Second, the detailed analysis of the lawyers commences, the main focus being on the negative side of their characters and behaviour. First, a brief summary of Dickens’ books from which the examples of lawyers have been chosen: Bleak House, Great Expectation. This work tries to find, identify and, hopefully, prove the existence of such good and worthy personal traits, skills and virtues under the hideous externals of Dickens’ lawyers. The main thesis of this essay is a question whether under the negative and repulsive surface of Dickens’ descriptions of lawyers there may not be something positive or valuable – either intended or unintended by Dickens. This essay explores Dickens’s descriptions of the lawyers a few most striking and exemplary characters are chosen in order to provide a general and consistent pattern of Dickens’ treatment of the members of the legal profession. Not only does Dickens seem to vilify individual lawyers, attorneys, law clerks, barristers and solicitors, moreover, he appears to apply his criticism to the whole law system of his time, Victorian England. With a few exceptions, they are portrayed as vile and abominable creatures – both in their appearance and deed. Dickens is consistent in the manner of his description of them: he seems to state a highly critical opinion of the legal staff – at least on the surface. The World of Dickens’ works is teeming with more or less negative characters of members of the legal profession.

This beautiful book includes essays on her life and career a discussion of her personal and artistic relationship with her father a summary of critical writings and an overview of the wide range of approaches to Artemisia’s work since her rediscovery by feminist art historians more than 50 years ago a more personal insight into Artemisia through her letters a discussion of the artist’s self-representation in her work and an essay dedicated to her painting technique. Today they are recognized for their dramatic power and originality, showing Artemisia to be one of the most compelling storytellers of her time. Often featuring heroic female subjects, her paintings were predominantly intended for private clients. Her career spanned more than 40 years, as she moved between Rome, where she was raised and trained by her father, Orazio Gentileschi, to Florence, where she gained artistic independence and became the first female member of the city’s academy of artists, and to Venice, London, and Naples. The catalogue accompanying the blockbuster exhibition at The National Gallery, London, which The Guardian has called 'epochal' and 'superbly curated'Īrtemisia Gentileschi (1593–1654 or later) is the most celebrated woman artist of the baroque period in Italy. Among the joys (especially for a writer, and exuberantly communicated on every page): An inexhaustible trove of words to collect and treasure the possibility of accessing a completely novel way of understanding the world and the possibility of fashioning a completely novel self in that world. Among the difficulties: How language learning outside the ultra-plastic state of childhood places one in the posture of perpetual code-cracking sleuth the way in which new grammars may also present unfamiliar ways of understanding time and how even conversational facility, once achieved, gives one little purchase on written fluency. Originally written in Italian and translated by Ann Goldstein, the book describes Lahiri’s decades-long quest to learn that language, distilling from the experience some universal truths. In Other Words, Jhumpa Lahiri’s new memoir, is first and foremost a rare record of the joy and difficulty of learning a foreign language as an adult. In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri, translated by Ann Goldstein The company sources from about 3,000 farmers who tend more than a million trees planted in “forest gardens.” Selling the tea leaves to Runa has created a new source of income for the villagers, who are now getting paid to keep their forests intact, helping them resist the pressure of selling their land to be cleared. “Now guayusa is helping us economically,” farmer Silverio Mamallacta says in a video posted on the website of Runa LLC, a company named after the villagers and the only one selling the tea. The villagers, who call themselves Runa-which translates to “fully alive”-believe drinking guayusa both awakens the body and provides time for reflection of dreams experienced the night before. The naturally caffeinated, earthy beverage is part of an early morning ritual fundamental to the Kichwa culture. In the lush green rainforest of the Ecuadorean Amazon, members of the Kichwa indigenous group gather well before dawn to drink guayusa tea.

