| savage streets torrent: The Waste Land Tim Hodkinson, 2021-08-05 The second in an action-packed medieval adventure series featuring Irish Knight Templar, Richard Savage. When Savage's nemesis abducts his daughter, the knight must return to a homeland devastated by war where a wrong move means certain death. 1316 AD. Ireland has been drawn into the bitter war between Scotland and England. Richard Savage thought he had left the war behind, but arch enemy Edward Bruce won't let him just walk away. Bruce wants the return of what Savage stole from him, and to force his foe's return, Bruce takes what is most dear to Savage: his daughter Galiene. To rescue her, Savage must voyage back to an Ireland devastated by war and decimated by famine, where Scottish invaders ravage the countryside. Soon, Savage's personal mission becomes entangled with the battles tearing Ireland apart, and he finds himself on a final, desperate raid. This is his only chance to save his daughter and turn the tide of war in Ireland's favour – and he's not going to waste it...

| savage streets torrent: K2, The Savage Mountain Charles Houston, Robert Bates, 2020-10-01 When eleven climbers died on K2 on August 1, 2008, it was a stark reminder that the world's second-highest mountain has, for more than a century, been regarded as the most difficult and dangerous of all—for every four people who reach the top, one dies in the attempt. K2, The Savage Mountain tells the dramatic story of the 1953 American expedition, led by Charles S. Houston, when a combination of terrible storms and illness stopped the team short of the 28,251-foot summit. Then on the descent, tragedy struck, and how the climbers made it back to safety is renowned in the annals of climbing. K2, The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one of the classics of mountaineering literature. |

| savage streets torrent: Waterloo Paul O'Keeffe, 2017-01-24 The consequences of Napoleon’s most famous defeat are explored in this “highly readable, richly anecdotal retelling of the battle’s devastating results” (Kirkus). In the early morning hours of June 19, 1815, more than 50,000 men and 7,000 horses lay dead and wounded on a battlefield just south of Brussels. In the hours, days, weeks, and months that followed, news of the battle would begin to shape the consciousness of an age; the battlegrounds would be looted and cleared, its dead buried or burned, its ground and ruins overrun by tourists; the victorious British and Prussian armies would invade France and occupy Paris. And for Napoleon, there was no avenue ahead but surrender, exile and captivity. In this dramatic account of the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, Paul O'Keeffe employs a multiplicity of contemporary sources and viewpoints to create a reading experience that brings into focus as never before the sights, sounds, and smells of the battlefield, of conquest and defeat, of celebration and riot. |

| savage streets torrent: War Before Civilization Lawrence H. Keeley, 1997-12-18 The myth of the peace-loving noble savage is persistent and pernicious. Indeed, for the last fifty years, most popular and scholarly works have agreed that prehistoric warfare was rare, harmless, unimportant, and, like smallpox, a disease of civilized societies alone. Prehistoric warfare, according to this view, was little more than a ritualized game, where casualties were limited and the effects of aggression relatively mild. Lawrence Keeley's groundbreaking War Before Civilization offers a devastating rebuttal to such comfortable myths and debunks the notion that warfare was introduced to primitive societies through contact with civilization (an idea he denounces as the pacification of the past). Building on much fascinating archeological and historical research and offering an astute comparison of warfare in civilized and prehistoric societies, from modern European states to the Plains Indians of North America, War Before Civilization convincingly demonstrates that prehistoric warfare was in fact more deadly, more frequent, and more ruthless than modern war. To support this point, Keeley provides a wide-ranging look at warfare and brutality in the prehistoric world. He reveals, for instance, that prehistorical tactics favoring raids and ambushes, as opposed to formal battles, often yielded a high death-rate; that adult males falling into the hands of their enemies were almost universally killed; and that surprise raids seldom spared even women and children. Keeley cites evidence of ancient massacres in many areas of the world, including the discovery in South Dakota of a prehistoric mass grave containing the remains of over 500 scalped and mutilated men, women, and children (a slaughter that took place a century and a half before the arrival of Columbus). In addition, Keeley surveys the prevalence of looting, destruction, and trophy-taking in all kinds of warfare and again finds little moral distinction between ancient warriors and civilized armies. Finally, and perhaps most controversially, he examines the evidence of cannibalism among some preliterate peoples. Keeley is a seasoned writer and his book is packed with vivid, eye-opening details (for instance, that the homicide rate of prehistoric Illinois villagers may have exceeded that of the modern United States by some 70 times). But he also goes beyond grisly facts to address the larger moral and philosophical issues raised by his work. What are the causes of war? Are human beings inherently violent? How can we ensure peace in our own time? Challenging some of our most dearly held beliefs, Keeley's conclusions are bound to stir controversy. |

| savage streets torrent: First Impressions of the New World Isabella Strange Trotter, 2019-12-19 In First Impressions of the New World, Isabella Strange Trotter presents a vivid and introspective account of her travels through early 19th-century America. Written in a highly evocative literary style that blends rich descriptions with poignant reflections, Trotter'Äôs narrative immerses the reader in the landscapes and cultures of a burgeoning nation. Contextually, the book serves as a critical commentary on the complexities of identity and the clash of traditions as the New World encounters European influences. Trotter'Äôs keen observations of societal norms and natural beauty are complemented by her unique voice, positioning her work within the broader tradition of travel literature that seeks to bridge the gap between the unfamiliar and the familiar. Isabella Strange Trotter, an astute observer and eloquent writer, was influenced by her upbringing in a family of explorers and writers, which nurtured her spirit of inquiry and wanderlust. Her experiences and perspectives as a woman traveling alone in an era dominated by male authors speak to her courage and determination, providing an essential lens through which to explore the emerging American identity. Trotter'Äôs background and personal explorations significantly shaped her narrative, allowing her to capture both the physical and emotional landscapes of the time. This remarkable memoir is highly recommended for readers interested in travel literature, women's studies, and American history. Trotter'Äôs insightful observations and lyrical prose not only invite readers on a journey through the New World but also challenge them to reflect on themes of cultural exchange and personal discovery. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of the interplay between environment and identity in a transformative era. |

| savage streets torrent: Grub Street (Routledge Revivals) Pat Rogers, 2014-05-01 First published in 1972, this is the first detailed study of the milieu of the eighteenth-century literary hack and its significance in Augustan literature. Although the modern term ‘Grub Street’ has declined into vague metaphor, for the Augustan satirists it embodied not only an actual place but an emphatic lifestyle. Pat Rogers shows that the major satirists – Pope, Swift and Fielding – built a potent fiction surrounding the real circumstances in which the scribblers lived, and the importance of this aspect of their writing. The author first locates the original Grub Street, in what is now the Barbican, and then presents a detailed topographical tour of the surrounding area. With studies of a number of key authors, as well as the modern and metaphorical development of the term ‘Grub Street’, this book offers comprehensive insight into the nature of Augustan literature and the social conditions and concerns that inspired it. |
