dear sowbagyavathy renuka , ' dheerga sumangali bhava ' wishes the couple at the same time . not just ' sumangali ' , but ' dheerga sumangali ' ! although i don ' t know sanskrit , i dare say , ' dheerga ' possibly means gloriously , satisfactoriliy etc . ' dheerga ' may be equal to ' pushkalam ' . may be something similar to ' பதினாறும் பெற்று பெரு வாழ்வு வாழ்க ' ! i am not knowledgable enough to discuss this . dheerka sumangali bhava ' . ' பதினாறும் பெற்று பெரு வாழ்வு வாழ்க ' . cheers !

the blessing
dhirgha sumangali bhava
is relevant to old times when the condition of a widow was mostly bad . these days it should be
dhirgha dhanwan bhava
. wealth can take care of every thing including hospital expenses . as for the priest reciting the mangalasutra slokam , i would add that the priest somewhere else say
mama pitharam udhishya
, etc . he ( priest ) is the brahman and omnipresent , he is the husband , he is the son and he is the father and so on .

opposite to the title , preeti became ` vidhavai ' in few years of marriage . in arranged marriages , elders bless young brides ` dheerga sumangali bhava ' which means that the bride lives her full life with her husband and die at the old age before her husband ( which is considered to be a blessing ) . elders bless young couple by saying ` pathinaarum petru peru vaalvu valzhga ' which means that they get all the sixteen wealths in their life and live happily ( and not sixteen children as commonly misunderstood ) including children .

