Człowiek i śmierć by Philippe Ariès5/10/2023 Moreover, the author proposes that what is currently happening in contemporary Western society can be interpreted as an expression of a “partial re-reversal” of “forbidden death” to some of the characteristic features of previous historical death mentalities, which-coupled with contemporary scientific and technological possibilities-creates several paradoxical tendencies making death linger uneasily between liberation and denial as well as between autonomy and control.ĭark Heritage Tourism in the Iberian Peninsula: Memories of Tragedy and Death Whereas Ariès ended his history-writing with modern “forbidden death,” the author suggests that contemporary death mentality in Western society rather be labelled “spectacular death” in which death, dying and mourning have increasingly become spectacles. The article first outlines Ariès’s position starting out with the medieval “tamed death,” then moves on to point to several inherent limitations in his history-writing, before suggesting a revision and update of it. This article revisits, reviews and revises the much cited and magisterial description of successive historical death mentalities from the Middle Ages to modern society as proposed several decades ago by French historian Philippe Ariès.

172 hours on the moon by johan harstad5/10/2023 Creepy and bleak, Harstad’s story is both psychologically and atmospherically disturbing." - Publishers Weekly "Harstad effectively builds tension by moving among the perspectives of adults and teens on the Moon and on Earth readers don’t get to know the characters terribly well, which only adds to the book’s icy remove.However, if you want a good read, which is frightening and scientific." - ellathebookworm, The Guardian "This book is quite scary, so if you don't like scary books, I wouldn't recommend it.(.) Sure, this novel has plenty of logic-defying scenes, but they don't stall the escalating tension." - Rollie Welch, Cleveland Plain Dealer The narrative zips past training and detours safely around the confusing, alphabet-soup of NASA-speak. Like Stieg Larsson, another Scandinavian, Harstad knows how to tuck in a nasty shock. " 172 Hours on the Moon is a well-crafted physical object, peppered with vintage photographs of Apollo moon shots.Norwegian title: Darlah: 172 timer på månenĬ : some suspense, but way too hasty and unscientific.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs.

Adrian is running through the countryside, hoping and praying that Nora, his beloved, has not married another. When they have good history in them, it's even better. She finds romance novels to be perfect antidotes to the heaviness of her research and her activism. In her remaining time, she devours romance novels, specifically those set in the English regency period, though not necessarily so. She also is a reproductive rights activist and blogger. Jessica is a trained historian of slavery and the early modern English empire and is currently working towards her PhD. One of them is Jessica Luther, who is on Twitter as Jessica likes romance, particularly historicals, and she asked if she could review a Meredith Duran novel she loved for me. Over the past few months, I've increased my Twitter following to include political commentators, feminist news sources, various Hulks, and people whom I've ended up chatting with about subjects only tangentially related to romance novels.

The Lost Girls by Heather Young5/9/2023 Her only neighbor is a strange old man who seems to know more about the summer of 1935 than he’s telling. The dark, silent lake is isolated and eerie. But the long Minnesota winter is just beginning. For Justine, the lake house offers freedom and stability-a way to escape her manipulative boyfriend and give her daughters the home she never had. Before her death, she writes the story of that devastating summer in a notebook that she leaves, along with the house, to the only person who might care: her grandniece, Justine. Sixty years later, Lucy, the quiet and watchful middle sister, lives in the lake house alone. Her disappearance destroys the family-her father commits suicide, and her mother and two older sisters spend the rest of their lives at the lake house, keeping a decades-long vigil for the lost child. In 1935, six-year-old Emily Evans vanishes from her family’s vacation home on a remote Minnesota lake. “The delicacy of writing elevates the drama and gives her two central characters depth and backbone… For all the beauty of Young’s writing, her novel is a dark one.And the murder mystery that drives it is as shocking as anything you’re likely to read for a good long while.”Ī stunning novel that examines the price of loyalty, the burden of regret, the meaning of salvation, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, told in the voices of two unforgettable women linked by a decades-old family mystery at a picturesque lake house.

Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman5/9/2023 "Do you ever just sit back and feel really thankful for guava?"īlade smirked. Soledad took a long, luxurious drag at her straw. "You did good - if fits into my arms perfectly."Īnd then we get this piece, which really sums up how their relationship works: What a luxury to be standing here, her hands soaking up softness, no monsters or henchmen to distract her from the heavy flavor of Soledad's jasmine perfume. "I was thinking of you when I bought this dress."īlade slid her arms around Soledad's waist, feeling the warmth of her body in a non-life-threatening context for the first time. The book is packed with geekery, smoothly balanced with intense chemistry between the two leads. Cinnamon has rescued Soledad a few times by the start of the book, which means that she, good person that she is, waits until they're in a social situation not fraught with tension and obligation to ask Soledad out on a real date. Her love interest, Soledad Castillo, is bookish and nerdy and funny (and punny) and I loved everything about their relationship. She's also a really good person and super hot. Reader, I adored this book.Ĭinnamon Blade is a superhero and former thief. You'd think that since CINNAMON BLADE: KNIFE IN SHINING ARMOR is only 80 pages, this would be a short review.
