Федор Достоевский
Memoirs from the House of the Dead

2008 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: In this almost documentary account of his own experience of penal servitude in Siberia, Dostoevsky describes the physical and mental suffering of the convicts, the squalor and the degradation, in relentless detail. The intricate procedure whereby the men strip for the bath without removing their ten-pound leg-fetters is an extraordinary tour de force, compared by Turgenev to passages from Dante`s Inferno. Terror and resignation - the rampages of a psychopath, the brief serene interlude of Christmas Day - are evoked by Dostoevsky, writing several years after his release, with a strikingly uncharacteristic detachment. For this reason, House of the Dead is certainly the least Dostoevskian of his works, yet, paradoxically, it ranks among his greatest masterpieces. Формат: 130 мм x 195 мм. [detailed...]

Floyd H. Nuttall
Memoirs in a Country Churchyard: A Tobaccoman`s Plea : Clean Up Tobacco Row!

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the story of the life, love, and heartaches of a tobaccoman. It also chronicles the changes in the cigarette manufacturing process from the mid-thirties to the mid-seventies. An expert in blending and flavoring tobacco, Mr. Nuttall reveals some of the actual causes behind the controversy now surrounding the issue of tobacco-the South`s greatest industry. The author does not intend this to be a cold-blooded indictment of any particular manufacturer of cigarettes, nor does he expect his words to substantially injure the tobacco industry. Actually, he takes a gentle approach in offering suggestions and advice. His desire is to promote a safer cigarette and one which is not as offensive to non-smokers. Mr. Nuttall advocates an immediate reversal of the practice in cigarette manufacturing of adding reconstituted tobacco to the blends as a substitute for high-grade leaf. The author believes this to be imperative, and possible. [detailed...]

Edmund Wilson
Memoirs of Hecate County (New York Review Books Classics)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA neglected classic of American fiction, Memoirs of Hecate County has been overlooked perhaps because of Edmund Wilson`s too-commanding reputation as a critic, but also no doubt because its remarkably graphic and unsentimental depictions of sex attracted the attentions of the censor and provoked a scandal. Hecate County is the bewitched center of the American libido, a sleepy bedroom community just beyond the city walls where drinks flow endlessly and fantasies of sexual fulfillment take form and or fade away in an atmosphere of persistent unreality. But at the heart of the book is a New York story, `The Princess with the Golden Hair,` Wilson`s riveting, comic, and ultimately very moving account of a man caught up in concurrent love affairs. Written in a fine, clear style that is not in the least dated, Memoirs of Hecate County is, along with the best novels of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, among the finest accomplishments of 20th-century American fiction.

Maurice V. Wilkes
Memoirs of a Computer Pioneer (History of Computing)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Maurice Wilkes was one of the leading scientific explorers in the development of the modern digital computer. He directed the Mathematical Laboratory (later named the Computer Laboratory) at Cambridge University, where he and his team built the EDSAC, the first stored program digital computer to go into service. Wilkes describes in nontechnical detail the growth of EDSAC and its successor, EDSAC 2, his introduction of microprogramming, and the first experiments with time-sharing systems. In the 1950s, when machines were still getting larger rather than smaller, Wilkes was one of the few who foresaw a time when nonspecialists would be using computers almost universally, and he reviews his anticipatory efforts to develop simple programming systems. But his book is more than a history of computing, it also recounts the allied scientific effort when he was one of those scientists and engineers (`boffins` as they were called by the RAF) who were in the thick of it, his… [detailed...]

Alexander Graydon
Memoirs of a Life, Chiefly Passed in Pennsylvania Within the Last Sixty Years

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Depicting his life from his childhood in Pennsylvania to his time as a public official, including his experiences recruiting and training his own troops for the Revolutionary War, Graydon`s memoirs provide a unique and personal view of the American Colonial period. First published in 1811, his memoirs were not initially popular, probably because of their inflammatory remarks about public figures ranging from Albert Gallatin to Thomas Jefferson and his followers. Memoirs of a Life Chiefly Passed in Pennsylvania shows Graydon`s disdain for those he saw as seduced by power and money and leaves the reader with a critical view of some of the most popular figures of his time.

Richardson tells the fascinating story of his work, starting in 1945, as a journalist and filmmaker in New Zealand, Australia, India, Britain, and Canada. From the first, he found himself out of synch with the commercial ethos of the mainstream media, yet, as his career propelled him across the world, he became sympathetic to the pressures and changes within his field -- though still devoted to higher goals. He once said: ?Although I have worked in the media most of my life, in a wide variety of functions, my distaste for it has grown with every year, until today I have no hesitation in describing it as appalling.? A prolific author and film director, Richardson`s work has focused on Aboriginal peoples, the environment, and human rights. [detailed...]

Description: Misty memories of a boy born to a poor sharecroper in the worst economic depression the world has ever known come to life with dramatic clarity in this troublihng memoir. Trapped into surviving on the pittance realized by his family for growing the deadly health killing tobacco plant, Jeff struggles to understand the societal contradictions that control his existence throughout the twentieth century. Imagination and dreamy fantasies fertilize larger hopes for him as he plows his father`s lonely fields and wrestles with the arbitrary behavioral imnperatives that control his life. Cruelly deprived of broad cultural stimulation, Jeff struggles to realize dreams fostered by Hollywood myths and pulp fiction. Plentiful food--a gift of the land--adequate housing and most of all, a pervassive love and caring concern by others sharing this coimmunity of poverty and hard work, not only are sustaining but give him sweet lasting memories of those hard times. Anger at deprivations… [detailed...]
