5/29/2023 0 Comments Beyond good and evil translation![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. At the beginning of the book (§ 2), Nietzsche attacks the very idea of using strictly opposite terms such as "Good versus Evil". Īccording to translator Walter Kaufman, the title refers to the need for moral philosophy to go beyond simplistic black and white moralizing, as contained in statements such as "X is good" or "X is evil". Naumann of Leipzig at the author's own expense and first translated into English by Helen Zimmern, who was two years younger than Nietzsche and knew the author. It was first published in 1886 under the publishing house C. Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunftīeyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future ( German: Jenseits von Gut und Böse: Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft) is a book by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that covers ideas in his previous work Thus Spoke Zarathustra but with a more polemical approach. ![]() ![]() Making History takes more than standing in line / believing little white lies about pain.” Liebel said we were Making History, / but all I did was sqwunch up my eyes and wince. ![]() ![]() Nelson grippingly conveys the depth of her resulting isolation, noting the strangeness of how in Kittery Point, Maine, “we’re the First Negroes of everything.” There’s also the bafflement of having meaning attached to simply being herself-for example, while standing in line to get a polio vaccine in 1955 Kansas, “Mrs. Moving to 11 locations in 10 years, from Ohio to Texas, Maine to California, Nelson, her sister and parents crossed the country, repeatedly giving the speaker in these first-person poems the full-throttle experience of being not only the new kid on the block, but often the lone African-American in her class. ![]() In its 50 unrhymed sonnets, the memoir reflects on Nelson at ages 4 through 14, as she and her family followed her father during the pivotal 1950s. Multiaward-winning poet Nelson ( A Wreath for Emmett Till, illustrated by Philippe Lardy, 2005, etc.) tells how growing up as a daughter of one of the first African-American career officers in the Air Force influenced her artistic development. ![]() ![]() Presently, George glanced at his watch: “Should be there in an hour,” he called back over his shoulder to Chuck. At least there would be no risk, thought George, of the pilot being unable to take off. The sky overhead was perfectly clear, and ablaze with the familiar, friendly stars. On their way down to the valley, they have this exchange: They decide to slip away a few hours before the last permutations have been emitted, sneak down the mountain, and catch a flight out of the region before the project is revealed as a failure. ![]() Toward the end of the project, though, the Americans, recognizing the absurdity of the venture, begin to get nervous that these superstitious and primitive monks will blame the machines and their programmers for failing to bring about the end of the world. The monks figure, by recording every possible permutation, they will cast a wide net, and get the sacred names to boot, thus accelerating the ordinary procedure of history. According to their Tibetan belief, when all of the nine billion names of God have been discovered and then recorded within the sacred books, history will come to an end, because the natural world will have fulfilled its purpose of revealing all facets of God. Arthur Clarke’s 1952 sci-fi story, “The Nine Billion Names of God,” tells the story of two cynical Manhattan computer programmers in the early days of the industry, who were hired by Tibetan monks to write a program to spit out every possible permutation of a sequence of random letters. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The night she disappeared reviews![]() ![]() ![]() As the pages go by, more questions arise, and other characters get pulled into the story, each, it seems, hiding a piece of the puzzle. Kim's sense of loss is palpable and the mystery behind the disappearance is unbelievably compelling. She knows that despite her youth, despite how hard it is to be a young mother, Tallulah would never abandon her baby. When teen mother Tallulah goes missing, the police assume she's made a break for it, cast off responsibility for her baby and ran away with her boyfriend. The difference here is in the vivid characters, in how Kim and Tallulah come to life on the page. This one begins with the plot of countless other mystery/thrillers: a daughter goes missing, leaving behind a distraught mother who will do anything to find her. ![]() Jewell's best books are the ones that make you fall hard for the characters so you can't do anything else until you've found out what happened to them. The Night She Disappeared is an excellent thriller, steeped in mystery and drama, with a strong emotionally-compelling mother/daughter love story at its core. I found it absolutely riveting and impossible to put down. At this point I have read six Lisa Jewell books, but this one is my favourite. