Book Description
"The sound was clearly that of water trickling; and I set it down to rain. A shower (I told myself) had filled the water pipes which drained the roof. Somehow, I could not fix the sound. There was a water pipe against the wall just outside the window. I rose and drew up the blind. To my astonishment no rain was falling; no rain had fallen. I felt the slate window still, some dew had gathered there— no more. There was no wind, no cloud: cloud only a still moon high over the Shimla Hills. I went back to bed and listened again. Yes, the trickling sound continued, quite distinct in the silence of house, not to be confused for a moment with the dull murmur of the pine trees. After a while it began to grate on my nerves. I caught up my candle, flung my dressing -gown about me, and stole softly downstairs. Despite the chilliness of the night there was something in the air. I jogged along the walk to the driveway and stepped around to the driver’s side. “Go ahead,” I felt a strange sensation. The echoes of his voice died away slowly all over the car. With thrilling twists and turns, read the story for some spine-chilling adventures with the spirits of Shimla. Here is a book that dims the light around you... that carries you relentlessly into the centre of its spell. A book that will make you afraid again... almost too afraid to go on... and yet powerless to stop. Get ready to be spooked!"

Making Empire
Author: Jane Ohlmeyer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192867687
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Ireland was England's oldest colony. Making Empire revisits the history of empire in IrelandEDin a time of Brexit, 'the culture wars', and the campaigns around 'Black Lives Matter' and 'Statues must fall'EDto better understand how it has formed the present, and how it might shape the future. Empire and imperial frameworks, policies, practices, and cultures have shaped the history ofthe world for the last two millennia. It is nation states that are the blip on the historical horizon. Making Empire re-examines empire as processEDand Ireland's role in itEDthrough the lens of early modernity. It covers the two hundred years, between themid-sixteenth century and the mid-eighteenth century, that equate roughly to the timespan of the First English Empire (c.1550-c.1770s). Ireland was England's oldest colony. How then did the English empire actually function in early modern Ireland and how did this change over time? What did access to European empires mean for people living in Ireland? This book answers these questions by interrogating four interconnected themes. First, that Ireland formed an integral partof the English imperial system, Second, that the Irish operated as agents of empire(s). Third, Ireland served as laboratory in and for the English empire. Finally, it examines the impact that empire(s)had on people living in early modern Ireland. Even though the book's focus will be on Ireland and the English empire, the Irish were trans-imperial and engaged with all of the early modern imperial powers. It is therefore critical, where possible and appropriate, to look to other European and global empires for meaningful comparisons and connections in this era of expansionism. What becomes clear is that colonisation was not a single occurrence but an iterative anddurable process that impacted different parts of Ireland at different times and in different ways. That imperialism was about the exercise of power, violence, coercion and expropriation. Strategies about howbest to turn conquest into profit, to mobilise and control Ireland's natural resources, especially land and labour, varied but the reality of everyday life did not change and provoked a wide variety of responses ranging from acceptance and assimilation to resistance. This book, based on the 2021 James Ford Lectures, Oxford University, suggests that the moment has come revisit the history of empire, if only to better understand how it has formed the present, and how thismight shape the future.
