He was a prolific polemical journalist, article writer, literary critic, reviewer, poet, and writer of fiction, and, considered perhaps the twentieth century's best chronicler of English culture. In 1943, he became literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. However by then they had escaped from Spain and returned to England.īetween 19, Orwell worked on propaganda for the BBC. Orwell and his wife were accused of "rabid Trotskyism" and tried in absentia in Barcelona, along with other leaders of the POUM, in 1938. Later the organization that he had joined when he joined the Republican cause, The Workers Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), was painted by the pro-Soviet Communists as a Trotskyist organization (Trotsky was Joseph Stalin's enemy) and disbanded. Orwell was severely wounded when he was shot through his throat. In addition to his literary career Orwell served as a police officer with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927 and fought with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1937. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism. Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. Savage places relationships at the forefront: Family ties, found friendships, and community support give this novel its heart. Scots dialect is liberally interspersed throughout, but natural translations render it easily comprehensible. Humorously melodramatic, irrepressibly modern Ada Ru perfectly showcases the Old World charm of the Highlands as she comes to love the place and its people. The three kids are determined to be the first to find conclusive evidence of the existence of the elusive Nessie, proving that even a close-knit town like Fort Augustus can hide secrets in its watery depths. She befriends Hamish “Hammy” Bean Tibby III, a blind cryptid enthusiast who runs the Nessie Juggernaut newsletter, and Dax Cady, an affably brooding American guitarist. She tries to ignore her mother’s challenge to “make the best of things” in Scotland but is gradually drawn into the notorious Nessie Race, putting her writer’s instinct to the ultimate test. A summer on Loch Ness might be a dream vacation to some, but to homebody Ada Ru, it’s a nightmare come true.Īda Ru would much prefer to go to Walt Disney World-or, barring that, to stay at home in Denver with her full life. He'd assessed the situation and reasoned that an error was more likely than such a limited attack. Instead, he made a call to say the system was faulty. Stanislaw Petrov knew his duty: he was to inform Moscow that nuclear war had begun, so that they could launch an immediate and devastating response. In September 1983, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union's early warning system showed five US missiles heading towards the country.

She has given away the treasures she’s collected over her many lifetimes to purge her past and clear the way for a future with her new lover, ER doctor Luke Findley. Now, two hundred years after imprisoning Adair, Lanore is trying to atone for her sins. He is a monster in the flesh, and he wants Lanore to love him for all time. And though he is handsome and charming, behind Adair’s seductive façade is the stuff of nightmares. He used his mysterious, otherworldly powers to give her eternal life, but Lanore learned too late that there was a price for this gift: to spend eternity with him. She had no choice but to entomb Adair, her nemesis, to save Jonathan, the boy she grew up with in the remote Maine town and the man she thought she would be with forever. Including imprisoning the man who loves her behind a wall of brick and stone. Lanore McIvlvrae is the kind of woman who will do anything for love. In the second installment in her supernatural Taker trilogy, Alma Katsu, author of the highly acclaimed The Hunger, takes you on a “fascinating” ( Cliché Magazine) and passion-fueled journey that transcends the boundaries of time. Nearly thirty years before Snorri’s birth, the Danish kingdom had been the plaything of a German prince, Henry the Lion, who set up or pulled down her rulers as he saw fit and during Snorri’s boyhood, one of these rulers, Valdamarr I, contributed to Henry’s political destruction. Even as England, France, and Germany acted and reacted upon one another in politics, in social growth, in art, and in literature, so all three acted upon Scandinavia, and felt the reaction of her influence. No greater error could be committed than to think of the Northern lands as cut off by barriers of distance, tongue, and custom from the heart of the Continent, and in consequence as countries where men’s thoughts and deeds were more unrestrained and uncivilized. The North, like England and the Continent, felt the religious fervor of the Crusades, passed from potential anarchy into union and national consciousness, experienced a literary and spiritual revival, and suffered the fury of persecution and of fratricidal war. Not less than the rest of Europe, Scandinavia shared in the bitter conflict between the law of the spirit and the law of the members. The life of Snorri Sturluson fell in a great but contradictory age, when all that was noble and spiritual in men seemed to promise social regeneration, and when bloody crimes and sordid ambitions gave this hope the lie. His present holds no place for love or regrets until the door to his past creaks open, reanimating the beginning of his unhealthy obsession with Kuon, and all the anger, annoyance, curiosity, and lust that came with it.When the memory scratches at his contentment, making it bleed, he isn’t sure he will be able to let Kuon go again. Yugo has everything he wants in life–a young, beautiful lover and a successful business he rules with an iron fist. “What’s the appeal of breaking what’s already broken?”POWER.
