These twinned masterpieces dance together across time and space, forecasting the future of romanticism as modernist thought took over Paris.ĭebussy composed his only string quartet just ten years earlier, also at the same stage of life. The cherished "Letters to a Young Poet" of Rainer Maria Rilke come together with Ravel and Debussy’s string quartets in an inventive union of music and text.ĭirected by Bill Barclay, with Ravel and Debussy's string quartets performed by the Brodsky Quartet, this concert-theatre work explores poet Rilke’s famous letters to the “young poet” Franz Kappus, as well as the letters of the young poet himself (remarkably, Franz’s half of the exchange has only come to light in recent years).īoth born in 1875, Rilke and Ravel each wrote their iconic works in Paris at the age of 28, at the same time, and just a few streets apart. ![]() Letters from santa tolkien6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Mark Twain famously wrote a letter from “Santa Claus” to his elder daughter, Susie Clemens. Tolkien was not the first author to produce letters from Father Christmas for his children. In 2018, the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford will exhibit the letters, alongside other manuscripts, artwork, maps, letters and artefacts from Tolkien collections around the world. It would be written in his spidery hand (he would, after all, be a very old man) and illustrated with funny scenes from life in the North Pole. So inevitably, his family traditions were something rather special.Įvery year, from 1920 to 1942, the Tolkien children – first John, and later Michael, Christopher and Priscilla – would receive a letter from Father Christmas. Yet this was a man whose rich imagination brought to life an entire world with thousands of years of legendary history described different orders of creatures, wars and battles even invented languages. ![]() Tolkien dedicated considerable time and effort to making Christmas a joyful time for his young children. ![]() Dragonsdawn by Anne McCaffrey6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern (1983) and Nerilka's Story (1985), Anne McCaffrey had featured a plague that decimates humans and apparently passes among mammals. The people of Pern have regressed since its settlement by colonists from Earth and have already lost the knowledge and equipment to handle such a bio-medical crisis. Plot overview Īll of Todd's novels are set just before or at the beginning of the "Third Pass", about 500 years after human settlement on Pern (500 AL, "After Landing") and 2000 years before the "Ninth Pass" events chronicled in most of Anne McCaffrey's Pern books.ĭragonsblood features an epidemic that strikes fire-lizards, probably first, and dragons (reptiloids). During the next few years, the McCaffreys co-wrote two sequels to their Dragon's Kin and Todd completed two sequels to his Dragonsblood. Although set only a decade later, Dragonsblood is not a sequel. Todd's solo contribution followed two years after the first published collaboration between mother and son, Dragon's Kin. Published in 2005, this was the first with Todd as sole author and the nineteenth in the series. Dragonsblood is a science fiction novel by Todd McCaffrey in the Dragonriders of Pern series that his mother Anne McCaffrey initiated in 1967. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She follows Camus to France, and, making deft use of his diaries and letters, re-creates his lonely struggle with the novel in Montmartre, where he finally hit upon the unforgettable first-person voice that enabled him to break through and complete The Stranger. The murder trials he attended, Kaplan shows, would be a major influence on the development and themes of The Stranger. Born in poverty in colonial Algeria, Camus started out as a journalist covering the criminal courts. ![]() ![]() In the process, she reveals Camus’s achievement to have been even more impressive-and more unlikely-than even his most devoted readers knew. How did a young man in his twenties who had never written a novel turn out a masterpiece that still grips readers more than seventy years later? With Looking for “The Stranger”, Alice Kaplan tells that story. If the twentieth century produced a novel that could be called ubiquitous, The Stranger is it. It’s the rare novel that’s as at likely to be found in a teen’s backpack as in a graduate philosophy seminar. Since its publication in France in 1942, Camus’s novel has been translated into sixty languages and sold more than six million copies. The Stranger is a rite of passage for readers around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Staying with the reader long after they’ve put the book down, her protagonists really stay with her audience for a long time, leaving an impression.

Das macht die Lektüre wunderbar leicht und fast interaktiv, inklusive etwaigem Lerneffekt und Selbstreflexion. Diese können in jeglicher Reihenfolge genossen werden und bieten zu jeden Projekt (also zu jedem Leitsatz) eine Bilderserie und erklärende Texte. "Things I have learned in my life so far" ist passend zur Thematik auch kein durchgehendes Buch, sondern ein Schuber mit einzelnen Broschüren. Von kleinen grafischen Arbeiten bis zu größenwahnsinnigen Affen aus Plastik und Videos voller Gesetzesüberschreitungen findet man hier alles. Denn die hier publizierten Werke sind keine konkreten Auftragsarbeiten, sondern visuelle Darstellungen eigener Leitsätze. Umso interessanter ist es darum, mit "Things I have learned in my life so far" direkten Einblick in das Denken und persönliche Schaffen des Künstlers zu erhalten. Ja, Stefan Sagmeister ist als Grafiker und Designer nicht leise - viel eher drückt sein Ego bei den Arbeiten immer wieder durch. ![]() A christmas promise by mary balogh6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The Proposal (Survivors Club Series 1) by Mary Balogh.

So she’s starting high school not only friendless, but with people actually knocking her books out of her arms in the hallway. I don’t want to give away too much, but I’m going to have to tell you more than what’s on the back cover because that is very vague which is all well and good, but don’t read on if you are very very anti-spoiler.Īt the start of the book, everybody in Mena’s group of friends, who all happen to be from her church, hates her for doing the right thing in a situation where that meant going against what her friends did. Including this book, of which I intended to read a chapter of before going to bed but ended up reading the whole thing. My mind is too busy, with various things, to sleep. I was going to wait and blog about this one tomorrow, but I couldn’t sleep (yes, I’m still up at 5:30 AM), so forgive me for any fuzziness/mistakes in this post, as I haven’t slept since yesterday. ![]() |
