The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. ![]() Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Simone Elkeles has written multiple books that have enthralled many teen readers here at Niles West. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() True stories, made-up stories, and stories that fell somewhere in between.īut one night, in the middle of a particularly scary story, these five people make a pact with each other that says that the first one of them who dies is to make every effort to contact the others-from beyond the grave. As in the book that inspired it the Midnight Club is a gathering of terminally ill teens telling each other scary stories in front of the fire. Every night at twelve they met and told each other stories-tales of intrigue and horror, of life and death. At the hospice was a group of five young men and women who called themselves the Midnight Club. It was a place of pain and sorrow, but also, remarkably, a place of humor and adventure. Rotterham Home was a hospice for young people, a place where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die. Despite the name, The midnight club It is not just an adaptation of the book that bears the same title as the series. The main plot involving the Paragon, The Five Sisters, and Shasta/Julia Jayne is unique to the show when it comes to rituals. The novel spawned a 2022 television adaptation. On October 7th, 2022, the streaming service made available all 10 episodes, each of which was partly based on Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel of the same name. ![]() The Midnight Club is a YA horror novel by Christopher Pike, published in 1994. ![]() ![]() Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go. Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). ![]() Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. ![]() A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. ![]() ![]() ![]() I downloaded this book with some apprehension. Still the best telling of the Arthurian legend The Crystal Cave is the first of Mary Stewart's brilliant Arthurian Saga, telling the story of King Arthur from the perspective of the extraordinary, mysterious Merlin. Merlin will rise to power and enter history - and legend - as advisor to King Arthur. It is the home of Galapas, who becomes Merlin's tutor and friend, and who teaches Merlin to understand the world around him.and to harness the power of the crystal cave to see the future. ![]() One beautiful afternoon, while exploring the countryside near his home, Merlin stumbles across a cave filled with books and papers and hiding a room lined with crystals. Small and neglected, with his mother unwilling to reveal his father's identity, Merlin must disguise his intelligence - and hide his occasional ability to know things before they happen - in order to keep himself safe. So begins the story of Merlin, born the illegitimate son of a Welsh princess in fifth-century Britain, a world ravaged by war. The spellbinding story of Merlin's rise to power. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eliot Have a Future?,” and a recital, “Then Spoke The Waste Land: Songs and Fragments”.Ĭhinitz undertook a prospective exploration of Eliot’s status in the near future, considering a number of factors: his enduring reputation as a “cultural bigot,” the transformation of reading and access to culture/literature/information, the demise of classical/humanist studies, and the revisionist refashioning of university curricula excluding a canonical or historical sensibility. The programme also included a plenary lecture by David E. Seven panels on Eliot (comprising some thirty papers) examined the Waste Land as a symbolic or mythical space, as well as its presence in works by other American authors, and its relevance in an age of environmental awareness. To mark the centenary of The Waste Land, “Wastelands” became the meeting’s overarching theme, encompassing the various possible approaches to Eliot’s poem, and also the metaphorical aptness of its title, from capitalism in all its ferocity to the ageing body in all its frailty. The 34th European Association for American Studies (EAAS) Conference was held at the Madrid campus of the UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) during April 6-8, 2022. ![]() ![]() Instead, it’s a compilation of Sereny’s photos capturing the cinema and celebrities of the 1970s and ’80s, including actresses like Jacqueline Bisset and Charlotte Rampling, who-to give an idea of just how successful Sereny soon became-wrote the book’s introduction. ![]() Decades later, you can see her work for yourself in Through Her Lens, a new book published by ACC Art Books, though it doesn’t contain her early snapshots of children playing sports in her then home of Italy. Yet even after her husband recovered, Sereny kept at it-rather unsurprisingly, seeing as she had enough initiative to kick things off by hopping on a plane to London, where she strolled into the office of The Sunday Times and implored its staff to take a look at her photos. ![]() ![]() It was mere practicality that led the self-taught photographer Eva Sereny to her career: Midway through her 30s, following a car accident involving her husband that had her expecting the worst, she decided it was time to make the precautionary move of finding some work. ![]() ![]() The ugly reality after the fall of belief in a communist good proves again, for Miller, that the individual is always implicated in the state: there is no such thing as a private act. ![]() ![]() The protagonist of After the Fall, a lawyer, Quentin, examines his failed relationships with women and the ghosts of his past amid larger political and social failures like the aftermath of the Holocaust and the McCarthy Communist witch hunt. In Millers plays, typically, an individual consciousness pits itself against a norm or group-think or shared attitude to his ultimate benefit, a recognition of his inadequacy and the acquisition of humility. Not to suggest that the play, After the Fall, works on the audience like a dose of corrective salts. His high moral standards offer a tonic in these times, when morality seems no longer a criterion for judging behavior. ![]() He is always important, tackling big issues that echo in the mind long after the performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, the collection also expands on what we saw in the books and films, with rare artefacts from the British Library documenting the historical myths and beliefs that inspired Rowling and formed the foundation of the Harry Potter world. Naturally, the exhibition includes a series of early notes and sketches by JK Rowling as she created her stories. Photo: 'Harry Potter: A History of Magic' ![]() If you can't bear to wait for the collections to arrive, here's a peek at what’s to come. Luckily for those of us who couldn't make it to London, the collection will be exhibited Japan this year. The exhibition is currently showing at the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art through November 7, and will be on at Tokyo Station Gallery from Decemto March 27 2022. Long after the final book was published, Potterheads have remained unwaveringly loyal to the franchise, creating an ever increasing demand for all things Harry Potter. When the British Library opened its ' Harry Potter: A History of Magic' exhibition back in 2017, tickets sold out almost immediately. Ever since JK Rowling published her magical books about a boy with a lightning bolt scar, the world hasn't been the same. ![]() |
