![]() ![]() He immediately recognises that Ella is not who she used to be, and makes it his mission to uncover the girl he loves and bring her back to him. But the past has a way of coming back, and when she returns to her home town during her summer vacation, she is immediately confronted with Micha – her best friend since childhood, and the man who loves her and has spent eight months searching for her (and who just happens to live next door). ![]() The prologue to this book left me shocked with its emotional intensity, and I was instantly drawn into the hard, and somewhat sad, world of these characters.Įlla ran away from her real life eight months ago, leaving everybody and everything behind to reinvent herself in an effort to forget about the traumas in her life. Tortured and lost Ella, and gorgeously loyal Micha. This is our intro to two amazing characters.

This poem is perhaps the best example of this theme in Angelou’s poetry. Another important strand to her work is work itself: a focus on the daily menial tasks which many wives and mothers have to carry out around the home as part of their domestic duties. ![]() Many of Maya Angelou’s best-known poems focus on the plight of women, and specifically Black women. Yet Angelou tells us that the girl in the poem is ‘blameless’, inviting us to read the poem as about ‘mothers’ and ‘daughters’ in a wider sense: it is about the generational shift between African-American women of Angelou’s mother’s age, and those of Angelou’s own generation. ![]() ![]() The subject of the poem is a girl who goes home to her mother’s arms, afraid and ‘creeping’ because she fears she is in trouble. The poem concludes with the image of an insistent drumbeat which marks the rhythm of social change which the speaker and others involved in civil rights have established. ![]() ![]() In Confessions of a Prayer Wimp, you'll come to understand that faith is less about what you are or do or say, and more about who God is-someone who loves you no matter what you do.

His alcoholic and cruel father, who may not have been been his biological father, introduced young Stalin to violence early on, but instilled within him a self-sufficiency and instinct for survival. Although childhoods in the biographies of great people can be the dullest sections of the book, Montefiore paints a vivid picture of Stalin’s formative years. This insight creates the idea in the reader’s mind of a man who never paid much attention to laws or authority. The author’s telling of the events comprising Stalin’s life from his birth in 1878 to his rise to influence among the Bolshevik revolutionaries opens with a teasing prologue detailing Stalin’s role in a notorious bank robbery. ‘Young Stalin’ tells the story of Stalin’s early life, from his provincial and humble beginnings in Georgia, a southern outpost of the Russian Empire, to the moment when he seized real political power during the October Revolution of 1917, when he was in his late thirties. ![]() ![]() Simon Sebag Montefiore’s celebrated biography, which was first published in 2008, is being reprinted in paperback. Such an intriguing and eventful personal history has ensured that he is prime subject matter for historians. Whatever else anyone might say against Joseph Stalin, the most notorious tyrant of the Twentieth Century, nobody can accuse him of having lived a dull or conventional life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Together they will fight and suffer for an age of the world, for the things that the world always needs and which never last. And he will see her for what she is: the greatest warrior of her day. She will see him for what he is: the greatest hope the country has. Thus begins her story-a story that takes her back to her family, with its ancient ties to the Vincan empire that once ruled in Tir Tanagiri, and forward to Caer Tanaga, where the greatest man of his time, King Urdo, struggles to bind together the squabbling nobles and petty princes into a unified force that will drive out the barbarian invader and restore the King’s Peace. As it was, it took six of them to subdue her. Had she been armed when they found her, she could have taken them all. Sulien ap Gwien was seventeen when the Jarnish raiders came. ![]() ![]() ![]() Essentially, he says, art is not a search for “beauty”,-nor any other abstraction,-but an instrument that enables the artist to transmit that which extrapolates the rational argument, to transmit personal feelings experienced by the author. ![]() And the master, without evasions, carries out the consequences of this proposition, judging the various aesthetic theories over time and citing numerous artists as examples of great, bad, true, and false art. To Tolstoy, the work of art is a means of transmitting feelings, that is to say: regardless of the qualitative character of the feeling expressed,-which can be good, bad, strong, weak…-the artistic work fulfills its role as long as this feeling communicated by the artist is experienced by those who come in contact with it. Very interesting essay, as always, in the case of this plume. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paxson later expanded the book into the Avalon series. ![]() The novel was a best-seller upon its publication and remains popular to this day. The story is told in four large parts: "Book One: Mistress of Magic", "Book Two: The High Queen", "Book Three: The King Stag", and "Book Four: The Prisoner in the Oak". In this case, Morgaine is presented as a woman with unique gifts and responsibilities at a time of enormous political and spiritual upheaval who is called upon to defend her indigenous heritage against impossible odds. The Mists of Avalon is in stark contrast to most other retellings of the Arthurian tales, which consistently cast Morgan le Fay as a distant, one-dimensional evil sorceress, with little or no explanation given for her antagonism to the Round Table. The epic is focused on the lives of Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar ( Guinevere), Viviane, Morgause, Igraine and other women of the Arthurian legend. ![]() The book follows the trajectory of Morgaine ( Morgan le Fay), a priestess fighting to save her Celtic religion in a country where Christianity threatens to destroy the pagan way of life. The Mists of Avalon is a 1983 historical fantasy novel by American writer Marion Zimmer Bradley, in which the author relates the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters. ![]() ![]() Upon their publication in this collection, Asimov wrote a framing sequence presenting the stories as Calvin's reminiscences during an interview with her about her life's work, chiefly concerned with aberrant behaviour of robots and the use of " robopsychology" to sort out what is happening in their positronic brain. ![]() Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., the major manufacturer of robots. ![]() Several of the stories feature the character of Dr. Although the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots, and morality, and when combined they tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics.

The stories are woven together by a framing narrative in which the fictional Dr. The stories originally appeared in the American magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science Fiction between 19 and were then collected into a 1950 publication Gnome Press in 1950, in an initial edition of 5,000 copies.
