Okay, cutting the crap and getting down to the review. So, yeah, I can definitely see how it can be boring and how you’d rather watch football or something. I’m half asleep just thinking about her engaging plots and characters. Nothing can be more mundane than flowing, ornate sentences filled with imagery strong enough to physically transport you to the setting, right? And don’t get me started on that gorgeous historically accurate Victorian-style prose. Some think she’s boring and I totally understand that. ![]() Oh, Sarah Waters, the lesbian Charles Dickens. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was published as "Lost Laysen," a novella set in the South Pacific.

I still find it hard to believe, so strong are childhood impressions."

In a 1936 interview, she said of her upbringing: "In fact, I heard everything in the world except that the Confederates lost the war. However, the book and the film haven't aged well, due to racist language, stereotypical characters, and its romanticization of the Antebellum South and slavery - Mitchell chose to ignore the horrors of slavery for her own narrative. It was made into a movie in 1939 - when adjusted for inflation, it's still the highest-grossing movie of all time. It was published in 1936, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the next year. " Gone with the Wind" tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara, a young Southern woman living in the time of the Civil War, and later Reconstruction.

Imagine the powerful Roman Empire: encompassing vast territory from England to Spain and Africa, to Egypt, Arabia and Turkey. It was in the 2nd Century, during battles against Barbarian tribes in the Danube region near Hungary (not unlike the opening scene of "Gladiator"), when Aurelius wrote "Meditations." Whether or not you've heard of Stoicism, you've probably met one of its leading thinkers: Marcus Aurelius-he's the old emperor in the movie "Gladiator." :) You know, one of the classic Hellenistic philosophies-right there with Epicureanism and Cynicism. Not only is Marcus Aurelius one of my heroes, he's also one of history's leading Stoic Philosophers. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible." ~ Marcus Aurelius from "Meditations" "Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The section dealing with yogananda's western experiences includes a chapter on his great friend, luther burbank, and an account of the author's pilgrimage to bavaria in 1935 to meet therese neumann, the amazing catholic stigmatist. There are colorful chapters on the author's visits to mahatma gandhi, sri jagadis chandra bose, and rabindranath tagore. The subtle but definite laws by which yogis perform miracles and attain complete self-mastery are explained with a scientific clarity. Describing in vivid detail his many years of spiritual training under a christlike master-sri yukteswar of serampore, bengal-yogananda has here revealed a fascinating and little-known phase of modern india. This is the first time that an authentic hindu yogi has written his life story for a western audience. ![]() ![]() S, New York, NY 10016.ĬAREER: Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Ravenna, OH, child development worker, 1981–82 freelance writer of children's books, 1989–. ![]() Agent-c/o Author Mail, Orchard Books, 387 Park Ave. Politics: DemocratĪDDRESSES: Home-Kent, OH.

That kind of thing is distracting if it isn’t done well but the music here enhanced the story exponentially. If Mike was playing “America the Beautiful” in the text, a harmonica would play the song softly in the background, for example. What I really loved were the musical numbers by Corky Siegel. Each part has a different narrator and they each do a fabulous job. ![]() My Review:įirst of all, I loved listening to this audiobook. Told within the bookends of a fairy tale about three sisters lost in time, Echo explores the power of music to unite us and how our differences are cause for celebration rather than exclusion. Her harmonica gives her ties to her larger community, even though that community isn’t particularly welcoming to anyone who doesn’t appear to be American by birth. Ivy lives in southern California, the daughter of field workers of Mexican heritage in search of a better life. His harmonica just might offer them that chance. ![]() He and his younger brother are orphans, desperate to stay together. Mike lives in Pennsylvania as the war is breaking out. The birthmark on his face and a history of seizures at birth mean that his neighbors see him as “less than” the Aryan ideal. ![]() Friedrich works at a harmonica factory as Hitler is rising to power in Germany. Three children in WWII find that a harmonica with an unbelievably beautiful sound literally changes their lives.
