Books with author William Noble

Imagine you are growing up in an Aztec family. Music and dance are important parts of your life, for they are tied in with religion, and pleasing the gods is very important. You will learn how to sing, dance, and play a musical instrument by the time you are twelve years old, and how well you do so will reflect on your family. You study music, and you perform in an orchestra that plays for special religious celebrations. Imagine you are a dancer or a singer. You and your group shake bodies, hands, and feet in time to the drums. You sing together while holding flowers and wearing feathers. The songs and dances tell a story, perhaps one of the early Aztec legends or something to do with the gods. Hundreds of people join you in these dances and songs, and when you perform well, your parents are very proud. Find out more about these customs and how the Aztecs lived, worked, and played in the land that would become Mexico.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The Impostor, or Born Without a Conscience, Vol. 2 of 3But a great conqueror, or even a great pick pocket may meet with an occasional reverse of fortune, an obstinate fortress or a lost battle, an active policeman, or gen d'darme, or a month at the treadmill; and yet be destined to a fresh career of triumphs; but the social impostor, on whose preservation of character, respectability, and outward appearance every thing depends, cannot afford to take a single false step; for him there is no retrograding a single trick laid bare to public ken, and like a bridge with out a keystone, or a train of logical induction upon false premises,the whole edifice, so artfully raised and supported, crumbles to the ground and the abomination of desolation instantly usurps its place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
