Published in 1975, Giant-Size X-Men by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum was the first new X-Men story in five years, serving as a link between the original X-Men and a new team. Maybe these will be better in retrospect when their fallout starts coming to fruition later down the line. Can't complain on the art front at all.Ī good idea, not a great execution, but not too bad I guess? I expected a little more. The artwork is absolutely brilliant however - Russell Dauterman bookends the collection, pencilling both Jean Grey & Emma Frost and Storm, while Nightcrawler gets Alan Davis, Magneto gets Ben Oliver, and Fantomex gets Rod Reis (which I think might have been my favourite since The World offers up a lot of zanyness). I mostly enjoyed the fact that we got some spotlight on these characters since the X-Books can sometimes get a bit overcrowded, to say the least. The stories themselves are mostly solid, although Magneto's feels especially inconsequential since nothing actually happens in it that we've seen any feedback from in any of the X-Books since. The effect is.a little underwhelming I guess? Meanwhile Nightcrawler and Magneto's stories seem to be setting up stuff for later down the line. Three of these one-shots serve to tell one longer form story, with Jean Grey & Emma Frost, Fantomex, and Storm all forming a three-parter. These are.the Giant-Size X-Men! (They're just regular size, I'm kidding).

He re-creates the panic of a world that sees old traditions disappearing while the new are yet to be born. Eliot himself deliberately creates obscure and convoluted literary formats but provides extensive foot-notes to explain them, since the text itself is loaded with cultural, literary and deep psychological references. The bleak and depressing aftermath of destruction, the psychological impact on the survivors who cannot find their own moral compasses, the quest for peace and order are all portrayed through a series of vivid metaphors and allegories. The poem's main theme is the devastation that laid waste much of the West after the first terrible war. The deliberately fragmented form and unconventional line patterns make it unusual and interesting. Written after the moral and social crisis that gripped much of the world after the end of WWI, this poem was considered experimental and path-breaking for that era. Some of the lines have become familiar to many of us: “ April is the cruellest month.” “ I will show you fear in a handful of dust” and many more. It's one of those timeless works that seems to renew itself on each subsequent reading and you will find something new and unique every time. Whether you enjoy poetry or not, TS Eliot's The Wasteland is a work of literature that makes a rich, compelling, mystical and thought-provoking reading experience.

Okorafor lives in Arizona with her daughter. Akata Witch has been named an ALA Best Fiction Book for Young Adults, was nominated for a Nebula, and was an Best Book of the Year. She began winning awards for her short stories in 2001, and since then, her stories and novels have won various awards including Nebulas, Hugos, and the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa. But eventually, she began writing science fiction and fantasy anyway. Throughout her time as a student, during which she earned a master’s in journalism and English and a PhD in English, her professors discouraged her from writing science fiction. She underwent surgery for her scoliosis at age 19, became briefly paralyzed from the waist down, and began writing short stories during her time in the hospital. She spent her teenage years as a track and tennis star and also loved math and science, but a scoliosis diagnosis put her involvement in sports to an end. They took Okorafor to visit Nigeria often throughout her childhood and adolescence, though Okorafor was considered “too American” in Nigeria and “too Black” at home in the U.S. Okorafor’s parents immigrated to the United States both for their education and to escape the Nigerian Civil War.

Priya Parker is on a mission to help us take a deeper look at how anyone can create collective meaning in modern life, one gathering at a time. The setting is less metaphysical but no less suggestive and as opposed to the double focus of Clym and Eustacia, Henchard far exceeds Farfrae as a concentrator of aesthetic effect. But in The Mayor of Casterbridge, Hardy avoids committing again the artistic errors of The Return of the Native. The Return of the Native, for all its brilliance in conception and frequent brilliance in execution, presents a blurred aesthetic experience. In The Return of the Native, the setting has an uncertainness, as do the relationships between characters and between characters and their environment, which is not overcome by Hardy’s self-conscious elaboration of a potentially tragic situation. With The Mayor of Casterbridge, Hardy knew what to accept from tradition, and how to incorporate his borrowings into a vital structure. Hardy did not know what to do with all of the tragic tradition he inherited and tried to marshal in The Return of the Native, and the structure is overladen with reminders of analogies. If The Return of the Native can be thought of as a student’s idea of tragedy, with Hardy borrowing features from and alluding to classical stories, The Mayor of Casterbridge is perhaps best approached as the work of a man at once a schoolmaster and an innovator. The man said that he wanted to buy a house in Woodend and at the right time, there was a house that was sold because the owner was dead. A few weeks later, the man returned and met some of the villagers who had just left the church. People liked him even some women think that the man has an attractive appearance. When everyone has finished and left the church, he has left. Though the church is the most beautiful building in Woodend. But there is something strange, when people go to church, the man does not go there. He also met some villagers there and he asked for their names. The next day, the man wandered around to see the village that made him feel so interested in its history. Then she took the man to her neighbor to help him to stay for a night. However, a villager told him that in Woodend there is no hotel. He went to the house of a villager and politely he asked the whereabouts of the hotel in that place. One day, in late October 1964, a man arrived in a village in Woodend. Warner, who runs elections in West Virginia, toed the line for more than two years before going on a talk show this week to say he can “now firmly say” he believes the election was stolen. They persist in those views despite repeated investigations, audits and court cases concluding there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud or improper counting that could have changed the results in Donald Trump’s favor. Years after Democrat Joe Biden was declared the White House winner, Secretary of State Mac Warner and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey say they remain concerned his victory was not legitimate. But first, they have to sort out what happened in 2020. (AP) - Some Republican officeholders in West Virginia are already revving up campaigns for governor in 2024. The rest of the nursery rhyme, from which Christie purloined the title, is also subtly dropped into the story. The buckle on a shoe is both Poirot’s first insight and the book’s title. The young woman who did so appeared to consist chiefly of arms and legs.Ĭhristie neatly weaves clues into the story. It was a car of sporting build – one of those cars from which it is necessary to wriggle from under the wheel in sections. They were going down the steps of the house when a car drew up in front of it. Her writing is clear and precise, with exquisite attention to the characters, all described with quintessentially human disdain. ReviewĪgatha Christie tells an intriguing tale of deception and bluff as Hercule Poirot searches for the murderer. So begins an investigation into the death of a London dentist just before the start of the second world war. An open and shut case, or so the police tell the inquest. He had made a mistake and, upon realising it, rather than facing professional ruin, committed suicide. He had received an overdose of adrenaline and novocaine, causing his heart to stop.Ĭlearly, Dr Morley had delivered an anaesthetic that was too strong. When Hercule Poirot and the police tracked him down at his hotel, they discovered he was also dead. A visitor from Greece was the last patient to see Dr Morley alive. There was a bullet in his head and a pistol on the floor. After Hercule Poirot visits his dentist, the dentist was found lying dead in his surgery. |
