Mark's a ruling prince, his firstborn son is blind and epileptic, and he decides to go chase down Woundhealer to cure him. In the meantime, his nephew Zoltan takes over the young adventurer role and wanders off on his own. The framing of this series is a little odd - the book is not really much about Woundhealer, although it's the spur that starts off much of the action. This is really just the first entry into the larger arc about Mark and his family's adventures (although they are all certainly related to the Swords.) It's not bad, although Zoltan's little offshoot tale feels a little unbalanced, and while the main arc is resolved, it doesn't have much of a climax. Not perfect, but not bad. Sightblinder's Story: Sightblinder's is a tighter story arc than Woundhealer's, and that helps, although it's a little impersonal - despite the peril our regular heroes are put in, they're still far from home and fighting an enemy that's a little too mythic to be really engaging. The character that really starts to shine here is the ex-queen Yambu - she was interesting in The Third..., and is even better now that she's a free agent and more or less one of the good guys. This is not my favorite of the stories, but like Woundhealer's it's solid enough. Stonecutter's Story: This is probably my favorite Swords book overall - even more so than The Second... It's a Sherlock Holmes pastiche set in a distant city with all-new characters and only the most indirect relationship to Mark. Stonecutter would be a tricky Sword to write about - it's awfully specialized - but the murder mystery format brings out many of the possibilities without losing focus in mundanity. The Watson-analogue is delightful - intelligent but naive, earnest without being tedious - and the Holmes-analogue is suitably mysterious and is shown to have a deep and interesting background. The complicated triple-bluff of the plot is well-executed, and there are enough hints throughout that an alert reader could conceivably figure out what's going on before the reveal. It's really a very solid mystery. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX A. THE RETEOSPECTIVB EFFECT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT ACT, 1886. It has been stated in the body of this work that the most difficult points have arisen in connection with Section 6 of the Statute of 1886. These points are more important in connection with musical copy- or performing-right than with any other subject-matter. This arises partly from the fact that many musical works of foreign origin (especially lyricodramatic ones) have fallen into the public domain, the title to protection under conventions between Great Britain and other States having lapsed through non-compliance with the necessity for registration arising on those documents. It has been asserted by some that it was the intention of the Legislature to "stretch backwards" (to use the homely, but vigorous phrase of a late eminent judge) the scope of the Convention of Berne so as to benefit authors who had lost their right by negligence; and to wake up again copyrights forty years old, it may be, a strange exemplification of the French proverb, "Le bien vient en dormant." There are several different periods to which, it may be argued, the statutory scope ought to be carried back, as will be hereafter seen. In the case of conventions with States which do not wish to join that of Berne, there must be some limit in point of antiquity to the claim of works to be swept in; and what that limit is to be under every combination of circumstances is not finally decided. Indeed, this doubt is not entirely set at rest even with reference to the Berne Convention itself, though there has been already considerable litigation. Section 6 of the Statute is as follows: -- "Where an order is made under the International Copyright Acts with respect to any foreign country, the... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
