Julia wants Rafa and Ana to remember that the family depends on their income both to survive and to pay the rent for their mother’s grave. ![]() She and her siblings, along with her husband Antonio and her baby, Lali, all live in a one-room shack in Vallecas. ![]() Desperately poor, the oldest sister, Julia, tries to keep the family together, including her younger sister and brother, Ana and Rafa. The father was shot by Franco’s minions, and the mother was imprisoned and dragged through the streets in humiliation before she died. The Torres Moreno family resisted Franco during the Civil War, and both parents were killed. Both parts are interspersed with excerpts from historical documents that provide context about the time. The second part of the novel, set 18 years later, follows the immediate aftermath of Franco’s death in 1975. The first and longest part of the novel, set in Madrid in 1957, explores the lives of the people living under the fascist control of dictator Francisco Franco. The Fountains of Silence is about silence and memory-in this case, the memory of trauma. ![]() ![]() ![]() Carson initially planned to call the sequel Return to the Sea, and began writing in 1948, just after hiring Marie Rodell as her literary agent. Simon & Schuster had published her first book Under the Sea Wind in 1941 it was reviewed favorably but it sold poorly. It remained on the New York Times Best Seller List for 86 weeks and it has been translated into 28 languages. The Sea Around Us won both the 1952 National Book Award for Nonfiction Īnd a Burroughs Medal in nature writing. ![]() Often described as "poetic," it was Carson's second published book and the one that launched her into the public eye and a second career as a writer and conservationist in retrospect it is counted the second book of her so-called sea trilogy. It reveals the science and poetry of the sea while ranging from its primeval beginnings to the latest scientific probings. The Sea Around Us is a prize-winning and best-selling book by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson, first published as a whole by Oxford University Press in 1951. July 1951 (previously serialized in part) ![]() ![]() ![]() As senior curator of anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Chip Colwell has navigated firsthand the questions of how to weigh the religious freedom of Native Americans against the academic freedom of scientists and whether the emptying of museum shelves elevates human rights or destroys a common heritage. Today, hundreds of tribes use the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act to help them recover their looted heritage from museums across the country. Five decades ago, Native American leaders launched a crusade to force museums to return their sacred objects and allow them to rebury their kin. Who owns the past and the objects that physically connect us to history? And who has the right to decide this ownership, particularly when the objects are sacred or, in the case of skeletal remains, human? Is it the museums that care for the objects or the communities whose ancestors made them? These questions are at the heart of Plundered Skulls and Stolen Spirits, an unflinching insider account by a leading curator who has spent years learning how to balance these controversial considerations. ![]() ![]() ![]() We see the events of the novel from her point of view – the observer whose complicity lies in getting out the bleach, disposing of bodies, or simply torching the scene of the crime. Her elder sister, Korede, a hard-working nurse, understands her responsibility with an unfailing if sometimes weary devotion. She has no shortage of young men who are in love with her but they all seem to find it exceptionally difficult to master the art of keeping her happy. The events of the novel are driven by the actions of Ayoola, a beautiful, self-centred young woman. Oyinkan Braithwaite’s widely acclaimed debut novel, My Sister, the Serial Killer, is a fast-paced, sharply observed, often darkly humorous portrait of the complex, protective relationship between two sisters, one of whom has the unfortunate habit of ending relationships by killing her boyfriends. ![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Syrianus thus reveals how Aristotelian metaphysics was formalized and transformed by a philosophy which found its deepest roots in Pythagoras and Plato. ![]() In presenting Metaphysics 4, Syrianus explains in what sense metaphysics deals with 'being as being' and how this includes the essential attributes of being (unity/multiplicity, sameness/difference, etc.), showing also that it comes within the scope of metaphysics to deal with the primary axioms of scientific thought, in particular the Principle of Non-Contradiction, for which Syrianus provides arguments additional to those developed by Aristotle. The questions raised by Aristotle in Metaphysics 3 regarding the scope of metaphysics are answered by Syrianus, who also criticises the alternative answers explored by Aristotle. Syrianus, originally from Alexandria, moved to Athens and became the.

Wallace’s life and work invite us to use the institutional language of addiction and the inherent narrative structure of twelve-step programs to read his novels as a progression toward an open-ended and always-contingent recovery from literary theory. This reformed Wallace repurposed these sterile, theoretical paradoxes as models for understanding not just the crises of individual experience, but also of American culture more broadly. Wallace completed only two novels-the first of which is generally dismissed as the work of a young author enamored of his talent, and the second of which is not uncommonly hailed as “the voice of a generation.” Between these novels, he weaned himself off an addiction to the conspicuous narrative foregrounding of poststructuralist theory, progressing into a writer capable of bringing theory to life through narrative engagement with its application. My dissertation frames the evolution of David Foster Wallace’s writing ethic as a function of addiction recovery. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe I am strong enough to collar wind and water. No other alpha is allowed to call the king by his name, it’s my touch he seeks when he’s tired or upset, and I am the only man he’s ever begged for pain and pleasure. Or can I?Ī mere horse handler, I walk freely in and out of the king’s bedrooms, and his noble guards hold the doors open for me. But no matter how much I love him, I can’t claim the king as mine. He’s all-powerful, my Sebastian, the god of passion and fertility, and I’m a believer now. Like wind and water, he escapes through the gaps between my fingers when I try to hold him. Can a commoner become the king’s true mate? Rumors circle that a peasant has become my favorite lover, but nobody knows the truth. ![]() ![]() This wasn’t a part of my plan-I wasn’t supposed to care for this man at all, let alone crave him by my side constantly. I can’t sleep without Jonah in my bed or touch my belly without my mind drifting to him. Not just my body, but my soul has changed too. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MILLSgeBOON Bond of Hatred Art by: Hiromi Kobayashi 20I I Original Novel by: Lynne Graham Copyright.
