The novel opens with a page of fragments detailing the birth of polar explorer Eivor Minervudottir in 1941, on the Faroe Islands. The arctic explorer who Ro is writing about is always called by her name, which is Eivor Minervudottir. ![]() The other three contemporary characters and their labels are as follows: Susan, who is the wife, Mattie, known as the daughter, and Gin, who is called the mender. Ro is referred to as the biographer in her sections, which are all titled "The Biographer." The other narrators only refer to her by her name when discussing her in their own sections. These labels are also the titles of their respective sections. The four contemporary characters all have names, but are referred to by specific labels in their own sections. The novel jumps back and forth between these five different perspectives, and each section from a contemporary narrator's point of view is sandwiched by excerpts from Ro's biography on the polar explorer. Four of the narrators are living at the same time in the same coastal Oregon town, while the fourth is a nineenth century arctic explorer, and the subject of a biography one of the narrators - Ro - is writing. Red Clocks, by Leni Zumas, is told from the perspectives of five different women. ![]() ![]() ![]() landed some lucky minutes with Gibbons to talk about his new book and the upcoming film, and why sucking on a sugar-coated chili is better than sucking on a sweetie. ![]() From his acclaimed work on Watchmen, 2000 AD and Doctor Who to DC Comics' crown jewels like Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and more, he has proven to be one of comics' greatest artists. Whatever the fan reaction, Gibbons' own legend is secure. That kind of homage could keep Watchmen loyalists, especially the cynics, at bay when the film finally drops. In fact, Snyder once showed me his sketchbook for Watchmen, which in some sections was a panel-for-panel lift from the original. He's impressed by what he has seen already and hungers for more, but it's no wonder: His artwork is directly quoted at length by the film. Unlike Moore, whose distaste for Hollywood and cinematic versions of his work is legend, Gibbons has gotten behind Snyder's movie with gusto. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Battle Cry, she delivers the message that we weren't created to be the hero of our own stories-we were created to be the rescued.

Weber's main intellectual concern was in understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularisation, and the ensuing sense of " disenchantment". Also unlike Durkheim, Weber was a key proponent of methodological anti-positivism, arguing for the study of social action through interpretive rather than purely empiricist methods, based on a subjective understanding of the meanings that individuals attach to their own actions. Unlike Durkheim, Weber did not believe in monocausal explanations, proposing instead that for any outcome there can be multiple causes. While Weber did not see himself as a sociologist, he is recognized as one of the fathers of sociology, along with Karl Marx and Émile Durkheim. His ideas profoundly influence social theory and research. Maximilian Karl Emil Weber ( / ˈ v eɪ b ər/ German: 21 April 1864 – 14 June 1920) was a German sociologist, historian, jurist and political economist, who is regarded as among the most important theorists of the development of modern Western society. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yeats and his circle, Synge's mother and Molly's family all strongly disapproved of their compromising liaison, which O'Connor conjures here with lyric intensity. Synge co-founded Dublin's Abbey Theatre with WB Yeats and Lady Gregory, and his protestant, Anglo-Irish heritage fuelled the furore that surrounded his influential plays (riots marked the 1907 première of Playboy of the Western World two years before his early death). "Certain biographers will want to beat me with a turf shovel," Joseph O'Connor admits with commendable openness while acknowledging the licence his latest novel takes with the documented lives of his two famous principals: John Millington Synge, perhaps Ireland's most eminent playwright of the 20th century and his fiancée, the actress Molly Allgood. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is illustrated by Beth and Joe Krush.

García Jr., Martin's co-author for The World of Ice & Fire, reported that he had spoken with Martin at WorldCon 75, held in 2017 in Helsinki, about the first volume of Fire & Blood. In 2014, more than 200,000 words were removed from the manuscript of Martin's companion book The World of Ice & Fire and were incorporated into Fire & Blood. The second half of this first volume (an expanded version of The Princess and the Queen) has been adapted into the HBO series House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones. The first volume was released on November 20, 2018. ![]() Although originally planned for publication after the completion of the series, Martin has revealed his intent to publish the history in two volumes as the material had grown too large.
