What Maisie Knew is a novel by Henry James. The story of the sensitive daughter of divorced, irresponsible parents, What Maisie Knew has great contemporary relevance as an unflinching account of a wildly dysfunctional family. The book is also a masterly technical achievement by James, as it follows the title character from earliest childhood to precocious maturity. When Beale and Ida Farange are divorced, the court decrees that their only child, the very young Maisie, will shuttle back and forth between them, spending six months of the year with each. The parents are immoral and frivolous, and they use Maisie to intensify their hatred of each other. Beale Farange marries Miss Overmore, Maisie's pretty governess, while Ida marries the likeable but weak Sir Claude. Maisie gets a new governess: the frumpy, somewhat-ridiculous but devoted Mrs. Wix. Both Ida and Beale soon cheat on their spouses; in turn, Claude and the new Mrs. Farange begin an affair with each other. Maisie's parents essentially abandon her and she becomes largely the responsibility of Sir Claude. Eventually, Maisie must decide if she wants to remain with Sir Claude and Mrs. Farange. In the book's long final section set in France, the older (probably teenaged) Maisie struggles to choose between them and Mrs Wix, and concludes that her new parents' relationship will likely end as her biological parents' did. She leaves them and goes to stay with Mrs. Wix, her most reliable adult guardian. [mehr]

I Have Formerly Mentioned The Revolt Of De Oli. Cortes Was Much Distressed On Receiving This Intelligence, And Immediately Sent Off His Relation, Francisco De Las Casas, With Five Ships And A Hundred Well Appointed Soldiers, Among Whom Were Some Of The Veteran Conquerors Of Mexico, With Orders To Reduce De Oli. Las Casas Soon Arrived At The Bay Of Triumpho De La Cruz, Where De Oli Had Established His Head-Quarters; And Though Las Casas Hoisted A Signal Of Peace, De Oli Determined On Resistance, And Sent A Number Of Soldiers In Two Armed Vessels To Oppose Las Casas, Who Ordered Out His Boats Armed With Swivels And Musquetry To Attack Those Belonging To De Oli. In This Affair Las Casas Was Successful, As He Sunk One Of The Vessels Belonging To De Oli, Killed Four Of His Soldiers, And Wounded A Great Number. On This Misfortune, And Because A Considerable Number Of His Soldiers Were On A Detached Service In The Inland Country, For The Purpose Of Reducing A Party Of Spaniards Under Gil Gonzalez De Avila, Who Was Employed In Making Conquests On The River Pechin, De Oli Thought It Advisable To Propose Terms Of Peace To Las Casas, In Hopes That His Detachment Might Return To His Assistance. Las Casas Unfortunately Agreed To Treat, And Remained At Sea; Partly For The Purpose Of Finding Some Better Place Of Disembarkation, And Partly Induced By Letters From The Friends Of Cortes Who Were Along With De Oli. That Same Night A Heavy Storm Arose, By Which The Vessels Of Las Casas Were Driven On Shore And Utterly Lost, And Above Thirty Of The Soldiers Perished. All The Rest Were Made Prisoners Two Days Afterwards, Having Been All That Time On Shore Without Food, And Almost Perished With Cold, As It Was The Season Of Almost Incessant Rain. De Oli Obliged All His Prisoners To Swear Fidelity To Him Against Cortes, And Then Released Them All Except Las Casas. [mehr]

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jamiu Akolade Adeyemi is a poet, essayist, playwright, novelist, lawyer and activist, whose works generally criticize the vagaries of the brooding vices in our modern world. Born in Erin-Ile, in the Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State-Nigeria, he had toured the different regions of the country which had given him the foresight for the normalization of the growing ills of the universe. He had published Letter to Tyranny (A selection of Poems), Destiny out of Diligence (A Novel) and The Child of Nobody is his third published book. His belief looms upon the bitter reality that what is worth living for is worth dying for. He has by his way set down a moving gear towards the creation of a better world that applauds, adores and cherishes the rights of humanity in order to accomplish an atmosphere that frowns at all styles of anomie, tyranny, chaos and indecencies within the orbit of our tumultuous modern world. ABOUT THE BOOK A didactic play that frowns at adolescent love affair and promiscuous lifestyles, set in Nigeria, the Child of Nobody recounts the life of two young characters who pretend to fall in love with each other: Meimunat, the eldest daughter of a litigious lawyer and Babatunde, the only son of a gregarious school principal. Their relationship however collapses into a double jeopardy, when both characters dance beyond the stage and become fornicators. Then the two families become fiercely combative. With The Child of Nobody, Jamiu Akolade Adeyemi expresses himself as a most talented playwright. More than just a play, the book condemns major acts of indecency, anomie and mischief queuing up on the sides of stakeholders and government, both parents and children. [mehr]
