Admittedly, it may have not been easy to balance depth and breadth, especially given the book's aim. Some essays emphasize depth over breadth whereas others stress breadth over depth. The aim of the book is "to make Sartre's broader body of work accessible to a wider audience" (3). There is some overlap among the essays, but that is inevitable given the interconnectedness of Sartre's concepts. Each stands alone even if each of them builds off of the previous essay. The three parts roughly correspond to Sartre's early, middle, and late periods, respectively. The volume is divided into three parts - Part I: Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Literature, Part II: Ontology: Freedom, Authenticity and Self-Creation, and Part III: Ethics and Politics. This is a collection of scrupulously written essays by contemporary Sartre scholars seeking to explain, as the title suggests, Sartre's fundamental concepts.

The Runner by W.J. Davies5/30/2023 His work is also featured in Georgian Poetry, Edward Marsh’s anthology series, and in The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse (1973, edited by Philip Larkin). An introduction to his poetry is included in S elected Poems (1985, chosen for the Oxford Poets series by Jonathan Barker). His 20 collections of poetry include The Soul’s Destroyer and Other Poems (1905), Nature Poems and Others (1908), Foliage (1913), and The Bird of Paradise and Other Poems (1914). In his poems, grounded in realism, Davies often engaged themes of hardship, the natural world, and city life. After a March 1899 train hopping injury that necessitated the amputation of his right leg below the knee, Davies returned to Wales and then settled in London, where he devoted his time to writing poetry. At age 22, with a small inheritance, he boarded a ship to New York and spent the following six years train hopping across the United States and Canada, supporting himself through casual labor and panhandling. He attended school until age 14 and then apprenticed with a picture framer while attending night school. His father died when he was three years old, and after his mother’s subsequent remarriage, Davies was raised by his grandparents. Poet and writer William Henry Davies was born in Newport, Wales.

13 minutes by sarah pinborough5/30/2023 In this she does the latter, really giving the reader a sense of Becca’s insecurity as a young person painfully emerging into adulthood and desperate not to be rejected. But there is a difference between use for sensation, just for the sake of it, or as a tool to immerse the reader in the story. Sex scenes are notoriously very hard to write well, but the author launches into the scenes as vigorously as the protagonists and with enormous credibility and sensitivity. Sarah Pinborough shies away from neither. Young adult writing is also constantly testing boundaries, particularly with regards to the degree to which sexually explicit content and profanities are used. The young adult arena is an interesting and challenging one to write in because young adult readers are discerning audience, demanding both a great deal from a plot and the characters within it. As they work together to find out what happens, the sinister world of intrigue surrounding Natasha’s drowning is slowly revealed. So she elicits the help of a former friend Becca, who is keen to help her because she has never really got over Natasha dumping her and wants to feel again the warmth of their once close bond. After 16-year-old Natasha effectively dies for 13 minutes when she nearly drowns in a river, she has no idea what has happened to her or who was responsible for it.

When Alice meets the Red Queen she gives Alice and the readers a summary of what is going to happen through the rest of the book. The absurdities and irrationalities remain, but the land is set out like a chess board, and the characters Alice meets are players on the board. Unlike Wonderland there is a lot more structure to the world. Through the Looking-Glass takes Alice into another strange land that begins when she walks through the mirror into Looking-glass House. This second Alice book is set a few years after the Wonderland adventures Alice looks older and Dinah has grown and has kittens of her own. I think the problem is Wonderland is much more well known, and the parts that have been borrowed from Looking-Glass are mistaken for being in Wonderland which is a shame. I do not really have any preference between the two, there are favourite moments in both. Since we did Wonderland of course we had to do the sequel. Nothing is quite what it seems once Alice journeys through the looking-glass, and Dodgson’s wit is infectious as he explores concepts of mirror imagery, time running backward, and strategies of chess-all wrapped up in the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unlikely characters.

The moving finger geraldine mcewan5/30/2023 But Miss Marple’s belief that it was a case of murder is confirmed when a second villager is killed, and the spinster sleuth goes on to deduce the real purpose of the letters, revealed the identity of the writer and unmasking the killer.

This time, the vicar’s wife Maud Calthrop (Dilys Hamlett) summons Miss Marple to tackle a plague of vile, spiteful anonymous poison pen letters that are afflicting the previously apparently friendly idyllic English village of Lymstock.

Memory lovecraft5/30/2023 The story may also have been inspired in part by Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Fragments from the Journal of a Solitary Man", in which a man dreams that he is walking down Broadway in a burial shroud, only understanding the shocked reaction of passersby when he sees his reflection in a shop window. In a letter, Lovecraft himself said that, of all his tales, this story most closely resembles the style of his idol Edgar Allan Poe, writing that it "represents my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height." The opening paragraphs echo those of Poe's " Berenice", while the horror at the party recalls the unmasking scene in " The Masque of the Red Death". Its epigraph is from John Keats' 1819 poem " The Eve of St. "The Outsider" combines horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction to create a nightmarish story, containing themes of loneliness, the abhuman, and the afterlife. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales. In this work, a mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. " The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. Cover of collection The Outsider and Others

The tiger's daughter5/30/2023 Her author bio says she’s from Puerto Rico. I don’t know anything about K Arsenault Rivera at all. Here’s the front and back cover (click to embiggen.) You know there was an editor at Tor who thought long and hard before she lifted this 10-pound manuscript out of the slush pile and onto her desk. It’s 526 pages, which is massive for a debut fantasy novel. They thrive on cruelty.Īnyway, The Tiger’s Daughter looks pretty darn nifty. And it involves sticking this super-cool book collectible in a bunch of dirt. I guess there’s only one way to find out. what does it GROW? A geranium? Violets? An alien seed pod like that horrifying episode of Johnny Sokko? It’s instructing me to “Plant flower seed paper under 1/8″ of soil. Check out the cool bookmark that came with my review copy of The Tiger’s Daughter, the debut novel by K Arsenault Rivera!
