![]() ![]() ![]() Iona isn't at all passive: she has a plan and she does what she can to execute it, even though that plan is simple survival. the vulnerable protagonist! Iona might not be everybody's cup of tea: she is the Fanny Price style of heroine, whose heroism lies in silent endurance rather than in stomping out and fixing everything, and in an age that links heroism inextricably with individual achievement rather than silent endurance, she might seem frustrating. ![]() It's a restrained, slowburn delight (I rated it PG-13 only for violence/abuse from the villain, not because of the romance) with a constant dark undercurrent of suspense, and I was utterly swept away by it. I was thoroughly delighted by this book - it's truly rare to stumble across a romance, fantasy or otherwise, so deft, so understated, yet so heartfelt. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Of mice and men cannery row![]() ![]() Steinbeck presents a perplexing friendship through these two protagonists, George Milton and Lennie Small, that were migrant workers. It was before World War 2 but because of the arduous conditions, men were deprived of companionship. Of Mice and Men was set in 1937, during the period of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, a time which was very crucial and dreadful for the Americans. This essay will criticize both books carefully, and also explore the various ways in which they are parallel in the portrayal of human fallibility. Both novellas also present the misconduct of women at the cost of their honour. Steinbeck wields the experiences of his characters in Of Mice and Men and Cannery Row, to portray the downfall of many prominent characters due to the era that they lived in. ![]() Of Mice and Men and Cannery row are both works of John Steinbeck that manifest several catastrophic events which lead to many characters demises. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Oranges are not![]() ![]() Jeanette Winterson’ın Tek Meyve Portakal Değildir (1985) başlıklı romanı, annesinin ve çevresinin baskıcı yetiştirme tarzına maruz kalan genç kız Jeanette’in hikâyesini anlatmaktadır.

Punk Chappie appears to be a selfish and thoughtless boy, though what we're really seeing is naivete and immaturity from a kind enough but rudderless child. ![]() Only this time, the bus has a new inhabitant - a middle-aged Jamaican who goes by the name of I-Man, and who becomes a huge influence on Chappie's transition to Bone, his new persona.While the first few chapters of the book may not elicit much sympathy from the reader, it soon becomes apparent that this could be the author's intention. Chappie finds himself returning to an abandoned school bus on some waste ground where he'd sought refuge once before. ![]() So far, so stereotypical.After fleeing a burning squat, he and his friend Russ part ways for a while. Chappie is already well on the way to trouble (presumably we know this because he has a mohawk and a nose piercing), and for the first few chapters he certainly finds it. At just fourteen years old, he is on the verge of being disowned by his mother and abusive stepfather. When we first meet Chappie, he's the ultimate lost boy. Rule of the Bone is the story of a young boy from Au Sable in New York State trying to sort himself out in spite of being hindered by every adult around him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our marketplace offers millions of titles from sellers.

A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg’s One Hundred Nights of Hero will capture readers’ hearts and minds, taking them through a magical medieval world. ![]() She has had two graphic novels published The Encyclopedia of Early Earth (Best Book Award at the 2013/14 British Comic Awards) and The One Hundred Nights of Hero. ![]() The two women hatch a plan: Hero, a member of the League of Secret Story Tellers, will distract Manfred by regaling him with a mesmerizing tale each night for 100 nights, keeping him at bay. Isabel Greenberg is an award-winning London based illustrator, comic artist and writer. In the Empire of Migdal Bavel, Cherry is married to Jerome, a wicked man who makes a diabolical wager with his friend Manfred: if Manfred can seduce Cherry in one hundred nights, he can have his castle - and Cherry.īut what Jerome doesn’t know is that Cherry is in love with her maid Hero. ![]() In the tradition of The Arabian Nights, a beautifully illustrated tapestry of folk tales and myths about the secret legacy of female storytellers in an imagined medieval world. ![]() ![]() The copying and translation of this ancient book-the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age-fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare and even Thomas Jefferson. ![]() That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature of Things, by Lucretius-a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the world's most celebrated scholars, Stephen Greenblatt has crafted both an innovative work of history and a thrilling story of discovery, in which one manuscript, plucked from a thousand years of neglect, changed the course of human thought and made possible the world as we know it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book does, of course, have a method to its creative madness, neatly presented in four sections. ![]() ![]() From “inspiration,” to “artist’s block” to Paul Klee, Tan explains how even though most of his work “involves exhibited projects like books, films, and finished paintings, the primary material of all these … remains largely unseen, tucked away in folios.” Culled from those “folios, boxes, and sketchbooks,” this latest title “present a cross-section of such material from the past twelve years, ranging from fairly precise drawings to scruffy scribbles.” All the drawings, by the way, were “generally completed in a single sitting of less than two hours.” Tan’s genius moves quickly, that’s for sure! It’s a Pavlovian reaction, guaranteed.Īlthough his latest doesn’t come with a straightforward narrative, it does manage to cleverly include tidbits and reminiscences from his entire oeuvre to create a whimsical portrait of an artist as a young man.
