![]() Outlawed starts to get good-even funny-when Ada runs away again, to Hole in the Wall. ![]() The convent is relatively safe but Ada finds it just as confining as her village, even if she’s not expected to procreate. Ada’s first port after fleeing accusations of witchcraft is a convent of barren women. Women like Ada and her mother, who are midwives, are tolerated but barely. ![]() Women have limited roles: mother, wife, pre-wife, post-mother. That first chapter or so of Outlawed is very uncomfortable to read, as North throws in just about every anti-feminist trope into the narrative. Ada’s path to outlawry begins when she fails to get pregnant and is blamed for everything. Women who can’t get pregnant are viewed askance and heaven help them if anything bad happens to anyone or anything in their village. Women are expected to immediately start gestating as soon as the ink is dry on their marriage certificates and keep going until they die or their body gives out. ![]() The world left behind seems obsessed with growing the population. A few decades before Ada was even born, devastating influenza ripped across the country (and presumably, the rest of the world). Although biology and societal convention push Ada into it, she is really not cut out for an outlaw’s life in Outlawed, Anna North’s thought-provoking alternate history of late-nineteenth-century America. ![]()

![]() ![]() During the voyage, the fruit of the vine continued to age.Ĭlay jars are not as airtight as today’s French oak barrels, but they do have advantages, says Brian Terrizzi, founder and winemaker at Gironata Wines in Paso Robles. Ships were built with boxes that allowed amphorae – the large jars used to transport wine – to stand straight up, she says. Before refrigeration and mechanized irrigation. It was a time before mass-produced pesticides and commercial yeast. Journey with a few experts to a land where transubstantiation meets carbonic maceration, as we ponder what is perhaps an unanswerable question: What did Jesus drink? Rather, it’s intelligent speculation about how that wine actually tasted. Some hold that the “wine” in Christ’s time was not alcoholic because such a beverage should never have touched the Lord’s lips. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Easter and Passover draw near, thoughts turn to the vine and curious minds reel. In ancient times, wine was precious and revered, mentioned more than 140 times in the Bible. “… the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, ‘Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one but you have kept the good wine until now.’” (John 2:9-10). And if you heed the Scriptures, quite a good one, according to the maitre d’ at the wedding in Cana. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kel has survived four years as a page, and is moving on to being a squire under either an active duty knight or a desk knight in the palace. ![]() Genre: ( Young Adult) Fantasy / Magic / Adventure This first book in the quartet has plenty of action and adventure, and allows us to revisit good ol’ Tortall while getting us familiar with the new characters. Her tenacity and firm belief in doing the right thing particularly stand out in my mind, since the plotline allows those characteristics to shine through. I fell in love with Kel and her gang in this book – Kel is so different compared to Alanna in that Kel is quieter and more “average” in terms of looks, so maybe that’s why I could relate with her more. Kel is determined to show everyone that she can make it, and in the process, gains some valuable friends and makes some enemies too. However, she’s been put on probation by the training master, and has to handle bullying from the boys and being at a physical disadvantage. ![]() Long story short, the realm of Tortall is finally accepting its first girl into the knighthood training program in a hundred years ( Alanna didn’t count since she hid that she was a girl), and ten-year-old Keladry of Mindelan stepped up at the chance. ![]() Genre: ( Middle Grade) Fantasy / Magic / Adventure ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His brother, Kevin, was an actor and screenwriter.

These rafts resemble islands, to the extent of having plant and animal life upon them, including edible plants and plants large enough to provide shelter. He finds that the surface of the planet is covered in a sweet-water ocean which is dotted with floating rafts of vegetation. Ransom arrives in Venus after a quick journey through inter-planetary space. The remainder of the story is told from Ransom's point of view, with Lewis acting as interlocutor and occasional commentator. He returns to Earth over a year later and is met by Lewis and another friend, then recounts his experiences. Ransom is transported in a casket-like vessel which is seemingly made of ice and contains only himself, unclothed, as Oyarsa tells him clothes are unnecessary on Venus. ![]() Ransom explains to Lewis that he (Ransom) is to travel to Perelandra ( Venus), where he is to counter some kind of attack - details not yet specified - to be launched by Earth's Black Archon ( Satan). Ransom summons narrator-Lewis to his country home. ![]() Philologist Elwin Ransom, some years after his return from Mars at the end of Out of the Silent Planet, receives a new mission from the Oyarsa (the angelic ruler) of Mars. ![]() Lewis, set on the planet of Perelandra, or Venus.

