Main Characters
COL. WILLIAM LUDLOW - Idealistic, formalistic, rational, stong willed, so
principled that he left his job because of unethical behavor in the army, it's
almost obsessive to him that Indians get treated properly; wrote a book to the
government objecting to their policy.
TRISTAN LUDLOW - Adventurer and smuggler who loves his freedom so much
that he lives like an indian, his long hairs and horse riding symbolize his
independence, too self-confident, takes risks, when Sammuel is killed he tries
to escape his feelings of guilt by sailing the sea's
ALFRED LUDLOW - Macho; power hungry, the indian says he was older and
looked even more older than the other ones, humiliates his other brothers in
public(bully).
Main Characters
SAMUEL LUDLOW - He's the kamikaze son; self sacrificially loyal, naive need
to prove his courage, easily confused by abstract things, he lacks of self worth
which he tries to mask with hothead impulsive actions, I bet many soccer
hooligans have this personality .
SUSANNAH - Dreamy, emphatic, modest, fragile, understanding of Tristan's
problems, her beauty enhances the battle for her love amongst the three
brothers.
ONE STAB - The natural, this old Indian merges with the colonel's family
needs, status quo lover; doesn't want to speak English, sometimes a story teller
of this epic story. He took care of the young fragile baby Tristan.
Overview
The bond between three disparate brothers provides the focus for this epic
drama. Colonel William Ludlow retires to a remote part of Montana with One
Stab, a Native American friend, where they build a ranch. Soon after he bought
the ranch his wife Isabel, who couldn't deal with the rugged pioneer life, left him
with three boys. The brothers Alfred, Tristan and Samuel were raised by their
father and the Indian guide One Stab and his wife Pet. Alfred and Tristan are
running the ranch and Samuel has just returned from an eastern college with
Susannah, his beautiful fiancee. World War I has just broken out; kamikaze
Samuel disregards his fathers wishes and wants to prove his courage an loyalty
to England: he enlists to army. The two other brothers join too, to protect Sam.
But they fail and Samuel dies at German gunfire. Upon returning to the
Montana, Tristan and Susannah fall in love.
Overview
A jealous Alfred confronts Tristan and later leaves to make his name in Helena.
Tristan's relationship with Susannah is doomed by his guilt and pain for failing
to protect Samuel, as well as feeling responsible for driving Alfred away and this
forces him to go travelling for years.
At the ranch, Susannah waits for him but eventually receives a letter: "All we
had is dead. As I am dead. Marry another." Susannah is devastated and fells in
love with Alfred who returned home. Colonel Ludlow finds them together,
leading to an argument and falling out between the Colonel and Alfred. Colonel
Ludlow later suffers a stroke. He does not speak for years and the ranch is
going down. In time Susannah agrees to marry Alfred, now a congressman.
Alfred's business and politics cause him to get involved with the O'Banion
brothers, bootleggers and gangsters.
Overview
Tristan returns, bringing life back to the ranch and his father. He accepts
Susannah's marriage and later falls in love with and marries Isabel II. They
have two children, the eldest being a boy named Samuel in honor of his late
brother. Life seems to become normal again for Tristan as he finds true
happiness in his young family. Tristan becomes involved in small-scale
smuggling bootleg liquor, finding himself at odds with the O'Banion brothers.
Tristan's wife is accidentally killed by a police officer working for the O'Banions,
and in grief and anger Tristan beats the officer nearly to death and has to serve
thirty days in jail. Susannah wants to visits him, but Tristan refuses and insists
she "go home to Alfred". After his release, Tristan and Decker kill those
responsible for Isabel II's death, including one of the O'Banion brothers.
Overview
Susannah commits suicide after realizing she cannot live without Tristan.
When the remaining O'Banion brother comes for Tristan, he and the corrupt
sheriff are killed by Colonel Ludlow and Alfred as Tristan attempts to protect his
father. Alfred reconciles with his father and brother. Tristan, knowing he will be
blamed for the men's disappearance, leaves for the mountain country after
asking Alfred to take care of his children. Over time, everyone in Tristan's life
die before him. As an old man, Tristan is set upon with a grizzly bear. He draws
his knife and fights with the bear. As they struggle, the image freeze-frames as
One Stab narrates: "It was a good death".
My Opinion
Legends of the Fall was fascinating and interesting book me to read, only it
was sometimes difficult to understand.
I have also seen the movie, but the movie does not include many aspects what
were in book .
I recommend this book , those who want understand intrigues between family
and when you whose to read this book I suggest first watch the movie , then the
book would be easier to understand.
Thank you for lisening !

"Ender's game"

Although she agrees to go along with Peter's plan for keeping the world united by taking on the identity of Demosthenes in her writings on the nets, she believes that her ability to persuade by flattery along with her other strengths (such as equal mental abilities) will, in the end, make her stronger than Peter. She is able to use that power to keep Ender from going back to Earth, where she is sure that he would fall under Peter's control, and instead takes him to the colony, where she writes a history of the war. Peter The oldest of the Wiggin children, Peter uses threats and violence in order to control those around him. Despite having tortured a squirrel in the woods, he admits that he fears becoming evil, and takes on the identity of Locke in order to influence events. When the bugger war ends, he ends the fighting on Earth through the Locke Proposal, and becomes Hegemon, basically ruling the world.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle Life Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, to an English father, Charles Altamont Doyle, and an Irish mother, Mary Foley, who had married in 1855.] Although he is now referred to as "Conan Doyle", the origin of this compound surname is uncertain. Conan Doyle's father was an artist, as were his paternal uncles (one of whom was Richard Doyle), and his paternal grandfather John Doyle. Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school St. Mary's Hall, Stonyhurst, at the age of eight. He then went on to Stonyhurst College, but by the time he left the school in 1875, he had rejected Christianity to become an agnostic. From 1876 to 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, including a period working in the town of Aston (now a district of Birmingham). While studying, he also began writing short stories; his first published story appeared in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal bef

E.M.Remarque "Läänerindel Muutuseta"

Fresh coffins are piled by the dozens already lying next to the schoolhouse. The soldiers make jokes to distance themselves from the unpleasant knowledge that the coffins have been made for them. At the front, they listen to the enemy transports and guns. They detect that the enemy is bringing troops to the front, and they can hear that the English have strengthened their artillery. The men are disheartened by this knowledge as well as by the fact that their own shells are beginning to fall in their trenches--the barrels on the guns are worn out. The soldiers can do nothing but wait. Chance determines whether things will take a turn for the better or for the worse. Paul relates that he once left a dugout to visit friends in a different dugout. When he returned to the first, it had been completely demolished by a direct hit. He returned to the second only to discover that it had been buried. The soldiers have to fight the fat, aggressive rats to protect their food

American Literature

While exploring the multilevel cultural clashes between the European settlers and the Native Americans, Cooper creates some acculturated natives and whites, who enter a middle ground between the conflicting cultures and, while retaining their own cultural identities, appropriate the best elements of each other's culture. The Song of Hiawatha is an 1855 epic poem, in trochaic tetrameter, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, featuring an Indian hero. It is loosely based on the legends and ethnography of the Ojibwe (Chippewa, Anishinaabeg) and other Native American peoples as contained in Algic Researches (1839) and additional writings by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, an ethnographer and United States Indian agent. In sentiment, scope, overall conception, and many particulars, Longfellow's poem is very much a work of American Romantic literature, not a representation of Native American oral tradition. Longfellow insisted, "I can give chapter and verse for these legends
