I would like to examine the way in which Conrad’s idea of “the People” is articulated in the discourse of the narrator and the main characters in the novel. For that purpose, I will draw on classical analyses of the novel in social and political key, as well as on recent theorizations of the concept of community. A particular notion of community is implicit in the denomination “the People” which I would like to explore in this article. In his “Author’s Note” to Nostromo, Joseph Conrad defines Nostromo, the character, as “a man of the People”. ![]() ![]() Anyone 18 and older must also present a government issued photo ID.

Join Stringfellow and writer-editor Christine Pride for an exploration of this brilliant interrogation of dichotomies-police brutality and justice, powerlessness and freedom, fate and forgiveness, doubt and faith, sacrifice and love. When Joan, the daughter of the family and an aspiring artist, begins to channel her hurt into sketching the women of North Memphis, she begins to paint her own path to healing. Tracing three generations of a family constantly redirected by violence, Memphis paints a stark reality of what it means to be Black in the American south. Inspired by the author’s own family history, Tara Stringfellow’s debut novel, Memphis, is a triumphant ode to the power of art in the face of brutality. ![]() All registrants will receive a link to livestream the event.

These are the times that try men’s souls. Scott Liell talked about his book 46 Pages: Thomas Paine, Common Sense, and the Turning Point to Independence, published by Running Press. The 1776 publication of Paines pamphlet was a momentous historical event. ![]() Liell answered audience members' questions. At a time when 1,500 copies sold was considered a publishing success, Paine’s book sold over 120,000 copies in three months at a time when America’s total population was roughly 2 million people. Published in January 1776, its argument for American independence influenced the founding fathers and the ensuing American Revolution. Many historians believe Common Sense, authored by the English immigrant Thomas Paine and published in January 1776, was instrumental in accelerating. The book tells the story behind Thomas Paine’s pamphlet “Common Sense” and emphasizes how it changed the conversation about America’s relationship to England.

More radical of his prepositions was the “mental revolution”. The ease with which people can move across countries, in his opinion, has exacerbated the decay of power. He examined the changing constellations of power of the State, Political Institutions, International Bodies, Businesses and Multinational Corporations.īy “more revolution” he meant that the exponential growth in population, life span, internet usage, media and knowledge amongst others, have made difficult the control of people and the consolidation of power. He premised his thesis on the “more”, “mobility” and “mental” revolutions, which are fostered through the “muscle”, “pitch”, “code” and “reward” channels of exercising power. ![]() ![]() The question that readily arises is “is power ending?” Backing his claim with numerous examples and testimonies from Authorities in various facets of human endeavor from academia, economic, social, religious to the political, his book is an important addition to the discourse on the ever-changing power dynamics of the world. He theorizes that power is easy to gain, difficult to use and hard to keep, in modern days. Moises Naim in his book “End of Power” challenges the traditional notion of power. ![]() ![]() ![]() Colloquially, the term "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story or tall tale it is used especially of any story that not only is not true, but could not possibly be true. In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy-tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy-tale romance". ![]() Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicit moral tales, including beast fables.

The Day of the Jackal follows a professional assassin, who is assigned to President Charles DeGaulle, a man who is put in high security after several assassination attempts. Irish screenwriter Ronan Bennett is set to write and serve as showrunner, while Brian Kirk will be the lead director. The drama series is inspired by author Frederick Forsyth’s espionage thriller and the 1973 film adaptation of the same name. Spy thriller The Day of the Jackal is getting a TV series adaptation at Peacock in partnership with Sky. ![]() ![]() ![]() The similarities between the two novels are limited primarily to the nearly identical premises of their stories.

It will do frightening things to your heart rate and it will make you want to throw up your lunch while inside this beast of a book.Īt the same time, “Battle Royale” is a story of heroism and humanity in the face of an impossibly dire situation. It will swallow you whole and spit you back up again only when you’re already half-digested. It is brutal, unforgiving, and merciless. “Battle Royale” is not for the faint of heart. ![]() |