the nadaswaram was being played with utmost precision and perfection , women were all decked up in their best collections of dharmavaram pattu saree , men were all in their exotic best in their sparkling white n white shirt n dhoti , small girls were in their exotic best with their multi - colored traditional half - saree with jasmine adoring their young and long tresses and the whole atmosphere was gala at its best . it was the perfect traditional wedding set - up one could ever wish for…
preethi was getting married to her distant relative prem . prem was not only a distant relative but also a childhood friend of preethi . the marriage was nevertheless an arranged - marriage . prem was working for a small company as an engineer . preethi had just finished her graduation in commerce and was full of dreams of a happy wedded life .
when the muhurtham time arrived , the archakar shouted getti - melam - - - getti - melam and with the perfection of a symphony , all the musicians sitting across started trumpeting their nadaswaram and tabla with a high pitch and prem tied the “thali” around preethi’s ever - inviting neck . while preethi was all smiles and tears , prem was all smiles whilst bundle of nerves . the rituals went on for another hour and the couple was set free to move around .
preethi went into the bride’s room in the mantap and met with all the relatives who had arrived from near and far - off places and hours flew by the minutes and days flew by the hours and months flew by the days . any progress ? any progress ? questioned near and dear ones started asking preethi . did you check - up with a doctor ? and what not – all sorts of assumptions were being made adding to the mental agony for preethi .
it was prem and preethi who knew the reasons . prem mentioned that since he was not very well off – they could have a child when he was fit - enough meaning when he gets into a good job with a good salary . preethi agreed .
after a year or so , prem moved into a better job with a better salary . their happiness knew no bounds . they went for their real honeymoon to ooty for a week . preethi went to all those temples which she had visited earlier , to pray for a better break for prem , to thank all those gods now .
as months passed by , preethi felt it was the right time to get into a new home of their own ; de - linking prem’s aged parents all alone . she justified saying it was the right time to set up a family of their own – disconnecting the dependence of prem on his father . for this proposal to go nuclear , prem disagreed saying he wanted to have a fat bank balance . preethi never agreed to this – saying a small loan at this stage would not seem such a big burden .
preethi instead of convincing prem and father - in - law , protested vehemently . neither prem nor his father could understand her motivation to go nuclear . preethi confided in me that she enjoyed very little freedom at home ; she could not understand prem the extent she liked ; she mentioned that even to go for a weekend movie , prem would invite his parents ; she had to labor at home with the daily chores ; she felt constrained when her college friends wanted to visit her for a day or two – because her in - laws protested ; never a day passed by without a stinker of a comment on her cooking ; in short she felt out - of - place . she never felt the homely feeling that she enjoyed at her parents home .
on repeated pleadings by prem , preethi mentioned that prem’s brother and his wife were making nasty comments about them being dependent on his father . in actual , prem was the one who was taking care of all the household expenses . so the impression of prem and mrs . prem depending on prem’s father’s pension was just a false - notion . despite prem’s pleadings for couple of month’s time , preethi , never agreed .
on getting a loan from a bank , prem and preethi , moved into a rented apartment . as days passed by , life in the new nuclear home became monotonous . preethi lost zest in life for unknown reasons and that reflected in her cooking and other household chores . despite prem asking for reasons , she never replied straight . she started yelling at prem . prem was confused . prem adjusted to the new scenario with the greatness of a true sage and moved on . when there was food at home , he had – without protesting on poor - taste or poor - quality of preparation .
i wondered what else prem could do . now when i asked preethi – she was my schoolmate and we have been together for more than a decade now – she never replied straight . but with me and our other common friends , she showed no change . she was as bubbly as she has ever - been . but the problems in marriage showed up in her sharp reactionary comments and attitude in life . but she did mention that the way she chatted for hours with prem before marriage , was missing now . she mentioned that she had expected that she would be chatting more with prem after marriage and the quality and content of chats would be much more deeper and more meaningful . she wondered whatever happened to that . words were not there to blurt out ; neither were they finding any topics of mutual interest to discuss .
when i asked prem , if there was any problem in marriage – “problems ? no , no way . ” prem was as charming as he has ever been . but for some strange reasons , the charm between prem and preethi , vanished for reasons not known to the outside world .
preethi , are you upset that you don’t have a kid ? - i asked mildly but in the straightest possible manner . she kept mum and never replied . when i fired the same question to prem – “no . no way . when i cannot take care of my own needs and dreams , there is no way can i have a child” – was the straight reply . did you convince preethi on this aspect ? – “yes” was another straight reply . i wondered the reasons for the chemistry to vanish between them . all the elements of normal marriage were missing between them .
prem was getting all the more frustrated seeing his friends and colleagues happily married and having fun in life . he felt that there was no fun in life without a good marriage and that there was an end to all problems . in this case , he thought the best was to get a divorce . preethi also , apparently , felt the same – but never opened her mind on this contentious issue called “divorce” .
“preethi , will you accept a divorce ? ” – i asked her . she thundered “what the hell ? are you trying to break my marriage ? do you have any vested interest in breaking my marriage ? - and all hell broke loose . i did not pursue further in this matter and left her alone .
prem was fed up with the marriage and he felt that there was no way he could continue like this forever . hence he approached his dad saying he wanted to divorce . to his dismay , his father replied straight – “take a vacation and come back . everything will be alright” .
when prem approached his mother – she passed away with a massive heart attack .
behind prem’s charming smiles were hidden all the dejections that one could ever have in a failed marriage . but none in the outside world could ever guess this .
prem’s dad stuck to his position and said that problems in marriage are all common . divert your attention from this issue for few days and everything will become ok . prem was disgusted with this reply and vowed that he never would come back to his father seeking help or guidance .
though embarrassing , very reluctantly he approached his aunt to help him . but in vain . when he approached his elder brother , he just laughed away the matter , saying – “baby , c’mon you are too young to talk big things like divorce . it will be a shame on our entire family if you even mention the word divorce outside these four walls – imagine the depths of shame if you divorce – go go . take a vacation and come back ; everything will be alright . ”
prem , a shy and god - fearing person by nature did not have the guts to rock the boat , in a single mighty stroke .
months passed by and the chemistry that existed between prem and preethi before marriage never returned – according to both prem and preethi . prem felt highly disgusted and even thought of committing suicide .
prem was cheerful as ever and when he invited me for a dinner – i agreed reluctantly . he took me to a five star hotel . “why did you not invite preethi ? ” “to hell with her . don’t get her name here . i just came to relax and wanted to have a peaceful dinner – sans crowd . ” “ok… cool down . i bet you will have the dinner of your lifetime tonight” i cheered him . while having food…he cribbed – “i have cleared the personal loan ; acquired a car ; acquired all the fancy items that i had dreamt for many years now ; also acquired a small apartment of my own ; but i am getting frustrated in life despite all these positives . i did not buy all these on my own volition – it was preethi who egged me to each one of these . now still she is not content and i don’t know what else she wants . apparently she herself is confused . i feel like killing her . none in the family are coming to my rescue – no one wants to help me . i am frustrated . ” seeing him in a very dejected and charged up mood , i thought it was better he stay away from preethi for the weekend for a change . so i invited him to my apartment .
