morell.
Morell is a Christian Socialist, popular in the Church of England, but Candida is
responsible for much of his success. Candida returns home briefly from a trip to London
with Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet who wants to rescue her from what he presumes
to be her dull family life.
Marchbanks is in love with Candida and believes she deserves something more than just
complacency from her husband. He considers her divine, and his love eternal. In his
view, it is quite improper and humiliating for Candida to have to attend to petty household
chores. Morell believes Candida needs his care and protection, but the truth is quite the
contrary. Ultimately, Candida must choose between the two gentlemen. She reasserts
her preference for the "weaker of the two" who, after a momentary uncertainty, turns out
to be her husband Morell.

2. The wisdom of life

In these pages I shall speak of _The Wisdom of Life_ in the common meaning of the
term, as the art, namely, of ordering our lives so as to obtain the greatest possible
amount of pleasure and success; an art the theory of which may be called
_Eudaemonology_, for it teaches us how to lead a happy existence. Such an existence
might perhaps be defined as one which, looked at from a purely objective point of view,
or, rather, after cool and mature reflection--for the question necessarily involves
subjective considerations,--would be decidedly preferable to non-existence; implying that
we should cling to it for its own sake, and not merely from the fear of death; and further,
that we should never like it to come to an end.
Now whether human life corresponds, or could possibly correspond, to this conception of
existence, is a question to which, as is well-known, my philosophical system returns a
negative answer. On the eudaemonistic hypothesis, however, the question must be
answered in the affirmative; and I have shown, in the second volume of my chief work
(ch. 49), that this hypothesis is based upon a fundamental mistake. Accordingly, in
elaborating the scheme of a happy existence, I have had to make a complete surrender
of the higher metaphysical and ethical standpoint to which my own theories lead; and
everything I shall say here will to some extent rest upon a compromise; in so far, that is,
as I take the common standpoint of every day, and embrace the error which is at the
bottom of it. My remarks, therefore, will possess only a qualified value, for the very word
_eudaemonology_ is a euphemism. Further, I make no claims to completeness; partly
because the subject is inexhaustible, and partly because I should otherwise have to say
over again what has been already said by others.
The only book composed, as far as I remember, with a like purpose to that which
animates this collection of aphorisms, is Cardan's _De utilitate ex adversis capienda_,
which is well worth reading, and may be used to supplement the present work. Aristotle,
it is true, has a few words on eudaemonology in the fifth chapter of the first book of his
_Rhetoric_; but what he says does not come to very much. As compilation is not my
business, I have made no use of these predecessors; more especially because in the
process of compiling, individuality of view is lost, and individuality of view is the kernel of
works of this kind. In general, indeed, the wise in all ages have always said the same
thing, and the fools, who at all times form the immense majority, have in their way too
acted alike, and done just the opposite; and so it will continue. For, as Voltaire says, _we
shall leave this world as foolish and as wicked as we found it on our arrival_.

3. John bulls other island

 The play deals with Larry Doyle, originally from Ireland, but who has turned his back on
his heritage to fit in with the English and Tom Broadbent, his English (and very
Machiavellian) business partner. They are civil engineers who run a firm in London. They
go to Roscullen, where Doyle was born, to develop some land.
Doyle has no illusions about Ireland while Broadbent is taken with the romance of the
place. Broadbent, a lively man who seemingly is not always aware of the impression he
makes, becomes a favourite of the people. Before the play is over, it is clear he will marry
Nora Reilly, the woman waiting for Doyle (who is more than happy to let her go) and
become the area's candidate for Parliament after Doyle refuses to stand, but has also
'called in' all his loans given "so easily" to the locals against their homes and intends (as
he had planned all along) to make the village into an amusement park.
Another major character is the defrocked priest Peter (Father) Keegan, the political and
temperamental opposite of Broadbent, who sees through him from the beginning and
warns the locals against him.

