It is no surprise that ‘Regeneration’ is a stylish treatise, somewhere between a press release and a political manifesto. He was a press advisor to Martin Luther King, at the tender age of 19, while holding down a job as a staff photographer for The Congress of Racial Equality on the side. His political credentials are equally impressive. He has founded several impact-oriented companies including Erewhon, using sustainable agricultural methods, and Energy Everywhere. Paul Hawken is one of the environmental movement’s leading voices and has dedicated his life to “changing the relationship between business and the environment”. The debate about climate change has moved on

Eldon's birthday is coming up, and he knows that his mother wants him to wish for such an endless supply of money, but Eldon can't stomach the reason she wants it-to pay doctors in a bootless attempt to save his sister, who is lying brain dead in a Las Vegas hospital and thus outside the reaches of a direct wish for recovery. So, for instance, a wished-for Madison bank account will be bottomless, but the wisher can't withdraw money from an ATM outside Madison. When folks in Madison, Nevada turn eighteen, they get one wish granted, so long as it doesn't really affect the rest of the world. I encourage anyone who is interested in furthering their understanding of the Battle of Gettysburg, or of simply reading a great book about the turning point in America's most devastating war, to read this book. "Stars In Their Courses" is a much more richly detailed - and not novelistic (though certainly not lacking in drama) - book, a book whose historical context is more fully exposed: each of the terrible interlocking events of those three days is exploded on the page so that we get a fuller appreciation of the totality of that battle, the "high-water mark of the Confederacy." In this sense "Killer Angels" is more like a novel than a history. That was by design as Shaara was seeking to show us the interior lives of the officers who fought at Gettysburg. The first Civil War book I ever read (not counting Stephen Crane's "Red Badge Of Courage" which I read back in the 10th grade), was Michael Shaara's "Killer Angels," an excellent book, moving and informative though somewhat discursive and lacking in as much battle detail as the reader may ultimately desire to know. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Chaucer the canterbury talesThere is often a shift in form: ‘The Monk’s Tale’ is written in rhyme royal (a seven-line form), ‘The Friar’s Tale’ is in rhyming couplets and ‘The Parson’s Tale’ is in prose. When the pilgrims begin to tell their stories, however, there is a change of gear. In the links between the tales, the pilgrims bicker and chatter in a way that brings the characters to life. In this way, two narratives are operating at the same time within the work. The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories held together by a framing device (the story of the pilgrimage). What is distinctive about The Canterbury Tales? The result is regarded as a masterpiece of medieval literature, and The Canterbury Tales holds a central place in the English literary canon. To pass the time on the journey, they decide to each tell two tales to the assembled company on the journey there and the journey home. Written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century, The Canterbury Tales tells the story of a group of 31 pilgrims who meet while travelling from the Tabard Inn in Southwark to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury. Still, it was a collective trauma on entire generations of people. The Partition has now become nothing but a repercussion that happened of the Independence the substantial cost of freedom. The history of families, their attachment with their land, community and religion gets lost. These liven the memories of the Independence of India, but somewhere amongst these, the individual stories get lost. Most of the recorded history consists of the speeches, the opinions and the documents of prominent political leaders and British officials. However, it is marred by one of the darkest episodes in human history, a massive exodus of communities on both sides of the border: The Partition. Our memories of the Independence are often happy ones, India finally moved out of the clutches of the British Raj and subsequently became a free nation. Remnants of a Separation is a collection of stories, true stories, in fact, episodes that took place during the Partition in 1947. There are always certain books that you recommend to everyone, and I think I have found one rather beautiful! I will always regard this as Aanchal Malhotra’s magnum opus for she has done such an excellent job that I don’t think she’ll ever be able to surpass the sheer brilliance of this work. For better or for worse, I have become that storyteller – Aanchal Malhotra You extract an object from the past and deposit it where it doesn’t belong and, decades later, it will tell a story. 5/12/2023 0 Comments Jane pride and prejudiceBingly’s uninformed departure make the story complex. But, soon noticed by the people as proud and arrogant, and considered as the most disagreeable man, eaten up with pride. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a friend of Bingley too arrives on the scene, who is even richer with a great estate in Derbyshire. Unfortunately, the three younger sisters Mary, Catherine, and Lydia, often prove to be the hindrance with their inappropriate and unguarded behavior. She hopes that Jane could make anyone fall in love with her beauty and good nature. Charles Bingley, a single man of a large fortune, moves into the neighborhood with his fashionable sisters, Mrs. Thus, she had to deal with the issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. On the contrary, Elizabeth wants to marry only for love. Bennet is worried about marrying her daughters into to wealthy family, especially the elder ones Jane, the beautiful, and Lizzy (Elizabeth), the smartest. She is the second of the five daughters of Mr. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen set in the imaginary country village of Longbourn in Hertfordshire follows the story of Elizabeth Bennet. ‘Spoiler-free’ Summary of Pride and Prejudice 5/12/2023 0 Comments Geek love book reviewAnd in Geek Love’s fun-house mirror, conventional hierarchies of beauty and worth are upended-an alluring inversion for legions of readers to whom the Binewskis are folk heroes. Dunn grafted vaudeville vernacular onto a cool classicism, a prose style at once effortless and extravagant. In championing weirdness over “the horror of normalcy,” the novel became scripture to readers on the margins of the mainstream, attracting such high-profile admirers as Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. It has sold more than 475,000 copies in the United States alone. The epic saga of the Binewskis, a family of circus freaks, and the tragic fate of their traveling sideshow, Geek Love was a finalist for the National Book Award and has since inspired cultish devotion (just Google “ Geek Love tattoos”). For Katherine Dunn, Geek Love (1989) is that novel. Like one jagged peak in a range of well-proportioned hills, the novel towers over the author’s other books and holds them in shadow. S ome novels grow so popular that they overwhelm a writer’s career.

Owner of the Tabard Inn, where the pilgrimage starts. Pilgrims and other travelers RoleĪlthough he writes all of the tales, Chaucer describes himself telling two tales as one of the pilgrims. The pilgrims fall into various groups, the religious group and the military group for example.Īlso there are important pairs, including the tale pairs - which pair are supposed to be telling their tales on the same night. In addition, they can be considered as characters of the framing narrative the Host, who travels with the pilgrims, the Canon, and the fictive Geoffrey Chaucer, the teller of the tale of Sir Thopas (who might be considered distinct from the Chaucerian narrator, who is in turn somewhat divorced from Chaucer the author). All of the descriptions of the pilgrims in the Prologue are narrated through the perspective of the character of Chaucer (which may or may not be the same as that of the author Chaucer). The Pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer are the main characters in the framing narrative of the book. Chaucer does not name himself in the General Prologue, but he is one of the characters who gather at the Tabard Inn. |
