Recently I became aware of the work of Bruce Pascoe, described in an article in the Australian on September 8 as “our most influential indigenous historian”. ![]() ![]() She puts up with all his nonsense while she fends off advances from his male friend and traveling companion who is in love with her. He drunkenly demands tea, flashing his money, when his Arab host has told him the women are asleep. ![]() His wife knows that he wanders off at night to go to prostitutes. Generally he’s an Ugly American par excellence.

The first half of the book focuses on the husband the second half on the wife. A 30-ish American married couple and a male friend are traveling in the French colonies right after the end of World War II at a time when the US State Department advised people NOT to travel there because of rampant disease and the disintegration of social conditions and of law and order. “On the Road” in North Africa, published eight years before Kerouac’s classic. ![]() ![]() ![]() But Orpheus’ gift of song reflects all the beauty of nature and reminds us how alluring, enchanting and unique the real world is. This book is recommended for teenagers as they often lose their curiosity about the world which we all had as children. ![]() The novel is centred on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, with Orpheus’ love turning close into an obsession. This is a reference to evil entering the Garden of Eden (their paradise). ![]() The sudden change in mood from serene nature and music is juxtaposed with the snakes on the beach and screams. The reader is swept along with Orpheus’ music but a sudden interruption from Ella’s screams acts as a turning point for the whole novel. Almond likens love’s power to nature – ‘keeps the sea flowing, stars shining, us all alive’, showing it is an invisible force which commands to be seen and felt. Almond uses a descriptive, lyrical style of writing to show the dreamy nature around Orpheus and Ella, successfully reflecting the simple happiness of music and love. Likewise Orpheus hears Ella’s voice for the first time and an invisible connection forms between them, tying their fates together as lovers. Ella was not present but hears his music through Claire’s phone and is overwhelmed by a strange emotion which she later calls ‘love’. Orpheus is encountered for the first time and his entrancing music seems to attract all of nature. ![]() ![]() No one tried to lead me, and I believe every reader, including those who were closest to the late President, will find much here that is new and some, perhaps, that is disturbing. ![]() I received no financial assistance from the Kennedy family. My relationships with all the principal figures were entirely professional. Kennedy nor anyone else is in any way answerable for my subsequent research or this narrative based upon it. The second, which must quickly follow, is that neither Mrs. Kennedy suggested that I write an account of the tragic and historic events in Texas and Washington ten weeks earlier.

The book also discusses the different styles of painting in the chapels of state and religious officials and how these styles reveal workshop organization and “patronage” practices in Thebes. Various aspects of the pre-Amarna Theban tomb are explored, from the tomb’s purpose as a creative and commemorative vehicle for the deceased to the placement and functional properties of its imagery. The book studies the ways in which pictorial imagery functioned on behalf of the dead in the afterlife, presented their identity to the living, and revealed underlying religious developments with important societal implications. Tomb Painting and Identity in Ancient Thebes, 1419-1372 BCE examines the style, iconography, and symbolism of painting in all extant private Theban tomb chapels decorated during the reigns of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III. ![]() ![]() ![]() Needless to say, the book, How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare, definitely caught my eye! Written by internationally acclaimed playwright, Ken Ludwig, the book showcases the method Ludwig used to teach Shakespeare passages to his own children!

I want them to be able to identify and even memorize and recite some of the many famous passages from Shakespeare’s plays! How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare I want my children to have the same eye-opening experience I had with reading Shakespeare’s work…minus the ill, preconceived notion that it would be too hard and too boring. However, I quickly discovered that if you have a teacher who knows how to teach Shakespeare, it can be VERY interesting and, dare I say, exciting! ![]() I had subscribed to the common thought of my teenage peers that learning about Shakespeare and reading through his plays would not only be a daunting task, but that frankly, it would be downright boring. When I initially saw the syllabus and discovered that we would be studying Shakespeare, I was less than thrilled. ![]() I can remember sitting in my 12th grade AP English class. ![]() ![]() The story starts off with the same foundation of history. So, as a reader, do not go into this thinking it is all politics and non biographicals, it is a fantasy romance with a happy ending that does not translate to real life. ![]() There are made up characters and the real people featured in the story have their own real pasts that become warped in order to fit into the writer’s story. ![]() This is a fantasy book with magic and supernatural creatures, thus the story is able to be changed according to the author. Yes, this book is inspired by the story of the Romanovs, Rasputin, and has historical events that were important to Russian history embedded within the story, but it is not historically accurate. Seeing the book title “Anastasia”, may have you wondering if this is another retelling of the classic story of the young Romanov princess escaping her killers and reuniting with her family, but you would be wrong. ![]() “There’s no family without loss, no love without pain.” Sophie Lark, Anastasia ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Le Guin: The Hainish Novels and Stories, just published on Sept.

The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways.ģ.5 stars. ![]() Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. She was known for her treatment of gender ( The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems ( The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. ![]() |