4. Confessions rousseau
The Confessions was two distinct works, each part consisting of six books. Books I to VI
were written between 1765 and 1767 and published in 1782, while books VII to XII were
written in 17691770 and published in 1789.[citation needed] Rousseau alludes to a planned
third part, but this was never completed. Though the book contains factual
inaccuraciesin particular, Rousseau's dates are frequently off, some events are out of
order, and others are misrepresented, incomplete, or incorrect[1]Rousseau provides an
account of the experiences that shaped his personality and ideas. For instance, some
parts of his own education are clearly present in his account of ideal education, Emile, or
On Education.
Rousseau's work is notable as one of the first major autobiographies. Prior to
the Confessions, the two great autobiographies were Augustine's
own Confessions and Saint Teresa's Life of Herself. However, both of these works
focused on the religious experiences of their authors; the Confessions was one of the
first autobiographies in which an individual wrote of his own life mainly in terms of his
worldly experiences and personal feelings. Rousseau recognized the unique nature of his
work; it opens with the famous words: "I have resolved on an enterprise which has no
precedent and which, once complete, will have no imitator. My purpose is to display to
my kind a portrait in every way true to nature, and the man I shall portray will be myself."
His example was soon followed: not long after publication, many other writers (such
as Goethe, Wordsworth, Stendhal, and De Quincey) wrote their own similarly-styled
autobiographies.
The Confessions is also noted for its detailed account of Rousseau's more humiliating
and shameful moments. For instance, Rousseau recounts an incident when, while a
servant, he covered up his theft of a ribbon by framing a young girlwho was working in
the housefor the crime. In addition, Rousseau explains the manner in which he
disposes of the five children he had with Thrse Levasseur.

5. 1000 yards
Meet John Milton
He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder.

Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed.
Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you
wouldn't want to be on his list. But now, after ten years, he's had enough - there's blood
on his hands and he wants out. Trouble is, this job is not one you can just walk away
from.
 He goes on the run, seeking atonement for his sins by helping the people he meets along
the way. But his past cannot be easily forgotten and before long it is Milton who is
hunted, and not the hunter.

1000 Yards
This 17,000 word novella is an introduction to John Milton, the most dangerous assassin
in the pay of Her Majesty's government.

Milton is sent into North Korea. With nothing but a sniper rifle, bad intentions and a very
particular target, will Milton be able to take on the secret police of the most dangerous
failed state on the planet?

6. Divine comedy
The Divine Comedy is composed of 14,233 lines that are divided into
three canticas (Italian plural cantiche) Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory),
and Paradiso (Paradise) each consisting of 33 cantos (Italian plural canti). An
initial canto, serving as an introduction to the poem and generally considered to be part
of the first cantica, brings the total number of cantos to 100. It is generally accepted,
however, that the first two cantos serve as a unitary prologue to the entire epic, and that
the opening two cantos of each cantica serve as prologues to each of the three
canticas.[9][10][11]
The number "three" is prominent in the work, represented in part by the number of
canticas and their lengths. Additionally, the verse scheme used, terza rima,
is hendecasyllabic (lines of eleven syllables), with the lines composing tercets according
to the rhyme scheme aba, bcb, cdc, ded, ....
Written in the first person, the poem tells of Dante's journey through the three realms of
the dead, lasting from the night before Good Friday to the Wednesday after Easter in the
spring of 1300. The Roman poet Virgil guides him through Hell and Purgatory; Beatrice,
Dante's ideal woman, guides him through Heaven. Beatrice was a Florentine woman
whom he had met in childhood and admired from afar in the mode of the then-
fashionable courtly love tradition, which is highlighted in Dante's earlier work La Vita
Nuova.[citation needed]
The structure of the three realms follows a common numerical pattern of 9 plus 1, for a
total of 10: 9 circles of the Inferno, followed by Lucifer contained at its bottom; 9 rings of
Mount Purgatory, followed by the Garden of Eden crowning its summit; and the 9
celestial bodies of Paradiso, followed by the Empyrean containing the very essence of
God. Within each group of 9, 7 elements correspond to a specific moral scheme,
subdivided into three subcategories, while 2 others of greater particularity are added to
total nine. For example, the seven deadly sins of the Catholic Church that are cleansed in
Purgatory are joined by special realms for the Late repentant and
the excommunicated by the church. The core seven sins within Purgatory correspond to
a moral scheme of love perverted, subdivided into three groups corresponding to
excessive love (Lust, Gluttony, Greed), deficient love (Sloth), and malicious love
(Wrath, Envy, Pride).[citation needed]
In central Italy's political struggle between Guelphs and Ghibellines, Dante was part of
the Guelphs, who in general favored the Papacy over the Holy Roman Emperor.
Florence's Guelphs split into factions around 1300: the White Guelphs and the Black
Guelphs. Dante was among the White Guelphs who were exiled in 1302 by the Lord-
Mayor Cante de' Gabrielli di Gubbio, after troops under Charles of Valois entered the city,
at the request of Pope Boniface VIII, who supported the Black Guelphs. This exile, which
lasted the rest of Dante's life, shows its influence in many parts of the Comedy, from
 prophecies of Dante's exile to Dante's views of politics, to the eternal damnation of some
of his opponents.[citation needed]
The last word in each of the three canticas is stelle ("stars").

