5/23/2023 0 Comments A thousand ships novel![]() This is a must read for fans of greek mythology, especially those looking for a new perspective of a classic story. the writing provides such a vivid characterisation that, even in the shortest of chapters/stories, i felt so connected to the women. ![]() as calliope answers the pleas of a poet, she provides a compilation of the many women - goddesses, greeks, and trojans alike - whose lives were affected by the war.Īnd although this isnt told in chronological order, but rather an anthology of stories, the narrative is quite exceptional. whilst classic myths tell about the glory and conquests of men, this focuses on the often overlooked presence of women.Įlegantly written from the narration of calliope, the goddess of epic poetry, the reader is given a unique perspective that is often ignored. This retelling of the trojan war, including the actions that lead up to it and the consequences that followed, is quite refreshing. ![]() Sometimes it feels as if my hearts only purpose is to beat for greek mythology and this book is a gift, straight from zeus himself, to give me life. ![]()

The emotions that it explored was very unique for a murder mystery story. ![]() All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the novel. It provides an inside look into her life that tugs at your heartstrings.

Of the three sections, however, it is the lot of the souls in the Inferno that has had, by far, the greatest resonance with readers and artists. Although it recounts an actual physical journey, The Divine Comedy is also an allegory of the soul’s progress through sin (hell), penitence (purgatory), and redemption (paradise), the last being the joyful ending promised in the title. In naming his lifework Comedy, Dante employs an understanding of the word that means a narrative with a happy ending, unrelated to humor. Later, he is reunited with his beloved, Beatrice, who guides him up to purgatory, and then to Paradise, where, in a moment of ecstasy, Dante glimpses God. The Divine Comedy is a long poem recounting the author’s journey among the damned in hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. ![]() Completed just before Dante died in 1321, it consists of three parts- Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Ian mcewan on chesil beach review![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The material - playing with time, innocence, and sexuality - is strong, and the actors are game, but the movie is too long and relies on too much talk it misses a chance to visualize the drama. A main character gets drunk on a bottle of wine, and there are several instances of wine with dinner or social drinking, as well as smoking. Language includes infrequent uses of "t-ts," "bastard," "bitch," and more. There are also a few violent sequences: A woman is hit by the door of a moving train (resulting in brain damage), there's a brief fight with punching and kicking, and a man yells angrily at his daughter. Sex is, consequently, central to the movie there are scenes with full-frontal female nudity (as well as other partial nudity) and uncomfortable discussions about sex. It centers on a young couple in 1962 who are attempting to consummate their marriage without any experience with or knowledge of sex. Like that film, this one also stars Saoirse Ronan.