in the apartment , passions ran high when prem was narrating his sad stories . i was completely overwhelmed listening to his tragedy in life – when i came back to senses we were on the sofa au - naturel . i saw prem deep in sleep . i slept back . the next morning , with a sense of guilt , i had my longest bath ever . a while later…“prem…prem get up – it’s already nine . ” finding no response from prem , i shook his head…but his head was hanging with saliva out and…he was gone forever .
i was shattered to the core ; carrying the unbearable pain in the heart and confusion in my mind ; i went back to kerala to be with my ever - loving parents ; and stayed there for few years .
when i came to chennai on an occasion , i thought of calling - on preethi . there she was…sitting alone in a dark room , playing with a doll . “preethi , do you recognize me ? ” staring at me like a wounded tiger , she whispered – “why am i alive . kill me…kill me…” . clutching the doll she cried , “this is my daughter . her father is prem . do you know ? ”
i called out “sada . . sada…” came running my 9 year old daughter sada…with tears rolling down my eyes , i was shattered beyond control and comprehension . sada is the living memory of that portentous day with prem…
sixthsenseman : thanks for stopping by . . . i agree . . . expectations growing exponentially and level of patience spiralling downwards - i feel , is the root cause of all problems / discord in current day marriages .
it was a masterpiece . you have rightly thrown light on the problem faced by the majority of couple . one can find many preetis and prems in the modern world . the nuclear families had added fuel further to the breaking marriages . expectations are very high from each other in married couples and patience is much lesser . further the sense of insecurity is there ! one longs for more and more . important decisions like , having a child or marrying is deferred in the name of settling or in the name of career . divorce seems to be the only solution . in fact , one should give enough breathing space to other spouse so that there is no suffocation in the married life .
the emergence of sara is the most impressive part of your story . what a tragic end to the marriage of prem and preeti ! but we should try to peep deep into ourselves to find the answers !
wow ! an excellent analytical comment - i suspect you beat even google - analytics software .
changing partners frequently as in the usa - where about 60 % of the marriages ends in divorce urltoken - is not desirable in indian context , for the simple reason that about 80 % of the girls here are dependant on husband for a living . the divorced women may fall into wrong traps like prostitution , etc .
in todays ' indian metros divorce rate has increased tremendously [ actually doubled in 2006 in chennai as per a report in deccan chronicle couple of weeks back ] because the expectations are not only very high but skewed . every guy [ expressly wishes ] wants to see an aishwarya in his wife and every girl [ implicitly desires ] wants to see a sharuk khan or amir or some other hero in her husband . that is the reason while guys / gals go through 100s of profiles during the match - making process - and after marriage - within a couple of weeks they realise that the dreams were one thing and actuality is something very different - resulting in discord . it is said that guys imagine the
stuff
beneath the saree and girls imagine
stuff
[ the heart ] beneath the skin - during the match making ceremony - which [ imagined calculation ] i personally feel in most cases will go awry . coming back to the report , it also mentioned that divorce rate was very very high among employed females - in this highly materialistic world relationship also has become a commodity - which is a sad thing that is happening to fast growing indian metros .
anyway it is a complex topic to be debated , but very interesting . why don ' t you come out with a blog on this and i guess will be a sure fire hit in sulekha .
in arranged marriages , there are many benefits . besides matching horoscopes of both , they see character , status and everything before marrying . in such marriages , relatives get together and share happier moments , elders bless young couples and life starts smoothly . some marriages end in failures which cannot be avoided .
in this case , preeti got frustrated because of no issue of children and prem was not interested in having child till he is financially secured . he was solely responsible for the precarious situation of preeti . in india , elders start enquiring bride ( within few months ) as to whether she has become pregrant or not ? at one stage , it becomes a head ache and if she remains childless for few years , then the lift becomes horrible . in this case prem did not want to become father and the marriage went into rocks . though he had all comforts , preeti could not be satisfied mainly for this reason and he remained admant which caused his life .
true , life becomes boring at one stage without children . after all , how long one can see each other ' s face . we have a proverb in tamil , ` mogam muppathu naal , aasai arubathu naal ' . couples indulge in sexual pleasures for some days . after few months , it too becomes boring . that ' s why to carry on life , children are needed . children not only make parents happy , but they make grand parents also happy and keep them engaged .
prem ' s option of getting divorce was not approved by their parents and elders for flimsy reasons is appreciable . in india , parents do not approve divorces for flimsy reasons . for them , life would have been more pleasant , had he listened to preeti ( of having child ) .
in metros , couples start living on mutual understanding ( without the botheration of bearing and rearing children ) . as long as mutual understanding exists between them , they live together . once misunderstanding creeps in , they opt for separation and go for another partner ( like western culture ) .
i failed to get an apt title for this piece - finally after about 15 minutes of pondering , i thought of this title and placed it . - the title means
wish you a long married life
but in this case , it turns contrary - to that extent the title is in direct contrast to the end ! ! !
the point i was trying to make was that the
group dynamics of elders
need to radically shift .
does the title old some significance ? . . . . did not zctully get its meaning .
the story on the whole begings well . . . it has a direction , the end though seems to have been made up with limited choices . . . as you said the start was a reality you could see and the end . . seems to have been made up , well . . it shows .
the good part is the narration , the pointers towards elders leaving things at
go get a vacation
, and the materialistic endevours instead of the spritual kinds . . . nice write uips on the whole
cultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be .
- i like this and it is very apt .
i was not looking for that explicit explanation that you have give : that was quiet understandable . there can be several interpretations . but no , i was not bothered by the lack of the explicit conclusion in the story . i was talking about the problem between prem and preethi .
about your two questions , 1 > elders do come to
help
. 2 > no they do not have to stick together .
i have seen the two things happen so many times . so they are not some exceptions .
cultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be . usually , we use them as excuses to cover our own inadequacies or lack of personal strength . one has to stop questioning
them
and start questioning
oneself
.
thanks for stopping by . . . i agree these things never happened in the past . . .
storywise well written , backgorund well portrayed , the build up to the issue was fine . . . but where is the issue . issue itself missing . . . answer is found towards the end . . . childlessness . . . whose fault is that . . . why did nt they check out it out with a doctor ?
what prompted preethi to distant herself from prem ? it is her urltoken is her upbringing . may be she is upset with herself ? the guilt that she can ' t give birth to a baby . . . the guilt that she cant bear his child . . . therefore she created a racket . . . rather pre - emptive strategy of offensive in nature she was adopting . . . to defend herself before prem expresses his strong desire to have a kid . . . these situations did happen in the past and are happening today too . . .
its good that he died . . . what is unrealistic in your story is that in today ' s context gals dont go mad . . . they keep the guy and his family under threat . . .