7. Tractatus logico
The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (TLP) (Latin for "Logico-Philosophical Treatise")
is the only book-length philosophical work published by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein in his lifetime. The project had a broad aim to identify the relationship
between language and reality and to define the limits of science[1] and is recognized as
a significant philosophical work of the twentieth century. G. E. Moore originally suggested
the work's Latin title as homage to the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus by Baruch
Spinoza.[2]
Wittgenstein wrote the notes for the Tractatus while he was a soldier during World War
I and completed it when a prisoner of war at Como and later Cassino in August 1918.[3] It
was first published in German in 1921 as Logisch-Philosophische Abhandlung.
The Tractatus was influential chiefly amongst the logical positivists of the Vienna Circle,
such as Rudolf Carnap and Friedrich Waismann. Bertrand Russell's article "The
Philosophy of Logical Atomism" is presented as a working out of ideas that he had
learned from Wittgenstein.[4]
The Tractatus employs a notoriously austere and succinct literary style. The work
contains almost no arguments as such, but rather consists of declarative statements, or
passages, that are meant to be self-evident. The statements are hierarchically numbered,
with seven basic propositions at the primary level (numbered 17), with each sub-level
being a comment on or elaboration of the statement at the next higher level (e.g., 1, 1.1,
1.11, 1.12, 1.13). In all, the Tractatus comprises 526 numbered statements, with 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6 and 7 having 7, 79, 74, 109, 151, 105 and 1 associated statement(s), respectively.
Wittgenstein's later works, notably the posthumously published Philosophical
Investigations, criticised many of the ideas in the Tractatus.

8. Jane eyre
The novel is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the title character. The
novel's setting is somewhere in the north of England, late in the reign of George
III (17601820).[a] It goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead
Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her
education at Lowood School, where she gains friends and role models but suffers
privations and oppression; her time as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in
love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family,
during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers, proposes to her;
and her reunion with, and marriage to, her beloved Rochester. During these sections the
novel provides perspectives on a number of important social issues and ideas, many of
which are critical of the status quo (see the Themes section below). Literary critic Jerome
Beaty opines that the close first person perspective leaves the reader "too uncritically
accepting of her worldview", and often leads reading and conversation about the novel
towards supporting Jane, regardless of how irregular her ideas or perspectives are.[5]
Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters, and most editions are at least 400 pages long. The
original publication was in three volumes, comprising chapters 1 to 15, 16 to 27, and 28
to 38; this was a common publishing format during the 19th century (see three-volume
novel).
Bront dedicated the novel's second edition to William Makepeace Thackeray.
Jane Eyre: The novel's protagonist, second wife of Edward Rochester, and title
character. Orphaned as a baby, she struggles through her nearly loveless childhood and
becomes governess at Thornfield Hall. Jane is passionate and strongly principled, and
values freedom and independence. She also has a strong conscience and is a
determined Christian.

