After reading Andrew Robinson’s excellent overview, in his book Lost Languages, of the still undecifered scripts of the ancient world, such as the Meroitic script of the ancient kingdom of Kush (south of Egypt), also known as Nubia, I’m struck by his ignorance of the Table of Nations in the Bible, where Kush is explicitly listed as a son of Ham (Khemet of Egypt). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When she goes missing, Penelope goes in search of her, and finds herself in a dangerous situation, a situation, that she can’t save herself from, despite her efforts, and when Benedict strolls in and does save her, she knows that her life is about to change, even if she doesn’t want to admit it.

Penelope is back in London, for another season, and feeling more alone than ever. Summary Penelope Weston, doesn’t care for Benedict too well, she doesn’t trust him, and still suffers hard feelings from the complicated situation that involved her sister. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Anne rice memnoch![]() ![]() ![]() Rolin Jones ( Friday Night Lights, Weeds), who recently signed an overall development deal with AMC Studios, will be directly involved in developing projects based on the Anne Rice catalog for television.

Loewen’s “Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong” was published in 1995 and became a favorite of students and former students as it challenged what Loewen considered a white, Eurocentric view of the past and the stale prose and bland presentations of classroom books. “Achieving justice in the present helps us tell the truth about the past.” “Telling the truth about the past helps cause justice in the present,” was his guiding principle, he wrote. ![]() ![]() ![]() A professor emeritus at the University of Vermont who lived in Washington, D.C., he had been diagnosed two years ago with Stage IV bladder cancer, enough time for him to post “Notes toward an obituary” on his website. Loewen’s publisher, New Press, announced that the author died Thursday at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Loewen, whose million-selling “Lies My Teacher Told Me” books challenged traditional ideas and knowledge on everything from Thanksgiving to the Iraq War, has died. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley![]() ![]() I am going to miss her terribly and I know many of my colleagues here and around the world will do so too.” He added: "I, and the whole team at Pan Mac, are so thankful to have been given the opportunity to go on this journey with her. Lucinda had an enormous capacity for fun, friendship and love and I was honoured to call her a friend." Popular fiction is often looked down on but when authors like Lucinda break through and strike an emotional chord with their readers that really is the joy of publishing. ![]() of Pan Macmillan’s adult publishing division, said: “It’s been an immense and very rare privilege to work with Lucinda. Her current book The Missing Sister (Macmillan) hit number one in the Original Fiction chart last week. She originally went into acting before becoming ill from a virus and then writing her first book aged 23, later taken on by a literary agent. Riley was born on 16th February 1966 in the village of Drumbeg, Ireland. Riley has been a published author for almost 30 years and continued even after being diagnosed with cancer. The global publishing community who worked with her over the last decade of her career have paid tribute to her life and work. Bestselling Irish author Lucinda Riley, best known for the Seven Sisters series, has died aged 55 after battling cancer for four years. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments 11.22 63 by stephen king![]() ![]() ’11/22/63′ showed that the past is rigid and tries to correct itself as much as possible. The past has happened and trying to change it risks creating an entirely different present and future. Jake soon realized this phenomenon when Sadie died in his arms after he successfully stopped Oswald. Jake realized that choice and time-traveling was a paradox because, when it came to erasing past events, one’s choice always backfired meaning, there was never a good side to making that choice. Jake soon realized that even though he had the power to change the past, his choices intended for good did not do good. Though he knew the repercussions of making changes to the past, he still chose to do them anyway by saving Harry Dunning’s family. Being a time-traveling book that focused on the characters and not the events of the past or the process of time-traveling and changing that past, ’11/22/63′ became a story that shows that trying to alter the past creates a dilemma that one would find impossible to wiggle out of especially because of the bond they have with people in that era.Ĭhoice is a theme in the story of ‘ 11/22/63.’ In the book, Jake made choices that directly influenced the present. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Gallipoli by Peter Hart![]() ![]() Author Peter Hart explains that It was a scheme rather then a well planned campaign and it was doomed from the start. It caused Great Briton to lose prestige which some say, was the first step in the unraveling of the empire. That remains Gallipoli's enduring appeal. The Gallipoli campaign is one of military history’s greatest disasters. He is at his best, however, in explaining and presenting the "near-superhuman courage and endurance" of the combatants. ![]() Ian Hamilton's on-the%E2%80%93spot fecklessness. Hart excoriates the haphazard romanticism of First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. The Turkish army, on the other hand, profited from its defeat in the Balkan War of 1911%E2%80%931912 and from its military relationship with Germany the Turkish army won the battle of Gallipoli even more than the Allies lost it, according to Hart. The often-overlooked French were effective, but poorly used on the Helles front. Troops were poorly trained and badly led. Such alleged strategic benefits as reducing pressure on Russia, says Hart, were largely ephemeral. But the human element still defines this compelling account of an operation Hart dismisses as a "lunacy that never could have succeeded," driven by wishful thinking as opposed to the professional analysis of ends and means. This book depends more on archival work and on recent Turkish and French research than Hart's earlier collaboration with Nigel Steelin, Defeat at Gallipoli. ![]() Hart, oral historian of Britain's Imperial War Museum, focuses on the Gallipoli campaign. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Well-behaved women”īack in 1976, in her first scholarly paper, Ulrich was reporting on her research of 17 th century New England women who were unknown except for being the subjects of funeral sermons highlighting their piety. This last sentence comes near the very end of Ulrich’s book, and it suggests why she came to write it. Details keep us from falling into the twin snares of “victim” history” and “hero history.” Details let us out of boxes created by slogans. That’s why details matter….Details help us understand the precise circumstances that allowed Artemisia Gentileschi to become an artist, or Harriet Jacobs a writer. The stories of famous women, Ulrich notes, have routinely been “appropriated for contradictory causes.” For instance, Queen Esther, the Biblical protector of the Jewish people, has been used as a model of political action and of political silence - of revolt and of submission. ![]() It is the book of a historian about the history of women that rejoices in details and eschews broad-brush statements. There is a beautiful embrace of complexity, a wonderful delight in ambiguity and amazements, to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s 2007 book of history, Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History. ![]() ![]() It does so in an obvious, in your face way, where metaphors are a thing of the past, and the author explicitly tells you what “lessons” you’re meant to walk away from the story with. Tell Me I’m Worthless is a transgressive horror novel that tackles a lot of themes. Rumfitt has a talented way of making her story leap from the page, selecting just the right words to illustrate a point, and creating a sense of madness in the reader, which she does from the very first page. I’m going to start off this review with a preface that the writing style is phenomenal. Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.Ĭutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I’m Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other. Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. ![]() Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. ![]() |