dear all , i have one more question : in the hindu wedding rites is consent asked anywhere from both groom and bride ? being present for the marriage to takes place only implies implied consent . is there any mantra recited for consent and may be priest also answers on proxy ? i have one more question also . . i recently attended a homa at a house of a relative and the priest was reciting ganapathi atharva seersha and he had missed a couple of stanzas and also it was not recited according to sequence he was mixing up lines . . i just have a question ( i dont doubt his bhakthi ) but how effective is a homa if the priest is fumbling verses . . it goes rather unnoticed cos not many know sanskrit out here in malaysia . and also if a priest who gets it right but has no idea what the meaning is how effective will be the homas they conduct ? most priests i have seen even those from india are unable to pronounce
sha
and even a line like
sarva vigno pashantaye
is prnounced as sarva vigno pasantaye
do this minor errors affect the outcome of the homas . . i am asking this q purely on technical grounds as i do not doubt the bhakthi of any priest i have heard before . . feedback please . . .

iyya , as a practical minded person i am with you 100 % . i have widowed cousins who marry their children with themselves being present , fully dressed to the hilt , and fully participating in all the functions , except dharavaathu kodukkal . not only i found there is support for this in our family , which i would consider a values - in - transition - re - modern - traditional tending towards what is acceptable today . ie i do not think , these young fashionable looking widows would be thus participating without the acceptance of the key folks on both sides . which to me is great gratification , as it was about 25 years ago , a widowed cousin , with her own earnings married off her daughter and herself was consigned to the back corners of the kalyana mantapam and no one except me , appeared to be upset about it . times , they have indeed changed for better , for the women , and as a consequence for the men too , as the current day guys do not have this ugly blotch of prejudice towards their own mothers and sisters and daughters .
i do not know whether there is a shastra sammadam in treating the widows like that in old days . but definitely the ladies must have contributed a lot to the misery . if the present day ladies realize that , we can think we are on a changing mode . with due respect to modern ladies , we have still a long way to go .

lester del rey’s the eleventh commandment , originally published in 1962 , was revised by the author in 1970 . i’ve reviewed the 1970 edition — i do not know to what extent the original was changed .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
from emergency meetings in the oval office to a russian mafya boss ' s luxurious hideaway outside st . petersburg , the eleventh commandment sweeps readers off their feet from the first paragraph . as in jeffrey archer ' s previous bestsellers , the eleventh commandment features enough plot - twisting ingenuity , exotic characterization , and narrative surprise to take the art of thriller writing to a new level . in his latest novel , jeffrey archer is at the peak of his page - turning powers .
new franchise media inc . has announced plans to adapt the jeffrey archer bestseller , the eleventh commandment , into an ongoing television series . gale anne hurd ( the terminator , “the walking dead” ) is attached to produce through valhalla entertainment . the official description for the series is as follows :
that aforementioned plot may very well have had potential if only anything even remotely interesting happened in the film , which is sadly not the case . the acting by most of the cast is simply atrocious and the character motivations are perplexing to say the least . even the fleeting joy of finding james avery ( future uncle phil to the fresh prince ) in a minor part at the beginning of the movie isn ' t nearly enough to recommend this film to anyone .

