Just before graduating with a BA in English he won the Gregory Power Poetry Award. He went to university with no idea what to do with his life and, to make matters worse, started writing poems in his first year. Crummey's debut nov Born in Buchans, Newfoundland, Crummey grew up there and in Wabush, Labrador, where he moved with his family in the late 1970s. 1998 also saw the publication of a collection of short stories, Flesh and Blood, and Crummey's nomination for the Journey Prize. He published a slender collection of poems called Arguments with Gravity in 1996, followed two years later by Hard Light. First prize was three hundred dollars (big bucks back in 1987) and it gave him the mistaken impression there was money to be made in poetry. Born in Buchans, Newfoundland, Crummey grew up there and in Wabush, Labrador, where he moved with his family in the late 1970s. As well as her travels and research she also draws on her own family life, from trying to explain Shakespeare’s Shylock to a curious ten-year-old to her anger when swastikas are drawn on desks in her children’s school. She challenges us to confront the reasons why there is so much fascination with Jewish deaths and so little respect for Jewish lives unfolding in the present. In the much-anticipated People Love Dead Jews: Reports From A Haunted Present, Horn reflects on subjects as far-flung as the international veneration of Anne Frank, the mythology that Jewish family names were changed at Ellis Island, the blockbuster traveling exhibition Auschwitz, the marketing of the Jewish history of Harbin, China, and the little-known life of the “righteous Gentile” Varian Fry. Often asked to write on subjects related to Jewish culture – and increasingly in response to a recent wave of deadly antisemitic attacks – she was troubled to realise what all these assignments had in common: she was being asked to write about dead Jews, never about living ones.

But finding one's longitude, the lines that connected the north and south poles, was much more difficult. The (true) story is great: legendary historical figures like Isaac Newton, Galileo, James Cook, King George III scientific conundrums innovative engineering a ransom of millions at stake and a humble, lone man competing against oppressive and manipulative big-wigs.īackground: Latitude lines are the parallel lines that circle the globe above and below the equator, and any sailor could figure out his latitude by measuring the length of the day or looking at the angle of the sun or the north star. It was the first non-fiction book, I think, that I really couldn't put down. I first read Longitude, by Dava Sobel, just after I finished high school, and I devoured it in a sitting or two. As the war raged on, he covered its major events, including the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, and the Battle of Berlin. He became a war reporter for the popular Red Army newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star). Grossman was exempt from military service, but volunteered for the front, where he spent more than 1,000 days. When the Great Patriotic War broke out in 1941, Grossman's mother was trapped in Berdichev by the invading German army, and eventually murdered together with 20,000 to 30,000 other Jews who did not evacuate Berdychiv. Young Vasily Grossman idealistically supported the Russian Revolution of 1917. His father had social-democratic convictions and joined the Mensheviks.

The fascination with Anne derives from the sensational circumstances of her courtship, marriage, and death - "the most romantic, the most scandalous tragedy in English history" (319). Anne helped Henry make this revolution: a woman of charismatic will and political acumen, she stiffened his resolve in facing down Rome, securing his divorce, and asserting the royal supremacy, or headship of the new Church of England. The story runs from the first moments of Henry's doubts about the legitimacy of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon through his break with the papacy (1533-34) and attack on the monasteries (1536). During this period Anne's fate was bound inseparably to that of the English church and state. Anne Boleyn's rise and fall at the court of Henry VIII spanned ten momentous years (1526-36) marking the origins of the English Reformation, one of the great revolutions of the early modern era. |
