The Story of Don John of Austria (Classic Reprint) by Luis Coloma Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Don John of AustriaAs on the walls of some tapestried chamber the author displays the Story of Don John of Austria from his engaging childhood to his saintly death. The light as it shines on this Prince Charming, also falls on thosegreat ones of his time who were his friends or foes, and on the multitude of their servants and followers, lingering most lovingly on beautiful Doha Magdalena de Ulloa, as it glints on the golden texture of her unselfish life. In the woof of the background the author has woven many homely touches, which seem to make the figures live again, and, shaking off the dust of more than three centuries, to leave the arras as in some Pavilion d'armide.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reading an autobiography can offer a unique insight into a world and experience very different from your own — and these real-life stories are even more entertaining, and stranger, than fiction.

Carnage and Culture by Victor Davis Hanson Pdf

Examining nine landmark battles from ancient to modern times--from Salamis, where outnumbered Greeks devastated the slave army of Xerxes, to Cortes’s conquest of Mexico to the Tet offensive--Victor Davis Hanson explains why the armies of the West have been the most lethal and effective of any fighting forces in the world. Looking beyond popular explanations such as geography or superior technology, Hanson argues that it is in fact Western culture and values–the tradition of dissent, the value placed on inventiveness and adaptation, the concept of citizenship–which have consistently produced superior arms and soldiers. Offering riveting battle narratives and a balanced perspective that avoids simple triumphalism, Carnage and Culture demonstrates how armies cannot be separated from the cultures that produce them and explains why an army produced by a free culture will always have the advantage.

The Cloister Life of the Emperor Charles V (Classic Reprint) by Stirling Maxwell Pdf

Excerpt from The Cloister Life of the Emperor Charles V The first, and perhaps the best, printed account of the cloister-life of Charles the Fifth, is to be found in Joseph de Siguenca's History of the Order of St. Jerome. The author was born, about 1545, of noble parents, in the Aragonese city from whence, according to the Jeromite custom, he afterwards took his name. He became a monk about the age of twenty-one, at El Parral, near Segoda, and having studied at the royal college of the Escorial, he obtained great fame as a preacher in and around Segovia, and was made prior of his convent. Removing to the Escorial, he devoted himself to literary labour in the library which was then being collected and arranged by the learned Arias Montano. His reputation for knowledge soon stood so high, that Philip the Second used to say of him, that he was the greatest wonder of the new convent, which was called the eighth wonder of the world. The first of his literary works, a series of discourses on Ecclesiastes, was denounced as heretical before the bar of the inquisition at Toledo; but he defended it so well, that he received honourable acquittal, and returned to the Escorial with an unblemished character for orthodoxy, to write the history of St. Jerome and his Order. The first volume, containing the life of the saint, was published in 1595, in quarto, at Madrid; the second and third, in folio, in 1600 and 1605. The author died in 1606, of apoplexy, at the Escorial, having been twice elected prior of the house. One of the most able and learned of ecclesiastical historians, Siguena, for the elegance and simple eloquence of his style, has been ranked among the classical writers of Castille.

DON QUIXOTE (Illustrated & Annotated Edition) by Miguel de Cervantes Pdf

The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ( 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616) was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. His magnum opus, Don Quixote, considered to be the first modern European novel, is a classic of Western literature, and is regarded amongst the best works of fiction ever written. John Ormsby (1829–1895) was a nineteenth-century British translator. Ormsby's translation has seen more editions than any other nineteenth-century English version of the novel, having been included in the Heritage Book Club series of great novels, and in the famous Great Books of the Western World set.

History of the United Netherlands, 1594 by John Lothrop Motley Pdf

This work is a part of several volumes on the history of the United Netherlands presenting a precise outline of the Eighty Years' War and formation of the modern Netherlands after the foreign political conspiracy. History of the United Netherlands, 1594 is a well-researched work by American author, diplomat, and well-known historian, John Lothrop Motley. He believed it was necessary to unfold, as minutely as possible, the secret details of conspiracy of king and priest against the public, and to show how it was perplexed at last by the strong self-helping forces of two free nations combined. Mortley is best known for his works on the Netherlands like the three-volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic, and the four-volume History of the United Netherlands. It was mainly the period of the United Provinces in 1846 when Motley had begun to plan a history of the Netherlands. This work was prepared on a huge scale and embodied the results of a more considerable amount of original research. Motley planned to carry his history down to 1648, but unfortunately, he died before finishing this work. By then, he had published, in four volumes, The History of the United Netherlands, 1584–1609 (1860–67).

Quixano reads so many romances that he begins to believe that he is a knight, fated to restore chivalry and justice to the world. Quixano changes his name to Don Quixote de la Mancha and recruits Sancho Panza, a simple farmer grounded in reality, as his squire. The two set out to live the knightly story he has so often imagined. Don Quixote is a foundational work for the western canon, with direct references in classic works such as Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and many more famous novels.
