![]() ![]() Literary critic Martin Seymour-Smith said it is an "indictment of Danish indecision and lack of vitality, which Jensen saw as a national disease. During 19 he wrote his first masterpiece, Kongens Fald (translated into English as The Fall of the King in 1933), a modern historical novel centred on King Christian II. His career began with the publication of Himmerland Stories (1898–1910), comprising a series of tales set in the part of Denmark where he was born. The first phase of his work as an author was influenced by fin-de-siècle pessimism. After three years of studying he chose to change careers and devote himself fully to literature. While studying medicine at the University of Copenhagen he worked as a writer to fund his studies. He was born in Farsø, a village in North Jutland, Denmark, as the son of a veterinary surgeon and he grew up in a rural environment. One of his sisters, Thit Jensen, was also a well-known writer and a very vocal, and occasionally controversial, early feminist. ![]() He was awarded the 1944 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the rare strength and fertility of his poetic imagination with which is combined an intellectual curiosity of wide scope and a bold, freshly creative style". Johannes Vilhelm Jensen ( Danish pronunciation: 20 January 1873 – 25 November 1950) was a Danish author, known as one of the great Danish writers of the first half of 20th century. ![]() ![]() Urn:lcp:rhinocerospiecee00ione:epub:45ec5ead-8992-4fa8-97f8-a17b8884c096 Extramarc University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (PZ) Foldoutcount 0 Identifier rhinocerospiecee00ione Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6m05c10x Isbn 9782070368167Ģ070368165 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL22609329M Openlibrary_edition ![]() Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 16:09:28 Bookplateleaf 0004 Boxid IA156103 Boxid_2 CH110601 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City Donorįriendsofthesanfranciscopubliclibrary Edition External-identifier ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s this last element, hope, that can become “an electrifying force in the present,” Solnit writes, “a sense that there might be a door at some point, some way out of the problems of the present moment even before it is found or followed.”Īs activists and others work towards this door, they do so with the belief that there is still time to act and that the climate is worth fighting for. When we talk about any movement, including the push for climate action, we’re talking about a “zeitgeist, a change in the air,” writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit writes in her essay-turned-book Hope in the Dark, which focuses on the intersection of activism, social change, and hope. The climate movement is working incessantly to make this clear to everyone. ![]() And they are delivering a clear and consistent message: What has long been accepted as the status quo - expanding fossil fuels, investing in polluting industries, oil and gas propaganda, greenwashing, climate change denial, governmental delay in climate action - is simply not acceptable anymore. From throwing soup against paintings, to blocking roads, to striking for the climate, to stopping private jets from taking off, activists worldwide are pushing harder than ever for action to address global warming. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has appeared in episodes of many television series, including Curb Your Enthusiasm, Weeds, Friends, NYPD Blue, That '80s Show, Frasier, Will & Grace, as well as an episode of Grey's Anatomy (where Bucatinsky also serves as a consulting producer).īucatinsky also executive produced and acted in the 2005 HBO series The Comeback along with his producing partner, actress Lisa Kudrow. ![]() He is a graduate of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York.īucatinsky was the writer, producer and star of the 2001 romantic comedy All Over the Guy.

Not much is known about Bucatinsky's early life. ![]() ![]() ![]() By broadening the concept of reality, Auster has created a new kind of mimesis, which blends the representation of the actual with that of the potential. Ever since Aristotle, fiction has aspired to mimesis, to a recognizable representation of reality. But Auster’s latest novel is still unique. If counterfactuals are conveyed through the imaginative creation of alternative realities, all fiction may be considered counterfactual. ![]() In the vein of this Borgesian conceit, the time-line of Auster’s novel is also split into forking paths, deploying four different destinies of four protagonists by the same name, one of whom eventually turns out to be the author of the other three. The novel’s structural principle evokes Borges’ iconic story, “The Garden of Forking Paths”, where the Argentinian author toys with the idea of bifurcating time and parallel fictional lives. ![]() This premise dictates Auster’s narrative strategy, which involves the juxtaposition of four alternative versions of the protagonist’s character and life. 4 3 2 1 departs from the premise that “the real also consist of what could have happened but didn’t”. 4 3 2 1, Paul Auster’s 2017 novel, is a creative exploration of counterfactual thinking – thinking about what might have been. ![]() ![]() Last year brought us the eight-part dramatisation of her final, unfinished novel 'Sanditon'. That fame is based on a mere six novels, of which 'Mansfield Park' is by far the longest.Įnthusiasm for Austen’s work continues unabated. ![]() Jane Austen died two years after Waterloo, and her fame has increased steadily since. Mansfield Park revisited should appeal to lovers of Jane Austen and also those who have not read Mansfield Park, especially, perhaps, teenagers. After her cousin Tom trashes his father’s stately home, she goes back to her feckless mother, but that turns out badly. The heroine, called Franny in this version, is a shy and unhappy teenager. This novel fast-forwards Jane Austen’s characters into the twenty-first century and shows them behaving in the same ways, but facing different futures. ![]() Human nature hasn’t changed very much in two hundred years, but society has. She is bullied by her aunt, her relations treat her as a skivvy, and her beloved cousin is in love with a much more glamorous young woman. When Fanny is taken in by Sir Thomas Bertram’s family, she must behave as they want or risk losing her home. Yet a Jane Austen heroine had no choice but to obey certain rules. ![]() The heroine, Fanny Price, is meek and conventional. Mansfield Park is Jane Austen’s most controversial novel. ![]() ![]() The lounge space comes fully equipped with a cozy seating and dining area for guests to appreciate a “smackerel” or two.

Nor is she only the public Elizabeth: She reveals her most intimate thoughts and fears as she struggles to balance her needs as a woman against her duties as England's sovereign. When she died in 1603, having ruled for forty-five years, her empire was solvent, the Spanish Armada had been defeated, the Church of England had been firmly established, and the men she favored, such as William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, had made her reign the Golden Age still remembered today.In this brilliantly conceived novel, Miles uses her acclaimed skills as a storyteller and historian to bring to life the woman behind the myth of the "Virgin Queen." By turns imperious, brilliant, calculating, and insecure, this Queen Elizabeth is as vividly alive today as she was in her own time. Last in the line of succession to the English throne, Elizabeth inherited a country torn by religious differences, at war with Europe, and badly in debt. /rebates/2fbook-search2ftitle2fthe-maid-of-the-white-hands2ffirst-edition2f&. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() McKie was less impressed with Kingsolver’s portrayal, "almost to the point of overkill", of the Turnbow family’s poverty.
