![]() The Sydney of which it speaks could almost be the Sydney of Patrick White’s Tree of Man. Nonetheless, the book’s atmosphere seems much older. While it spans events across generations, the time in which Matthew, the oldest son and narrator, is typing the story he narrates on the old Remington TW is very recent. It was, a little, and it did, indeed.īridge of Clay was published in October 2018. ![]() When I started reading, I had heard suggestions that the book was hard to follow in its opening chapters but that it got better. So, when, Brett from the Blokes’ Book Club, chose Bridge of Clay as the next read, I knew nothing of the work of Marcus Zusak. Everyone I knew seemed to be reading it at some stage. The bandwagon of The Book Thief passed by close to me. The Book Thief was published in 2005, has been translated into thirty languages and was made into a film in 2013. Marcus Zusak is the author of The Book Thief. ![]()

![]() ![]() Benedict pulls together historical letters between the couple and family and friends accounts to prove Mileva’s contributions to Einstein’s famous papers and theories while they were married. Mileva’s life with Albert starts out with the promise of a bohemian life of scientific study and companionship, but cultural forces and a husband who enjoys and wants the limelight and fame for himself begin to destroy their marriage. She had several strikes against her though the times she lived in, being a female, a physical disability, and being an Eastern European from Serbia. To be admitted to study at university, she had to be a scientific genius in her own right and even more talented than her male counterparts. Mileva “Mitza” Maric was one of the first females to study Physics at the Zurich Polytechnic university in 1896 which is where she met a classmate by the name of Albert Einstein. I was completely captivated by the characters and the in-depth depiction of their lives. ![]() ![]() THE OTHER EINSTEIN by Marie Benedict is a historical fiction story told by Mileva Maric Einstien, the first wife of the famous physicist Albert Einstein. ![]() ![]() For what the writers and directors were attempting, they achieved to an extent. Lovers of gothic romance may be entranced (if unsettled) by the presentation and emotional darkness of the film. As a work of fiction it does reasonably well. That is the weakness of the film: it is largely conjecture. This film presents the despair of such times quite well, drawing the viewer into the potential feelings of the author when writing the book. The climate of England and surrounding areas was one of bigotry, inequality and extreme prejudice. It does so fairly well- to the point of discomfort in how women were viewed and treated in those intellectually stimulating but socially dark times. The Hollywood-ization of this novel is usually lacking all merit of the work, missing the novel's primary question: who was the greater monster- the creature or the doctor? This movie takes great liberties in dramatizing the life of the author prior to her writing the book. It was brilliantly conceived and executed and significantly ahead of its time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Frankenstein is one of the greatest novels ever written. ![]() ![]() ![]() Subtitle The Bad Beginning publisher HarperCollins atos 6.
![]() This book will be of interest not only to students of Old English and all those interested in the history of northern Europe and Anglo-Saxon England, but also admirers of The Lord of the Rings who will be fascinated to see how Tolkien handled a story which he did not invent. The story has the added attraction that it describes the events immediately preceding the first Germanic invasion of Britain which was led by Hengest himself. Tolkien's original and persuasive solution of the many problems raised by the story ranged widely through the early history and legend of the Germanic peoples. Bringing his unique combination of philological erudition and poetic imagination to the task, however, Tolkien revealed a classic tragedy of divided loyalties, of vengeance, blood and death. The story is told in two Old English poems, Beowulf and The Fights at Finnesburg, but told so obscurely and allusively that its interpretation had been a matter of controversy for over 100 years.

His most significant contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies is to be found in his lectures on Finn and Hengest (pronounced Hen-jist), two fifth-century heroes in northern Europe. ![]() Professor J.R.R.Tolkien is most widely known as the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but he was also a distinguished scholar in the field of Mediaeval English language and literature. ![]() Tolkien's famous translations and lectures on the story of two fifth-century heroes in northern Europe. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the two take turns writing, the tale unfolds, connecting both girls to each other, and to the past, in a way they never could have imagined.Ī heartfelt, vividly told multicultural story about fate and how our stories shape it.

Kai writes three words on the first page-and suddenly, they magically appear in Leila's copy on the other side of the planet. In each of their bedrooms, they discover a copy of a blank, old book called The Exquisite Corpse.

Bestseller and author of the popular middle grade series Confectionately Yours Lisa Papademetriou is back with a magical, page-turning adventure for readers of all ages-a touching tale about destiny and the invisible threads that link us all, ultimately, to one another. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's true about almost any area of Western history, though. Those who know more about that particular battle than I do might find a few things to disagree with. Not surprisingly, the Battle of the Little Big Horn plays a major part in the novel, and as far as I can tell, Johnstone presents the action accurately. It also has an epic feel to it as the fictional characters interact with several real ones, including General George Armstrong Custer. Set against a well-drawn background of the Indian Wars in Wyoming and Montana during 1875 and '76, it makes good use of Johnstone's trademark fast pace and exciting action scenes. Originally published by Zebra Books in 1989 and recently reprinted by Pinnacle Books (both imprints of Kensington Books), this is the first novel in a series about blood brothers Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves. Lost City/Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Arriving in a possibly occupied village, Kossov and the volunteers hear about two groups of people needing to be evacuated – some on Chekhov Street and one on Dostoevsky Street. On 22 March, he spends a day with two volunteer drivers, running supplies into the war zone outside Kyiv and extracting civilians. Igor Kossov stands out for the laconic charm of his writing. As the war progresses, the writing becomes more fluent, and the journalism goes more deeply into the experiences of people across Ukraine. Journalism is often called the first draft of history, but the early sections of this book read more like the first drafts of journalism – pieces rushed out at speed, under appalling conditions. Photograph: Kyiv IndependentĪs one reporter, Alexander Query, says, Ukrainian journalists have to “maintain a certain detachment to talk about Ukraine’s war wounds despite the pain, like an amputee who forces their eyes to stay open during the operation”. ![]() Notes from underground: the Kyiv Independent’s editor-in-chief, Olga Rudenko, working in a metro station during an air-raid alert in December 2022. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, before he can avenge his son’s death, Hieronymo decides – much like Hamlet in Shakespeare’s later play – that he needs to prove that the letter was indeed from Bellimperia and that both Balthasar and Lorenzo are indeed guilty of Horatio’s murder. Bellimperia, who witnesses the brutal murder of her lover, sends a letter to Horatio’s father Hieronymo informing him that it was Balthasar and Lorenzo who murdered his son, and Hieronymo vows revenge on the two men. ![]() Bellimperia is Lorenzo’s sister, and she loves Horatio – and this is why poor Horatio is murdered by Balthasar and Lorenzo. Believed to have been written and first performed in around 1587, The Spanish Tragedy tells the story of Hieronymo, marshal of Spain, whose son Horatio is murdered by Balthasar, son of the viceroy of Portugal, and Lorenzo, son of the Duke of Castile, because Balthasar has his eye on Bellimperia. ![]() ![]() ![]() With over two million copies sold, I Too Had a Love Story has captured the hearts of millions of readers, young and old, across all parts of India.