in resulting post - apocalyptical wasteland , the catholic church fills the political / moral power void in north america , and to a lesser extent in europe . del rey’s novel is a future extrapolation of the ramifications of a state controlled completely by the church . in order to repopulate the earth , the american catholics promulgated a doctrine of the eleventh commandment :
in the eleventh commandment , connor fitzgerald is the cia’s most deadly assassin , hiding the details of his career from his family . only days from his retirement from the agency , he comes across an enemy he cannot handle , the director of the cia , bent on making connor the fall guy for a phony assassination on a russian presidential candidate that could inadvertently trigger world war iii .
“ten were given to moses , for the hebrews , ’ gordini answered . ‘and out lourd instructed us to observe them . but what we call the eleventh — it should be called the original commandment — was given by god the father to the entire human race through adam , to whom he said , ‘be fruitful and multiple and replenish the earth . ’ it was the foundation of our accomplishments” ( 15 ) .
the eleventh commandment is a thought - provoking piece of 60s social science fiction — the themes of religion , bioengineering , overpopulation , pollution , are all discussed in depth . although in no where as poignant , experimental , and brilliant as john brunner’s stand on zanzibar ( 1968 ) which discusses similar themes , del rey’s contribution to the overpopulation subgenre is worth reading .
engaging yet fundamentally flawed political thriller by jeffery archer . there were times where i was bored with both archer ' s prose and his story . . . and other times where i was enthralled with the twists and turns archer had to offer . yet in the end , the story does not pay off as it should . . . and archer drops the ball where he should have played it through . in
the eleventh commandment ,
a political assassination in columbia sparks a cover - up trail that ends with the director of the cia . the hired
having just finished watching all seven seasons of scandal on netflix , i couldn ' t help but notice some similarities . the eleventh commandment could have been an episode ( or maybe an entire season ? ) of scandal . a spy agency that is working above the law with no regard towards what the president wants ? a power - hungry female who will do anything to secure her position as the head of this spy agency ? presidents being assassinated for the good of the united states of america ? tell me this doesn ' t so
what you need to know is that this book will hold your interest and keep you involved to the back cover . connor fitzgerald has been married to meg for many years ; their daughter is weeks away from graduation from the stanford med school . connor , a lifelong cia operative , has just a few jobs left to do before he can retire . in his world , the eleventh commandment is “never get caught . ” connor has quietly carried out assassinations for the united states for years , and he successfully concludes one in
the eleventh commandment is a compelling and engaging read . it ' s not particularly deep in terms of literary genius , but it is an exciting page turner . a top cia assassin gets thrown on the scrap heap after successfully completing a job for his boss , however when his boss starts taking heat from the whitehouse he ' s brought back for one last job where his boss intends to dispose of him for good , in russia of all places . it ' s better than the blurb sounds that ' s for sure .
jeffrey archer was unable to publicise his 11th novel , sons of fortune ( 2002 ) , because he disobeyed the title of his 10th novel , the eleventh commandment ( 1999 ) - colloquially ,
thou shalt not get caught
. since sons of fortune , there have been three volumes of prison diaries - in which archer ' s previously bouncy style did seem to have become more ascetic and penitent - but now comes his first novel as an ex - con .
, i suspect it provided the impulse for del rey to rewrite the novel . despite the involving premise , the plot is often a
although my exams were a couple of days ahead , i couldn ' t stop reading this engaging book . talking about engagement , i must have been found day and night sticking to the eleventh commandment much to the annoyance of my family members and peers . other than that , what a read ! out of habit , i ' d read exactly the last line of the story , which i won ' t repeat , strictly speaking as i regretted it . though it kept me anticipating a happy ending , i would have definitely been shocked at the moments , i was e
the eleventh commandment is a very well - written espionage thriller story which reminds me a lot of robert ludlum ' s bourne series . connor fitzgerald is a cia operative with years of dedicated service as an assassin for the united states government in foreign countries around the world . when his superiors set him up to be captured and executed in an effort to get rid of him , they learn how loyal some of his friends are , and instead of going away , he becomes a threat and a liability to them . i found
brit writer jeffrey archer is having quite a month . hot on the heels of last week’s story that bourne producer frank marshall would be developing a spy movie franchise based on archer’s novels a matter of honor and honor among thieves comes news that another one of archer’s books — the eleventh commandment — is being developed as a thriller television series by the walking dead producer gale ann hurd . the story follows cia assassin connor fitzgerald , who finds himself facing off against his own boss , agency chief helen dexter . meanwhile , a ruthless russian power is plotting to start world war iii . read more after the jump .
last night i finished the eleventh commandment by jeffrey archer . in one word - wow ! have i missed this ? how can this not have been made into a movie ? is it politically incorrect ? anyway , the whole book follows connor fitzgerald , a man i liken to james bond in the loosest sense . not a womaniser , a man we all aspire to have as a friend or soul mate . yet , deadly as sin . . . since he is an american agent . the story starts with an assassination and it takes one twist after another , whilst making you b
i love jeffrey archer books and over the time i even got used to his style when within a few pages he tends to move by a decade or two - both an action and his characters - and you find yourself dealing with a few generations , not just one person : ) therefore ,
the eleventh commandment
came as a surprise , since the author gave only one character in his book the right to entertain its readers until the last page and i truly enjoyed the fast paste action and never boring adventure across the world . i love reading political thrillers and jeffrey archer did a great job at keeping me
glued
to the book : ) i think the ending was a bit predictable , but still i would definitely recommend it to other readers .
) concerns of the 50s / 60s . due to the fact that overpopulation fears gained a lot of currency after the publication of the 1968 bestselling non - fiction work
rather intriguing story . reading archer after quite a while and the stories he delivers remain unchanged , ie exceptional . the character development and the story line was one of the best from him . highly recommended .
this movie is ok , and it has also some gory moments . the plot is also ok , and the acting is ok . but the movie is not so ok , but you can still watch even a second time around . but believe me , the trailer of the movie is better than the movie itself !
the following correction was printed in the guardian ' s corrections and clarifications column , saturday 4 march 2006 .
in the article below , we suggest that jeffrey archer owns a van gogh self - portrait mentioned in the book . that is not in fact the case .
this was a fabulous book . the plot was fantastic and the characters were terrific . it gives a lot of insight into the inter - workings of the cia , an the administration . there were so many twists and turns , you couldn ' t put the book down . i would recommend it to everyone who loves a true thriller .
indeed , the very gullibility of the gung - ho johnny rico that manifests through the book is nicely put , and few of the more modern sci - fi books put forward such a hidden cynicism in a still sympathetic character .
this book was an intriguing book that keeps the reader guessing as to what will happen next and who was the
villian
of the story . even at the end , the author still throws a twist at the end and not everything seems like it should be until the last page ! i really enjoyed this book , although it makes me wonder if things like this truly happen with our government ! : )
del rey pursues the ramifications of this commandment in the post - atomic war future defined by this doctrine in a world which has already been overpopulated — earth , 2190 a . d , population circa 22 billion . as a result , del rey can make his social commentary on religion more relevant to the current day . obviously , in a world where there are almost no one a catholic doctrine which facilitates births would not be that surprising . however , in a world where the environment is suffering , cropland is increasingly sterile , or billions could die due to a single famine or contaminated plankton harvest , del rey’s warning rings loud and strong .
connor fitzgerald is a professional ' s professional . holder of the medal of honor . devoted family man . servant of his country . but for the past twenty - eight years , fitzgerald has been leading a double life as the cia ' s most deadly assassin . and only days before his retirement from the cia , he comes across an enemy who , for the first time , even he cannot handle . the enemy is his own boss - helen dexter - the director of the cia . dexter ' s stranglehold on the agency is threatened by one decision , and her only hope of survival is to destroy fitzgerald . meanwhile , on the other side of the world , a formidable new foe is threatening the united states : a ruthless hard - line russian president , who is determined to force a new military confrontation between the two superpowers .
i generally enjoy jeffry archer , but this one attempted to be a spy thriller , and it was never really tense . i never got the sense that the main characters were really in danger . very slow - moving until the last third of the book .

