With Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable.

It is sometimes unbearably difficult to find dialogue in non-fiction literature. I think he was a positive character and a good ruler who tried to make the empire better. Also, despite the partiality of the author, the book shows the mercy, moderation, and mind of Constantine from various small details. ![]() However, the genre must be taken into account. The opponents of Constantine are shown only from the bad side, and the first Christian emperor is presented as an ideal person. However, Eusebius remains one of the most detailed historians on Constantine's reign. For example, such an important matter as the founding of Constantinople was omitted. Wars and conspiracies are described very briefly and even fragmentarily, while much more space is given to doxology in honor of the emperor and church events. Eusebius is too biased, and also misses many important events. It is a pity that for his era there were no thorough historians who created their deep and detailed annals in the first and second centuries of the Roman Empire. ![]() This is a biography of Constantine the Great, written by his faithful supporter Eusebius.Ĭonstantine had a very bright, eventful life with many unexpected plot twists, conspiracie,s and battles. ![]() ![]() ![]() The club is also a haven for Peri, Darwin, Lucie, K.C., Anita, and Catherine-Dakotas dearest friends, big sisters, and sometimes surrogate mothers. ![]() Whipping up chocolate-orange scones at pastry school is Dakota Walkers passion, but shell never give up the Friday Night Knitting Club at Walker and Daughter, the coziest yarn shop in Manhattan.

This audio version presents this masterpiece in a whole new and very interesting light. I was so happy to hear the narrator of At The Existentialist Cafe on this audio! Antonia Beamish’s rich and thoughtful reading of the following two stories is a treasure. I do believe The Turn of the Screw she narrates is one of the best audio editions out there. A story of legacy and neglect of same, and the somewhat horrific aftermath which ensues. It's a shame the Master isn't able to hear her read The Romance of Certain Old Clothes. Anne Undeland reads with a voice perfect for James. Alison Larkin provides fine acting a dash of comedy, emotion and chill in The Third Person. It’s a complicated and fascinating story and Epstein handles the material admirably. Jonathan Epstein deserves a medal for The Jolly Corner, very Jamesian, with an unexpected and fitting ending. This can only be due to the skill of the narrators and I feel they should each be noted. ![]() James is known for his lengthy sentences nevertheless, I found the stories an easy listen. These stories are so rich with language and plot every single one is a delight. ![]() ![]() ![]() The protagonist, called ‘Master’ by a narrator, left a “testament” to the young student/narrator. It is because the climax of this novel describes a protagonist’s decision to commit suicide, following a real event committed by a veteran member of Japan’s military, General Nogi who took his life in a feudal act known as ‘junshi’-meaning ‘following one’s load in death-as atonement for losing in battle some thirty year ago, when the Emperor Meiji died in 1912. This masterpiece is supposed to be the last respects and nostalgic praise of a noble masculinity, more in tune with the feudal Edo period (1603-1867) than the capitalist and westernized nation born after the Meiji restoration. Praising Samurai Masculinity by way of the biblical language - The Influence of Christianity and Oscar Wilde on Soseki Natsume’s Kokoro - Kasumi MIYAZAKI This essay is motivated by the author’s perception that the most important novel in modern Japanese literature, Kokoro(1914), written by Soseki Natsume, has the narrative structure of the Bible, and has got inspiration in particular from Oscar Wilde’s religious thinking in the essay, De Profundis(1905). ![]() ![]() ![]() Although the film's visual effects (which Weitz has called the film's "most successful element") won both a BAFTA and an Academy Award, critical reception was mixed and revenue lower than anticipated.
