![]() ![]() In the story, Conrad wrestles with the moral and ethical implications of Western involvement in foreign lands - a subject with which many U.S. The novella is relevant to those who lead or may lead military operations overseas and to those senior policymakers who send them there. Indeed, perhaps his most well-known and widely read work, the classic novella Heart of Darkness, is problematic, to say the least, because of how he depicts the Africans in the story.Īgainst this backdrop, and during a time of renewed focus on social and racial justice in America, Heart of Darkness could be rejected as not worth reading or as unhelpful to military leaders today. His treatment of this relationship in his fiction is keenly incisive, yet contains flawed and insensitive portrayals of indigenous peoples. ![]() Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857 to Polish parents in Ukraine, his journeys to the far corners of the earth gave him a firsthand view of late 19th-century European interaction with many foreign cultures in the colonized world. Joseph Conrad had a long career as a merchant mariner before he ever ventured to write fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This Cinderella was merely of a different generation, a heroine in the vein of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela and Jane Austen’s Anne Elliot and Elinor Dashwood. But Cinderella was such a character herself, suffering hard labor and loneliness in the name of showing her virtue, humility and warm heart, which would make her ultimate triumph emotionally satisfying. “ all throw up suffering and see what our characters are made of,” pointed out Carson Levine. Gone are the days of heroines who sleep through most of the story or wait silently for other characters to move the plot forward ― but stories have certainly been told about such women. For the reader, at least modern readers, it definitely makes for more engaging reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Snail and the Whale is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship from the unparalleled picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. This brilliant story of unlikely friendship and life-changing adventure has been brought to life on BBC One in an animation starring Sally Hawkins, Rob Brydon, Cariad Lloyd and Dame Diana Rigg. But when disaster strikes and the whale is beached in a bay, it's the tiny snail's big plan that saves the day! Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins, and the little snail feels so small in the vastness of the world. One little snail longs to see the world and hitches a lift on the tail of an enormous whale. ![]() ![]() ![]() One is destined to go down in history and the other to be forgotten.

Eventually his reputation would increase allowing him to return to Paris where he gained the patronage of Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, the brother of the King of France, Louis XIV. It was during this period that Molière would refine his skills as both an actor and a writer. Joining these theatrical companies would have been impossible for a new member of the acting profession like Molière and thus he performed with traveling troupes of actors in the French provinces. When Molière began acting in Paris there were two well-established theatrical companies, those of the Hôtel de Bourgogne and the Marais. Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known popularly by his stage name Molière, is regarded as one of the masters of French comedic drama. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are some of my favorite quotes from it: ![]() It addresses issues like perfectionism, creative blocks, and motivation. ![]() If you are in need of some motivation and don't have time to read The Artist's Way series (which, by the way, I also recommend), it's perfect for you. Carry it in your backpack, put it in your purse, or on the back of your toilet. It's an easy read, barely over a hundred pages. You could cross out the title word Art and write LOVE & Fear, and the same concepts apply. Earn it.Įverything I read in this book could also apply to the art of relationship. Stop coveting other peoples talent, skills, lessons. In talking about other's "magic" in their work the authors write: "Their magic is theirs. The writers explore the human need for acceptance, fear of failure, communication sensibilities between your work and yourself versus your work and the outside world. Specifically, it uses art and fear to talk about how our choice to have courage or not drives the degree of light you will manifest in your own life. What I love about this book is that it uses art to talk about life. I reread the margin notes that I've written at various times.