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments All in the Cards by Rebecca Cohen![]() ![]() By doing this, I’m able to impose some small measure of order on the chaos I perceive around me. In response to an arguably unhealthy appetite for and consumption of political trends and global happenings, I layer, obscure, tear, cut and organize materials into collages that respond to current events. This technique also accommodates a lifelong obsession with news of the world-at-large. Repurposing these materials allows me to make sense of the past and to clarify and express internal narratives. The ephemera I pull from represent a long and complex personal life. These days I use found objects, papers, pictures, newspaper clippings, post cards, and photographs – in other words, the detritus I’ve accumulated over 70-plus years – and assemble them into unique works on paper. What is all this about, this layering of disparate materials that has defined my second career as an artist? Throughout my first, which began in art school more than half a century ago and succumbed rather quickly to life’s demands, I dedicated my studio time to working almost exclusively with pen and ink. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The plague by albert camus![]() ![]() It is a metaphor not only for Fascism but also for the collusion, passivity and resignation which embraces death in the institutionalisation of murder. ![]() Camus was drawn to exploring the source of that deep anguish and vulnerability at the heart of human existence our mortality.īut written in the wake of occupied France, The Plague is also a metaphor for the suffocation of human freedom in and by a political ideology intent on the systematic destruction of the other. Lasting for about a year the epidemic has a disrupting and disturbing effect on the lives and minds of its inhabitants. Translated from the French by Stuart GilbertĪlbert Camus’ La Peste or The Plague, written in 1947 is a fictional account of the sudden arrival and spread of bubonic plague in the Algerian town of Oran. ![]() ![]() Thus the study has, pragmatically proved the efficacy of the speech act theory that in saying something, we do something else (Austin, 1962). Thus, through the application of the theory to the characters' names, we may establish that rather than mere entertaining his reader/audience, the playwright, through his use of names, oftentimes prescribes, informs, asserts and predicts among others. All the major characters' names in the text are given quantitative and qualitative analysis, based on the pragmatic principle of speech acts by Austin (1962). The study takes an onomastic approach to the exploration of Ola Rotimi's The gods are not to blame. ![]() This study is an attempt at filling this gap. Several studies have been carried out on Ola Rotimi's works using different literary and linguistic criticisms to the exclusion of the author's onomastic resources. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Hard time cara mckenna read online![]() ![]() ![]() What first begins as a simple lesson in literacy begins to turn into something much deeper when he gives Annie the first letter. But beneath that tough and muscled exterior there exists a soul of a gentle and romantic man. He’s simply a man that committed a crime, a crime that he would commit all over again if given the chance. He’s not some ultimate bad boy, an asshole, or a hard-ass. That unreadable expression, an impossible mix of apathy and fascination, coldness and seduction.Įric was not at all what I expected from reading the book’s blurb. But it’s not his attitude, leering, or catcalling that snags her, because he doesn’t do any of those things. Eric, or inmate number 802267 as she first knows him, catches her eye right way. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments The circus ship by chris van dusen![]() ![]() I can certainly understand why it is a family favorite! Recommended to picture-book readers who enjoy animal stories, as well as to fans of Chris Van Dusen's vibrantly colorful artwork. ![]() I'm glad to have now read another, and I thank my boss Tim for giving me a copy. ![]() I know Van Dusen largely through his work on Kate DiCamillo's Mercy Watson books, although I have read one of his own picture-books - Hattie & Hudson - as well. I enjoyed pretty much everything about this one, from the story itself to the rhyming text, the eye-catching artwork to the seek-and-find element in the scene in which the villagers hide the animals in plain sight. Paine is headed their way, determined to reclaim his animal performers, they spring in to gear to protect and hide these unexpected new residents.Īpparently inspired by a real incident from history, in which a ship carrying a circus sank off the Maine coast in 1836, The Circus Ship pairs an entertaining read-aloud tale in rhyme with brightly-colored, immensely expressive illustrations. ![]() Abandoned by their cruel owner, who decides to save himself, the animals make their way ashore on a small Maine island, where their kindness to the human locals soon wins them friends. Paine and fifteen of his most exotic animals are caught up in a shipwreck in this rhyming tale from author/illustrator Chris Van Dusen. ![]() |
