Then he recounts a brilliant and innovative public relations campaign, as Lincoln took the speech "on the road" in his successful quest for the presidency. Holzer describes the enormous risk Lincoln took by appearing in New York, where he exposed himself to the country's most critical audience and took on Republican Senator William Henry Seward of New York, the front runner, in his own backyard. Lincoln at Cooper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President (Simon & Schuster Lincoln Library) (English Edition) eBook : Holzer, Harold. Delivered in New York in February 1860, the Cooper Union speech dispelled doubts about Lincoln's suitability for the presidency and reassured conservatives of his moderation while reaffirming his opposition to slavery to Republican progressives.Īward-winning Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer places Lincoln and his speech in the context of the times - an era of racism, politicized journalism, and public oratory as entertainment - and shows how the candidate framed the speech as an opportunity to continue his famous "debates" with his archrival Democrat Stephen A. Lincoln at Cooper Union explores Lincoln's most influential and widely reported pre-presidential address - an extraordinary appeal by the western politician to the eastern elite that propelled him toward the Republican nomination for president.

By and large, I do not love Sherlock Holmes media and would likely not have read Angel of the Crows if I had known that it is a piece of Sherlock Holmes media. As a gesture of intellectual broad-mindedness and public spirit, I have generously conceded that I will watch any Sherlock Holmes adaptation in which Natalie Dormer is the Holmes guy but as yet nobody has agreed to make such a show. I would have watched a lot more of it if Natalie Dormer had been the co-lead with Lucy Liu. So the matter as it stands is that I have never enjoyed a piece of Sherlock Holmes media, with the exception of Elementary, which I watched for two seasons. Tl dr I liked a lot of things about The Angel of the Crows but a few other things, most notably how the book talks about asexuality, caused me to inhale sharply through my teeth and pinch the bridge of my nose for ten hours in a row After the successful completion of her studies in 1994 (with a production of Béla Bartók's opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle in her parish church and in the Kunsthaus Tacheles, she spent some time at first as an assistant director at the opera house in Graz, where in 1997 she did her own productions of Schoenberg's Erwartung, Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle and a world premiere of her own piece Cats Have Seven Lives. In 1990 she changed her studies to Music Theater Director (studying with, among others, Ruth Berghaus, Heiner Müller and Peter Konwitschny) at the Hanns Eisler Music Conservatory. She then completed a two-year apprenticeship as a bookbinder before working at several theaters as props and wardrobe supervisor.įrom 1988 to 1990 Erpenbeck studied theatre at the Humboldt University of Berlin.

Jenny Erpenbeck (born 12 March 1967 in East Berlin) is a German director and writer. The deep ocean around Antarctica is a special place for several reasons. And while we didn’t face anything like the physical hardships endured by early polar explorers on land, those dives did give us the opportunity for some unique science. Thanks to the crew of the research ship Alucia, we dived in minisubmarines to 1km deep in the Antarctic for the first time. So I jumped at the chance to join a team from the BBC on an expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula for Blue Planet II, to help them as a scientific guide. Fast-forward more than a century – and the deep ocean floor around Antarctica still offers a “white space”, beyond the reach of scuba divers, only partially mapped in detail by sonar from ships and seldom surveyed by robotic vehicles. “It has always been our ambition to get inside that white space, and now we are there the space can no longer be blank,” wrote the polar explorer Captain Scott, on crossing the 80th parallel of the Antarctic continent for the first time in 1902. Society is changing, suffragettes are just around the corner, communism is breaking consciousness, paleontology has just become a thing, and England is at the peak of its power, and yet people still fear sea serpents. It is the steam era, fresh in the newness of electricity and germ theory, but not yet in the throws of the automobile. It is the late 1890’s and the world is making startling jumps in technology and society. Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston in The Essex Serpent (2022) Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston headline an impressive cast, in a period piece production that finds beauty in all the bleakness in Essex marshes. It is a parable of faith, science, and the collision of the advances in society running headlong into long-held folkloric superstitions. The Essex Serpent is a cryptid tale that explores a time and place of great change both in society and in the lives of all the characters involved in the tale.

Alan Mitchell was born in Newark and raised in Linden, New Jersey. After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes, then to Europe and Asia. Neruda, a communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. From there, his memoir follows his travels as a globetrotting Chilean consul-including a stint in Spain during its civil war, and in Mexico, where he attracted attention for aiding a man suspected of conspiring to assassinate Leon Trotsky-and his short-lived service as a Chilean senator. A motherless, pensive child in the wild, he began writing poems long before quitting the countryside for Santiago, where he spent his bohemian student years. Southern Chile was an open frontier when the beloved poet Pablo Neruda was born there in 1904. If you think you know how to write correctly and express yourself on paper, you’ll want to think again! These lessons will have you reconsider your punctuation marks and get the best out of your writing skills.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss talks about the importance of keeping grammar intact in our writing and ensuring that society keeps track of the right punctuation rules.įrom periods to commas, exclamation marks, and apostrophes, the author touches base with them all and provides an easy-to-follow guide about grammar rules and punctuation marks.

There are many books out there that talk about a multitude of topics. 1-Sentence-Summary: Eats, Shoots & Leaves offers a humorous, yet instructive overview of how punctuation rules play a huge part in our writing language and how today’s society has become overly relaxed about using the right punctuations marks, leaving grammar-concerned people like her frustrated. 1) Ariel was sassy and disobeyed her parent(s). Mainly, because my parents didn't want me seeing it for two reasons. Partly because I wasn't alive when it was in theaters. Many thanks to Disney for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review There is a reader for every book, sadly, I just wasn't the reader for this one. Then again, I could end up being completely in the minority opinion on this, so, bottom line, if this sounds interesting to you, pick it up! I think for people who are hella nostalgic over that movie, this book just won't have the right tone. I think maybe if you aren't as familiar with The Little Mermaid animated Disney film, you may actually enjoy this one more. It was just the story focus was much more political and there were odd little details everywhere. Y'all, Ursula slays, so I am fine with that. It began years after the final events of The Little Mermaid, the twist being that Ursula had won and was now married to Prince Eric. Then one plot element will change, be 'twisted', and the rest of the book will explore what could have happened following the new plot twist. The other books I have read in the series follow the events of the Disney movies fairly closely in the beginning. The format of this one worked against it as well, IMO. I finished the lastest edition to the Twisted Tales line-up, Mirror, Mirror, last month and really enjoyed it.Ĭompared to that one, which does have a different author, this one felt very flat and forced. It makes me sad because I really love this Twisted Tales series as a whole. |
