While it raged, colonial armies pursued enemy Indians through the swamps and woods of New England, and Indians attacked English farms and towns from Narragansett Bay to the Connecticut River Valley. The war spread quickly, pitting a loose confederation of southeastern Algonquians against a coalition of English colonists. Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war."It all began when Philip (called Metacom by his own people), the leader of the Wampanoag Indians, led attacks against English towns in the colony of Plymouth. Winner of the the 1998 Ralph Waldo Emerson Award of the Phi Beta Kappa Society King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war-colonists against Indians-that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history. ![]()

Mark Anderson's critical apparatus brings together a wide variety of analyses of the existential story, ranging from the psychological vantages of Sacher-Masoch and Nietzsche to focuses of Kafka's relationship to animals, Judaism, and photographs. ![]() In her new translation of Kafka's masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsa's grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment. The Metamorphosis is the story of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Franz Kafka's 1915 novella of unexplained horror and nightmarish transformation became a worldwide classic and remains a century later one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Years after Psyche’s ruinous disappearance, Orual wants to tell her side of the story and hold the gods accountable.

That time spent eventually translates to skill, and when skill improves, results improve. “ Passion for something leads to disproportionate time practicing or working at it.“ Everyone has one person who either means the most to them or was the first to influence, train, or manage them.”.“Find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls.”.“When one thing, the right thing, is set in motion, it can topple many things.“… extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.”.“Where I’d had huge success, I had narrowed my concentration to one thing, and where my success varied, my focus had too.”.“What’s the ONE Thing you can do this week such that by doing it everything else would be easier or unnecessary?”. ![]() ![]() ![]() This occurred on the evening of October 17, 1954, in the Nob Hill apartment of Sheila Williams, Ginsberg's girlfriend at that time, with whom he was living.

It’s a complete exhalation: the outward breath of the storyteller as he takes us through his visions. The novel is set as a flashback played through the throaty timbre of a didgeridoo. After attending the death of a teenager, he is reminded of a pivotal point in his youth: the summer when he surfed Old Smoky, the biggest, most dangerous wave on the Point, dodged a shark, fell in love, and found and lost friendship. ![]() The protagonist, Bruce Pike is an ambulance driver whose grasp of death and the many pathways to death is just a little too astute for comfort. It would be fair to call Breath a surfing novel, as it is infused with the ocean, breaking waves, and the riding of the board. Dreams, the sea, the sky, and desire seem to pervade the story, taking it closer, deeper and making it more powerful than a synopsis could convey. One of the hallmarks of Tim Winton’s work is the way he seems to achieve a sparse poetic intensity in the midst of a compelling and even simplistic storyline. ![]() 29 April 2009, ISBN: 9780143009580, RRP: $24.95, Paperback, 268 pagesĪudio excerpts and more information about the book can be found here: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To postpone having to pay his debt to the loan shark Devi, he uses several of his more prized possessions as collateral before setting off.Ĭount Threpe arranges for Kvothe to travel by ship to the city of Severen, in Vintas, in order to aid the Maershon Lerand Alveron in courting the only bride suitable for his high station, Meluan Lackless, with the hope that Kvothe might earn a writ of patronage in return.
