![]() Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works.Įrnst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann was born in Königsberg, East Prussia in 1776. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffmann’s family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 – 1822) was born in Königsberg, East Prussia. A true Christmas classic, perfect for festive bedtime reading for adults and children a-like. ![]() ![]() Probably Hoffman’s most well-known story, produced in 1816, due to the fact that – some seventy-six years later – it inspired Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker”. ![]() Hoffmann, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse-King” is the magical adventure of Marie Stahlbaum’s favourite toy, the Nutcracker, who battles the nefarious Mouse-King in battle and takes the reader on a wonderful adventure, into a magical land of dolls. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, a succession of other mentors-including Williams, whose use of the American vernacular and local material had inspired him, and great scholars such as art historian Meyer Shapiro at Columbia, who had introduced him to the tenets of modernism from an analytic perspective-had enabled the young poet to form a substantial intellectual foundation. Louis Ginsberg’s very traditional, metrical verse was of little use to his son, but his father’s interest in literary history was part of Ginsberg’s solid grounding in prosody. Ginsberg’s father had exerted more influence than was immediately apparent. ![]() Several factors in Ginsberg’s life were particularly important in this breakthrough poem, written as the poet was approaching thirty and still drifting through a series of jobs, countries, and social occasions. ![]() As Ginsberg’s notes make clear, however, it was also the latest specimen in a continuing experiment in form and structure. “Howl,” the poem that carried Allen Ginsberg ( J– April 5, 1997) into public consciousness as a symbol of the avant-garde artist and as the designer of a verse style for a postwar generation seeking its own voice, was initially regarded as primarily a social document. ![]() ![]() Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive.

French travelers brought with them a new modern form of walking linked to the creation of Parisian public boulevards, while contemporary philosophy associated the production of knowledge directly to the sensorial apparatus of the body. These narratives, found in epistolary writings and the pictorial arts, reflected and suggested that viewers, readers, or strollers could enter into landscapes, wander through streetscapes, and commune with the past in both the space of the city and the space of representation. ![]() This article traces the contours of a new way in which Rome was explored, imagined, and represented in the eighteenth century in texts and images by French travelers. ![]() ![]() Its been a while, I think its time to go and read it again. I can see my old battered copy of Mirrorshades on the shelf from where I am writing this. Meeting Jim at Clarion was totally awe inspiring as a consequence. I remember that story pretty much scene for scene, despite not having read it for at least a decade. Contributions from Greg Bear and Pat Cadigan also rocked my adolescent world, but it was James Patrick Kelly’s Solstice that really blew my mind. But Tom Maddox Snake-Eyes sticks in my memory as the epitomy of cyberpunk, and a major influence over my story They Leave Him No Voice (workshopped at Clarion and awaiting re-write). Red Star, Winter Orbit still rates for me as one of Gibson’s strongest stories (alongside Hinterlands). ![]() As unique and startling as that novel was, without seeing the diversity of writing in the Bruce sterling edited anthology I might not have grasped what SF short fiction was really capable of. I would guess that like many readers I found it in the wake of reading Neuromancer. ![]() ![]() Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology was the book that woke me up to what science fiction could be.

Secondly, despite claims that it was released in november 2020 I wasn't able to actually get hold of it until january 2021, either way, it's been almost a year since the release of the first book in 2019 and I can't recall the first too well, it was fine but did not leave a high impact in memory, so this story must be assumed to be able to stand on its own, but it doesn't. But.įirst of all it was originally the third book in a series of five, and in this reprint it is now the second book of only four planned, so apparently one whole book seems to have been dropped. I can't actually say I remember the original from 1980 very well, so it may have had a bit of nostalgic shimmer over it. ![]() ![]() This book is disappointing in so many ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Moonrise, the hero, James McKinley, is a Bud Light Bastien. In Black Ice, the hero, Bastien (be still my beating heart), is a layered, complex guy, struggling in ways the reader can see with morality, with the heft our actions have, and with what it means to give up oneself to love. In both Black Ice and Moonrise, the hero spends a great deal of time trying to decide between two approaches to the heroine: death or sex. ![]() At its finish, I was irked at much of it and yet, in many ways, it mirrors the themes found in the Ice series which, in general, I enjoyed. I mention Black Ice because Moonrise reads like a pale version of that book. It’s an older book-first published it in 1996, almost ten years before Black Ice. I picked Moonrise based on its high ratings on Amazon. I never know whether one of your books will work for me or not, but the ones that do- Reckless and Black Ice are two of my all-time favorite novels-really do. When I saw that many of your older titles were finally available as eBooks, I thought I’d check one out. ![]() Dabney C Reviews Category romantic-suspense 47 Comments ![]() |
