With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. The Consolation was extremely popular throughout medieval Europe and his ideas were influential on the thought of Chaucer and Dante.įor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. Her instruction on the nature of fortune and happiness, good and evil, fate and free will, restore his health and bring him to enlightenment. It is a dialogue of alternating prose and verse between the ailing prisoner and his 'nurse' Philosophy. The Consolation was written in the period leading up to his brutal execution. When he became involved in a conspiracy and was imprisoned in Pavia, it was to the Greek philosophers that he turned. Boethius was an eminent public figure under the Gothic emperor Theodoric, and an exceptional Greek scholar. I am now keen to pursue Williams a great deal further. There's overlap in theme and setting (the South, isolation) and that experience was excellent - this would clearly be even better in a decent production. My only other experience with Williams is a production of The Glass Menagerie. That comes as a bit of a shock after previously reading no drama except Ben Jonson this year, where-in you're lucky to get anything beyond entrance and exit instructions. Williams does some things I don't recall ever having seen before he discusses the audience in stage direction and at one point rambles off into philosophising about the purpose of drama and such like. Over-all I think I like the original version more. Then something strange happens - act 3 occurs twice! Williams has included his original draft of act 3 and the performance version, modified in response to the original director. The first act slowly winds up to a very dramatic finish and tensions are racked up higher still in act 2. Here, it's not really what the secrets are that's interesting, it's who the characters are and where the author's sympathies lie. On a sultry summer evening family meets and secrets are revealed.so far, so a zillion other plays. Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. They don’t experience “fear of missing out” because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don’t feel overwhelmed by it. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They’re the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives.ĭigital minimalists are all around us. She brings to life the bitter struggles of the postwar period and shows how the conflict between the two Koreas has continued to evolve to the present, with important and tragic consequences for the region and the world. At the center of this conflict is an ongoing struggle between North and South Korea for the mantle of Korean legitimacy, a "brother’s war," which continues to fuel tensions on the Korean peninsula and the region.ĭrawing from newly available diplomatic archives in China, South Korea, and the former Soviet Union, Jager analyzes top-level military strategy. Her sweeping narrative ranges from the middle of the Second World War―when Korean independence was fiercely debated between Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill―to the present day, as North Korea, with China’s aid, stockpiles nuclear weapons while starving its people. Sheila Miyoshi Jager presents the first comprehensive history of this misunderstood war, one that risks involving the world’s superpowers―again. Sixty years after North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea, the Korean War has not yet ended.

He was also a big proponent of a shared universe and encouraged other authors to expand upon his work if they saw potential. There is the belief that a Necronomicon may have once existed and it was merely translated and published by Lovecraft although this may not be true and a lot of it comes down to Lovecraft himself and how alluring the idea was to others, there is a lot of history and lore surrounding this grimoire, more so than some of Lovecraft’s other work. One of his most universal ideas was the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire that features all sorts of dark rituals, magic, and strange sciences. Lovecraft has influenced countless individuals and we still see this influence today, not only in the cosmic horror genre but in horror itself as well as in all kinds of strange fiction. Lovecraft as a fictional grimoire and was featured in many of his works. The Necronomicon was invented by author H. Though many of the characters were more caricature, Will, Lucy, and David were fairly well developed and worthy of our interest. more s edgy (violence, sexual content, and adult language) yet the authors created a compelling plot- high school students reestablishing social mores in a Lord of the Flies post-apocalyptic world. Review 2: Parents are strongly cautioned. It is an interesting Lord of Flies look at modern teens. It is more risque than the first book and not something I would recommend to young teens. The reader thinks they see what is coming, but.well you will have to read the book to find out. Don't get attached to any character, because you never know how long they will hang around. Can these new kids be trusted?This is a book of the unexpected. How will the Loners left survive? Also, a new group of teens has invaded McKinley High. The Loners lose their stronghold, what with David being dead and many members taken out of the picture. Even with the door open, things don't turn out as expected.
