![]() In the decades that followed, Chekhov’s death became, in the words of journalist and biographer Janet Malcolm, “one of the great set pieces in literary history.” Raymond Carver fictionalized it in his final short story, “ Errand,” published in 1987. The stillness was interrupted by a huge black moth, “which kept crashing painfully into the light bulbs and darting about the room,” she wrote. “Anton took a full glass, examined it, smiled at me and said, ‘It’s a long time since I drank champagne.’ He drained it and lay quietly on his left side, and was soon silent forever.” The playwright’s wife, actress Olga Knipper-Chekhova, later remembered, “He awoke in the early hours of the night, and for the first time in his life himself requested that the doctor be sent for.” When the German doctor arrived, “Anton sat up unusually straight and said loudly and clearly in German (of which he knew very little): Ich sterbe (‘I’m dying’).” The doctor ordered a bottle of champagne be brought up. Despite the champagne the mood was somber. ![]() ![]() As well as harnessing the imaginative power of Dante’s underworld, Brown casts the Black Plague as an ominous historical correlative for 21st century anxieties about overcrowding and pandemics. ![]() Florence, its medieval gardens and palaces riven with secret passages, becomes a suitably labyrinthian backdrop to this cat and mouse brain teaser, with Botticelli’s La Mappa dell’Inferno, Dante’s death masque and the final resting place of a Venetian doge all containing murkily encrypted clues.

This meant not being able to come to Canada, where he had been nominated to receive an honorary degree from Queen's University. "We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are." He confronted terminal illness stoically, but it wore him down, keeping him close to home in Montevideo. "Courage is born of fear, certainty of doubt," asserted the Uruguayan maestro. He held true to what he called a "fugitive faith," not in any deity but in humanity itself, above all its subversive inclination to thrive even in the face of dire adversity. T he death of Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015) removed from our midst not only one of Latin America's most eminent men of letters but a global citizen of immense stature, a writer unrivalled in documenting the world's weary ways and celebrating its myriad, marvellous joys. ![]() Įduardo Galeano, The Book of Embraces (1991) Recordar: to remember, from the Latin, re-cordis, to pass back through the heart. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With this in mind, Susan Atkins’ version of what happened during the summer of 1969 is patently more credible than the bizzare Helter Skelter theory, upon which prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi based his case against Charles Manson and his followers in 1970. Occam’s razor holds that if you have two competing explanations for something, the simpler one is usually correct. I think I would've respected her more if she had simply left it at "I take full responsibility for my actions." This isn't a parole hearing or trial, you know. The part that bugs me a bit is her constant "I take full responsibility for my actions.but I didn't do anything". This does give you something to think about, and alot of what she says makes sense. ![]() The auther now suggests that this was not the case at all, and she is actually able to back-up her claims with alot of information from many different books on the subject: Vincent Bugliosi (the D.A.), Charles Watson, Paul Watkins both men known Manson family members), and hers, as well as notes from the actual trial. Whereas, up till now, it has been understood that these murders were Charle's Mansons' way of starting a race war that he believed was imminent. ![]() This book offers up a different motive to the "Helter Skelter" murders of 1969. I've even read Susan Atkins-Whitehouse's first book, Child of God/ Child of Satan, which I found very interesting. I have read several books on Charles Manson and his family. ![]() ![]() ![]() This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be.

His novels were set in “an ancient China that never was.” The main characters were the naive farm boy Number Ten Ox and Master Li, “a sage with a slight flaw in character.” They traversed China, unraveling ancient mysteries and often leaving chaos in their wake.īridge Of Birds was a wonderful book, blending Chinese myth and folklore with moments of comedy, tragedy, suspense, horror and beauty.
