The vampyre 18196/28/2023 At the Villa Diodati, a house Byron rented by Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the pair met with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, and her husband-to-be, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and their companion (Mary's stepsister) Claire Clairmont. Polidori entered Lord Byron's service as his personal physician, and accompanied Byron on a trip through Europe. He was one of the earliest pupils at recently established Ampleforth College from 1804, and in 1810 went up to the University of Edinburgh, where he wrote a thesis on sleepwalking and received his degree as a doctor of medicine on 1 August 1815 at the age of 19. Polidori was the oldest son of Gaetano Polidori, an Italian political émigré scholar, and Anna Maria Pierce, a governess. John William Polidori was an Italian English physician and writer, known for his associations with the Romantic movement and credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre of fantasy fiction.

ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Specially commissioned for the World's Classics, this new translation includes a full editorial apparatus. The Gambler (1866), set in the fictional town of Roulettenberg, explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of the author's own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. A probing, speculative book, often regarded as a forerunner of the Existentialist movement, it examines the important political and philosophical questions that were current in Russia and Europe at the time. Notes from the Underground (1864) is one of the most profound works of nineteenth-century literature. Lvov Ghetto Diary by David Kahane6/27/2023 From early on, as we know, the persecutors uprooted Jewish communities and deprived them of basic physical and cultural necessities. The upheaval of the Holocaust, which destroyed much of European Jewry between the years 56 (1939-1945), also wreaked havoc on Jewish timekeeping. The Jewish calendar, marking Shabbat, chagim and Rosh Chodesh, is clearly one of the institutions at the heart of Jewish life and survival. If it wouldn’t be for Hillel, literally we would be out of business we wouldn’t have a Yiddishkeit.īecause we can’t have a Yiddishkeit without a calendar, and we can’t have a calendar without a Sanhedrin. Speaking passionately about the shift to a fixed calendar brought about by Roman persecution some 1,700 years ago, Rabbi Yissocher Frand, senior lecturer at Ner Israel Rabbinical College, details what was at stake: The threat to the calendar and the concomitant threat to Jewish life is nothing new in Jewish history. Courtesy of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Yehoshua Neuwirth, with the assistance of Dr. Digitally adjusted image of the calendar Rabbi Yehoshua Neuwirth, author of Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata, created when he was seventeen years old while hiding in a bunker in Amsterdam during the war years. The lathe of6/27/2023 There’s no description of Haber until Orr mentions his hair color and built briefly at the very end.Ĭhapter 3 - There are multiple descriptions of Haber in the first few pages. For example:Ĭhapter 1 - We meet Orr but no description him is provided.Ĭhapter 2 - We meet Haber and get multiple descriptions of Orr from Haber’s view, including his “beautiful eyes”, the description which even takes Haber aback with the unusual openness of it. Apologies up front, but this is mostly stream of consciousness, edited.ĭescriptions seem to only exist in this book when Orr thinks about them. These reviews mainly exist to jog my memory without truly spoiling me, but this book is in the experience, not so much in the events. (Never trust a man bearing magical trinkets, even if they’re technology.) The main character, George Orr ( well?) dreams, and reality changes to match his subconscious.īecause of this, it’s kind of impossible to talk about this book without spoiling it. The Lathe of Heaven is essentially a scifi version of The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. The subconscious is a terrible judge of things. ("But"-my quiet anxiety wonders-"would I?") This would be awesome, but if my subconscious was in control that would be horrible. Let me run back and do the last eight years again. Is there anyone that doesn’t want a do-over on parts of their life? Call it a mulligan. Books similar to the 48 laws of power6/26/2023 We all know him as the inventor of the light-bulb as well as hundreds of other inventions. One of the greatest inventors in history actually mastered this rule and benefited greatly from it. Make other people do your work for you and then take all the credit He also indicates that saying less than you know intimidates your listeners. This is so that you can avoid ruining your reputation and also avoid the mistake of revealing too much. He indicates that the goal should be to make your point in as few words as possible. In this rule, Robert encourages readers to stay brief when speaking about anything. The Machiavellian leader is quoted as having said it is a good thing to trust people but distrusting them is better. The writer quotes Benito Mussolini in this matter. This is because they will have something to prove, excel in their work and improve your organization overall. In addition to that, the book teaches that you should place your enemies in positions where they have some influence around you. In addition to that, you should not mix up friendship and your work for it is a sure recipe for disaster. Robert indicates that you should not trust your friends too much, no matter how tempting it may be. It should only be shared with the closest people around you. Don’t trust your friends too much and discover how to use your enemies The iron tree by cecilia dart thornton6/26/2023 But neither realises how closely linked their fates-and their past-really are.

The lost world arthur6/26/2023 The reason being firstly to rescue an explorer who has been lost on the plateau and because of his journal that shows sketches of dinosaurs. The plot involves a team of adventures, professors and scientists (and the obligatory female) that venture deep into Venezuela to a large plateau. This being the first time I have seen the film I was surprised at the fact its basically the very first King Kong film. And it was the first film to show animated models as the main feature within a film, or the main special effect.welcome to the lost world. It was the first dinosaur based fantasy film which inevitably led to more monster/dino movies, the spark that lit the fuse as it were. How many firsts can one film have? this historic movie is the first adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name. |
