Ostensibly stories for children, they are deeper and wiser than many adult novels. And with water, and boats, and dragons, “thin-winged and spiny-backed”. There are more Earthsea novels and more adventures, including The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu, all filled with Le Guin’s particular form of magic, which involves giving things their true names. (Sounds familiar? Le Guin told the Guardian that JK Rowling “could have been more generous” in acknowledging the 1968 novel.) While there, his pride tempts him into the summoning of a “shadow”, a beast that he will try to escape for the rest of the novel, and which thing of darkness he will only overcome by acknowledging as his own. Ged is whisked away by a great mage, Ogion, and studies at a school for wizardry. One of her earliest works, this novel is set in the world of Earthsea, an archipelago of islands, and follows the coming of age of the young wizard, Ged, from the island of Gont. “From the towns in its high valleys and the ports on its dark narrow bays many a Gontishman has gone forth to serve the Lords of the Archipelago in their cities as wizard or mage, or, looking for adventure, to wander working magic from isle to isle of all Earthsea,” begins Ursula K Le Guin, in her ringingly clear register. ![]() ![]() ![]() His expertise in medieval literature and a lifelong love for story and mythology fertilized a verdant imagination. Lewis’s classical training and keen intellect equipped him with razor-sharp reason. Lewis’s legacy endures 50 years later, his writing remaining a great gift to both the church and the world. Let's take a deeper look at what made this Oxford medieval literature professor one of the most influential Christians in history. Whether through his fantasy series, the Chronicles of Narnia or his apologetics classic Mere Christianity, or his satire The Screwtape Letters, the chances are quite good that you've heard his name and read at least one of his books.

People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.Īs bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. ![]() Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness-not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. Usually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time, unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() The papyrus scrolls of Herculaneum, which were discovered in 1752, have long fascinated and frustrated lovers of antiquity. ![]() It said, in French, “Box containing the remains of papyrus from Herculaneum”-the Roman town destroyed, along with its larger neighbor, Pompeii, in the eruption of Mt.

These white bugs produced a potent red dye so sought-after by artists and patrons that it quickly became the third greatest import out of the “New World” (after gold and silver), as explains Victoria Finlay in A Brilliant History of Color in Art. ![]() ![]() Centuries later, during the 16th and 17th centuries, the most popular red pigment came from a cochineal insect, a creature that could only be found on prickly-pear cacti in Mexico. The invention of new pigments accompanied the developments of art history’s greatest movements-from the Renaissance to Impressionism-as artists experimented with colors never before seen in the history of painting.įound in iron-rich soil and first employed as an artistic material (as far as we know) in prehistoric cave paintings, red ochre is one of the oldest pigments still in use. Since then, the history of color has been one of perpetual discovery, whether through exploration or scientific advancement. Artists invented the first pigments-a combination of soil, animal fat, burnt charcoal, and chalk-as early as 40,000 years ago, creating a basic palette of five colors: red, yellow, brown, black, and white. ![]() |