Mr. Reed: Jane's maternal uncle, who adopts Jane when her parents die. According to
Mrs. Reed, he pitied Jane and often cared for her more than for his own children. Before
his own death, he makes his wife promise to care for Jane.

Mrs. Reed: Jane's aunt by marriage, who adopts Jane on her husband's wishes, but
abuses and neglects her. She eventually casts her off and sends her to Lowood School.

John Reed: Jane's cousin who bullies her incessantly, sometimes in his mother's
presence. John ruins himself as an adult by drinking and gambling, and is thought to
have committed suicide.

Eliza Reed: Jane's cousin. Jealous of her more attractive sister and a slave to rigid
routine, she self-righteously devotes herself to religion. She leaves for a nunnery near
Lisle after her mother's death, determined to estrange herself from her sister.

Georgiana Reed: Jane's cousin. Although beautiful and indulged, she is insolent and
spiteful. Her sister Eliza foils Georgiana's marriage to the wealthy Lord Edwin Vere, when
the couple is about to elope. Georgiana eventually marries a, "wealthy worn-out man of
fashion."

Bessie Lee: The nursemaid at Gateshead. She often treats Jane kindly, telling her
stories and singing her songs, but she has a quick temper. Later, she marries Robert
Leaven.

Robert Leaven: The coachman at Gateshead, who brings Jane the news of John Reed's
death, which has brought on Mrs. Reed's stroke, and Mrs. Reed's wish to see Jane
before Mrs. Reed died.

Mr. Lloyd: A compassionate apothecary who recommends that Jane be sent to school.
Later, he writes a letter to Miss Temple confirming Jane's account of her childhood and
thereby clears Jane of Mrs. Reed's charge of lying.

Mr. Brocklehurst: The clergyman, director, and treasurer of Lowood School, whose
maltreatment of the students is eventually exposed. A religious traditionalist, he
advocates for his charges the most harsh, plain, and disciplined possible lifestyle, but
not, hypocritically, for himself and his own family. His second daughter Augusta
exclaimed, "Oh, dear papa, how quiet and plain all the girls at Lowood look... they looked
at my dress and mama's, as if they had never seen a silk gown before."

Miss Maria Temple: The kind superintendent of Lowood School, who treats the students
with respect and compassion. She helps clear Jane of Mr. Brocklehurst's false
accusation of deceit and cares for Helen in her last days. Eventually, she marries
Reverend Naysmith.

Miss Scatcherd: A sour and strict teacher at Lowood. She constantly punishes Helen
Burns for her untidiness but fails to see Helen's su
9. The modern utopia
To this planet "out beyond Sirius"[12] the Owner of the Voice and the botanist are
translated, imaginatively, "in the twinkling of an eye . . . We should scarcely note the
change. Not a cloud would have gone from the sky."[13] Their point of entry is on the
slopes of the Piz Lucendro in the Swiss Alps.
The adventures of these two characters are traced through eleven chapters. Little by little
they discover how Utopia is organized. It is a world with "no positive compulsions at all . .
. for the adult Utopianunless they fall upon him as penalties incurred."[14]
The Owner of the Voice and the botanist are soon required to account for their presence.
When their thumbprints are checked against records in "the central index housed in a
vast series of buildings at or near Paris,"[15] both discover they have doubles in Utopia.
They journey to London to meet them, and the Owner of the Voice's double is a member
of the Samurai, a voluntary order of nobility that rules Utopia. "These samurai form the
real body of the State."[16]
Running through the novel as a foil to the main narrative is the botanist's obsession with
an unhappy love affair back on Earth. The Owner of the Voice is annoyed at this
undignified and unworthy insertion of earthly affairs in Utopia, but when the botanist
meets the double of his beloved in Utopia the violence of his reaction bursts the
imaginative bubble that has sustained the narrative and the two men find themselves
back in early-twentieth-century London.[17]
