By 1912, he was the successful manager of a paint factory in Elyria, Ohio, and the father of three children by the first of his four wives. He never finished high school because he had to work to support his family. Anderson thus occupies a place in literary history that cannot be fully explained by the literary quality of his work.Īnderson was born on Sept. These writers included Ernest Hemingway, F. Anderson was a major influence on the generation of American writers who came after him. Although none of his novels was wholly successful, several of his short stories have become classics.

![]() "Juan Ramón Jiménez has given me the following message to convey to you: To read more about this speech visit the Nobel Prize website. Jaime Benitez, Rector of the University of Puerto Rico, read his speech on his behalf. He was not able to attend the banquet ceremony in Stockholm because his wife was ill. ![]() Jimenez was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956. Furthermore, there are countless recordings of recitations by both children and adults as well as language teaching tools that use the story in their lessons. Statues of Platero have been erected in Moguer in honor of the story and Jiménez. It has been translated into more than 100 languages and has been put to music. It is a beloved story, popular in both his homeland, the United States and Latin America. The story is also recognized as an excellent example in comparative literature. The author uses him as a means of reflection about the simple joys of life, memories, and description of characters and their ways of life. The donkey is considered a symbol of tenderness, purity and naivete. Only his eyes are hard, jet black like crystal scarabs. His fur is said to be so soft to the touch that he seems to be made of cotton. ![]() Platero is described as a small, soft, hairy donkey. ![]() Platero y Yo ( Platero and I) tells the story of a man and his donkey, and the life they lead. In 1914, Juan Ramón Jiménez published Platero y Yo, a prose poem about his homeland in Andalusia, Spain. ![]() ![]() ![]() “My Mom is the Chinese one in the family, but she did not believe in gender roles. Growing up, Lamentillo had never been one to conform to gender roles, and that was mostly due to the encouragement of her mother. ![]() She is also the author of Night Owl, which is a book that doubles as a progress report on the Duterte Administration’s infrastructure accomplishments in the last five years. Lamentillo is the former chair of the Build, Build, Build Program under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). One would definitely assume that heading the Build, Build, Build Committee is a man’s job, but the person who holds that title is actually a woman named Anna Mae Yu Lamentillo. Aside from that, Chinoy culture also has the tendency to assign gender to certain professions, with the older generation often being the judge and jury on the kind of job befitting a man or woman. ![]() There’s an ongoing joke in the Chinoy community about how you can only pursue a few specific career paths: business, medicine, engineering, or law, and choosing anything else would land you in filial disappointment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her problems in pregnancy/delivery led her to get bedridden for months and therefore her reading passion to be fulfilled. Starting with the death of her grandmother, who made her wonder about “deeper questions”: what happens to a “love bond”?. This book is about UFO’s, but part of it deals with the life trajectory of Laura since she was pregnant at 32, had no UFO contacts whatsoever, but had some life events I would consider marking ones. Yes, Laura had an “epic curiosity”, as someone said. Back at 7th grade, when 13, she truly was a child prodigy as regards to reading: she managed to read one book per day. She didn’t get a college degree, though, she’s been there for 2 or 3 years. ![]() "Whether it is truly extraterrestrial, a strange psychic manifestation of our own intelligence.a higher reality not yet recognized by science" “HIGH STRANGENESS” IS AN EXPRESSION ATTRIBUTED TO HYNEK*… ![]() ![]() Torin, the hero, is trapped in a prison next to the heroine, Keeleycael – later called Keeley, then Keys, known as the Red Queen for the amount of bloodshed and violence in her past. ![]() The reader is dropped into the middle of the plot. Maybe I got my hopes too high but it didn’t knock me out of the park. I’d heard good reviews for her earlier books in this series so I was eager to read one and I’m sad to say that I was underwhelmed. This is the 11th book in Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series but the first that I’ve read. ![]() His touch could mean her end, but resisting her is the hardest battle he’s ever fought-and the only battle he fears he can’t win. When the powerful beauty with shocking vulnerabilities