Stranger to the Moon wastes no time in making the reader sit up and take notice: I stayed there six years, and I wrote Señor que no conoce la luna, because before I lived in Chía I’d never really seen the moon, as simple as that, I didn’t get to know the moon in Paris or in Barcelona.” The little brick house seemed right out of a fairy tale, but also out of nightmares. “I came back to Colombia, and after less than a week in Bogotá I fell in love and went to live in Chía, in the Cerca de Piedra district, among cows and chickens. Stranger to the Moon, now with Victor Meadowcroft as co-translator, is entirely allegory, a short novel where, in Rosero’s words “the nightmare took control of everything,” written in the late 1980s when Rosero returned to Colombia from Europe: It was followed by Good Offices (2011) and Feast of the Innocents (2015), in which Anne was joined in translation by Anna Milsom, both novels incorporating elements of the surreal, but with a clear grounding in realism. Evelio Rosero is best-known in English for his 2009 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize winning novel The Armies, his first to be translated (by Anne McLean, who has been involved in all subsequent translations of his work). ![]()

Joseph Conrad settled in England in 1894, the year before he published his first novel. He was hired to take a steamship into Africa, and according to Conrad, the experience of seeing firsthand the horrors of colonial rule left him a changed man. He was made a Master Mariner, and served more than sixteen years before an event inspired him to try his hand at writing. He then began to work aboard British ships, learning English from his shipmates. He joined the French Merchant Marine and briefly employed himself as a wartime gunrunner. Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-born English novelist who today is most famous for Heart of Darkness, his fictionalized account of Colonial Africa.Ĭonrad left his native Poland in his middle teens to avoid conscription into the Russian Army. ![]() ![]() Jane can't help but see an opportunity in Eddie-not only is he rich, brooding, and handsome, he could also offer her the kind of protection she's always yearned for.

Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estates-a gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. A delicious twist on a Gothic classic, The Wife Upstairs pairs Southern charm with atmospheric domestic suspense, perfect for fans of B.A. ![]() ![]() The assassin’s life story and motivation for murder was also explored. However, he was very well regarded and the consensus seems to be he would have been an exceptional president. Brilliant, affable, and reasonable, Garfield had been nominated at the 1880 Republican convention against his own will and had no desire to become president. ![]() Millard’s account goes beyond the details of the assassination to paint a fuller picture of Garfield the man and to place him in the context of his times. ![]() Knowing as little as I did about Garfield, I found it interesting that his physicians had contributed so substantially to his death. In fact, they very well might not have proved fatal at all but for the medical attention Garfield received–repeated non-sterile probing of the wound–that caused him to eventually die of infection, his body riddled with abscesses.Ī few years ago, I read a short history of medicine in America book that included a short account of Garfield’s murder. The gunshot wounds were not immediately fatal. ![]() ![]() Elected in 1880, Garfield was only four months into his presidency when an assassin tried to take his life. The book, subtitled: "A tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President," is the story of the assassination of President James Garfield. ![]() ![]() ![]() Polyxene combines fragility, and vulnerability with courage and strength. To a certain degree, this scene also illustrates the helplessness of this female character. Neoptolemus, Achilles’ son, kills her but she does not lament her lot. This woman allowed herself to be sacrificed not because she was feeling guilty of Achilles downfall, but because she was eager to stop the Trojan War. Her selflessness eloquently proves this argument. But there were some, who dared contradict, and Polyxena was one of them. Greek myths present them as helpless creatures, who were completely dependent on men. Overall, in ancient society, women were often regarded as a commodity, which can be sold and resold, every person who attempted to rebel, was severely punished (Reeder, p 45). It is possible to analyze this myth from various standpoints I would discuss it from feminist perspective. ![]() ![]() Her major concern was to stop this bloodshed, and her death symbolizes the end of the war. ![]() Here, we have arguably one of the most interesting moments: this woman did not even try to protest against it on the contrary, she readily accepted her fate. When the Trojan War was drawn to a close, the ghost of the great warrior demanded human sacrifice in his honor, and the victim had to be Polyxena, the person, who betrayed him. ![]() ![]() Sallie tries to brush aside her growing feelings for Kevin, but she fears what her parents would think about her new friendship. Then again, Kevin is Mennonite, not Amish. Time with Kevin is invigorating, and Sallie realizes she's never felt quite this alive around Perry. It is there that she meets Kevin Kreider, a marine biology student who talks freely about all he's learning and asks about her interests, unlike most of the guys she grew up with. ![]() Though she loves nannying, Sallie has free time on the weekends to enjoy the shore. Sallie has long dreamed of seeing more of the world, but her parents are reluctant for her to put off baptism yet another summer, and the timing is unfortunate for Perry Zook, who has renewed interest in courting her. ![]() When a well-to-do family asks Sallie Riehl to be their daughter's nanny for the summer at their Cape May, New Jersey, vacation home, she jumps at the chance to broaden her horizons beyond the Lancaster County Amish community where she grew up.
