After a middle-English upbringing and eight formative years as a teacher in Hiroshima, David Mitchell came back from Japan not merely armed with a repertoire of writerly skills that had his peers either loudly singing his praises or silently spitting with envy.

Infighting within LGBT+ groups is so counter productive, the book describes many of the lgbt infighting issues without judging too much, which is the theme throughout the book Interesting, stimulating and a real good listen/read. This book gives a difficult subject a very open and clear airing, trans seems to be the last taboo, despite the inspiring work of so many clear minded people, often referred to as activists but in my mind just people who want to explain more about trans issues and get equal treatment for trans people, it is extraordinary how that could be controversial, I feel that I have a much better grasp if the milestones in the historical development of trans issues and trans rights. Why do so many people feel the need to persecute minorities? If we could only appreciate everyones differences how much richer we would all be. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Genghis khan book series![]() ![]() Those names hang around, but not all the other ones. Numerous other steppe empires or polities emerged in Mongolia, like the Turks and the Uyghurs. The ethnonyms would come and go, depending on the dynasty but, after Chinggis Khan, the Mongols, who had been around since at least the time of the Tang Dynasty, are a consistently identifiable group and they never go away. Prior to this, there were numerous tribes. But what he also did was create the Mongols or Mongolians as a people. What did he do? He created the Mongol Empire. He eventually died in 1227, while on campaign in Xi Xia, which is the modern Gansu and Ningxia provinces of China. There’s still some debate on exactly what it means, but it means someone you really don’t want to mess with. ![]() An older view that’s hung around for a while is that it means ‘oceanic ruler’.

Nor does he engender his heroes with abandon and ennui, as do his near contemporaries Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov. His genius does not dwell in philosophical dialogues, allegory, or involved interior monologue as do the realist novels of the latter half of the century. Gogol focuses his major creative occupation on the manners of his characters his creative energy is nowhere more apparent than in the “mannerizing” in which he describes and characterizes. These petty clerks, all socially dysfunctional in some major respect, nevertheless explore the great depth of the human soul and exhibit certain personality traits characteristic of the greatest heroes in literature. His heroes of the “little man” variety imprinted the most profound impression on his readers and critics alike. Frequently, the supernatural or some confounding coincidence plays a major role in his works. He captures the “real” against the background of the imagined and, in the estimation of at least one critic, the surreal. ![]() He bridges the period between Romanticism and realism in Russian literature. Nikolai Gogol (31 March 1809 – 4 March 1852) combines the consummate stylist with the innocent spectator, flourishes and flounces with pure human emotion, naturalism with delicate sensitivity. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Rachel maddow book on oil![]() ![]() She sets out the controversial side effects of fracking (earthquakes in Oklahoma, a well explosion in Pennsylvania) and illuminates the dependence Putin’s Russia has on oil revenue - a dependence that rendered Russia open to Tillerson’s entreaties. and to escape negative consequences caused by that extraction.” Moreover, she argues, the companies buy off, sometimes legally, sometimes not, the governments of the lands where they are extracting their resource riches. In these pages, Maddow offers a primer on the oil and gas industry, arguing that resource companies are “incentivized to push as far as they can on extraction. ‘’What could you, in Congress, possibly know about oil that Rex Tillerson doesn’t? How could you, with your lily-livered environmental worry beads, think to weigh in on what could go wrong when pumping oil up from 5,000 feet of one of the richest fisheries on earth?” What is more, they operate with the legal impunity that comes with public ignorance. ![]() |
