In her eyes, what constitutes a “happy” and “free” society? First, she must unlock this imagery. Your child, too, most likely has a dream: a vision for a bright future. Hopefully, she has learned that this speech was one of hope during a time of strife – and described what King envisioned for the world in which he lived. The civil rights leader proclaimed: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” He also speaks of places: “snowcapped Rockies of Colorado,” the “slopes of California,” and the “mighty mountains of New York.” He evokes sounds, too, like children singing of a “sweet land of liberty,” and other senses, as when he speaks of Mississippi, a “state sweltering with the heat of injustice.”Īsk what your child has learned at school about Martin Luther King Jr. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, and his passionate words signaled the push for desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. ![]() Board of Education in 1954, which ruled that separate schools for blacks and whites were “inherently unequal.” Still, in the fifties and sixties, equality was far from a reality.

In The Overstory, Powers twits those critics by presenting - with his usual scientific brio - trees that live, breathe, and signal to each other, exist in a “social” relation with other trees and the biosphere that depends on them. These critics carp that his often highly intelligent characters are not human, don’t live and breathe and feel for each other. Powers has sometimes been criticized for being a “top-down” novelist, one who presents characters from the high or long perspective of history, science, or music. The “overstory” of Richard Powers’s title is a term for the canopy of a forest, the foliage at the top of the trees. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Gated by amy christine parker![]() ![]() As Pioneer begins to manipulate his flock toward disaster, the question remains: Will Lyla follow them over the edge?įrom the outside looking in, it’s hard to understand why anyone would join a cult. ![]() Her family and friends are certain in their belief.

This is a thoroughly English novel, a novel of the rain and loneliness, yet it is also about tumultuous and terrible love. As the narrator, Bendrix at once gathers the reader into his loneliness. ![]() "This is a record of hate far more than of love," Bendrix writes as he muses why he begins the novel as he does, on a black wet January night on the Common, in 1946. Though other great romantic books such as Gone with the Wind, Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre deal with the interplay between love and hate, The End of the Affair does so more openly. ![]() Passionate and cerebral, its prose meticulously mirrors the mind of its narrator. The novel enlarges the reader's understanding of love, a word which really should be divided into 20 subdivisions - most of which the novel explores. ![]() The book is more powerful than the film partly because Ralph Fiennes looks too much the part of the romantic hero, whereas the character he plays, Maurice Bendrix, is an anti-hero, calculating, jealous, malicious and savage. It is one of the most forensic and honest analyses of love you will ever read. Great romantic novels are about pain and hate, and among the greatest is Graham Greene's searing The End of the Affair. ![]() ![]() ![]() A former heiress, orphaned and left penniless, Danielle has more than a few secrets of her own. Miss Danielle LaCrosse is startled to learn that the handsome gentleman who radiates sin and has the devil in his eyes is not her employer the Viscount, but rather his infamous brother. And even though a case of mistaken identity can be quickly set to rights, matters of the heart are quite different. But when an unexpected run-in at his twin brother's estate with a ravishing, raven-haired maid leads her to believe he's actually a viscount, Cade's renegade life is thrown wildly off-kilter. ![]() Nothing and no one can hold him to be the duty-bound, honorable man he is expected to be. A rumored pirate and the scurrilous black sheep of his well-to- do family, Cade Cavendish relishes his world of rebellion, deception, and seduction. The rules of engagement were never so scandalous. The seventh book in the series, Never Trust a Pirate, is inspired by Emma Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel. ![]() Bestselling author Valerie Bowman sets the stage in Regency England for her Playful Brides series, where couples' misadventures on the way to the altar are witty, romantic romps based on some of the world's most beloved plays. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Shameful flight by stanley wolpert![]() ![]() Yet, his central argument mirrors the misgivings of the relics of the pre-War Conservative Party to the management of decolonisation. ![]() Wolpert cannot be lumped with the Tory "revisionist" historians such as Andrew Roberts and Niall Ferguson who have done so much to rescue the British Empire from the gratuitous derision of post-War historiography. This slim chronological study of the events from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the Kashmir war of 1948 is an offshoot of his biographies-but laced with an intriguing thesis. As a biographer of the three towering personalities who played key roles-Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohammed Ali Jinnah-Stanley Wolpert has examined the Partition saga from the perspective of the Congress, the Muslim League and the maverick loner. Indeed, most of the recent publications on the subject have either tapped the hidden reservoirs of public memory-basically survivors' tales-or fallen back on interpretation. With most of the official and private papers in the public domain there is precious little by way of original findings that a historian can hope for. From the encyclopaedic 12-volume The Transfer of Power documents to Patrick French's delightful bestseller Liberty or Death, there are few aspects of the bloody Partition of India that have not been written about. ![]() |
