This illustrated edition of "The Enchanted April" features beautiful illustrations that bring to life the charming and picturesque setting of the novel. "The Enchanted April" is considered one of her most popular works. She wrote several novels, including "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" and "Vera," and was known for her witty and insightful writing style.

Heligoland is Shena Mackay at her very best. Of Indian/Scottish parentage, orphaned, without family or friends, Rowena is in search of her own Utopia - or the Heligoland of her childhood imagination. Gus Crabb, a dealer in bric-a-brac, is the only other resident until, to the Nautilus, like a hermit crab seeking a home, comes Rowena Snow. Now, at the end of the century, only two of the original inhabitants still occupy their chambers - Celeste Zylberstein, joint architect with her late husband of the Nautilus, and Francis Campion, an elderly poet. Designed on Modernist and Utopian principles, it was a haven for a floating community of cosmopolitan refugees, intellectuals and artists. The Nautilus, a strange building shaped like the chambered shell of the same name, was built in South London in the early 1930s. 5/11/2023 0 Comments The inconvenient indian reviewI don’t think this book would work for someone who, say, is not so sympathetic or is actively labouring under the types of misconceptions that I hear all-too-often in Thunder Bay. I’m already sympathetic to these ideas and have a surface-level understanding of some of the challenges Indigenous people face as a result of colonialism. I approached this book as someone who is interested in gaining a deeper awareness of indigenous perspectives on indigenous issues. The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America is Thomas King’s attempt to make some kind of sense of the conflicting narratives and myths created about the European occupation of North America. We white people are very good at ignoring indigenous people-until we want their land, that is. And while this is reprehensible, it probably shouldn’t be surprising. In addition to the usual trolls, some people were writing hate speech motivated by a misconception of the state of indigenous peoples in Canada. Just last week, CBC News announced it was closing comments on articles about indigenous peoples, because at the moment, it cannot guarantee sufficient moderation to sustain polite discourse.

The Guelfs and the Ghibellines were the two major factions, and in fact that division was important in all of Italy and other countries as well. Renaissance Florence was a thriving, but not a peaceful city: different opposing factions continually struggled for dominance there. Politics as well as love deeply influenced Dante's literary and emotional life. Dante attributed all the heavenly virtues to her soul and imagined, in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy, that she was his guardian angel who alternately berated and encouraged him on his search for salvation. In fact, Beatrice married another man, Simone di' Bardi, and died when Dante was 25, so their relationship existed almost entirely in Dante's imagination, but she nonetheless plays an extremely important role in his poetry. He first saw the woman, or rather the child, who was to become the poetic love of his life when he was almost nine years old and she was some months younger. Dante Alighieri was born in the city-state Florence in 1265. Dante Alighieri, or simply Dante (May 14/J– September 13/14, 1321), is one of the greatest poets in the Italian language with the comic story-teller, Boccaccio, and the poet, Petrarch, he forms the classic trio of Italian authors. 5/10/2023 0 Comments A court of ruinNot sure where to start? Here are some discussion points that you can address if you’d like: From everything to the Suriel to what will come of the fae-human treaty, I want answers, and I want your thoughts! The more I think about it, the more things I want to talk about. So what do you think? A lot happened in A Court of Wings and Ruin. But, thankfully, we know Prythian (and the human lands) is safe at last. Mor, Helion, Lucien, Tarquin… I could go on and on naming characters I want to see with a happy ending. Feyre is our main character, our beautiful High Lady – but there are many stories intertwined with hers that make us fall in love even more. Tamlin isn’t quite the tool we thought he was… and Jurian surprises everyone. The king of Hybern is defeated by the raging Archeron sisters we see the true might of the healers of Prythian (those wings right?!).
