![]() Whitman’s attitudes about race have been described as “ unstable and inconsistent.” He did not always side with the abolitionists, yet he celebrated human dignity. After witnessing the auctions of enslaved individuals in New Orleans, he returned to Brooklyn in the fall of 1848 and co-founded a “free soil” newspaper, the Brooklyn Freeman, which he edited through the next fall. In 1848, Whitman left the Brooklyn Daily Eagle to become editor of the New Orleans Crescent for three months. He founded a weekly newspaper, The Long-Islander, and later edited a number of Brooklyn and New York papers, including the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. He continued to teach until 1841, when he turned to journalism as a full-time career. In 1836, at the age of seventeen, he began his career as teacher in the one-room schoolhouses of Long Island. ![]() Whitman worked as a printer in New York City until a devastating fire in the printing district demolished the industry. Largely self-taught, he read voraciously, becoming acquainted with the works of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and the Bible. In the 1820s and 1830s, the family, which consisted of nine children, lived in Long Island and Brooklyn, where Whitman attended the Brooklyn public schools.Īt the age of twelve, Whitman began to learn the printer’s trade and fell in love with the written word. He was the second son of Walter Whitman, a house-builder, and Louisa Van Velsor. ![]() ![]() Walt Whitman was born on May 31, 1819, in West Hills, on Long Island, New York. ![]()

The few things uniting its inhabitants are curiosity and gossip. Like most, this one is built on whispers, stories and hearsay. ![]() And yet, we accept this logic as we would in a dream: timelessness is a given, a condition of Kawakami’s compelling other-world.Įqually, this neighbourhood is not so unlike our own. It’s as though the passing of time in the neighbourhood doesn’t really fit with age or change in that way. Or maybe they started it as something else entirely. Not that things stay the same rather that as one thing disappears, another takes its place, and some things started life old. For instance, it seems as though our narrator is one of the only people to have aged in her neighbourhood. Kawakami’s world adheres to its own logic. People From My Neighbourhood evokes a world where everything overlaps and connects, but nothing touches. But the arbitrary reigns supreme, and connections are just what we choose to see. Sometimes the chapter titles only make sense in the final line of the story, and even then, we ask: why that detail? There are themes which link individual stories: gambling brings together the nineteenth and twentieth tales, “Lord of the Flies” and “The Baseball Game”, and curses run as a thread through the consecutive stories “Grandpa Shadows”, “The Six-Person Flats” and “The Rivals”. Each story is just three or four pages long. It’s like a dream woven from the fragments of a world seen from a window. ![]() ![]() ![]() I thought that the plot was wonderfully paced and everything flowed really well. Overall, I felt that each of the characters were developed just the right amount for their roles. That being said, I thought all of the characters were so wonderful! The main team were all very interesting to me, and all very different! Then the bad characters were also wonderful in their own evil ways. ![]() ![]() I especially enjoyed her banter with Martin Svoboda, who was my favorite character in the book. I really enjoyed all the situations that she got herself into, whether they were good or bad. Oh my gosh, Jazz Bashara was a hoot! I can see why her character may be a little much for some readers tastes, but I loved her! She was so sarcastic and had absolutely no filter. Let’s dive in!

Enraged, yet curious to witness the orgiastic rites of the nascent cult, Pentheus conceals himself in a grove on Mt. Notwithstanding the warnings of the seer Tiresias and the cautionary tale of a character Acoetes (perhaps Bacchus in disguise), who tells of how the god once transformed a group of blasphemous sailors into dolphins, Pentheus refuses to acknowledge the divinity of Bacchus or allow his worship at Thebes. This extract from Ovid's 'Theban History' recounts the confrontation of Pentheus, king of Thebes, with his divine cousin, Bacchus, the god of wine.

On display until May 29, the exhibition traces Laforet's life and creative career through more than two hundred pieces: unpublished manuscripts, documents, articles, family photographs, paintings, letters, audiovisuals, drawings, personal objects such as his typewriter, -a blue Olivetti-, his pen, and various editions of his other books, eclipsed by the importance of 'Nada'. ![]() In the 'Laforet Year' the Instituto Cervantes and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) dedicate the exhibition 'Next Destination' to her, which reviews the figure and work of the writer, claiming her as one of the most influential of the 20th century. Carmen Laforet (1921-2004) is much more than the author of 'Nada', the novel that shook the gray and lethargic post-war literary panorama and consecrated its young author with the Nadal Prize in 1944. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It well illustrates Hobbes’s theory that, “A multitude of men, are made one person, when they are by one man, or one person, represented so that it be done with the consent of every one of that multitude in particular” (Hobbes, Leviathan, I.16.13). One discovers, in this image, the notion of Sovereign Authority as an Artificial Person built up from the consent of the multitude of Natural Persons. In the grand center is the figure of the Sovereign King, whose body is both literally and figuratively constituted by the blurring-together individual bodies of the citizenry, the co- signers of the social contract, who face away from the viewer and towards the Sovereign. (following Hobbess usage) in gender-neutral meaning, with the excep. God and his power are incomprehensible to earthly humans thus, they cannot possibly enter into a contract with him. ![]() This iconic image offers multiple representations that provide the viewer with access to many of the core themes of the Leviathan: At the bottom are juxtaposed competing, or perhaps balancing, sources of Sovereign Authority-images of Ecclesiastical Authority (on the right) and Human/Temporal Authority (on the left). Thomas Hobbes famously argues in Leviathan (1651) that the state of nature is. Hobbes maintains that God’s power, including his voice, is infinite and cannot be understood by earthly ears, even if God’s voice could somehow be heard on Earth. The famous frontispiece of Hobbes’s Leviathan was inspired by the anamorphic art form, which originated during the Renaissance and remained popular during Hobbes’s lifetime in the 17th century.
