Sweet Pepper (1923)
From: Chuck Darling

I purchased Sweet Pepper
as a $1 dollar used book.
Written in 1923, by Geoffrey Moss, a retired British Major,
it was his first book,
written as a girl's adventure story.
Jill (19) worked for the British
Military Mission in Vienna, during World War I.
Now that the war is over, she
dreads returning to London to find a job... without her wartime
work, she's penniless.
A sympathetic officer suggests
that she visit Budapest as a holiday, before she returns
to London...
And the Adventure begins.
Although written as a romance
novel, it has incredible detail
of the Hungarian society as
Hungary's lands are being partitioned off to the surrounding Bolshevic countries, at the direction
of The Supreme Council in Paris. The "Peace Treaty".
There is also deep psychosocial
analysis of individuals and
ideals and motivation..
It's not a disaster book...
except for the human condition.
Titanic occurred just prior
to WWI...
This is 1920... just after.
If you liked the 1997 Titanic Film,
This is the raw material.
A film is over in 2 hours ...
I spent 37 days with this book
at 11 pages a day.
Time well spent.
I took notes in the book,
referencing Titanic scenes.
I gave the book away to
someone who would READ IT.
Titanic is found in the Bible Code...
The first film about Titanic
was in 1912.
In 1943, Germany made a big
budget film, the first called
"Titanic".
Ironically, the German ship
SS Arcona, was later used
in prisoner transport at the
end of WWII... It was sunk
by the RAF, resulting in more
deaths than occurred in the
Titanic Sinking.
Titanic is also a Twilight-Zone
event in REALITY, having been
accurately foretold in the 1898
When you consider that the
Author of Futility was. a Navy
man, who claimed to have
invented the PERISCOPE,
and that gyroscopic torpedoes
existed since 1885...
and that the sinking of the
Lusitania was caused by
German U-boats...
You have to wonder about
that German Propaganda Film .
