    Set in early 19th century Bengal, their old rivalry now manifests itself as a historical clash between a landed aristocracy declining under the Permanent Settlement system introduced by the British, and the newly rising comprador bourgeosie patronized by these very colonial masters. Yogayog (1929) is remarkable for its astonishingly strong feminist sentiments, marked by Tagore's insight into the emotions and aspirations of women caged in domesticity and strapped by conventional morality.

    Dostoevsky's crocodile, cruelly displayed in a traveling sideshow, gobbles whole a pretentious high-ranking civil servant. But the functionary survives unscathed and seizes his new unique platform to expound to the fascinated public. Dostoevsky's Crocodile is a matchless, hilarious satire.Hernandez's Crocodile, on the other hand, while also terribly funny, is a heartbreaker. A pianist struggling to make ends meet as a salesman finds success when he begins to weep before clients and audience alike, but then he can't stop the crocodile tears.

The Judge asks him to recant but Nolan doesn't. So the Judge granted his request and the rest of his life Nolan spent on Navy ships around the world. The officers and crew were not allowed to mention the United States.This story came out during the height of the Civil War and served to help the Union recruit soldiers and people to their cause. It is noteworthy that Edward Everett Hale's Uncle, Edward Everett, than man he was named after, gave the two hour featured address at Gettysburg just before Lincoln's speech of 209 words and two minutes, that became the best acknowledged speech in American life. Everett, like Hale, was a total patriot and honest man, and immediately congratulated Lincoln on his fine accomplishment, "You have done far better in your two minutes than I did in my 2 hours.""The Man without a Country" is still considered a major American work and read widely in American schools.. A quiet calm read letting the story speak for itself.
