Palladio's heritage does not have equals in the history of western architecture, and maybe was even the greatest of all architects. On the tables, the villas and the palazzi appear just like the architect had meant them to be, perfect, not spoilt by compromises sometimes imposed by the nature of the place or by already existing buildings, and sumptuous, as they could not always be realized, due to the shortage of funding or other negative circumstances. In 1570 Palladio had The Four Books of Architecture printed, in which he took stock of a 40-year career filled with extraordinary creations.

The film traces the history of the indigenous Krahô tribe. She looks deeply into the fault lines of culture and freedom: the foreigner, female empowerment, the press, money, “black matter(s),” human rights, the artist in society, the Afro-American presence in American literature. The Un Certain Regard prize for best ensemble went to the Brazilian drama The Buriti Flower by João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora. These pages give us her searing prayer for the dead of 9/11, her Nobel lecture on the power of language, her searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., her heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. Here is the Nobel Prize winner in her own words: a rich gathering of her most important essays and speeches, spanning four decades that "speaks to today’s social and political moment as directly as this morning’s headlines” (NPR). But as a man, he learns to his cost that no armor or shield can truly protect his heart. One brother might offer salvation…but which? And in a world where life is worth less than the pleasures of the crowd or the whims of a master, can there be any room for love? As a gladiator, Anazâr defenses are near impenetrable. Perhaps it's because Marianus is truly remarkable: handsome, dignified, honorable, and seemingly as attracted to Anazâr as Anazâr is to him.īut a rivalry between Marianus and his brother sparks a murder conspiracy, with Anazâr and his gladiatrices caught in the middle. Anazâr has a scant two months to prepare them for the arena, and his new master demands perfection.Īnazâr is surprised by how eager he is to achieve it - far more eager than a man motivated only by self-preservation. His charges are demoralized and untested, and they bear the marks of abuse. Heidi Belleau was born and raised in small town New Brunswick, graduated with a degree in history from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and now lives outside of Edmonton, Alberta, with her tradesman husband and two kids. After an inconvenient display of mercy in the arena, the gladiator Anazâr is pulled from the sands and contracted to nobleman Lucius Marianus to train his new stable of female gladiators. She’s a great role model for young girls, and is a great way for girls to learn about an important era in our nation’s past. She’s a lovely girl, and one whose caring inspires the best in others. She does her best to help others and to put herself in their shoes. Though she’s privileged, Samantha is far from selfish. We see what life was like for a privileged little girl on the cusp of her tenth birthday. Through her story, we see how the country is changing through the Industrial Revolution and the women’s suffrage movement. She’s only eight months old right now, so that’s going to be a while! I already bought my niece the collection for when she’s old enough to read it. This collection, Samantha’s story, was my very favorite as a child. These books have been reprinted and renamed the BeForever series, but I was fortunate enough to find some of my favorites in these lovely collection editions. These books helped me experience life in America through a little girl’s eyes through multiple decades. I loved the American Girls series so much when I was a little girl. She is an MFA graduate of Lesley University and holds a BA in film and media studies from American University. So she came out of the closet in college, realized math and science weren’t so bad (but not for her), and decided she wanted to be a writer. Sara grew up feeling different in her private high school not only because of her ethnicity but also because of her liking girls romantically, her lack of excitement in science and math, and her love of writing plays and short stories. Her parents immigrated from Iran in the seventies, her father a surgeon and her mother a homemaker. Sara has been a Hollywood intern, a waitress, a comic book/record store employee, an art magazine blogger, a marketing temp, a Sara Farizan (1984, Massachusetts). the lazy: the author has the female characters give into being sex slaves extremely easily, like literal sex slaves, he even refers to them as such. the good: the MC manipulates people into making bad deals to stay alive the bad: most of these deals are with females end up feeling rapey. the MC makes "deals" with people in a world were these deals are inforced by gods. OK, so a bit spoilery but mostly just for a repeating plot. If Alex wants to keep living, to keep his soul from being sent to the darkest corner of hell, he'll have to ask himself that question. The better question is, how much would you take from others? How much would you give of yourself to live on in the world is an easy question. From things as simple as a meal to their very lives. That they could never speak of what they'd done.ĭeals for anything, and everything. It's not even a similar period in time, but from something long past in history.Īnd part of the deal to live again, is to make pacts with others. Except the world he's being sent to isn't the same one he came from. He can return to the land of the living, though his soul would belong to another. Luckily for him, he's about to be given a chance. Dead, and apparently with a one-way ticket to a place that only the worst of the worst go.Īll for a simple choice he made about a product his company owned. It taught me to be honest about myself.” Ferguson rarely references other celebrities, refreshingly avoiding name-dropping. Not just the view from the plane but about myself, where I am in the world and the extent of my abilities. “What flying taught me wasn’t just how to control an airplane,” he writes. Here, he directs his attention to some of his more memorable moments, including a conversation he had as a teenager with a young dying woman that has haunted him years later an interaction with an Australian bartender that brought his issues with drinking into sharp focus and confronting his fear of flying by taking flying lessons. The author covers some familiar ground from his previous memoir: his Scottish heritage, bouts with alcoholism and path to sobriety, marriages and children. In this follow-up of sorts to his 2009 memoir America on Purpose, comedian and former talk show host Ferguson has assembled an eclectic volume of introspective essays that broadly reflect on his life experiences and travels. A memoir in essays by the former host of The Late Late Show. There's a dark sophistication to it that sets it apart and makes it a delicious read. “An imaginative adventure unlike any other.
