![]() ![]() ![]() It's also considered the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier for the "biography" as a genre. It's especially celebrated for being one of the key sources for Alexander the Great. It is one of the most important secondary sources for Ancient Greece, The Roman Republic and a primary source for the early empire. The conceit of the work is to match one Greek biography with a Roman biography, based on Plutarch's perceived similarity between the two figures, and finish it with a comparison where Plutarch analyses each subject's common points, strengths, weaknesses, virtues, and vices. Also known as Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans or Plutarch's Lives after its author, Parallel Lives is a series of biographical essays written in Greek by the historian Plutarch (46-120 CE) during The Roman Empire. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wells, in which a species of intelligent and poisonous ant is shown to be slowly taking over South America.

Overcome, I hitched up my skirt and straddled his lap before I realized what I was doing.

Hyde was written in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson. Before we get into all the heavy and dense material, let’s first see what we are dealing with as a book. I use the phrase “chemical dependency” because it is never stated in the novel just exactly what Jekyll is ingesting (always speak in the present tense when discussing a novel). Hyde illustrates a moralistic attitude to addiction” (Mathiasen 492). The story, or the novel the tale comes from was not just about a mad scientist it was about watching a man of high aristocratic stature become consumed by the power of chemical addiction or “The story of Dr Jekyll and his alter ego Mr. This is correct in saying but the entire story and its multifaceted elements are missing. ![]() Hyde at its most basic level an educated man creates a potion that transforms him into a creature that terrorizes London’s nighttime streets. “My devil had been long caged, he came out roaring” (Stevenson 79). ![]() ![]() ![]() The “savages” who took Hitty as their god did not develop beyond the first dimension.

Hitty, or Mehitable as she was really named, was made in the early 1800s for Phoebe Preble, a little girl from Maine. One glance at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. It is indeed a privilege to publish her memoirs, which, besides being full of the most thrilling adventures on land and sea, also reveal her delightful personality. Hitty is a doll of great charm and character. ![]() ![]() If you didn’t support the war and refused to fight, then you are branded the worst kind of patriot. Will and Kim are on opposite ends of the social and ideological spectrums, but when they come together, the chemistry is undeniable.Īfter reading all three books, I can finally tell you that this series is like if a Sherlock story was from Watson’s perspective, and Sherlock was more of a Mycroft-Sherlock mash-up (leaning into the rich person connections and devious, duplicitous nature of Mycroft paired with the pensiveness and cleverness of Sherlock), but set in the 1920s. Ex-soldiers returned to their hometowns for a pat on the back and zero job prospects. It’s the end of World War I in London, England, and the aftermath of war is still very much causing ripples throughout society. No pressure, KJ! The Will Darling Adventures series by KJ Charles It’s week two of FYA’s Grown-Up Guide to Romance Novels and I’m so excited you’re here!

I believe that Mann himself struggled with his own sexuality so perhaps this book is a symbol of that inner struggle.I did not like the main character much and felt him conceited and self-centred. All the same I am amazed that a book like this was ever published but then perhaps paedophilia was not as well publized by the press as it is today. I believe in free speech and not in censorship so have no real problem with the subject matter even if it does smack of paedophilia, which to every right-minded person should be abhorant. I found myself reading nearly every paragraph twice as each seemed so conveluted. I was certainly grateful that it only ran to 64 pages. ![]() This is a book which I really struggled to finish as on numerous occasions was so tempted to just pack it in. ![]() |