but dexter’s stranglehold on the agency is threatened by a power greater than her own , and her only hope is to destroy fitzgerald . meanwhile , on the other side of the world , a new threat to national security is emerging : a ruthless hardline russian president who is determined to force a military confrontation between the two superpowers . it’s up to the intrepid fitzgerald to pull off his most daring mission yet — save the world and his own life .
easy read . deserved one more star , but the climax disappoints me . it ' s not up to the mark . the kind of build up for the lead charecter conner fitzgarald receives , but he constantly disappoints with his actions and helplessness . though it is a fast page turner and easy read .
a wealthy but unmarried woman dies , and since no heirs can be found , her estate will automatically go to her attorney . the attorney ' s partner , however , would like to get his hands on the old woman ' s money , so he hatches a scheme with a barmaid and a distant relative of the woman for the barmaid to pose as the dead woman ' s direct descendant so she ' ll collect the estate and they can all split the proceeds . however , things don ' t go exactly as planned .
i really enjoyed the book . i liked the characters , i liked the plot . . alot . i enjoyed reading it and watching it unfold . i was rooting for the good guys and , hoping the bad guys would be caught and punished , some were but some were not . was it believable , probably not but it was within the realm of my imagination and it allows me to escape from my everyday life , if only for a moment .
due to the centrality of the polemic , i recommended the novel for fans of 60s / 70s social science fiction only ( and perhaps del rey completest , although i suspect , tentatively , it is unlike the majority of his work ) . i found del rey’s vision incredibly relevant to our current political environment .

