Robert Sewell (1845–1925)[citation needed] worked in the civil service of the Madras Presidency during the period of colonial rule in India.[1] He was Keeper of the Madras Record Office[2] and was tasked with responsibility for documenting ancient inscriptions and remains in the region, As with other British administrators of his type at that period, his purpose was not scholarly but rather to bolster administrative control by constructing a history that placed British rule as a virtue and a necessity rather than something to be denigrated. Portrayal of historic factionalism among local figureheads and dominion by alien despots would, it was thought, enhance the perception that only the British could rescue the country from its past.[1] [mehr]

(15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916) was an American writer who spent most of his writing career in Britain. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. James alternated between America and Europe for the first 20 years of his life; eventually he settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allows him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.

The stories in this book are of revenants: persons who either in spirit or in body revisit old scenes, return upon old selves or old emotions, or relate a message from a world beyond perception. "Which?" was suggested by a passage in Hawthorne's Note-books, where he proposes a story or sketch the scene of which is "to be laid within the light of a street lantern; the time, when the lamp is near going out; and the catastrophe to be simultaneous with the last flickering gleam." "The Lady of the Ship" is very nearly historical. "Prisoners of War" rests on the actual adventures of two St. Ives men, Thomas Williams and John Short, in the years 1804-1814. "Frozen Margit" and "The Seventh Man" have--if not their originals--at least their suggestions in fact. [mehr]

A picture is worth a thousand words. But, words can evoke vivid pictures in the mind. As a painter uses his colors to create images that touch the soul, the poet uses his words to achieve the same effect. The poems in this volume, it is my hope, will create images that touch the readers heart and soul. They are the product of the poet's observations of the world around him. Several of these images reflect his perception of the world as he is out and about, some are the images he perceives when awakening in the morning--that point when dream and reality seem to merge. The poet hopes that these images will provoke thought, and will bring the read some measure of enjoyment. [mehr]

The New Zealand architect Roger Walker has contributed significantly to the development of New Zealand architecture. He believes that building can make people happy and a good building adds to what nature has given humankind. Walker says that “We have a duty to build well. Our perception of cultural meaning and hence part of the pleasure of being is tied up in how we make our places”. It has been said that his creativity could lead him into another direction than architecture but he has devoted much of his time developing his architecture. Walker argued that he loved what he is doing. He has loved building things from the time he built model aeroplanes as a kid. [mehr]
