![]() ![]() This point is not simply a magnanimous expression of forgiveness toward an unworthy class of tyrants it is an insight into human nature. In the first section, “Life as a Slave,” Douglass establishes one of the book’s key themes: Slavery victimized everyone, from slaves to slaveholders. Douglass died in 1895, so this three-part autobiography, published in 1892, represents his most complete account of his life. ![]() The first two were published in 1881 10 years later, Douglass added the third. This is the story of both Douglass’s life and the times in which he lived.ĭouglass divides the book into three parts. As such, after the opening chapters, in which Douglass describes his grandparents and the mother he barely knew, readers will find few details about Douglass’s private life apart from very brief references to his two marriages and the death of his young daughter. Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is essentially a history of Frederick Douglass’s public life-that is, the points at which his life converged with the 19th century’s most momentous events and developments. ![]()

The older Sacklers could push through their generation’s light regulations in the advertising and promotion of their products. His database tracked what products doctors prescribed. His medical journal was distributed freely and extolled the benefits of these drugs. His advertising agency was the first to promote Librium and Valium. Arthur lived in the age of new wonder drugs, and he would both invent and profit from many of the dark arts of pharmaceutical marketing. These three were the older Sacklers.Īll the main Sacklers in both generations were medically qualified. The founder of the dynasty in the mid-20th century was the entrepreneurial genius Arthur, the eldest of three brothers. The Sackler saga reads like a legal thriller but truth is better than fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Light on the Hill by Connilyn Cossette | Editorial Reviews.Ship This Item - Qualifies for Free Shipping Buy Online, Pick up. 2020 Customers Also Bought Daughter of Rome.

I wish the screen time would be more aptly divided. I feel like Gryphon is the only one getting the right amount of time- not too much, not too little. The pacing slowed down immensely in the middle. I rate this four stars instead of five because-ġ. ![]() ![]() Her friendship with Sage is so endearing. ![]() She's not boring, not overbearing, and her sense of humour is really well written. I really wanted to see more of Nox and him on knees. I liked Gabe becoming tougher and the fact that the second half didn't have as much of Atlas as in the first half of the book. I want more of him in the next book, which by the cover of it seems like I will get it □ Gryphon won me over so easily in the second half, I swooned. Even tho they seem to be at odds, they work so well together in the story. I loved how easy and amazing the chemistry is between each character. This book starts off right where Broken Bonds ended and it did gain points from me for that. Savage Bonds has it all- drama, character development, a sweet delicious slow burn, spice, and a plot that keeps you entertained throughout. ![]() ![]() ![]() With their youngest son and daughter grown and living on their own, Oe and Yukari live in the house with their forty-four-year-old mentally disabled son Hikari. It’s set back from the street, hidden by an abundant garden of lilies, maple trees, and more than one hundred different varieties of roses. The Western-style house, designed by his wife Yukari, is in the same Tokyo suburb where Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune once lived. ![]() ![]() (Henry Kissinger, who stands for much of what Oe stands against, once remarked on his “devilish smile.”) Oe’s home, where he spends most of his time in the living room in a chair flanked by manuscript pages, books, and a plethora of jazz and classical CDs, is as comfortable and unpretentious as he is. ![]() Unfailingly modest and lighthearted, he dresses in sport shirts, fidgets a great deal, and smiles easily. Although he is known in Japan as much for being a gadfly activist as for being one of the country’s most celebrated writers, in person Oe is more of a delightful wag. Kenzaburo Oe has devoted his life to taking certain subjects seriously-victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the struggles of the people of Okinawa, the challenges of the disabled, the discipline of the scholarly life-while not appearing to take himself seriously at all. Interviewed by Sarah Fay Issue 183, Winter 2007 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With the recent 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th-century abolitionist movement, the world pays tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. ![]() In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action. Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st-century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He grimly announced the dire diagnosis: the girls were bewitched! And then the accusations began. The doctor tried every remedy, but nothing cured the young Puritans. In the little colonial town of Salem Village, Massachusetts, two girls began to twitch, mumble, and contort their bodies into strange shapes. Tackling the same twisted subject as Stacy Schiff's much-lauded book The Witches: Salem, 1692, this Sibert Honour book for young readers features unique scratchboard illustrations, chilling primary source material, and powerful narrative to tell the true tale. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you see ‘Sign in through society site’ in the sign in pane within a journal: Many societies offer single sign-on between the society website and Oxford Academic.

Strogoff is sent to Irkutsk to warn the governor about the traitor Ivan Ogareff. Rebels encircle Irkutsk, where the local governor, brother of the Tsar, is making a last stand. The Tartar Khan, Feofar Khan, incites a rebellion and separates the Russian Far East from the mainland, severing telegraph lines. Michael Strogoff, a 30-year-old native of Omsk, is a courier for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Davidow wrote, "Jules Verne has written no better book than this, in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written." Unlike some of Verne's other famous novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon is a plot device. ![]() Davidow, writing from Reading, Pennsylvania, in his 1937 introduction to The Spencer Press reprint as a volume in its "Classic Romances of Literature" series consider it one of Verne's best books. + Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar (French: Michel Strogoff) is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876. ![]() ![]() ![]() The movie also completely ignores his transfer to an island prison, and his overnight row in a stolen dinghy across a stormy sea to shore and his trek on land to Greece and freedom. Hayes says, he never delivered the blistering anti-Turkish speech in court that is a centerpiece of the film. ![]() Hayes never accidentally killed a prison guard, and, unlike his character in the movie, he did have a brief, physically intimate relationship with another inmate. Hayes and his story were among the toasts of the 1978 Cannes Film Festival, where he met Wendy West, his wife of 39 years. Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning but overheated, dated and xenophobic script for the movie took liberties. In the scripts first draft (and also in reality), Hayes was transferred to an island prison and escaped by rowing one night all the way back to the mainland. Midnight Express would go on to become a phenomenon. When his sentence was later increased to 30 years, he resolved to free himself. Arrested while boarding a plane with two kilograms, Mr. Hayes at 23 had thrice carried hashish to America from Turkey, before that country cracked down on airport security to demonstrate to the Nixon administration its commitment to the war on drugs.
