![]() ![]() Limitou-se a pegar numa faca e a delicadamente cortar um pedaço de vida que depois transformou em letras e colou, uma a uma, nas páginas de um livro. Isto deve-se talvez ao facto de a autora, Harper Lee, a derradeira one-hit wonder do mundo literário, não ter muito para contar. É o meu ritmo, que abranda proporcionalmente ao ritmo do enredo, e o enredo neste To Kill a Mocking Bird corre à velocidade de uma tarde de verão embalada por um pardacento baloiçar de uma cadeira de embalar num qualquer alpendre do profundo ruralismo americano. Não me auto-impus este ritmo lento para antecipar uma maior absorvância do que lia, como se faz com o último cubo de chocolate que deixamos pernoitar na nossa boca até à dissolvência total. Alguns, a maioria, de vocês lia-o num fim-de-semana. Um livro como o To Kill a Mocking Bird é, também ele, para ser bebido com vagar, num ruminar quase, individual, de cada capítulo, de cada parágrafo, de cada frase. Um vinho para nos acompanhar durante a vida. O Vinho do Porto, é por definição, um vinho para saborear. Quando se abre uma garrafa de vinho do Porto não se bebe tudo de uma vez. ![]()

![]() Yet those who take the time often emerge committed enthusiasts. ![]() The novel's length – and the complexity of sentences that sometimes sprawl over an entire page – have given it the reputation of a daunting read. The complete work ran to more than a million words, describing in minute detail both the narrator's interior life and the society around him. ![]() In November, 1913, the author paid for publication of Swann's Way himself the novelist André Gide, who was among those who had turned the book down, later told Proust he felt "a burning regret" for having rejected it.īy the time Proust died in 1922, Swann's Way was enshrined as the first, genre-changing instalment in Proust's seven-volume novel, In Search of Lost Time. ![]() One hundred years ago, French publishers were busy rejecting a wordy, novelistic treatise on childhood, memory and society by a Parisian dandy and dilettante named Marcel Proust. ![]() ![]() While there are attacks by a white supremacist group and a murder mystery that is solved at the end of the book, Midnight Crossroad is very much a character piece. ![]() Further down Witch Light Road are several other homes and businesses, including Joe and Chuy's Antique Gallery and Nail Salon, and the Home Cookin restaurant, where the "Midnighters" meet somewhat regularly at one big table for meals. A kind, witchy woman named Fiji Cavanaugh lives across the street, next to the mysterious Reverend's wedding chapel and pet cemetery. Bobo's friends Lemuel, a vampire, and Olivia, who is really something but not a vampire, inhabit the basement apartments below. ![]() Manfred has moved into the rental house next to Midnight Pawn, a shop run by a really nice guy named Bobo Winthrop, who also lives in an apartment above the store.

Sigh, Gone: A Misfit’s Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight To Fit In (Flatiron, April 28) chronicles his family’s escape from Vietnam, their settlement in rural Pennsylvania, and all the chaos that entailed. “I think it was the first time I had felt like I had an invitation to tell my story.” “The feedback from the talk was so affirming, and that planted the seed of ‘I think I want to sit down and write more about my life,’” says Tran, calling from his Maine home. That changed after his TEDx talk on the linguistic differences between English and Vietnamese, “Grammar, Identity, and The Dark Side of the Subjunctive,” attracted a lot of attention-from NPR, from YouTube viewers, and from Asian Americans thrilled to see a bit of their experience in the spotlight. But it never really occurred to the high school Latin teacher and tattooer from Maine to write one of his own. Phuc Tran has loved books as far back as he can remember. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each day we will include a verse to encourage you in your study. Gods Word has the power to change our lives.

This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early 20s, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. Aldous Huxley was born on 26 July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He provided material and ideological aid to anarchists and received their support in return. To summarize, Camus is someone who not only openly supported anarchist-syndicalist organizing, but was excommunicated by the existentialists for criticizing their Marxist tendencies. More context as to the nature of Camus’ relationship with his anarchist contemporaries can be found here. As such, he fits the fellow traveler category and, with his book The Rebel, continues to be a relevant challenge to anarchists today. It may surprise many anarchists that this existentialist philosopher (mostly known for his novel The Stranger) was quite familiar with anarchism and was himself a frequent supporter of anarchists. ![]() In 1951, Albert Camus had already dealt thoroughly with the questions of nihilism, rebellion, revolutionary politics, and anarchism.

Inevitably, if you’re interested in astrobiology and you’re interested in the question of intelligent life elsewhere, it requires a certain degree of self-consciousness about the life with whom we share this planet. It feels to me that this is a moment in the history of science when we are awakening to the other forms of consciousness on this planet, the ways of being alive and of understanding the environment on the part of other life forms on this planet. ![]() This season of Cosmos emphatically deals with that question, as well as some of the more recent developments in science.
