Critics found fault with the limitedness of his topics, which revolved mostly around youth, (homo-)sexuality, the problems of an intellectual jeunesse dorée, and the generational conflicts of the young German post-war generation with their parents. At the age of 19, he was already the focus of considerable critical public attention. He was considered to be a literary enfant terrible of the Weimar Republic.

Stephen Hawes was the first English author to take this up in his intricate “A pair of wings” in about 1500. These poems and their like were later imitated in Renaissance Neo-Latin verse and the fashion then spread to vernacular literatures as well. The poem is in the form of an allusive riddle whose subject is Eros, the god of love, but where the only hint of his wings is contained in the adjective referring to him, “swift-flying”. Among these was one in the shape of wings by Simmias of Rhodes. The Renaissance revival of interest in ancient Greek poetry brought to light a few poems preserved in the Greek anthology in which the shape of the lay-out mimics the poem's sense. It was originally formatted sideways on facing pages and is in the tradition of shaped poems that goes back to ancient Greek sources.

Erich Kahler here analyzes Doctor Faustus in relationship to Thomas Mann’s entire life and work and to the cultural and anti-cultural trends of the past decades. Few books have offered such a challenge to America’s critics and other readers as Thomas Mann’s recently published Doctor Faustus, which marks the climax of one of the great literary careers of our age-a career possibly as important and instructive as the works of art it produced.

Wolf's Rain ウルフズレイン (Finished 26/26) This is the first time I have had such a criticism of a First Second book, whose titles have always been meticulously crafted. These are all minor distractions that could have been easily cleaned up by a more careful editor. The art was generally appealing, except that some noses looked distractingly odd. The shifting voices were particularly distracting when one scientist was writing about another. One page had voice bubbles that looked like they were typed in Comic Sans. But the other characters do not receive such clear treatment, changing fonts from serif to sans-serif as if that is a significant enough shift for the average reader. It started out well with Leakey's voice in brown and Goodall's voice in blue. The significance of their political work and the toll their research took on their personal lives was also included in this slim volume.Ĭonfusing shifts in narration. I learned about their significant findings that shook the scientific world: chimpanzees using tools and orangutans walking on the ground. I had never heard of Galdikas or her research with Orangutans. I had no idea that Louis Leakey helped secure the funding for Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall and got them their starts in field research. Yay! Women scientists! At times funny and fascinating.

Shortly after she arrives in town, she meets Austin Bailey, for all intents and purposes the male head of his household. The plot is fairly straight forward Holly is the new principal at the high school, filling in for the principal on maternity leave. Her books are all one night reads for me and my guilty pleasure of late! I love books set in Alaska, and while the setting is fun, it’s the characters that make this series. I read the second book of this series, Advice From a Jilted Bride, then went back to find the first. I’m still enmeshed in Piper Rayne’s world. Lesson Seven: Pay attention to this one-it’s the most important of them all. Lesson Five: If you ignore Lesson Four, apologize instead of flirt when you’re sent to the principal’s office. Lesson Four: Don’t alter her bio in front of an auditorium of high school students unless you know she has a sense of humor for that sort of thing. Lesson Three: Find out why she’s moved to town. Lesson Two: Consider asking what she does for a living.
