(.) Taxi's brilliance is that it captures the point at which cabs cease to be just a means of transportation and instead become a space for debate and exchange, at a time when all other public spaces, including the street itself, had become inaccessible under the brutal force of the police state." - Omayma Abdel-Latif, Foreign Policy (.) His unlikely approach, lucid prose, and rare insight into popular perceptions make Taxi perhaps the most interesting of the works that chronicle the social and political transformations Egypt has undergone during the past five decades. "But instead of weaving together a well-defined narrative or adventure, Khamissi produced a series of vignettes of different drivers’ experiences, in an attempt to capture the broadest possible picture of the other side of Egyptian politics.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the authorī : effective means of presenting a broad panorama of contemporary Egyptian life Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs.

Later, the two rats returned to the site and dug the "treasure" up. Slipp and Blaggut had encountered the shadow before and were terrified of it, so the sea rat hastily took the Dibbuns back to the Abbey. Under orders from Slipp, Blaggut convinced the two young ones to show him their "secret treasure," and was about to dig it up when a " black shadow" appeared on the ramparts. They befriended the two infants, and accompanied them back to Redwall Abbey, where Blaggut discovered his ability to build boats. Retreating into Mossflower Woods, the pair found two lost Dibbuns, Furrtil the mole and Mousebabe. After a war party led by Finnbarr Galedeep and Joseph the Bellmaker captured the vessel to sail to Southsward, Blaggut and his captain, Slipp, were the only surviving members of the crew.

Herne’s ghostly powers revolved around the decay of the natural world. In his original Shakespearean appearance, however, Herne’s antlers sprouted directly from his head. Several interpretations have depicted Herne wearing a deerskin hood, upon which the antlers sat. He was known by the rattling of chains and the ghostly moans that preceded him, as well as the giant antlers upon his head. He haunted a particular tree, called Herne’s Oak, and terrorized the wildlife that inhabited the wood. Herne was a specter that haunted Windsor Forest of Berkshire-now called Windsor Great Park. Herne appeared as “Horne” in several early drafts of The Merry Wives of Windsor, possibly referencing a historical yeoman of Henry VIII’s time. It has been suggested that “Herne” was linked to the Gaulish deity Cernunnos, whose own name stemmed form the Latin cerne, or “horned.” Through Grimm’s Law, cerne could have become herne, and thus mean “horned.” Alternately, “Herne” could be a corruption of Hernian, a title born by Wotan, the Germanic god of the Wild Hunt.Īnother theory suggested that Herne was, in fact, a real person whose name was changed by Shakespeare. The origins of the name Herne have remained as shrouded in mystery as the specter himself. What am I looking for on my #MSWL?

With intelligence and care (as well as with a trove of sometimes heart-breaking and sometimes heart-opening true stories) Heather McGhee shows us what racism has cost all of us, as a society. More advanced praise for McGhee’s newly released book comes from #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert: “ The Sum of Us is a powerhouse of a book about the deep, enduring, cross-cultural, multi-generational, and real-life cost of racist policy-making in the United States.

Agent: Michelle Wolfson, Wolfson Literary. Parents you’re literally supposed to worship? Gross. White (Mind Games) uses her technical prowess with narrative forms to break up the story, and she brings an irreverent sense of humor to Egyptian myth. As a character, Isadora is (by design) fairly arrogant and self-absorbed, but she also has a point: it’s hard to understand why immortal parents would purposely give their child mortality. Isadora would rather think about how much she wants to spite her mother, redecorate every room she enters (she’s an aspiring interior designer), and not fall in love with the beautiful Greek boy, Ry, who’s hanging around. What the danger is and why it apparently follows Isadora to America is unclear, hinted at only in dreams. Until that point, Isadora lives in an ancient temple complex in the Egyptian desert-this is because her mother is the goddess Isis, and her father is Osiris. A captivating novel of first love, Egyptian mythology, and family, from the 1 New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken Isadoras family is seriously screwed up-which comes with the territory when youre the human daughter of the Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris. Sixteen-year-old Isadora talks a bit like a spoiled California teen, but she doesn’t actually become one until her mother sends her to San Diego to keep her safe. |
