Tracing her slow but steady progress from notions of ideal love to love’s treachery, Exemplary Tales of Love and Tales of Disillusion will restore Zayas to her rightful place in modern letters. This edition updates the scholarship since the most recent English translations, with a new introduction to Zayas’s entire body of stories, and restores Zayas’s author’s note and prologue, omitted from previous English-language editions. Exemplary Tales of Love and Tales of Disillusion gathers a representative sample of seven stories, which features Zayas’s signature topics-gender equality and domestic violence-written in an impassioned tone overlaid with conservative Counter-Reformation ideology. But by the end of the nineteenth century, Zayas had been excluded from the Spanish literary canon because of her gender and the sociopolitical changes that swept Spain and Europe. At the height of María de Zayas’s popularity in the mid-eighteenth century, the number of editions in print of her work was exceeded only by the novels of Cervantes.

Renowned Jack Kornfield has this to say about Oxenhandler's new title, "Do you want to know how wishes come true? Then read The Wishing Year. She has taught in the graduate writing program at Sarah Lawrence College and is a member of the creative writing faculty at Sonoma State University in California. Oxenhandler is the author of two books, A Grief Out of Season and The Eros of Parenthood and her writing has appeared in many publications including the New Yorker, New York Times Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, Vogue, and O: The Oprah Magazine. She traces the history of wishing from myth and magic to modern day beliefs, and she candidly asks herself to understand what her wishes in life really are. This smart, often hilarious, year-long memoir chronicles Noelle's attempts to make three wishes come true: to own a home, find a boyfriend, and heal her soul after a time when she felt detached from community. The Wishing Year Touted as the next Eat, Pray, Love this book is a captivating and touching read.

They've created a whole new plot about who slept with Grendel's mother, which feels clunky. I never had the sense of his enormous and terrifying strength. He is imagined as a pathetic creature - you feel as if he's being eaten from the inside by maggots. The monster, Grendel, is also rather diminished here. The minute he starts lying, he becomes less interesting. He becomes vulnerable and flawed, and he loses much of his nobility. The film changes the very nature of its hero. It's a brave, extraordinary thing, and I was entranced by the spectacle, but I'm afraid it left me cold in a way that the poem - an account of a mythical hero's battle with a terrifying monster - does not. I think it's wonderful that a 3D, computer-generated version of an epic poem set in sixth-century Denmark was made at all. A s someone who spends his life telling stories for children, I can't be sniffy about adapting Beowulf. Though over 500 pages, it covers a vast field and is necessarily hurried. It has the strengths and the weaknesses of the genre. His book is thus in the tradition of John Gunther and Anthony Sampson: that is, a highly readable mixture of facts, statistics, brief personal profiles, interviews and vignettes. What he is attempting here is a world- wide anatomy of the present Jewish dispersal, a demographic guide to Jewish communities scattered over six continents. He has written a study of modern Jewish history and three books on Israel itself, as well as other works on the Middle East. Professor Howard Sachar of George Washington University is one of the most learned and vivid writers on the situation of contemporary Jewry. TO ALL JEWS, and to anyone interested in the Jews, this can fairly be termed an indispensable book, because there is no other like it.

Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war on the horizon. Ha, only joking! Actually it's gone all wrong. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: we saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves of the world. So much for my great-grandmother's prophecy of doom and destruction. I'm out, we're all out-and I didn't even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. But it's all we dream about, the hideously slim chance we'll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.Īnd now the impossible dream has come true. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out. Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate. She pretty much became the laughing stock of the whole town. Making things worse, he broke up with her in front of the entire school. When she learned he was spreading these vicious rumors about her, after she’d refused to sleep with him, she was quite surprised. Her junior year of high school she gave her heart to Corey Winchester, a cocky, handsome, and total gentleman. Guess that is what ya get when everybody believes you have slept with the entire football team and then some. Or at the very least that is what everybody calls her. “Bittersweet Revenge” is the first novel in the “Bittersweet” series and was released in 2014. Before you know it, the entire book is written. She’ll just get this tiny glimpse from some scene in the novel and she’ll suddenly find herself sitting down and typing, and typing. It typically comes too when they realize your not only focused on them anymore. Reading also helps her with her writers’ block. It her at that point that her obsession with reading blended into writing as well. She is a mom (of both pups and kids), a wife, and an introvert.īeck first realized that she wanted to write when she was in college writing papers for her business course and would write 25 pages instead of just ten. When she’s not writing she can be found sitting with a cup of coffee, in some comfy chair, with a book in hand. She is a USA Today and international Bestseller. The artist's thematic and stylistic leitmotifs are highlighted, including self-portraiture, urban scenes, landscapes, couples, and the artist and his model. It also examines work in specific media, such as Munch's seminal contributions to printmaking. Featuring contributions by leading scholars in the field, including Patricia Bermann, Alison Chang, Jay Clarke, Reinhold Heller, Jill Lloyd, Nils Ohlsen, and Oystein Uvstedt, this authoritative and beautifully illustrated book explores Munch's impact on Austrian and German artists of the period within an Expressionist context. Although much has been written about Munch's life and its influence on his art, there has not been a study of the artist's influence on his German and Austrian peers-until now. His resulting work incorporated the vivid colors of previous styles, but intensified their emotional power and paved the way for an entirely new approach to painting. But in his own art, Munch explored darker themes-alienation, sin, and human vulnerability. Edvard Munch came of age during an artistic period that celebrated beauty and design. |
