Catalogue of the Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical Documents Formed Between 18 by Alfred Morrison, 1883, p. Meyer had acquired this outstanding document from the collection of Alfred Morrison (cf. In this case, the addenda, bound in a matching half-calf volume, greatly surpass in value the works they accompany: 1) A precious letter by the Renaissance noblewoman Lucrezia Borgia, famous for her marriages and her affair with Pietro Bembo (signed "Lucretia Esteri de Borgia"), written in recommendation of Hector Beringero to the poet Antonio Tebaldeo (1463-1537), secretary to Francesco II Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua (later Lucrezia's lover). When the set was auctioned at the sale of the library of the author's grandson Georges-Victor Hugo, it was acquired by Arthur Meyer, the director of the prestigious daily "Le Gaulois" and a passionate collector who was wont to enrich, or "truffle", his books with appropriate rare autographs and drawings. A charming ensemble of three first editions of Victor Hugo's plays, each one inscribed by the author to his elder brother, the essayist and military writer Abel Hugo (1798-1855). Both volumes stored together in a matching calf-entry marbled slipcase. Autograph ink caricature, mounted on backing paper. A matching second volume contains: 1) Borgia, Lucrezia (1480-1519). All three bound in a single volume in slightly later half calf with giltstamped spine and marbled covers.

It’s basically the same novel as Slither. I’m off work at the moment though, so after about 2 weeks and 7 other novels, I got going on it. The plot is ludicrous, but the characters are believable, and when I finished this one, I wasn’t dreading the other books in the series.Īlthough I had enjoyed Slither, I didn’t really feel any great desire to immediately pick up Slime, the next entry in the series. He spends more time describing the protagonist’s complicated relationship with his wife. Halkin doesn’t waste much time describing the origin of the worms or their motives. This is the story of a TV cameraman during a killer worm attack on England. I mean, it didn’t win John Halkin the Nobel Prize for literature, but it kept me entertained for a few hours. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying it. I presumed it was going to be an exercise in scraping the bottom of the barrel, one of those awful novels I can only bare to skim. When I started reading Slither, I didn’t have high hopes. They’re more a trilogy of thematically, structurally and onomatopoeically similar books. The events in these books make no reference to the events in the others. I’ve seen people write these books off for seeming too silly, but I thought they were actually pretty entertaining. The titles and covers of the books in John Halkin’s Slither series are ridiculous, so ridiculous that I had to read them.

Has Hippolyta been struck down by madness or raised by the divine? Yes.”Īnd it’s not just Artemis. “It works okay in moving pictures,” Ha wrote, “but I knew it would work far better in non-moving pictures.” He doesn’t use it as a one moment trick, either, but a constant shifting of ambiguous reality. Ha turned to the subcategory of optical illusions known as “ambiguous images.” You almost certainly know some of the more famous examples: Is it a vase, or two faces? A duck, or a rabbit? An old woman, or a young one? It’s a trick of our brains’ ability to make sense of patterns that’s been used in fine art, cartooning and Highlights magazine, but Ha’s point of inspiration was Ari Aster’s Midsommar, which uses the shapes of trees and leaves to create unsettling subliminal faces. “Both a small figure, and greater than human, both fully true at the same time.” “I wanted Artemis to clearly be there, and to clearly not be there,” Ha wrote in the issue’s back matter. In the issue, the mortal woman Hippolyta comes face to face with the goddess of the hunt as she herself hunts for the Amazons.

Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through your fingers. Gwen discovers that this new world she inhabits is called Neverland, but it’s nothing like the Neverland you’ve heard about in stories. And Gwen begins to realize that maybe her mother isn’t so crazy after all… Gwen’s only saving grace is that her best friend, Olivia, is with her for the summer.īut shortly after their arrival, the girls are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and dragged into a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey. Her mother believes they are being hunted by brutal monsters, and those delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself. For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home. Knox “earned his living by various means such as peddling, knitting, farming, and lending rice and corn at 50% interest to the villagers (Sebastian: 2013 p 497). In his monograph he adored the Sinhala culture, certain Sinhala customs, folk lore, and the beauty of Ceylon. Knox enjoyed a considerable degree of freedom over twenty years before he made his escape. Knox, being an English sailor, was captured in 1659 by King Rajasinghe II of the Kandyan kingdom. Of all those Western/European travellers and writers who fell in love with the island of Taprobane or Sielediba or Serendib or Ceyloa or Zeylan or Ceylon or Sinhaladipa and wrote about it, three stand out for me. I had the privilege of reading the book titled ‘Sri Lanka: Paradise Lost Paradise Regained’ by Michael Naseby. UNICORN Publication: 2020 (Available on - $ 30).‘Sri Lanka: Paradise Lost Paradise Regained’ by Michael Naseby.‘Sri Lanka: Paradise Lost Paradise Regained’ is a must-read for all those who are concerned about the recent past and the promising but unclear future of the island of Sri Lanka It can be objected that I am speaking of political freedom in spiritual terms, but the political institutions of any nation are always menaced and are ultimately controlled by the spiritual state of that nation. “I have met only a very few people - and most of these were not Americans - who had any real desire to be free. The tendency has really been, insofar as this was possible, to dismiss white people as the slightly mad victims of their own brainwashing.” And perhaps this attitude, held in spite of what they know and have endured, helps to explain why Negroes, on the whole, and until lately, have allowed themselves to feel so little hatred. Negroes know far more about white Americans than that it can almost be said, in fact, that they know about white Americans what parents-or, anyway, mothers-know about their children, and that they very often regard white Americans that way. “The American Negro has the great advantage of having never believed the collection of myths to which white Americans cling: that their ancestors were all freedom-loving heroes, that they were born in the greatest country the world has ever seen, or that Americans are invincible in battle and wise in peace, that Americans have always dealt honorably with Mexicans and Indians and all other neighbors or inferiors, that American men are the world's most direct and virile, that American women are pure. |
