![]() ![]() What she discovers disturbs her and leads her to communicate with Ezra again-both for more information and because of their unfinished business. Kady avoids conscription by flunking tests and highlighting her defiant personality, which allows her freedom to hack the ships. The latter escorts both Hypatia and the freighter Copernicus in a monthslong race to safety while pursued by a BeiTech dreadnought, one likely to win should the ships engage again. They are among the lucky ones who manage to evacuate-Kady to the science vessel Hypatia and Ezra to the United Terran Authority’s battlecarrier Alexander. ![]() Teenage colonists and exes Kady’s and Ezra’s lives are rocked by the 2575 assault on the Wallace/Ulyanov Consortium’s illegal mining colony by their corporate rival, BeiTech Industries. ![]() In the wake of an interstellar incident, a post-mortem dossier comprising interview transcripts, memos, instant-messaging transcripts, diary entries, and more is assembled in this mammoth series opener. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Fascist authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in 1944 he fled to Switzerland, where his first work of literature, a collection of poetry entitled Incantavi, was published in 1945. Piero Chiara (born in 1913) worked as a court employee until the outbreak of Word War Two. Every twist and turn takes us closer to Giulia - and further from the truth. ![]() Incriminating letters are exchanging hands. Shadows are lurking in the grounds behind Giulia's house. You're a born detective, but you have so many unanswered questions - how can a young, beautiful high society woman just vanish into thin air? Why does her husband - a prominent criminal lawyer and much older man - know nothing about it? And who was she really visiting during those trips to Milan? For Detective Sciancalepre, the mystery is darker and more tangled than he imagined. A delightfully Italian mystery, with undercurrent of satire, which keeps the reader guessing.Every Thursday for three years, Signora Giulia takes the train to Milan to visit her daughter. ![]() ![]() Zachary Davis: The novel is set in a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients high up in the Swiss Alps. I'm a comparative literature professor at Yale University. It sort of covers everything in the world, and it covers it in a sort of funny, ironic way, but it's a very, very deep novel, and it really merits rereading. Pericles Lewis: Mann was a great novelist because he took fairly modern techniques, sort of slightly experimental techniques, but he applied them to the major issues of his time, to the problem of to what degree can we believe in rationality, to the problem of self-interest and love and lust and desire and how they blind our search for truth to the problem of death. ![]() The German author Thomas Mann used this pandemic as the backdrop for his 1924 novel, The Magic Mountain. On average, one in seven people died from tuberculosis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ![]() In addition, a tuberculosis pandemic had a firm grip on Europe and the United States. In the midst of this apparent golden age, darker forces of nationalism and class resentment were brewing beneath the surface. The bourgeois class was flourishing and Germany’s industrialized economy was the strongest in Europe. Enlightenment ideals of reason and progress dominated. ![]() ![]() Their scientists and artists were the envy of the world. Zachary Davis: In the early 20th century, you could make a strong claim that Germany was the leading country on earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Berlin uses the hedgehog-fox idea to divide writers and thinkers into two categories: single-minded hedgehogs, who view the world through the lens of one, defining idea, and pluralistic foxes, who draw on a wide variety of experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea. Nevertheless, it was this fragment of his ancient poetry, “a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing” that underpins Berlin’s famous, often controversial, essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox. ![]() It’s a long way from the seventh century BC and the Greek poet Archilochus to a philosophical tract written by philosopher, Isiah Berlin, in 1950s Britain. ![]() It’s funny how even ancient ideas can be given new lease of life. How cultivating depth and breadth is key for the age of agile. ![]() ![]() I loved the comedic part of this love story, the dynamic with the men and Shelby was fabulous, made me giggle and smile so much throughout the book. I loved how the adorable moments (and heated moments) continued in book 2 of Sharan Daire's contemporary single mom RH series. 4/5 from me for the narration ❤️ □ Audiobook Obsession Reviewer - Flock Team □ Original ebook review: I read book 1 of this series after I lost a dear friend and it was just what I needed to help get me out of the darkness and the book slump I was in. ![]() ![]() I don't know if I noticed it in book 1 but the male performances sometimes seemed over the top to me but overall I liked the narration and will be listening to the audiobook in the future again. I think the best thing was the kids reactions and feelings, they were done so well, especially with the aunt's stressful situation. To make these burly men nervous about everything because of our MCs health status was adorable, the nervousness she went through with her Project Runway debut haha and being pampered through everything. I think this duo did a good job with this emotional 2nd book. Engaging sequel, loved the Project Runway vibes!Ģ022 Audiobook Review: Just adding some more words to add to my ebook review from last year specifically for the narration. ![]() ![]() How he solved it, and how it seemed to solve him, is detailed below. The famous mustache is gone! The reason for its shaving is, of course, one aspect that gives the murder mystery at the heart of Nile some depth. Yet when we see that same solitary figure again at the end of Death on the Nile, and as he watches Salome Otterbourne (Sophie Okonedo) sing a jazzy torch number in a London nightclub, he looks markedly different. Minus an opening sequence flashback set during the First World War, this is even how we’re introduced to Hercule in the 1930s. ![]() In both Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and this spring’s Death on the Nile, he sits alone at a table, accompanied by no one except his thoughts. ![]() It’s something we’ve seen Hercule Poirot do a lot across Kenneth Branagh’s two big screen adaptations of Agatha Christie mysteries. ![]() This article contains Death on the Nile spoilers. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cookie is a session cookies and is deleted when all the browser windows are closed.

(Sage’s Analysis: Like his original debut in AEW I think it leaves a lot to be desired, and puts White squarely in the mid card. The announce team put over that Jay White is now in AEW.
