The Shot (Pushkin)
"The Shot" (Выстрел) is a short story by Aleksandr Pushkin published in 1831. It is the first story in Pushkin's '' The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin'', a cycle of five short stories. ''The Shot'' details events at a military outpost in a Russian province, and then several years later, on a country estate. Pushkin discusses themes of honor, revenge and death, and places them within the broader context of Russian society. ''The Shot'' tells the story of a retired soldier named Silvio, who harbors a grudge for many years following an argument in which he was disrespected in front of his peers. Told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator, the story concludes with Silvio returning to seek his revenge against the man who wronged him, the Count. Pushkin's inspiration for ''The Shot'' was a combination of his own personal experience, as well as the works of his peers.

Steady Nerves
''Steady Nerves'' is a 1985 album by Graham Parker and the Shot. The album was produced by William Wittman, who Parker's record company, Elektra, initially opposed. Parker had originally proposed '' Squeezing Out Sparks'' producer Jack Nitzsche, but this had been rejected by Elektra. As a result, Elektra only forwarded the funds for four songs to be recorded before the company gave approval for Wittman; ultimately, the rest of the album was recorded and released. Parker recalled, I mentioned that Wittman, who had somehow or other come across my transom, had just engineered C. Lauper's rather brill '' She's So Unusual'' LP. Well, truth be told, Bill W. is quite a forceful little fella and I really had no input in the production at all and just gave up and let him get on with it. He obviously knew what he was doing, and that, to me, is the problem with the record. My weakness and laziness let it happen. I was really hoping for a much more unusual sounding collection but didn't h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shot Heard Round The World
"The Shot Heard 'Round the World" is a phrase that refers to the opening shot of the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, which began the American Revolutionary War and led to the creation of the United States of America. It was an early event in the first wave of the Atlantic Revolutions, an 18th- and 19th-century revolutionary wave in the Atlantic World that includes the mostly-unrelated French Revolution. The phrase has subsequently been applied to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, a catalyst event for World War I, and hyperbolically applied to feats in sports. Skirmish at the North Bridge The phrase comes from the opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn" (1837) and refers to the first shot of the American Revolution at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, where the first British soldiers fell in the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.
