The Melbourne Theatre Company had asked me to make a series of podcasts to accompany their current season, which included Coward’s Private Lives, so Hoare and I met, me with a recorder, he clutching a bicycle helmet, in the Brutalist cavern of the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank. In addition to Coward, he also wrote a life of the aristocratic ‘bright young thing’ Stephen Tennant ( Serious Pleasures ) and a study of an infamous trial featuring the play Salome, in Oscar Wilde’s Last Stand (1997). ![]() It turned out that before turning to cetaceans he had an earlier career, in the 1990s, as a biographer. ![]() So when, in search of an expert on Noël Coward, a theatre friend recommended Hoare, I didn’t realise that she was referring to the same person. ![]() I’m an admirer of the English writer Philip Hoare and his oceanic works Leviathan or, The Whale (2008) and The Sea Inside (2013), explorations and meditations on cultural responses to the marine and his own relationship with the sea and its creatures. ![]() It’s odd when you know someone in one context and then discover him in a completely different one. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() When a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because she’s a Very Good Person. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client’s Best Woman would be the one that got away. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn’t gone exactly as planned. It’s been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot’s cold, dead heart thumps in her chest. While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Grant-her childhood friend, her first love, her first… well, everything. And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. But now her entire crew has found "the one " and she’s beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she’ll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much.

As early as the title of the alleged self-account of her life, Historia de la monja alférez, Catalina de Erauso, escrita por ella misma, readers become aware of an impending dissonance in gender performance. ![]() Although she never officially professed to any religious order, Catalina de Erauso's epithet represents two distinct yet relevant realities, one which points to her life as a female novitiate in the Iberian Peninsula, while the other highlights her military prowess as lieutenant in the New World. Early modern scholars continue to recognize and celebrate the Lieutenant Nun as historical figure, gender transgressor, theatrical persona, and myth. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL24328444W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 91.22 Pages 150 Pdf_module_version 0.0.20 Ppi 360 Republisher_date 20230126125933 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 236 Scandate 20230124113244 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9789750506765 Tts_version 5. yaz:emrah serbesyorum:mustafa hazarinstagram :mustafahazar iirlerin devam iin kanala abone olmay unutmaynz.hep iirle kaln.istek,destek,neri.inst.

That plot was created using this Sage / Python script, running on the SageMathCell server. The maximum monthly variation occurs when the Earth-Moon system is near perihelion or aphelion. The mean distance over that period is roughly 384,975 km. Here's a daily plot (courtesy of JPL Horizons) of the Earth-Moon distance for 13 ( anomalistic) lunar months. The size of the Moon's orbit varies over the course of the year. As I mentioned here, the Moon's orbit around the Earth-Moon barycentre has an eccentricity of ~0.0549 and it's quite dynamic, with relatively short apsidal and nodal precession cycles, primarily due to perturbation by the Sun. ) The Moon's orbit around the Earth is only approximately a constant Keplerian ellipse. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first thing that appealed to me upon receiving my review copy is the book’s format. How wrong I was! I cannot think of a more excessively diverting manner in which to introduce my daughter to Austen than through this sweet book. I doubted that the spirit of Austen’s most famous novel could be captured in a manner accessible to children. ![]() I admit to feeling a bit skeptical when I first heard of the concept. How apropos that Jennifer Adams’ new book, Little Miss Austen: Pride and Prejudice: A Counting Primer, should be released at just this time. My beautiful baby girl now dominates my life, and my Austen interests have necessarily suffered as a result. Then suddenly, in a single moment, dear Jane was demoted to my number two concern. Until three months ago, a single obsession ruled my world. ![]() ![]() ![]() But Lon Chaney and Disney cartoons notwithstanding, this story is as much about the city of Paris and Our Lady of Paris as it as about a hunchback and a gypsy dancer. At some point an English translator decided that Quasimodo was the main character, and so forever after Hugo's novel has been translated into English as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Most of the film adaptations (starting with the 1923 Lon Chaney one) cast it as a gothic horror piece, thus associating the "hunchback" reference even more strongly with the novel. Contrary to what every movie based on the book would lead you to believe (see below), it is primarily about Paris and the cathedral and medieval French society, against which backdrop a story of obsessive lust, naive love, and betrayal unfolds. The proper title of Victor Hugo's novel is Notre-Dame de Paris. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written with a profound sense of tragic irony, Hugo's powerful historical romance remains one of the most thrilling stories of all time. When Esmeralda is condemned as a witch by Claude Frollo, the tormented archdeacon who lusts after her, Quasimodo attempts to save her but his intentions are misunderstood. It is the story of Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of the Notre Dame Cathedral, who falls in love with the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda. Set amid the riot, intrigue, and pageantry of medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's masterful tale of heroism and adventure has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1831. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like these stories, Mark Reibstein’s “Wabi Sabi” - chosen this fall as a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book - has a familiar scenario: a cat named Wabi Sabi seeks her name’s meaning, elicits various responses and comes home wiser. “Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story From China” (1989) won him a Caldecott Medal with its dramatic pictures (including a particularly fearsome wolf), creatively enhanced by the thematic use of light and shadow - which also resonates in his dedication: “To all the wolves of the world for lending their good name as a tangible symbol for our darkness.” He added a dimension to the Indian fable of the blind men and the elephant with “Seven Blind Mice”: Six mice, in rainbow colors, misconstrue the bits of the elephant they touch, but the seventh - white, like unrefracted light - explores the whole and grasps the truth. ![]() In a long, distinguished career, Ed Young has often conveyed the depth of apparently simple stories through his illustrations. ![]() |
