I lay awake, wondering once again who would be the first to give in: my mother, because she'd finally realize that her only son was far more important than a bearded dentist, or me, because I'd get tired of my leaden heart and beg her to let me come home. Angus was humming in his sleep, some tune he was practizing for the choir. ![]() It was on my sixth night that I realized homesickness was going to be the least of my worries. ![]()

Tolkien, Signed By The Illustrator, Ted Nasmith. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Business journalist Charles Fishman’s purpose is to synthesize all the critiques into one overarching analysis of “the Wal-Mart effect,” that is, how the company “gets those low prices, and what impact the low prices have far beyond Wal-Mart’s shelves and beyond our own wallets: the cost of low prices to the companies that supply Wal-Mart, and to the people who work for those companies.” ![]() Like the blind men who tried to assay the elephant in the fable, many have touched on different aspects of the mega-retailer. And in the 230 years since Smith penned those famous words, society has learned to question his narrow vision of “the sole purpose of all production.”Īs books like this demonstrate, Wal-Mart is the elephant in the room that no one is ignoring. His dream was a variant of Adam Smith’s assertion in The Wealth of Nations: “The sole purpose of all production is to provide the best possible goods to the consumer at the lowest possible price.” The variation stems from the qualifier “best possible”: Walton’s obsessive quest never extended to quality. Sam Walton had a dream: find out what people want and sell it to them for less. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Nana zola pdf![]() My duty is to speak out, not to become an accomplice in this travesty. ![]() Dare to tell the truth, as I have pledged to tell it, in full, since the normal channels of justice have failed to do so. And now the image of France is sullied by this filth, and History shall record that it was under your presidency that this crime against society was committed.Īs they have dared, so shall I dare. A court martial, under orders, has just dared to acquit that character, Esterhazy, the supreme insult to all truth and all justice. But what filth this wretched Dreyfus affair has cast on your name, or, might I say, your reign. You are radiant in the patriotic glory of our country’s alliance with Russia, you are about to preside over the solemn triumph of our World Fair, the jewel that crowns this great century of Labor, Truth, and Liberty. ![]() Unscathed by the vilest slander, you have won over the hearts of all. Would you allow me, grateful as I am for the kind reception you once extended to me, to show my concern about maintaining your well-deserved prestige and to point out that your star which, until now, has shone so brightly, risks being dimmed by the most shameful and indelible of stains. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Only you can save mankind![]() ![]() Hed seen on TV that it took three thousand years to get to Alpha Centauri. Because, he said, it happened in real time, which no-one had ever heard of until computers. Wobbler had written an actual computer game like this once. Theres an important word in that sentence, said the Captain. There was the entire computer games software industry engaged in a tremendous effort to stamp out piracy, and there was Wobbler. It was just because you had the joystick and there was the Fire button and that was what it was for.Īfter all, there wasnt a Dont Fire button.īasically, there were two sides to the world.

When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn’t agree more…and they know just the man for the task. The brilliant detective fought his way off the streets and into a promising career through sheer force of will and a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn’t peculiar…she’s pandemonium. With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas and an unabashed love of experiments and explosives, society has labeled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar…and doesn’t know she’s one of the Hell’s Belles-a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London. New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hell’s Belles novel about a chaotic bluestocking and the buttoned-up detective enlisted to keep her out of trouble (spoiler: She is the trouble). ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments The double saramago![]() ![]() (Apparently he died at Las Palmas, which I visited as a small child en route to Africa. Wikipedia tells me that he came to the attention of Portuguese censors late in his life, and moved to Spain to avoid interference on religious grounds. Saramago (1922-2010) was a Portuguese author: he wrote novels, plays and journalism and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. He becomes consumed by anxiety about this double, and his quest to deal with the problem of who owns his identity is, in the hands of this master storyteller, a remarkable story. ![]() It’s the story of a most ordinary man, a teacher of history, who one night, watching a video, sees himself as he was five years ago on the screen. The Double, by José Saramago, is very entertaining reading. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder![]() Snyder’s work is part of this transformation, starting with the very term he chooses to refer to his object of study: from his introduction, he tells us that he wants to offer a “human geography of the victims” in this Eastern-Oriental space where the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany came to dominate and confront each other. Geography took over once more from a political differentiation between two ideological “blocks”. ![]() ![]() Does anyone remember this? After 1989, people spoke less and less about “Eastern Europe”, and more and more about Central and Eastern Europe: the former division of the old continent into East and West was forgotten. It seems as though he has catalysed a new collapse inside his readers: not of a physical wall, but of “mental walls” – or at least, he seems to have managed to open up some substantial holes in them. ![]() Some twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Timothy Snyder’s work is contributing to the transformation of our conceptions of Europe’s recent history. There are some books which change the way we look at a period in history: Bloodlands is one of them.
