If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be? I can be professional, but if Mitch says “chicks can’t be bodyguards” one more time, I just might strangle him myself. Unfortunately, my boss has given me a choice–guard Mitch or get another job. Yeah, he might be the sexiest champion swimmer in the world, but I’d give this guy a gold medal for being a first-class jerk. MY NAME IS ABI CARTER, and I hate Mitch Hofer. Especially a young hot one who hates my guts. Life or death stuff, so bring in the professionals. Let’s just say there’s a reason my nickname is “The Bulge.” But beyond the fame, sponsors, and glory, there’s more to me than people know, including one hell of a mess I’ve gotten mixed up in. I’m a world-famous swimmer from Australia, best known for three things: my gold medals, my looks, and filling out a swimsuit with my…eh-hem–bulky equipment. Especially hot chicks.” MY NAME IS MITCH HOFER. From New York Times Bestseller, Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, comes a new Romantic Comedy. until the sisters climb a strange ladder in a fireplace and enter the magical land of Arden. But things are back to normal as they move into Windermere Manor. Before I get to my thoughts, here’s the publishers description of the story:Ĭlaire Martinson still worries about her older sister Sophie, who battled a mysterious illness last year. (Shout out to #TeamUnicornMojo!) So the minute I heard about a book that combined three of my favorite story elements (Sisters! Magic! Unicorns!), I requested an advanced reader copy, which I received in exchange for an unbiased review. Those of you who follow me through Pitch Wars know that I have a *bit* of a thing for unicorns. Today we’re celebrating the publication of THE UNICORN QUEST, a middle grade novel that Bloomsbury describes as, “An enchanting, exciting fantasy about a real-world girl searching for her sister in a land full of magic and strange creatures, blending the timeless feel of The Last Unicorn and Wildwood with Frozen‘s powerful themes of identity, enchantment, and sisterhood.” On his arduous journey Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. After his 70 year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision. New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series THE SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Neil Gaiman's seminal series, THE SANDMAN, celebrates its 30th anniversary with an all-new edition of THE SANDMAN VOL. Only their love can help them survive the cruel twists of fate. When they are finally able to relax and be together, her father sends a man to come after her, and Darion finds himself fighting to keep the woman he loves. After being arrested for piracy, as the Crown calls it, they face a cruel prison and transportation to the Colonies. When they find themselves falling in love, Darion admits that he is a Privateer for the Sons of Liberty. When she is attacked and knocked unconscious, however, she never suspects that the man who finds her will mistake her for a harlot.Ĭaptain Darion Bannon is dismayed to discover that the unconscious woman he has taken aboard is actually an innocent lady. She will pretend to be a governess, and hire a ship to take her there. Chloe Adderley is on the run from an unwanted marriage and a father who is far more dangerous than she realizes.Īfter finding herself with an ultimatum that she can't accept- marry the man or starve to death in her room- running to her grandmother's house in Italy seems the only thing to do. She sees hope as a definite character of the human soul. She tries to express her thoughts by using parallel images and analogy. She goes ahead to throw more light about this by using several metaphors, imagery and other literary devices.Īctually, the poem portrays Dickinson’s inner suffering and struggle about life. This is clearly decoded from the title of the poem "Hope is the Thing with feathers". The poet uses several literary techniques such as imagery, hyperbole, and metaphors to express her message.Įmily Dickinson defines hope as being like the free spirit of a bird. There’s also a unique rhyme scheme in the poems. Most of the Emily’s poems have the same format. The poem is also characterized by long dashes which signify pauses and breaks. It has an iambic trimeter format which usually expands to include a 4th stress at the end of a line. The poem Hope is the Thing with feathers is written in 3 stanzas with each of them having 4 lines. She lived a private life all through her adult stage having been trained in a very strict home. She was not well known all through her lifetime. She actually wrote up to 2000 short poems all through the 19th century but only got 7 of them published. "Hope is the Thing with feathers" is a thought-provoking poem written by the American poet Emily Dickinson. She goes on bad dates with new friends, spends weeks in Los Angeles taking meetings with "tv executives slash amateur astrologers" while being a "cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person," "with neck pain and no cartilage in knees," who still hides past due bills under her pillow. This is the bourgeois life of a Hallmark Channel dream. She has left her job as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, has published successful books and has been friendzoned by Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved into a house with a garden that requires repairs and know-how with her wife in a Blue town in the middle of a Red state where she now hosts book clubs and makes mason jar salads. Irby is forty, and increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin despite what Inspirational Instagram Infographics have promised her. “Stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny.” -Jia Tolentino, New York Times bestselling author of Trick Mirror A rip-roaring, edgy and unabashedly raunchy new collection of hilarious essays from the New York Times bestselling author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction Award Winner. Webster & Co, he “was actively involved in marketing of his books, he paid attention to the cost of production and to the illustrations, making sure the final product would be appealing, or at least intriguing, to the public” (id.). Clemens had sold all of his books by subscription (Friedman, 2004, p. Because Grant and Clemens were involved in Memoirs, there is a wealth of information regarding the creation of Memoirs scattered throughout the histories of both 19 th century American luminaries.Īs part of Clemens’s sales pitch to Grant, he promised that Memoirs would be sold by subscription. Memoirs are an excellent example of how a 19 th century book went from conception by the author and publisher to enjoyment by the reader. It was the job of the 19 th century publisher to contract with an author to write the book, to arrange for a printer and bindery and, finally to market and sell the book. His relationship to his native land is, in a very important and fundamental sense, ambivalent. For Dürrenmatt, Switzerland and things Swiss have a very specific significance and one that he universalizes in much of his dramatic writing. Therefore, before considering the dramaturgical views and the political and philosophical substance that underlie Dürrenmatt's dramatic works, let us first take a brief look at the man himself and the environment that nurtured his outlook on the world.ĭürrenmatt was born in 1921 in Konolfingen, a small town about thirteen miles from Bern in Switzerland. In doing this it is also important to bear in mind that Dürrenmatt's dramatic oeuvre is only a part of his creative work, which includes fiction, political writings, philosophy, and-importantly though little known outside of Switzerland-a very considerable output of works in the visual arts. That he has been largely neglected in the English-speaking world in recent years (except for productions of The Visit) reflects a regrettable insularity on the part of the theatrical world of the United States in particular, the redress of which is one of the aims of this volume. Northcottįriedrich Dürrenmatt is arguably one of the most important European dramatists to write since the Second World War. Dürrenmatt’s Drama Introduction by Kenneth J. "A penetrating and persuasive writer with an astonishing array of documentation to implement his attacks." -The Catholic Journalist Written with lucid and compelling style, this book goes beyond truncated modes of thought, inviting us to entertain iconoclastic views, and to ask why things are as they are. He affirms the relevance of taboo ideologies like Marxism, demonstrating the importance of class analysis in understanding political realities and dealing with the ongoing collision between ecology and global corporatism. He also maps out the external and internal forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free-market" victory on eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. These terms are often bandied about, but seldom explored in the original and exciting way that has become Michael Parenti's trademark. A bold and entertaining exploration of the epic struggles of yesterday and today.īlackshirts & Reds explores some of the big issues of our time: fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. |
