The book begins with early history, and Nehru writes at length about the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other textbooks on the subject. It is his way of paying tribute to the country that he cherished so much as well as the vibrant culture that it possessed. This book was written by Nehru during his four years of solitary confinement in prison. Pandit Nehru brings to life an ancient culture and land that has been the base and headquarters of some of the world’s great traditions of philosophy, science, and art, as well as almost all of the world’s major religions, by analysing texts ranging from the Vedas to the Upanishads, epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, and personalities such as the Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi.ĭuring his time spent in jail for his involvement in the Quit India Movement (1942–1946), Jawaharlal Nehru published the book “The Discovery of India.” He did it while he was incarcerated at the Ahmednagar fort. In this book, Pandit Nehru begins with the ancient history of India and continues all the way up to the years immediately following the end of the British Raj. Estes has created a lexicon for describing the female psyche. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the ruins of the female unconscious. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Not that he is all that mature in his 40s. Because Rip clearly has a lot of growing up to do before he could be prepared to be in any kind of healthy relationship with another person. Do you think the age gap is a critical part of the story? Why?Įrin: That is a very good question that I have never considered. Luna and Rip fall in love while both desperately needing therapy. Grumpy boss Rip slowly warms to sunshine Luna while hiding secrets of his own. Ingrid, summarize the book IN THREE SENTENCES:Ĭar painter Luna crushes on her foxy angry boss while hiding details of her traumatic past. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t satisfying. Overall: I mean, it’s a classic Mariana Zapata–so it’s messy, sure. Plot: Luna spends her life making everyone happy except her boss, Rip Heat Factor: Zapata starts fires with sticks, reallyĬharacter Chemistry: It makes sense. The faults of this system were soon apparent. The first three presidents-George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson-had no say whatsoever concerning the identity of their vice presidents, as the Constitution stipulated that the runner-up in the balloting for president would get the job. If being vice president is like being lost at sea, it’s because, as history confirms, for too long presidents picked their VPs frivolously or carelessly and then left them to drift. Often, less-than-illustrious vice presidential performances have had less to do with the office itself than with the selection of running mates by presidents-to-be and how well, once elected, they made use of their seconds-in-command. But despite Marshall’s and Biden’s gibes, most latter-day occupants of the second office have been significant-in some cases, essential-presidential partners in governing the country, attesting to the power of the role. Not all vice presidents would say the same, especially most of the early, long-forgotten ones like Daniel Tompkins, George Dallas and William King. As the global political economy moves with ever greater determination toward the implantation of more thoroughly marketized economic relations, analysts must correspondingly focus more closely on how to prevent market-based power inequalities from undermining “development as freedom.” Centralization of power over the cultural flows that shape preferences is a more subtle form of “unfreedom” than those which Sen highlights, but no less powerful for being subtle. Nonetheless, the understanding and pursuit of “development as freedom” must go beyond the arguments he lays out. Sen showed his usual wisdom and astute judgement in keeping his argument carefully focused and, therefore, elegant and compelling.

The one he was regaling the room with when I arrived was an incident where he’d blown off a woman for the evening, only for her to turn up at his house and see him getting hot and heavy with someone else. Turns out he was quite the ladies’ man and had many close calls. We were in a pub, and he was telling anybody that would listen about the many mishaps in his love life.

Many reviewers have pointed out that Allende's first work of nonfiction reads like a novel-in fact, German and Dutch translations of Paula were subtitled "A Novel"-but the author differentiates between genres even in the book itself. The book that was never meant to be published became an instant bestseller in several countries. Like with her first, landmark novel, The House of the Spirits, Allende followed a personal tradition of letter-writing to begin Paula and did not think of the audience: "It was meant to become a journal that I would give to my children and my grandchildren," she said to Dockrell. Allende wrote the book while her daughter Paula was in a coma from 1991 to 1992 and uses her writing to preserve memories as she teaches herself to let her daughter go. An autobiography framed by the author's experience of watching her only daughter's slow death, the book is "equal parts heartbreak, humor and wisdom," as described by Cynthia Dockrell in her review for the Boston Globe. Paula, published in Spanish in 1994 and English in 1995, is the first nonfiction book by Isabel Allende, one of today's most influential Latin-American authors. |
