![]() ![]() He continued to write on mathematical topics and completed the first volume of his Symbolic Logic. But in 1882, he was made Curator of the Common Room and was persuaded to remain there until 1892. His most famous mathematical work, Euclid and His Modern Rivals, had been published the year before, and in 1881, he proposed to resign his academic post so that he could give full time to writing and pursuing mathematical studies. After the death of his deeply religious father in 1868, Carroll was able to propose a one-third cut in his salary as a mathematical lecturer. The success of Alice (1865) enabled Carroll to forego his activities as a deacon. One may look for Freudian or Jungian interpretations if one chooses to do so, but in the final analysis, the story functions as comedy, with dialogue used largely for Carroll to play on words, mixing fantasy with burlesque actions. The story was in no sense intended to be didactic its only purpose was to entertain. Alice was the work of a mathematician and logician who wrote as both a humorist and as a limerist. ![]()

This strongly argued feminist case against pornography stirred tremendous controversy when first published in 1979, and has lost none of its bite during its several years out of print. Dworkin believed pornography encouraged violence against women. ![]() ![]() However, there are some VERY good twists in the book with at least three characters hiding their wolflike personalities in sheep’s clothing which delivers some good sucker punches. The dialogue is a mixed bag to with some feeling unnatural and inauthentic. ![]() This is deployed throughout and whilst you do get some juicy revelations it is a bit disjointed. The unlikely character of Peyk, a sort of handyman, turns out to be the only one who sees people and events as they really are and it transpires he’s a bit of a weed assisted philosopher! Throughout the book for the main characters you get a chunk of the present day and then some backstory from a year or so ago. There are some interesting ones with intriguing backgrounds and considering there are so many the author does a good job at giving insights into them. ![]() Every single one of them is faking in in some way shape or form, most are running or hiding from something which is often huge.įirst of all, there’s no getting away from the fact there are a lot of characters to get your head around and it takes a while to familiarise yourself with them.

Was Richard III really as bad as Shakespeare portrayed him? Valuable fun for tweens. ![]() Haddix conveys quite a bit of real history painlessly to her target audience and even mixes in some physics. Although pre-adolescent squabbles and tantrums abound, often to the level of annoyance, Jonah and friends show spunk and improvisational skills. Fortunately the kids understand Middle English and can become invisible, but that doesn’t prevent them from interfering with history, whatever its true path.

Keira had some growing up to do, and some hard facts to face about herself and their life together. He did the work, and just wanted the best for everyone. I loved how Storm was so steady, calm and honest. I had so high hopes for Storm, and it delivered on every level. I think this is the best redemption story I’ve ever read. In the previous books we got small glimpses and hints that the cheating while they were toghether wasn’t what it seemed, and honestly – no one can blame him, or her, for what they did after they seperated. Maybe because they seemed so broken, and despite everything they clearly belonged toghether. But there was just something about Storm and Keira that made me want their story anyway. Cheating is one of my biggest triggers, and normally I refuse to read books with that in it. This is the story I’ve been waiting for from the very beginning. ![]() ![]() ![]() This means no posting, linking, or recommending your own content, or any content produced by a person or company you're affiliated with.

Even though it’s just a short comedy video, in what way is this Kafkaesque? Do the jokes reference the casual, vernacular conception of the Kafkaesque? Or does it touch the essence of Kafka’s worldview? What about this recent story by the New York Times, about a Muslim community and its attempts to obtain permits to construct a mosque? While it is certainly a difficult and frustrating situation, is it accurate to describe the process as Kafkaesque? Why or why not? In what ways is his definition different from the definition offered by this lesson? In what ways is it similar? The interview also provides some more context about Kafka’s life and background.įor a lighter Kafka experience, watch this news parody by The Onion, entitled “Prague’s Kafka International Named Most Alienating Airport”.