Join us for a true tale that is equal parts inspiring, dramatic, and heartbreaking. They discuss how Christine was a deeply loved role model and how her life was one of constant achievement mixed with personal tragedy. Joined in conversation by climber Mark Gunlogson, Garton takes us from Boskoff’s early years as a Lockheed engineer, through her first successes in the climbing world, to her purchase of Seattle-based Mountain Madness after owner and climber Scott Fischer died in the 1996 Everest disaster. In this livestreamed conversation, Garton talks about her book Edge of the Map: The Mountain Life of Christine Boskoff, which traces the sharp twists and turns in Boskoff’s life. Author Johanna Garton joins us to share why she was drawn to telling Boskoff’s story. How did a girl from a small Midwestern town become one of the world’s top female alpinists, a record holder for the most 8000-meter peaks climbed by an American woman? Christine Boskoff was at the top of her career when she and her partner died in an avalanche in 2006. Sprinkle the remaining nuts on top and wait for it to cool. Wait a few minutes for the chocolate to soften, then smooth it over the candy with a spatula. Pour the syrup over everything.Īfter you’ve poured the syrup over the nuts and chocolate, then spread the remaining chocolate over the syrup. Spread half of the nuts (toasted to bring out the best flavor) over a sheet of parchment paper, then spread half of the chocolate that you’ve broken up either by hand or in a food processor. If it snaps crisply, it’s done, so you can pour the syrup over the nuts and chocolate. If it’s still pliable after you’ve dropped it in the water, it’s not done. I found mine broken in a drawer, so I had to rely on another way to gauge whether it was ready - dropping a bit from a wooden spoon into a glass of ice water. If you have a candy thermometer, you’re one step ahead of the game. Conversely, if you don’t cook it enough, it will be too soft and won’t have that crunch you associate with toffee. The hardest part is making the toffee, because it can easily burn if you’re not keeping an eye on it. It makes a lot, so you’ll have plenty for passing to sweets lovers. Looking for a last minute gift for friends, neighbors or relatives? You still have time to make this, and it’s really great to give away - not just because it’s delicious and a nice thing to do at holiday time, but also because it’s so darn addictive, you’ll have to get it out of the house before you eat it all.

He added that the slippers have become "one of the great national icons of America." "The ruby slippers are among the most requested objects when visitors come to the museum," Ryan Lintelman, curator for entertainment at the museum, told EW in 2019. That includes a mismatched pair at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Garland, who famously played Dorothy Gale in the classic 1939 film, wore several pairs of ruby slippers during production, four of which have survived. Janie Heitz, the executive director of the Judy Garland Museum, told the Associated Press that she and the museum's staff were "a little bit speechless" that someone had been charged after so many years.

'Heart-stopping and chilling-Amity will haunt you long after the last page.' -Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times best-selling author Unbreakable & coauthor of Beautiful Creatures 'Calling to mind that Stephen King feeling, Ostow brings the most horrifying house in the world to life with chilling intimacy.' -Danielle Paige, New York Times best-selling author of Dorothy Must Die Inspired by a true-crime story, Amity spans generations to weave an overlapping, interconnected tale of terror, insanity, danger, and death. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a violent end as she's done before. She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. But with her history, who would ever believe her? And what could be done if they did?īecause Amity isn't just a house. Instead, she's haunted by lurid visions, disturbing voices, and questions about her own sanity. Ten years later, Gwen's family moves to Amity for a fresh start. Dreams he could make real, with Amity's help. When Connor's family moves to Amity, a secluded house on the peaceful banks of New England's Concord River, his nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons. Here is a house of ruin and rage, of death and deliverance. "It exuded this particular scent also that was supposed to attract other kakapos," he says. Stolzenburg tells NPR's Renee Montagne that because its only predators were in the sky, the kakapo had no need to fly and, therefore, couldn't. One species Stolzenburg focuses on is the kakapo, a large, green, nocturnal parrot that is found only in New Zealand. In Rat Island: Predators in Paradise and the World's Greatest Wildlife Rescue, Stolzenburg gives an account of the damage done to island ecosystems by invasive species like cats, weasels and rats - all animals that have at one point overrun new island environments and nearly destroyed native species. But, as author William Stolzenburg writes in a new book, isolation can also be a weakness. The very word connotes isolation - an isolation that has allowed pockets of animal species to evolve in safety over the course of thousands of years.
