Melissa muller anne frank6/21/2023 Including a Note by Miep Gies, who hid the Frank family for two years, this is an indispensable volume for all those who seek a deeper, richer understanding of Anne Frank and the brutal times in which she lived and died. Full of revelations, this richly textured biography casts new light on Anne's relations with her mother, whom she treats harshly in the diary, and examines the enduring mystery: who betrayed the families hiding in the annex just when liberation was at hand? Muller traces Frank's life from an idyllic childhood in an assimilated family, well-established in Frankfurt banking circles, to her passionate adolescence in German-occupied Amsterdam and her desperate end in Bergen Belsen at the age of fifteen. This is the flesh-and-blood Anne Frank, unsentimentalised and so all the more affecting - Anne Frank restored to history. Drawing on exclusive interviews with family and friends, on previously unavailable correspondence and on documents long kept secret, Melissa Muller creates a subtle portrait of her famous subject. Here, after five decades, is the first biography of this remarkable figure. Her diary of twenty-five months in hiding, a precious record of her family's struggle to keep hope alive through the darkest days of this century, has touched the hearts of millions. Host Bob Edwards talks to Melissa Muller about her new book, 'Anne Frank: the Biography.' Muller says Anne Frank actually wrote two diaries, the second an edited version of the first. For people all over the world, Anne Frank, the vivacious, intelligent Jewish girl with a crooked smile and huge dark eyes, has become the "human face of the Holocaust".

They have other names, though – orphan, widow – because that is what they all are. A group of scientists brings together our six Silvers: insecure teenager Mia, golden boy David, alcoholic Theo, zany cartoonist Zack and two sisters, the Givens, Amanda the nurse and Hannah the actress. On this Earth taxis can fly, food can be rejuvenated, the ghosts of the past can be brought back to life. These are the Silvers, people who find themselves on a different Earth – similar in some ways and yet so alien in others. In the last moments before the end, six individuals are visited by strangers who slap silver bracelets on their wrists, encasing them in a protective bubble or egg, safe to experience the death of the world. This time a white light brings the heavens down on Earth, literally squeezing the ground to the sky, ending life on the planet, ending the planet itself. The next day, the power goes off again but this time not to return. One night all the power of the Earth turns off for a full nine minutes, stopping clocks dead, turning off lights and smashing down to the ground every last plane in the skies.

Imagine my surprise that I am still alive. I read the book’s synopsis and was so sure I would be bored to death. Recommended to be read in the chronological order declared by the author, Ancient Egypt is a historical fiction that has one single man become the voice of the whole country. Ancient Egypt Series contains a large cast ensemble, with Tatia, a warlock, as the protagonist. However, Tanus is ready to defy them to attain the reward they have forbidden him, an object more prized than battle’s glory: possession of the Lady Lostris. Books in it: #1 River God, #2 The Seventh Scroll, #3 Warlock, #4 The Quest, #5 Desert God, #6 Pharaoh, #7 New Kingdomįor Tanus, the fair-haired young lion of a warrior, the gods have decreed that he will lead Egypt’s army in a bold attempt to reunite the Kingdom’s shared halves. The switch from Eragon being viewed as a boy to be manipulated to a man of renown takes place during a single battle when he defeats a shade. We spend so much time debating proper course of action etc., but not a whole lot happens in the first couple of books, and yet it is in these books that the reputations of Eragon and his cousin (in particular) are made. Perhaps I took more time the first time around, or perhaps I have just been reading too much Robert Jordan in the mean time, but I feel like the books move way too fast in terms of character making. When I read that Inheritance was coming out I decided to reread the series and found, on this second read through, that, while I still like them, I was not nearly so impressed as I had been the first time. The prophets robert jones jr6/21/2023 She becomes pregnant with Solomon-whom she can't bring herself to love-and this infuriates Amos, an older slave who loves her and schemes to turn the plantation against Isaiah and Samuel for what he thinks of not only as their selfishness, but their unnatural love. There's Essie, for instance, the female slave Isaiah can't impregnate and who eventually is raped by Paul. Samuel’s and Isaiah's sexuality throws a wrench in Paul's cruelty, and the consequences of their love send ripples through the novel's vast cast of vividly rendered characters. The plantation's owner is Paul, a White man who forces his slaves into having sex so the women will produce new slaves. Isaiah is haunted by fragmented memories of the mother he was stripped from as a child Samuel became Isaiah's first friend on the plantation when he was brought there in chains, and their relationship has bloomed into a love affair that sets them apart from the other slaves and disrupts the plantation's functioning. Samuel and Isaiah are two young men enslaved on a Mississippi plantation known as Empty. In his debut novel, Jones-perhaps better known to readers as the blogger Son of Baldwin-delivers an ambitious tale of love and beauty in the face of brutality. An epic attempt to imagine a history of Black queerness from the African past to the antebellum American South. December phil rickman6/21/2023 While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.” “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD),” a statement read. Willis’ family updated fans in February 2023 and revealed that his condition had progressed into frontotemporal dementia. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.” “We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. “This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support,” Willis’ family wrote in a statement at the time. Aphasia is a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person’s ability to communicate. Schwarzenegger and Willis both appeared in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables” and “The Expendables 2.” Willis’ family announced in March 2022 that his aphasia diagnosis would not make it possible for him to continue acting. Veiled Rose by Anne Elisabeth Stengl6/20/2023 Sure, Leo put Rosie under his personal protection and got her a job as a palace servant - which, while not the ideal position, was way better than her life on the mountain. But then Leo had a bad tendency of just forgetting about Rosie, and that's something no true friend would do. I could understand his want and need to pursue his own life, rather than simply accept the role that was laid out for him from the beginning. Half of the time I liked him, as he continued to stand by Rosie while everyone else was cruel to her. She's a fighter, and I really appreciated that, especially after reading Heartless, where Una did nothing to help herself. Rose Red is in distress alright, but she doesn't let it get her down. She may not be able to do much about her situation, or really help anyone else, but at least she tries, rather than playing the victimized damsel in distress. You really see the character impersonator's face, and I like how her image is in a mirror, held (clearly) by the Dragon.Ĭharacters: Rose Red is a much better protagonist than Una in Heartless. Cover Blurb: Yes or No? Even though the girl looks nothing like Rose Red, I do like the cover. The rainbow david herbert lawrence6/20/2023 Lawrence never quite belonged among the modernists anyway. A critic as temperamentally unsympathetic to Lawrence as Irving Howe could write, with a revealing sense of priority, of “the revolutionary achievements of Lawrence, Joyce and, to a smaller extent, Woolf.” The list doesn’t usually come out that way today. More notoriously, he had also, in “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” opened up the English-language novel to a frank, four-letter-word treatment of sex. And, having found a way in “The Rainbow” and “Women in Love” to dramatize the lives of his characters at a level where aggression and desire face off in a kind of primitive incandescence, he was duly credited as a technical innovator. In the decades after the Second World War, Lawrence was regarded as a culture hero: an intellectual up from the working class, a prophet against mechanized existence, a champion of instinctual life. And the tides of his reception have likewise shifted between adulation and disdain. People talking about Lawrence sound like his own quarrelsome couples: they hate him, they say, or they love him, or both. Lawrence must count as one of the most harmonious writers of all time. If, as Oscar Wilde said, when critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself, then D. |
