He advocates that caring for others is of civic value to the greater community. The subsequent four chapters provide well-researched cases that underscore that argument, including military service members who work for the nation, parents who raise children in stable home environments, and caretakers who sacrifice their lives for the public good, providing high-level care for the elderly or handicapped. He first presents the current challenges of enacting immigration reform, then argues that "civic membership as reciprocity" should recognize the contributions of unauthorized immigrants through normalizing their status to remain in the US.

Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for drama. George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, socialist, and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. A staple of college drama courses, it is still widely performed. The irresistible theme of the emerging butterfly, together with Shaw's brilliant dialogue and splendid skills as a playwright, have made Pygmalion one of the most popular comedies in the English language. In the process of convincing society that his creation is a mysterious royal figure, the Professor also falls in love with his elegant handiwork. ![]() In Shaw's clever adaptation, Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert, takes on a bet that he can transform an awkward cockney flower seller into a refined young lady simply by polishing her manners and changing the way she speaks. An updated and considerably revised version of the ancient Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, the 20th-century story pokes fun at the antiquated British class system. One of George Bernard Shaw's best-known plays, Pygmalion was a rousing success on the London and New York stages, an entertaining motion picture and a great hit with its musical version, My Fair Lady. ![]() ![]() It really irritated me that Pippa ran around serving Cindi and letting her get away with it. The “4” is my compromise between the “3” I wanted to plant on it for Pippa allowing Cindi to be such a bitch and the “5” I felt for the rest of the story. After all, if Kendrick is going to be showing up at contemporary Artane, with 13-year-old triplets… My Take ![]() Chronologically, it should come after Stardust of Yesterday, 11, which is all about Kendrick’s adventures and how his romantic life completes itself.

Each led an unstable life ending in madness and/or suicide and not until the twentieth century did each make their full impact. Zweig's subjects here are respectively a lyric poet, a dramatist and writer of novellas, and a philosopher. In 'Hoelderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche', Zweig concentrates on three giants of German literature to portray the artist and thinker as a figure possessed by a powerful inner vision at odds with the materialism and scientific positivism of his time, in this case, the nineteenth century. ![]() This is the second volume in a trilogy in which Stefan Zweig builds a composite picture of the European mind through intellectual portraits selected from among its most representative and influential figures. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ex-soldiers returned to their hometowns for a pat on the back and zero job prospects.

Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire is one of our favourite castles. In recent years, they have ventured into more modern times – the two Alec Lonsdale novels take place in Victorian London and The Nimrod Murders is set in Edwardian London, while The Murder House takes place in 21st century Bristol and The Killing Ship in the modern-day Antarctic.

![]() ![]() The original trilogy was so incredible, I worry that I won't think The Stolen Heir lives up to it, and be extremely disappointed. Now, as I actually have a chance to read The Stolen Heir, I worry I'll find myself disappointed by it. After I finished The Queen of Nothing, I was so hyped to find out that The Stolen Heir was going to be released, because I wanted to read more set in the world of The Folk of the Air. ![]() I have no doubt that Holly Black will live up to this and make The Stolen Heir an enjoyable, amazingly well-written read with wonderful characters. ![]() I absolutely loved all parts of The Folk of the Air trilogy, the characters were amazing and well-written, the plot was well-developed, and well, everything was just amazing. On one hand, I really want to read this book. Should I read it? Should I not read it? I need some help here. ![]() ![]() He has to grapple with what it means to be king as well as coming to terms with his secret.Īn adorable classic shoujo romance. Sariphi is a simple character, naïve but compassionate, while the King is more complicated. Not much to say here, just has good art.Īs I said, no one here is something you've never seen before or super interesting character concept but they're simply so endearing and well written that it makes up for all of that. I really like the design of the king as well, it's quite regal. Good character art, with lots of cool beast designs. solved too quickly and/or easily sometimes. We see Sariphi gain more allies and open up people to the idea of peace with humans however there are other issues to ensure it doesn't get repetitive. There is some drama due to Sariphi being a human. I like the trials the main characters are put through, helping them grow. However, what it lacks in originality it makes up in execution. Look, this is a rehash of beauty and the beast with plenty of clichés to boot. ![]() |
