![]() But her physical scars are nothing compared to those on her psyche, left by her mother's suicide when Anna was a teenager. Rolfe's daughter, Anna, is a world-class violinist attempting to rebuild her career after an accident that nearly destroyed one of her hands. He's released through some diplomatic string-pulling, but he soon discovers that Rolfe had requested a meeting with Israeli intelligence, for reasons unknown, just before his death. When Gabriel tries to leave Zurich, the Swiss police capture him immediately-and moreover, they know his real identity. Gabriel is sent to Zurich under a pseudonym to restore a Raphael belonging to a prominent Swiss banker and art collector, Augustus Rolfe, but upon arriving he finds Rolfe lying in a pool of blood. ![]() The English Assassin brings back Gabriel Allon, the appealingly melancholy art restorer with a double life as an Israeli secret agent, first introduced in 2000's The Kill Artist. ![]() ![]() ![]() A Young Adult Book Blog but expanding to cover more titles. ![]() Whiter Than White|G, Running For Girls Like Us|Gloria Safar, City Water, City Life: Water and the Infrastructure of Ideas in Urbanizing Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago|Carl Smith, Peirce's Philosophy of Communication: The Rhetorical Underpinnings of the Theory of Signs (Bloomsbury Studies in American Philosophy)|Mats Bergman10().

Stories and dreams occurring in this land of fiction symbolize the healing power of the imaginary. ![]() The journey to, and on, the sea waters that cover a large portion of Kahani depicts an entirely different dimension of reality. Haroun, the child protagonist, travels from the world of apparent everyday reality (represented by planet Earth) to a Moon world called Kahani. In the former, the author introduces different worlds that are nevertheless interconnected, each with a reality of its own. This is true also for Rushdie ’s two works for children, Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1991) and Luka and the Fire of Life (2010). Protagonists who find themselves immersed in bodies of water, be it in Midnight’s Children (1981) or The Satanic Verses (1988), are not the same people when they come out of them (if they do). As in works by other Indian writers, water as a symbol plays a crucial role in several novels by Salman Rushdie, the imagery being rooted in the Hindu worldview. ![]() ![]() ![]() The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives.

A 1969 summary in the Los Angeles Times proclaimed that “Blood Sweat & Tears just may be the most important pop music group of the decade”. It featured three hit singles, “You Made Me So Very Happy” “And When I Die”,” and “Spinning Wheel” as well as an irresistible rendition of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless The Child” that became a signature song for David. It won an unprecedented five Grammy awards, including Album Of The Year and Best Performance By A Male Vocalist. The self-titled record topped the Billboard album chart for seven weeks, and charted for a staggering 109 weeks. His 1968 debut album with Blood Sweat & Tears sold 10 million copies worldwide. In 2010 David received his star on Canada’s Walk Of Fame. In 1996 he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and in 2007 his jazz/rock composition “Spinning Wheel” was enshrined in the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame. David Clayton-Thomas began his amazing journey as a homeless street kid and developed into one of the most recognizable voices in music, to date selling over 40 million records. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the things I like about this book is it gave readers a glimpse into Pakistani cutlure. I do understand though that while these kinds of arrangements are common in most conservative societies, not all people have the same view as Naila’s family. This is a book close to my heart, since I have somehow witnessed firsthand how this kind of culture really works. And most of the time, people don’t really have a choice with what their parents say about it. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed-her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. And until then, dating-even friendship with a boy-is forbidden. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. ![]() Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up-but they will choose her husband. Has Naila’s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her own destiny? This heart-wrenching novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage.

The sonnet, like so many of Keats's poems, has a tragic tone as we look back on it. By the end, we see that Keats has had a new encounter with the power of imagination. Really, though, the poem grows bigger than just a book review. Actually, it's not even a new book, just a translation-George Chapman's version of Homer's work (check out more about Homer here). (They did lots of other stuff too- check it out.) This sonnet proclaims the virtue and beauty of a book he'd read. Keats is a Romantic poet, meaning he wrote passionately about his emotions and personal experiences. ![]() So what does he do with all that excitement? He writes a poem, of course. John Keats is twenty-one years old and standing at the edge of a greatness he feels sure he will achieve. ![]() ![]() On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer Introduction ![]() |
