“Use it to tell your story, Susanna,” said Hamilton, as I thanked him. She says she will never use it, it is so pretty.Īnd for me, this elegant little book! It has red leather covers and many thick creamy pages. He also brought everyone a present: a volume of Scott’s poetry for Mama, tobacco for Papa, velvet ribbons for Maria (how she will preen in front of Charles!) and a handkerchief for Tabitha. What a great many items he unpacked! Coffee and souchong tea, brandy and rum, loaf sugar, salt, a soup tureen and a silver ladle, many tools and a handsome clock for the parlour. Today my beloved brother Hamilton returned from Kingston, where he has been for the past two weeks, selling flour and buying supplies for the farm. This is the best present I have ever received. Niagara Peninsula, Upper Canada, May, 1812

“We are very pleased to bring together Armenian readers and the work of a Nobel laureate author,” said Hamazkayin Chairwoman Lilit Kalstyan, adding that intercommoned dialog would develop with cultural exchange. The idea to translate the novel into Armenian originally came from Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, who was murdered in 2007. The novel’s main character, Ka, witnesses firsthand the clash between radical Islam and Western ideals along his journey. The novel, published in Turkish in 2002, and translated into English in 2004, tells the story of a Turkish poet who travels to the border city of Kars after having spent 12 years as a political exile in Germany. YEREVAN (Combined Sources)-Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamouk’s novel “Snow” has been translated into Armenian by the Yerevan chapter of the Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society. Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh in 1923. It is edited by Margit Erb and Michael Parillo of the Saul Leiter Foundation, and is embellished with texts that describe how Leiter assembled his slide archive and how it is being catalogued and restored. This volume contains works discovered through this project-specifically, color photography from slides never before published or seen by the public. His studio in the East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation, which has commenced a full-scale survey of his more than 80,000 works. Choosing to shoot in color when black and white was the norm, Leiter portrayed midcentury New York's street life with a gorgeous painterliness that evoked the sensuality of his Abstract Expressionist contemporaries Rothko and Newman. Now firmly established as one of the world's greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) was relatively little known until the 2006 publication of Saul Leiter: Early Color, when he was already in his eighties. A thrilling trove of newly discovered color works from the photographer celebrated for his pioneering painterly vision Illustrated in Piret Raud’s fun, quirky style and imaginatively told with her characteristic wit, this book is an appealing and humorous tale sure to delight children and adults alike.

But as my book shows, the Jacksonians did not have a corner on white supremacy. He demonizes the Democrats and caricatures Andrew Jackson as an illiberal, autocratic white supremacist. Instead, he claims that the Whigs were the true heroes. and Sean Wilentz, who describe the Jacksonians as major proponents of democratic reform. He aims to dismantle the work of diverse historians, including Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Howe wants to rehabilitate the Whig Party as the outstanding force for liberal politics and technological progress of the time. But let’s focus instead on larger, more substantive issues. I know Millard Fillmore was a Whig-my book simply ends two years before Fillmore took office. Disagreement with England did contribute to the Monroe Doctrine. My book doesn’t equate the Liberty and Free Soil parties. I would relish the space to discuss every false allegation Howe raises. In his smugly dismissive review of Waking Giant: America in the Age of Jackson, Daniel Walker Howe uses a smokescreen of cavils to avoid confronting my book’s conclusions, which clash with his recent book, What Hath God Wrought. Plus, it also explained the purpose of those big colourful jars of liquids often seen in the windows of chemists shops: a prescription from one jar allowed you to understand the language of animals, from the other vice versa (I can’t tell you how much of my childhood was spent plotting how to get hold of some!) The King o’ the Cats I loved these books because they revealed a whole night-time kingdom ruled by cats that coexisting alongside, but unobserved by the humans in their humdrum daylight world. My all time favourite was the trilogy of stories by Barbara Sleigh charting the adventures of a little girl called Rosemary Brown and the witches cat Carbonel. Tame Cat’s Optical Illusion (Tokuhiro Kawai, 2006, Oil on Canvas)Īs a child I used to love stories about cats: Jeffy the Burglar’s Cat, Gobollino the Witches Cat, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats – basically if it had a cat in it I would read it. Olsson has a clear feel for the emotional wellsprings of both characters, but can't convert her terse lyricism into a fully realized story. Against the backdrop of the changing seasons and their small, plangent houses, the two women slowly tell each other their most closely guarded secrets (which concern their mothers and lovers), and venture, tentatively, out of the safety of their routines.

Reclusive septuagenarian Astrid Mattson, thought by the village to be a witch, takes an interest in Veronika, and the two strike up a friendship based on loss. She rents a small house in a rural town to work on her second, but in solitude finds herself seized by feverish dreams and paralyzed by the "stillness" of the landscape and the memories of her recently dead fianc. Using spare prose and keen insight, Olsson (Astrid & Veronika) explores how two estranged sisters come together and face difficult elements of their shared past. In Swedish novelist Olsson's somber debut, Veronika Bergman returns to Sweden after a childhood following her diplomat father around the world (her mother abandoned the family), and after publishing her first novel titled Single, One Way, No Luggage.

Brief Summary of Book: Kiss Me Tonight (Put A Ring On It, #2) by Maria Luis However, it’s now my main focus and I have to say that allowing it to ferment in my mind for eighteen months was probably the best thing that I could have done as it’s pretty much POURING out on to the page now and, I think, is going pretty well.Īs originally planned, it’s written in the first person and tells the story of the so called Autumn Of Terror from the point of view of three very different young women who are kicking about in Whitechapel during the murders – Alice, the rather prim daughter of a wealthy and renowned artist Emma, a down on her luck reformed prostitute and Clara, the fresh faced daughter of a local policeman (who is based on one of my own ancestors). The fact of the matter is that I’ve been hard at work on my novel about the Whitechapel Murders in 1888, which is turning into a bit of an epic project with all sorts of things going on.Īs some of you may recall, I started working on the so called Ripper Book about eighteen months ago but then shelved it while I wrote Minette. I’ve been neglecting this blog a bit, haven’t I? Sorry about that. The women of Whitechapel arming themselves against the Ripper. |
