This book adapts and updates three short volumes published originally in French by La Découverte. Benjamin Stora, widely recognized as the leading expert on Algeria, presents the story of this turbulent area from the start of formal French colonialism in the early nineteenth century, through the prolonged war for independence in the latter 1950s, to the internal strife of the present day. Algeria, 1830-2000 is a comprehensive narrative history of the country. This terrible war overshadows Algeria's long and complex history and its prominence on the world economic stage-second in size among African nations, Algeria has the longest Mediterranean coastline and contains the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves. Amnesty International notes that since 1992, in a population of 28 million, 80,000 people have been reported killed, and the actual total is almost certainly higher. ![]() A particularly vicious and bloody civil war has racked Algeria for a decade. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments A christmas memory capote![]() ![]() Seven-year-old Buddy inaugurates the Christmas season by crying out to his cousin, Miss Sook Falk: "It's fruitcake weather " Thus begins an unforgettable portrait of an odd but enduring friendship between two innocent souls-one young and one old-and the memories they share of beloved holiday rituals.Ĭustomers who bought this item also bought.

Yet, history buried in the dirt can often push its way back to the surface, like a seed reaching for the light, and through the work that Catherine has done those lost children have found a voice – if not a surrogate mother – beyond their undignified grave. ![]() Sitting at the kitchen table in her beautiful country dwelling at Carrowntanlis, between Tuam and Dunmore, Catherine remembers the 796 children from the Tuam Mother & Baby home whose bodies were dumped down a sewage tank between the 1930s and 1950s in the hope they would be forgotten. When Catherine Corless began a local history evening course in 2010, little did this unassuming home-maker realise it would set her on a journey that would change her life. Now, with her memoir in print, she tells STEPHEN GLENNON how a quiet, unassuming mother of four became a shining beacon for our time.

There's just too much to enjoy discovering in the story on one's own. I'm hesitant to give much information on the plots weaving throughout the book that find common resolution in the end. I saved this book until the end of the year, and I was rewarded with a read that ended the year on a very high note.Īgain, the investigations of our intrepid foursome are sizzlingly current and not of the cold, forgotten kind. After falling hard for these characters and their witty camaraderie, I expected book two, The Man Who Died Twice, to be one of my best reads in 2021. ![]() The resourcefulness these four bring to the table is impressive, even to local constable Donna DeFreitas and her boss, DCI Chris Hudson, who by the end of the first book become friends of the Thursday Murder Club members. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim find murder and crime right under their noses though. There have been senior citizen detectives or amateur sleuths before, but here was a group of septuagenarians living at a retirement home in Kent, England who have banded together to add some excitement to their lives by reviewing unsolved murder cold cases. When I read last year's The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, I was thrilled with its unique entry into the mystery/crime genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() To tag a post as a spoiler, click "spoiler" under the post title.

About the Manga ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Mcinerney bright lights big city![]() ![]() ![]() In spite of the sophisticated origin of all things postmodern in poststructuralist philosophy and criticism, postmodernism concerned, above all, urban spaces and the media-saturated, consumerist and capitalist society that formed the realm of McInerney’s readership. ![]() However, the enthusiasm of the large, young readership showed that there was something to McInerney’s novel that other novels did not offer- a setting and a language that were familiar and uncomplicated for them, but, at the same time, an account of relevant, postmodern issues that very well did concern the Bright Young Things of the 80s, but were usually seized in more elitist literature, and thus, eluded an audience that was ready for them to be taken up. In fact, the hype that surrounded him and his fellow “brat- pack” writers is likely to have prevented any serious scholarly interest in this kind of new urban literature back in the day Bright Lights, Big City was dismissed as a “yuppie bildungsroman- full of tortured self- searching and struggling- writer romance” (Young/Caveney 1992: 47) at first, without any considerable novelty or value. The success of his debut novel Bright Lights, Big City brought Jay McInerney an astonishing amount of media coverage and an equivalent in book sales, but not much approval, let alone deeper analysis of his work, from critics and scholars. 4.1 Postmodern tensions between fact and fiction ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments The unlikely pilgrimage of harold![]() ![]() Without planning or preparation, he embarks on the title’s “unlikely pilgrimage,” somehow believing that if he can walk the hundreds of miles over the many months it will take him, she will remain alive to welcome him. She is dying from cancer and has written to let him know, to say goodbye. Then, one day, he receives a letter from a female co-worker with whom he had once been close but hasn’t been in contact for 20 years. The title character has recently retired from his office job at a brewery, lives with a wife who hasn’t loved him for decades-since their intelligent, perhaps disturbed son sparked her estrangement from her husband-and appears destined to live his life in everyday limbo until the grave. The debut novel by an award-winning British radio playwright (and actor) offers an allegory that requires many leaps of faith, while straddling the line between the charming and cloying (as well as the comic and melodramatic). ![]() ![]() Those with the patience to accompany the protagonist on this meandering journey will receive an emotional payoff at the end. ![]() |