escapes from a centuries-long imprisonment, the desire that simmers between her and Torin is scorching. ![]() Carnal pleasure is utterly forbidden, and though he has always overcome temptation with an iron will, his control is about to shatter. Torin’s every touch causes sickness and death-and a worldwide plague. ![]() ![]() ![]() This footage is reminiscent of Coppola’s war scenes in Apocalypse Now, but the illusion is immediately shattered as the camera closes in and holds on the face of a murdered cow, blood slowly trickling down from her nostrils. The opening sequence offers a brief thrill which is immediately appropriated: helicopters whir in the air and soldiers shoot down terrified cows in a vast and lush field. ![]() The film’s subtitle, Nine Scenes from the Anti-Imperialistic Self-Defense, reflects Olsson’s investment in making Fanon’s theory relevant and up-to-date. This has often proven to be one of the most violent episodes in post-colonial history, and Fanon is its most articulate philosopher. Olsson’s interest is in decolonisation – that short yet potent moment at the tail end of an anti-colonial war followed by the transfer of power when the new nation comes into being. I had the impression that we were being provided with a visual exegesis on Fanon’s famous, misunderstood, and over-read text about violence, and that the images, in fact, served to bolster, or rather, offer, a kind of choreography to the text. ![]() ![]() Relying yet again on possibly forgotten footage from Swedish archives, the film has been anchored in Martinican psychiatrist and anti-colonial thinker Frantz Fanon’s controversial essay, Concerning Violence, from his 1961 book The Wretched of the Earth. Concerning Violence is a completely different beast. ![]() ![]() Their duty is now to give birth to the heirs society demands and be the meek, submissive queens their men expect.īut when the weight of their husbands’ neglect, cruelty and ambition becomes too heavy to bear, they must push against the constraints of their sex to carve new lives for themselves – and in doing so make waves that will ripple throughout the next three thousand years.ĭaughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood will be published July 22nd with Hodder & Staughton and is described as ‘perfect for readers of Circe and Ariadne, a vivid and illuminating retelling of the Siege of Troy that tells the story of mythology’s most vilified women from their own mouths at long last’ I am absolutely delighted to welcome my own daughter, Katie, as my guest reviewer today sharing her thoughts of Daughters of Sparta, so without further ado… While still only girls they are separated and married off to legendary foreign kings Agamemnon and Menelaos, never to meet again. Such privilege comes at a high price, though, and their destinies are not theirs to command. With their high birth and unrivalled beauty, they are the envy of all of Greece. Īs princesses of Sparta, Helen and Klytemnestra have known nothing but luxury and plenty. ![]() ![]() ![]() For millennia, two women have been blamed for the fall of a mighty civilisation – but now it’s time to hear their side of the story. ![]() ![]() Vaelin has no wish to fight another war, but when he learns that Sherin, the woman he lost long ago, has fallen into the Horde’s grasp, he resolves to confront this powerful new threat. Now whispers have come from across the sea of an army called the Steel Horde, led by a man who believes himself a god. Yet he cast aside his earned glory for a quiet life in the Realm’s northern reaches. It was his leadership that overthrew empires, his blade that won hard-fought battles – and his sacrifice that defeated an evil more terrifying than anything the world had ever seen. Vaelin Al Sorna is a living legend, his name known across the Realm. ![]() The next two books, on the other hand, were not so good but after hearing that The Wolf’s Call was better I pushed through them so I could read the new book. ![]() I very much enjoyed reading Vaelin Al Sorna’s story. ![]() ![]() ![]() Complying With International Discovery Regulations: Leading Lawyers on. ![]() Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Benin, Bermuda, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), Gabon Republic, Gambia, Germany, Ghana, Greenland, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Macau, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, New Zealand, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Suriname, Swaziland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Virgin Islands (U.S. Discoveries: Cleopatra (Discoveries (Harry Abrams))Edith Flamarion. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “This book is a powerful and almost-prophetic statement of the church in America. Grasping her pillow, she pressed it tightly to her mouth so that her sobs would not be heard. Who can I turn to but you, Lord?
