6/7/2023 0 Comments The aeneid david west![]() ![]() Letting Virgil do most of the work of distinguishing the characters, Collins brings the drama to life. This is no small achievement, considering how remarkably passive Aeneas is for an epic hero. The late poet laureate Cecil Day-Lewis’s translation of this Roman epic is idiosyncratic, but David Collins’s narration is consistently gripping. Cecil Day-Lewis’s euphonious hexameters were meant to be easy on the ear, being written for broadcast on the BBC, and are given added force by colloquialisms such as Jupiter’s ‘storm troops’, the golden bough as a ‘passport’ to the underworld, the sneering description of Aeneas as a ‘Phrygian pansy’ and Pyrrhus as a ‘milksop’. All manner of gods and mythic characters are knitted into it and we find out why the Trojans were stupid enough to haul that wooden horse inside Troy, why poor Laocoön and his sons got strangled by serpents, why Aeneas ratted on Dido and so on and so on. ![]() I hadn’t read any Virgil before listening to this engaging 1952 version of the classic tale of Aeneas escaping from Troy and eventually laying the foundations of Rome. ![]() Titles by Virgil Titles by Virgil The Aeneid (abridged) The Aeneid (unabridged) Reviews ![]() ![]() Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him.

The heartstopping follow up to These Violent Delights, an imaginative, alluring retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s Shanghai.Īfter sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on the warpath. The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the avalanche of lies Cobalt had been telling-wearing two faces for so long neither were real, the depth of betrayal, committing treason-could never be forgiven. Under different circumstances, eliminating an assassin-a terrorist-would be hailed as just. Most sins whispered in the darkness, but murder was a bullhorn echo in broad daylight. The man locked in the interrogation room had to die tonight, or he’d ruin everything.

She hopes to wed and raise children with Grainger Colbert, spend time with her sister and mother, and overcome rumors of the Duval family curse. Born and raised in Oakvale, a small town surrounded by a beast-riddled and ever encroaching dark wood, 16-year-old Adele Duval enjoys her provincial life. First in a series, this book sometimes runs heavy on exposition, but Vincent (the Soul Screamers series) carves out an intriguing niche in the post-apocalyptic landscape. A red-cloaked girl encounters (were)wolves. Nina’s confusing feelings for Finn take a back burner as she joins him and his friends on the run, fighting both the church and demons to keep her family safe. ![]() When a demon attack brings Nina’s life crashing down, help comes not from the church’s exorcists but from a fugitive named Finn, who has the power to cast demons back to Hell. ![]() In New Temperance, joining their holy order is Nina’s only option to feed herself and her sin-prone sister, Melanie, while their mother wastes away in a drugged stupor. Now Nina, at 17, has only a year left before she dedicates her life to the tyrannical Unified Church that came to power after the war. This high stakes, pacey reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood is perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber and Megan Spooner. A century ago, demons declared war on humanity and devoured so many souls that the human population could no longer sustain itself.

Their father is a kind but weak man who isn’t very good at business, and when our story starts, has lost all of their money in the latest scam of their unscrupulous neighbor, Jimenin. Cinnia, the younger sister, is stunningly beautiful, so a lot of Louvaen’s mothering has involved warding off unsuitable suitors. The half-sisters are very close, but the elder of the two, Louvaen, is several years older than her sister, and has grown up as the mother figure in Cinnia’s life. Of course, two Beasts means two Beauties. It started with an interesting twist – two Beasts! Father and son, both cursed by their wife/mother. Entreat Me was one of the titles on the list. I love fairy tale retellings in general, and B&B is a fave. The Aroma of Books //Rants//Raves//Reviews//Ī while back I found a list on GoodReads or somewhere that had a bunch of retellings of Beauty & the Beast. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The Pinwheel by Steve Church![]() ![]() The event happens on Yakima County Juvenile Court adoption hearing day when joyful families officially adopt foster children.

By focusing on this transformation, the author is able to interpret many historical phenomena, such as rising levels of crime, degeneration of standards of conduct and morality, and the growth of the mega-state. Its methodology is axiomatic-deductive, allowing the writer to derive economic and sociological theorems, and then apply them to interpret historical events.Ī compelling chapter on time preference describes the progress of civilization as lowering time preferences as capital structure is built, and explains how the interaction between people can lower time all around, with interesting parallels to the Ricardian Law of Association. ![]() Revisionist in nature, it reaches the conclusion that monarchy is a lesser evil than democracy, but outlines deficiencies in both. The core of this book is a systematic treatment of the historic transformation of the West from monarchy to democracy. ![]() |