Meanwhile, one of the foxes, a young female called Kitsune, is equally fascinated by the humans who have unexpectedly invaded her domain and falls in love with Yoshifuji. But Yoshifuji’s wife, Shikujo, fears the countryside, the foxes in particular, and their effect on her husband, whose erratic behaviour is becoming ever more incomprehensible to her. He is fascinated by the foxes who live in the garden, and who seem to represent the freedom which is missing from his own life, rigidly governed as it was by the protocols of court and city. Having inadvertently fallen from favour at court, Yoshifuji has returned to his neglected country estate to ponder his future. ![]() The world of the Japanese court is equally subtle, with a wealth of meaning made manifest in the manner of a gesture or the colour of a robe. In the fox’s world, nothing is ever quite as it seems. ![]() To the Japanese, the fox is a subtle creature, a shape-shifter, an illusionist whose magic is the stuff of deception. ![]() ![]() This site does not host pdf, DOC files all document are the property of their respective owners.

So yes indeed, with regard to Laura Freeman's bright and boldly descriptive accompanying artwork (which really does expressively and wonderfully totally and utterly compliment Margot Lee Shetterly's presented text) as well as the factual and thematic details which Shetterly gives us readers on and about Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden (and of course also the information on NASA, the Cold War, the so-called Space Race, and also the Civil Rights Movement and the fight against segregation), Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race really does majorly and wonderfully shine (presenting both textually and illustratively not only absolutely and essential need to know facts and data but also showing just how difficult it generally was for women but in particular for African American women to be taken seriously and to be approached with the respect they deserved with regard to their careers etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus' son AchillesĪnd its devastation, which put pains thousand-fold upon the Achaians, This is evident in the first few lines where he writes, ![]() ![]() His line structure is stilted and strained, with some odd syntax and aesthetically jarring word choices. However I found his fidelity to be inconsistent and moreover I found him to be a poor writer. For a standard classroom study of Homer he is often the teacher’s favourite. But it's perhaps the closest approximation possible. Its not a true dactylic hexameter since that's all but impossible in English. His translation was ground-breaking in its day for not only being faithful to the language but for daring to match the metrical rhythm of Homer as well. The first and most frequently recommended translation is Lattimore (1951). I focused on recent versions because I find older translations to be distracting with their more archaic English style. I've been wondering which translation of the Iliad to buy and so spent some time looking into all of the main translations from the last 70 years, focusing on a direct comparison of the first 43 lines as an example of their work. ![]() ![]() ![]() John Ridd helps Lorna escape to his family's farm, Plover's Barrows. Sir Ensor dies, and Carver becomes lord of the Doones. Carver will let nothing get in the way of his marriage to Lorna, which he plans to force upon her once Sir Ensor dies and he comes into his inheritance. He falls hopelessly in love with Lorna, a girl he meets by accident, who turns out to be not only (apparently) the granddaughter of Sir Ensor Doone (lord of the Doones), but destined to marry (against her will) the impetuous, menacing, and now jealous heir of the Doone Valley, Carver Doone. ![]() Battling his desire for revenge, John also grows into a respectable farmer and takes good care of his mother and two sisters. John (in West Country dialect, pronounced "Jan") Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer who was murdered in cold blood by one of the notorious Doone clan, a once noble family, now outlaws, in the isolated Doone Valley. ![]() Plot Summary:The book is set in the 17th century in the Badgworthy Water region of Exmoor in Devon and Somerset, England.
