PMM 111 Bloom, Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, p. RBH and ABPC record only 3 other copies at auction in the last 30 years. Velpius’s edition, which introduced the text to Northern Europe, is based on Cuedra’s second (with many misprints and other textual infelicities corrected). This edition is the seventh overall-all early editions are rare. It quickly went through numerous editions, translations, and piracies. Don Quixote won immediate fame when first printed in 1605 for its “variety, liveliness, and gibes at the famous.” Its subdued pathos and universal humanity have assured it a place as “one of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times” (PMM). Ruiz notes that this edition was the most finely printed of the early versions to date. The first Brussels edition of the novel “which is to Spanish literature what Shakespeare is to English” (Bloom). El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha. CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, Miguel de (1547-1616). In BI: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality, Shaw probes the science and culture of attraction beyond the binary. Despite statistics that show bisexuality is more common than homosexuality, bisexuality is often invisible. Ask people to name famous bisexual actors, politicians, writers, or scientists, and they draw a blank. It’s an admission, she writes, that usually causes people’s pupils to dilate, their cheeks to flush, and their questions to start flowing. For psychologist and bestselling author Julia Shaw, this is both professional and personal-Shaw studies the science of sexuality and she herself is proudly and vocally bisexual. Despite all the welcome changes that have happened in our culture and laws over the past few decades in regards to sexuality, the subject remains one of the most influential but least understood aspects of our lives.

I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman Nora Ephron. Seriously, a show of hands, how many of you out there can say that you read his first middle grade novel The Qwikpick Adventure Society written under the pen name of Sam Riddleberger? See, that’s what I though. Rowling and now, my friends, I’m saying it about Tom Angleberger: I was into him before it was cool. All that went right in the Origami books, however, was missing from Fake Mustache. Not only was the first surprisingly good, but the sequel floored me even more in terms of writing a great follow-up to a mighty fine book. This book seemed too filled with coincidences and monumental strokes of good luck to engage me as a reader.Īgain, I'm a big, big fan of Angleberger's Origami Yoda/Darth Paper books. Despite a token (and unnecessary) multiple POV for the story (about 1/2 the way through the book) none of the characters seem believable enough for me to take seriously. The characters in Fake Mustache, imho, are more caricatures than characters. The characters are unique but have distinct personalities and seem real enough to care about. The Origami Yoda books are written from multiple perspectives and feature a sympathetic main character who is trying to figure out whether a perplexing friend is psychic or channeling a fictitious movie character or just plain crazy. Second, let me say that Fake Mustache is not an Origami Yoda book. The two written thus far are so good that I continue to recommend them to people today. First, let me say I love Tom Angleberger's Origami Yoda books. I’ve always considered myself really squeamish when it came to the sight of blood and operations and all that. Was that a challenge for you, and how did you find that balance? Presumably a doctor would encounter some pretty gruesome things, especially in the Victorian era, which maybe romance readers aren’t accustomed to. So I based this character Garrett Gibson on her and, of course, used the name Garrett, because I loved the idea of using a slightly androgynous name for this really tremendously accomplished and brave woman. And I could not stop thinking about her because what an incredible thing to be the only woman in an entire country for that long. After she got into the British Medical Association through a loophole after completing all these studies at the Sorbonne in France, the British Medical Association changed their rules so that no more women could be admitted for another 20 years. I was shocked to realize that she was the only female physician in England for 20-30 years and I had never even heard of her. As I was reading about important people back in the late 1800s in England, the name Elizabeth Garrett Anderson came up. When I write these historical romance novels, I do an incredible amount of research just to get the flavor of the time period and to pick up all these details that give the story life. Where did your idea for a female physician/doctor come from? Originally published in 1937, Think and Grow Rich has gone on to sell tens of millions of copies, and transformed the fortunes – and dreams – of many of the most successful people, from all walks of life, in the last 80 years. Think and Grow Rich is a manifesto for living the life you were born for – and a blueprint for success of all kinds, including financial, professional, personal, physical, and spiritual. This online course is based on Napoleon Hill’s classic work, Think and Grow Rich, the best-selling philosophy for success of all time. It was a time when we needed to be reminded that “One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” Perhaps more timely than ever, the #1 book on personal development ever written was born in the aftermath of the now infamous 1918 global pandemic and the 1929 stock market crash that ushered in the great depression. 1, 2, 3)Įdouard Hugon (only Cosmology has been translated) Henri Grenier: Thomistic Philosophy (Vol. Phillips: Modern Thomistic Philosophy (Vol. De Concilio: The Elements of Intellectual Philosophy Hill, S.J.: Elements of Philosophy Comprising Logic and Ontology: or General Metaphysics intermediate.Īugustin Louage: A Course of Philosophy: Embracing Logic, Metaphysics and Ethics Not to be undertaken without basic background in philosophy.Ī Manual of Modern Scholastic Philosophy, Volume I-II (in progress)Ĭompilation of the series of manuals done at Louvain by Cardinal Mercier.

Charles Coppens: Brief Text-Book of Logic (typeset) and Brief Text-Book of Mental Philosophy (typeset) Rather, she masterfully employs the unique playing field of the fantasy genre to (paradoxically) render more visible the reality of social injustice. “Her novels pointedly expose various chauvinisms (sexual, racial, and cultural), are enriched by a historical consciousness… and enact struggles for personal freedom and cultural pluralism,” writes Robert Crossley in an introduction to one of her books (xvii).Īcademic analysis aside, Butler’s works are highly personal and nuanced in their dealings with society’s “chauvinisms,” and they should not be read merely as political allegories. In her own stories, Butler made use of the genre to better explore its potential as a means for social commentary and possibility. Butler, an African American woman, grew up reading science fiction in an era when sci-fi was dominated by white male authors writing for an overwhelmingly white male audience. Butler is rightfully known as one of science fiction’s most acclaimed writers. |