an amazing book , every part of it was great , this book was so unpredictable that you could never tell what was going to happened in the next 10 pages , the writer didn ' t disappoint . i think these sort of cia focused books are great but as it is supposed to reflect the real world the ending was disappointing but still brilliant , i think i will read more of archer ' s books in the future
as well as charmlessness , archer ' s other weaknesses as a novelist are also present . possibly the most contrived clue in all crime fiction is that anna has carefully unstitched the letter p from her jogging shirt to disguise the fact that she attended pennsylvania university . unfortunately , the outline of the give - away initial remains . is it churlish to wonder why she didn ' t just buy another running shirt ? archer also continues to have a van gogh ' s ear for speech . although the conversations are explicitly taking place in 2001 , the phrasing seems to date from decades earlier as characters snap

hurd already has plenty of experience developing action - oriented properties under her belt . in addition to the walking dead , her credits include the terminator franchise , aliens , and the recent punisher and hulk movies . she’s currently working on the pirate drama port royal , with graham king’s ( the departed ) gk - tv . “jeffrey archer’s storytelling is compelling , character driven and perfect for television — full of fast - paced , high - stakes danger , ” said hurd in a statement .
the difficulty is that archer also asks 9 / 11 to serve another narrative purpose . anna , working in one of the towers , is able to fake her own death . archer has had problems with taste before , when he employed senator edward kennedy as the object of an assassination plot in shall we tell the president ? , bringing understandable objections from a family that had seen two sons shot .

i enjoyed this quick fun read . the characters were cool and ja did a pretty good job with the plot . definitely worth a perusal ( or listen on audio ) on those hot summer days .
the sadness of archer ' s writing career is that a taut and absorbing crime story - not a penny more , not a penny less - was followed largely by bloated family yarns . false impression is closer to his beginnings , and the smart plotting of the heist suggests that the novelist may have picked up useful data from cell - block colleagues . unfortunately , he seems not to have signed up for remedial english .

and , if they are obviously writing social science fiction i’m not convinced it needs to be subtle . i guess the difference is how the polemic is conveyed . by means of characters lecturing us ? or , by their actions… . engagement with societies , etc . here , it’s more the engagement with society type of polemic .

oh don’t get me wrong , i think he honestly was putting forward a thought experiment , and the anti - communist sense to the novel is about as hammer handed as one can imagine . even so , there is a stream of cynical critique , both about the system he is suggesting , and western capitalist democracy as a whole .
i saw this novel listed in a recent sunday issue of the new york times . since i’ve read a number of works by jeffrey archer , this one aroused my interest . i thought it was a new issue but when i received it i learned that it had been published in 1998 . the scenes mentioning airport security reminded me how life has changed since 9 / 11 . the central character is connor fitzgerald , a military hero in the viet nam war , a devoted family man , and a hit man for the cia . his enemy is not a foreign dicta

when richard nixon was facing the possibility of jail during watergate , he was able to put a positive spin on prison , telling an aide that many great works of literature had been written behind bars . a pardon from president ford kept tricky dicky out of that creative writing school , and so it has been left to a right - wing politician from britain to test the theory that a spell in chokey improves the prose .
years after his uncle charles ( dick sargent ) cruelly and unjustly has him committed to a mental asylum , robert knight ( bernard white ) manages to escape and immediately tracks charles down at an upcoming family reunion . along the way , robert makes a detour to abduct his cousin ( lauren woodland ) . after sharing a meal and conversation , the two set off to the reunion , where robert plans to dispense gory vengeance .
so , my point in a nutshell — not sure why people complain about polemical works of past eras . our current one is little different . it’s a shame that people dismiss the social sci - fi novels of the 60s for their so - called preachy nature and lack of subtlety .

a man must track down the reasons behind his brother ' s mysterious death , and uncovers a secret neo - nazi group headed by a powerful congressman .
using bin laden ' s mass murders as a plot device raises an even greater queasiness , especially as the dramatisation of the events is limited to perfunctory descriptions of people jumping off roofs or becoming engulfed in smoke . archer ' s writing has often seemed prone to a brisk heartlessness , and never more so than here . anna , thinking of friends who work in the buildings , reflects :

i’m not convinced that sci - fi has become more subtle ( or , any less blatant ) as it approaches our contemporary era 😉 i’m thinking haldeman’s forever peace ( 1997 ) or david brin’s ham - fisted attempts at utopian alien societies cavorting in blissful innocence , i . e . heaven’s reach ( 1998 ) , brightness reef ( 1995 ) , infinity’s shore ( 1996 ) — as preachy as the most preachy authors of the 60s . of course , my knowledge stops in the late 90s . although , kiln people ( 2002 ) was as un - subtle as a medieval battle - ax .

it is interesting to see how much modern writers have missed or forgotten about the form of hidden and subtle commentary . one wonders if we all need to go back and read some swift for a bit .

some modern authors , like say banks , have some fairly subtle… or at least not totally blatant commentary ( though some of his work is as subtle as a nuke ) , yet i agree with you that the last century also saw some very intelligently put forward critiques , sometimes so subtle as to be misconstrued .

