[21] The Zulu battle trance is another example of the tendency of certain groups to work themselves up into a killing frenzy.

May be that is his secret for his ability to allure the reader so very fast and so unceasingly. He identified the essential, that which leads and captivates the attention of the reader, and maintained as such. Essential.

Recent research has revealed that Amok syndrome is not culture-specific but a syndrome that could happen anywhere around the world because anyone could experience an episode of Amok. [17] Throughout history, mass murders have occurred in the United States, such as the Columbine High School massacre and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, bringing into question if Amok syndrome is based on mental illness or the simple act of committing mass murder. [17] Amok syndrome would, in turn, be more prevalent in other societies and not only in Malay cultures. In fact, there are other societies like Polynesia, such as "cafard," and Puerto Rico, "mal de pelea," that have similar syndromes with different terms. [18] Forms [ edit ] From English amok, from Portuguese amouco, from Malay amuk ( “ to go on a killing spree ” ). Displaced amog.Drive around the streets of the Riverside town in a variety of vehicles in an open world setting. Experience the interactive, fascinating and equally gloomy atmosphere! This is what happens when you give constitutional authority to a bureaucracy. They don't have to answer to us. They humor us occasionally by appearing before our Committee, but we have no authority over the PUC because they are independently out there by virtue of constitutional authority. Particularly when you have the PUC operating in a vacuum in terms of policy leadership, because there are only 2 PUC commissioners. Which means, of course, they can't talk to each other because it's a violation of whatever. So, you have bureaucracy run amok, and it's been " amoking" for seven years, and none of us has had the guts to say anything about it. Running amok would thus be both a way of escaping the world (since perpetrators were normally killed or committed suicide) and re-establishing one's reputation as a man to be feared and respected. The prose makes the book remarkable, way, way above the ordinary. The atmosphere drawn is beautiful, captivating, enticing—it makes the reader need to know more. One begs for the whole story. The man there with the pipe opens his heart and tells his story to the novella’s unnamed narrator. Concerning the plot, I need say nothing more….except one thing. The figure with the pipe is a doctor.

For those who’ve read any of Colin Cotterill’s previous Jimm Juree mysteries, this is a prequel to the series. Jimm’s mother has not yet bought her rundown resort on the Gulf of Siam, so that aspect of the setting isn’t featured. In this novel, Jimm, Sissy and Arnie are all on a movie set. Jimm is a journalist and has got her editor’s agreement to a story about a day in the life of a movie extra. The movie is supposed to take place in Siam in 1650, and will be the latest movie to star Dan Jensen, a toothy American superstar. Yes, it is intended to be a realistic portrayal of 17th century Siam, but (of course) the movie won’t sell without an America star. Sissy has managed to get Arnie and Jimm roles as extras in the movie. Extras? Yes, there are extras playing soldiers running amok and being killed. It’s dead easy. I listened to a Swedish translation of the novella. Hugo Hultenberg did the translation form German to Swedish. What I can state is that the prose was absolutely wonderful—stunning, emotive, captivating, enthralling. I wonder and hope the German to English translation is as good.
