WILL STONE is a poet, literary translator andessayist whose published translations include works by Georg Trakl, Gérard de Nerval, Emile Verhaeren, Georges Rodenbach, Rainer Maria Rilke, Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth and Georg Simmel. The younger poet Wilhelm Waiblinger (1804–30) was one of the few people to gain Hölderlin’s confidence, and visited him often this is his beautifully written memoir of the stricken poet, a unique insight into his personality, sensitively translated by Will Stone. But, afflicted by the pressures of life and a doomed love affair, he gradually went mad, and spent the final thirty-six years of his life in a solitary tower in Tübingen, cared for by a kindly carpenter. After a childhood marked by loss and grief, Hölderlin studied theology in the illustrious company of Hegel and Schelling, before concentrating on poetry and writing his most famous work, Hyperion. The white people and the black people lived in separate worlds that seemed to intersect only when absolutely necessary. Of the eighty-eight thousand residents, sixty-six thousand were white, while twenty-two thousand were black. It brought with it many ground rules designed to imprison and control everyone who was not white. By age three, I realized the culture of this small town in the Deep South was such that the color of my skin framed the entire scope of my life. I sensed from the very first moment of consciousness that I was living in a place where I was not welcome. I didn’t know why exactly, but clouds of dread engulfed me every evening when day turned to night. THE FIRST THING I REMEMBER about being a person living in Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1940s is the gut-wrenching fear in my heart and in my tummy that I was in danger.

I Must Betray You is told through the perspective of Cristian he is seventeen, intelligent and has a desire to be a writer.Ĭoming of age during the harsh dictatorship of Ceausescu is harrowing. This novel is less fiction, more history readers are absorbed into the reality of the destitution of the Romanian people. Sepetys’ latest novel, I Must Betray You, is set in Romania during the oppressive communist dictatorship of Nicola and Elena Ceausescu. She is categorized as a ‘crossover’ novelist, valued by both adults and young adults. Her books are written with the intent of giving voice to populations who suffered through cruel totalitarian regimes but are under-represented in historical records. Ruta Sepetys is a celebrated writer of historical fiction and a world-class ambassador for human dignity. Germain weaves together women's narratives to show the women not as victims per se but as individuals with the power to overcome these traumatic experiences. She reframes conversations about sexual violence and student agency on American college campuses by drawing insight directly from the stories of how survivors responded individually to attacks, as well as how and why peers, family members, and school, medical, and civil authorities were (or were not) engaged in addressing the crimes. Germain focuses attention on the post–sexual assault experiences of twenty-six college women. A principal reason for this lack of understanding is that the voices of women who have experienced campus sexual assault have been largely absent from academic discourse about the issue. Despite more than fifty years of anti-rape activism and over two decades of federal legislation regarding campus sexual violence, sexual assault on American college and university campuses remains prevalent, underreported, and poorly understood. Survivors of campus sexual assault share the stories of how they confronted and overcame the trauma of being attacked.Ī 2014 report issued by the White House Council on Women and Girls included the alarming statistic that one in five female college students in the United States experiences some form of campus sexual assault. 6: British Wild Flowers in Their Natural Haunts (Classic Reprint)Arthur Reginald Horwood, Campus Sexual Assault: College Women RespondLauren J. There is in this installment more of the dreaming which links Gray Wing and Stoneteller. (Tall Shadow said, cats are mean out of fear or greed. How fear can be malevolent or compassionate, but is equally destructive whichever strain is used. Along the way the story displays the delusions all manner of person will insist upon, will rely upon, how we see what we expect to see and then align our behaviour such that what we merely thought, in the end comes to pass. Wondering what of this will filter down to R, shape her way of living in the world, after the manner my reading shaped mine.This installment offers (without naming it as such) a comparison of authoritarianism and communitarianism, and shows how close the two are, how similar their origins and the intentions of those pushing for them. I continue to read this series with an anthropological perspective: examining how it presents myths which dissolve unconsciously into a worldview, a conventional understanding of how things work, how things should be. There were no takers for months, until a call out of the blue, and Bryson found himself approaching the challenge with his former travelling companion, Stephen Katz. (All those tales of hikers killed by bears, or murdered by fellow humans.) He advertised for a hiking companion. He started researching, and quickly decided that this was no undertaking to be taken on alone. Inspiration came from the trail itself, which runs very close to his home in Hanover. Which is something that the intrepid Bill Bryson set out to do when in his mid-forties. That way I can kid myself that I, too, have walked (some of) the 2100 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I’ve never bought a paper copy because I’m waiting for someone to publish a special edition complete with pictures of the locations. Time now to introduce you to the best book I’ve never read! Though I have listened to William Roberts’s audio narration 3 times. Shantaram is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear.Īccompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter Bombay’s hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere.Īs a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city’s poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. So begins this epic, mesmerizing first novel set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay. RELATED: Review: Ethan Frome - Edith Wharton |
