By Ernest Hemingway
«Comme il se tenait là, avec l. a. mitraillette dans sa major gauche, jetant un regard circulaire avant de refermer le panneau à l'aide du crochet terminant son bras droit, le Cubain qui était allongé à bâbord et qui avait reçu trois balles dans l'épaule se mit sur son séant, visa soigneusement et lui envoya une balle dans le ventre.» Harry Morgan, un Américain installé à Cuba, gagne sa vie en organisant des croisières de pêche pour les touristes. Lorsqu’on lui suggest de transporter des hommes et des marchandises clandestines, sa vie bascule dans le crime. Ce roman a été adapté au cinéma par Howard Hawks dans Le Port de l’angoisse et par Michael Curtiz dans Trafic en haute mer.

the bright fiction of Charles Williams, who used to be a member of the Inklings along fellow Oxfordians C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Owen Barfield, is taken into account to be one of the such a lot provocative, imaginitive, and clever explorations of spirituality and the supernatural produced throughout the 20th century. The evidence lies in his impressive vintage The higher Trumps, a many-layered story of hubris and religion that's arguably one of many maximum mystical thrillers of all time.

M. 69 (after the words οὐδ’ ἄρα ἐν ἀγορᾷ ἐστιν ἄτοπον). These are alien to Diogenes Laertius’ text. The two anecdotes were probably recovered from a branch now lost (or not yet investigated) of the immense gnomological tradition belonging to Diogenes the Cynic. Whether their insertion can be traced back to the scribe of Φ or his model is a question that must remain open (see Laertiana 96–9). 51 ὁ μοιχὸς συνελή(μ)φθη Ω: ὁ αὐλητὴς μοιχὸς ἑάλω Φ ‘ὁ αὐλητὴς vel ex Theonis Progymn. 5 ([. ] ubi quater exstat) vel potissimum ex Florilegio quodam’ V.

Secondly: Ω, after P and γ (the model of F) had been copied, was taken from the east to Italy, and left in Sicily at least long enough for B to be written, and, somewhat later, for the anonymous B2 to make the numerous corrections and supplements to B. On account of the intervention by B2, the second hypothesis seems the more plausible. In both cases the terminus ante quem for the arrival of Ω in Italy is the date of B2, the first half of the twelfth century.
