I Will Ask--It Is A Rhetorical Question Which Needs No Answer--What Is A Hapless Bachelor To Do, Who Is Professionally Occupied and Tied down In a Certain Place For Just Half The Year? What Is He To Do With The Other Half? I Cannot Live On In my College Rooms, And I Am Not Compelled to Do So For Economy.

The Last Blue Headland Of Sardinia Was Fading Fast On The North-West Horizon, And A Steady Breeze Bore Before It Innumerable Ships, The Wrecks Of Heraclian's Armament, Plunging And Tossing Impatiently In Their Desperate Homeward Race Toward The Coast Of Africa. Far And Wide, Under A Sky Of Cloudless Blue, The White Sails Glittered On The Glittering Sea, As Gaily Now, Above Their Loads Of Shame And Disappointment Terror And Pain, As When, But One Short Month Before, They Bore With Them Only Wild Hopes And Gallant Daring. Who Can Calculate The Sum Of Misery In That Hapless Flight?.... And Yet It Was But One, And That One Of The Least Known And Most Trivial, Of The Tragedies Of That Age Of Woe; One Petty Death-Spasm Among The Unnumbered Throes Which Were Shaking To Dissolution The Babylon Of The West.

The Weight Of The Tempest Had Been Felt At That Hapless Moment When Earing And His Unfortunate Companions Were Precipitated From Their Giddy Elevation Into The Sea. Though The Wind Continued To Blow Long After This Fatal Event, It Was With A Constantly Diminishing Power. As The Gale Decreased The Sea Began To Rise, And The Vessel To Labour In Proportion. Then Followed Two Hours Of Anxious Watchfulness On The Part Of Wilder, During Which The Whole Of His Professional Knowledge Was Needed In Order To Keep The Despoiled Hull Of The Bristol Trader From Becoming A Prey To The Greedy Waters. His Consummate Skill, However, Proved Equal To The Task That Was Required At His Hands; And, Just As The Symptoms Of Day Were Becoming Visible Along The East, Both Wind And Waves Were Rapidly Subsiding Together. During The Whole Of This Doubtful Period Our Adventurer Did Not Receive The Smallest Assistance From Any Of The Crew, With The Exception Of Two Experienced Seamen Whom He Had Previously Stationed At The Wheel. But To This Neglect He Was Indifferent; Since Little More Was Required Than His Own Judgment, Seconded, As It Faithfully Was, By The Exertions Of The Manners More Immediately Under His Eye. [mehr]

"Shadows in the Moonlight" (Howard's original title was "Iron Shadows in the Moon") is a Conan novellette. It begins when a female lovely named Olivia, having fled captivity from the city of Akif, is chased down and cornered in a marsh, on the edge of the Vilayet Sea. Her pursuer and former master is a sadistic rogue named Shah Amurath. But before he can lay loathsome hands on the hapless heroine, a figure rises from the reeds. The newcomer has seen all his friends betrayed and treacherously cut down to a man, before escaping into the marshes where he has hidden out for so long he is nearly mad. The newcomer quickly dispatches Shah Amurath, then he and Olivia hop in a boat and decide to lie low for the next little while. Only then does the newcomer identify himself: Conan the Cimmerian. The two fugitives, Conan and Olivia, find their way to a dark and apparently deserted island, where they spend the night sleeping in ancient ruins decorated with remarkably lifelike statues. Olivia has a dream in which she sees a band of men turned into those statues and wakes convinced they will come to life in the moonlight. Conan is less than convinced of Olivia's fears and is more concerned by whatever it is lurking in the jungle, lobbing giant boulders at the two fugitives. A pirate ship makes port on the island, and leaving Olivia hidden in the brush, Conan challenges their captain; an old rival. He slays the pirate captain, but is knocked unconscious by a stone from a sling. The pirates bind him and take him with them to the ruins where they discuss his fate, until they pass out drunk. Olivia meanwhile, narrowly escapes from a massive and dark figure that pursues her up to the ruins. Olivia sneaks past the drunken and sleeping pirates and frees Conan. Conan then slays the dark figure that pursued Olivia, a giant man-ape, which had also been hurling the boulders at them. As Conan recovers from his battle with the man-ape, they hear the beginning of a horrific slaughter back at the ruins. They quickly head back to the deserted pirate ship. As Conan prepares the ship to sail, a band of beaten and bedraggled pirates comes and asks to come aboard and leave the 'devil island'. Conan challenges them and they accept him as their captain. At the end Olivia begs Conan to allow her to stay with him and laughing, accepts, saying he'd make her 'Queen of the Blue Sea'. [mehr]

The attractions Roopa experienced and the fantasies she entertained as a teen shaped a male imagery that ensconced her subconscious. Insensibly, confident carriage came to be associated with the image of maleness in her mind-set. Her acute consciousness of masculinity only increased her vulnerability to it, making her womanliness crave for the maleness for its gratification. However, as her father was constrained to help her in becoming a doctor, she opts to marry, hoping that Sathyam might serve her cause though the persona she envisioned as masculine, she found lacking in him. But as he fails to go with her idea, she becomes apathetic towards him, and insensibly sinks into her friend Sandhya’s embrace, for lesbian solace. Soon, in a dramatic sequence of events, Tara, a suave call girl, tries to rope Roopa into her calling; Roopa herself loses her heart to Sandhya's beau Raja Rao, and Prasad, her husband’s friend falls for her. And as Prasad begins to induce Sathyam to be seduced by whores to worm his way into her affections, Roopa finds herself in a dilemma. However, as fate puts Raja Rao into Roopa’s arms in such a way as to lend novelty to fiction, this ‘novel’ nuances man-woman chemistry on one hand, and portrays woman-woman empathy on the other. Who said the novel is dead; 'Benign Flame' raises the bar as vouched by - The plot is quite effective and it’s a refreshing surprise to discover that the story will not trace a fall into disaster for Roopa, given that many writers might have habitually followed that course with a wife who strays into extramarital affairs - Spencer Critchley, Literary Critic, U.S.A. The author has convinced the readers that love is something far beyond the marriage tie and the fulfillment love can be attained without marriage bondage. The author has achieved a minor revolution without any paraphernalia of revolution in the fourth part of the novel – The Quest, India. The author makes free use of – not interior monologue as such, but – interior dialogue of the character with the self, almost resembling the dramatic monologue of Browning. Roopa, Sandhya, Raja Rao and Prasad to a considerable extent and Tara and Sathyam to a limited degree indulge in rationalization, trying to analyse their drives and impulses – The Journal of Indian Writing in English. Overall, Benign Flame is a unique attempt at exploring adult relationships and sexuality in the contemporary middle-class. All the characters come alive with their cravings and failings, their love and their lust. Benign Flame blurs the lines and emphasizes that life is not all black and white - it encompasses the full spectrum of living - Indian Book Chronicle.