i thoroughly enjoyed this as holiday reading . characterization were good . plot had turns and round about . it surprised me in places , and i had to go back and rethink a few sentences in light of later info . . . a good thing . depends on what you ' re looking for . . . . . but this could easily have a sequel .
haven’t read any ja for awhile . i think i’ll have to remedy that . this was a great and fun novel about an assassin and a russian politician who deserves to be his target . thank goodness i finished it at 1 : 00 am . i still have time to get a decent nights sleep .

the adjutant of the czar ( german : der adjutant des zaren ) is a 1929 german drama film directed by vladimir strizhevsky and starring ivan mozzhukhin , carmen boni and fritz alberti .

it is set in tsarist russia .

the adjutant of the czar

we don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on the adjutant of the czar . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .
“the figure of the czar is treated with almost mystical reverence … ; like christ in ben - hur , the czar is conspicuously placed just outside of the frame or with his back turned . ”
der adjutant des zaren [ the adjutant of the czar ] ( 1929 ) is a elegant silent film where we spend most of the time waiting for something to happen . while the pace is slow it ' s not like it ' s boring . while one could wish for more fireworks , the leads have plenty of personality to keep the tension in their relationship glowing . ivan mozzhukhin had charisma like few others and his love interest carmen boni , or the girl sent to kill him , has the eyes to question ' will she , or won ' t she ? '
if the film in anti - revolution it is critical of the now defunct czarist regime . helena and others are victims of the hated and brutal secret police . and whilst boris is able to thwart the plot it is at the cost of his love .
jermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .
during the first world war , a number of captured british officers attempt to escape a prisoner - of - war camp .
the film is very much constructed around the persona of mozhukhin . the early part of the film play like a romantic comedy as boris begins his involvement with helena . casper tybjerg describes one fine scene where romantic love is recognised :
whilst the film is set in pre - revolutionary russia the anti - socialist values are clearly apparent . casper tybjerg [ of the danish archive ] writes in the festival catalogue :
“later , during the grand ball , he thwarts the assassination attempt through the power of his piercing stare alone : after a tight close - up of muzhukhin’s eyes , helena is unable to pull out the pistol in her handbag . ”
“even so , the politics of czarist russia are ultimately destructive of true love , and the loyalty of mozhukhin’s character leaves him stranded on a darkened railway platform , staring tearfully after a disappearing train , billowing black smoke as it carries his wife away into the night . ” ( casper tybjerg in the festival catalogue ) .
the hero of the film , prince boris kurbsky is played by the great russian star ivan mozhukhin . returning to czarist russia after a failed romance and engagement boris meets and assist a mysterious lady at the border , helena di armore ( carmen boni ) . she has lost her passport so boris passes her off as his wife . this not only throws them together on the remaining train ride but sets up gossip amongst boris’s fellow officers . on his return boris is assigned to the personal guard of the czar : he also discover love and marries helena .
however , helena is not only mysterious but she has a secret . she has lost a family member to the czarist secret police and has now joined band of secret revolutionaries . boris is caught between his duty and his love for helena . helena , who now reciprocates , is caught between her love and her commitment . the film clearly comes down on the side of boris and the aristocratic class . the revolutionary are stereotypical subversives and there is no attempt to define their politics apart from their hatred of the czar whom they plan to assassinate . when we do meet them they are hidden in a cellar in a dark and disused buildings , full of shadows and far from the light .
this sequence is constructed around a number of close - ups , including the purse carried by helena . whilst the film moves between fairly conventional set - ups , as in the palace , at times it makes good use of camera and editing . a number of sequences enjoy rapid dolly shots , as at the imperial ball . there are short effective tracks when boris investigates the next of revolutionaries , and at one point what seems to be a hand - held camera . and the sequences with chiaroscuro , such as the revolutionary hide - out or the final railway station , are well presented .
the film was screened from the archive’s 35mm print , with danish title cards and a translation provided . john sweeney accompanied the film at the piano with a predominantly melodramatic score .
the director was vladimir strizhevsky and he also wrote the scenario . he carried on directing films in the bourgeois west until the 1940s . the excellent cinematography was by nikolai toporkov and the design by hans sohnle and otto erdmann . i did not find a credit for editing .
this film appeared in a programme at le giornate del cinema muto for ‘the danish film institute : a 75th anniversary tribute’ . the film was actually a hungarian production , filmed in berlin with the surviving print held in the archive . these varied credits are appropriate as this was one of the titles made by the peripatetic ‘white russian’ filmmakers after they chose exile over helping to build the new soviet union .

“his boyish elation when boni agrees to marry him is particularly endearing ; he sweeps her up in his arms and whirls around like a dervish , ending up in a pratfall with her on his lap . ”
