However, Nai Nai's death leads to the return of her father and their move from Tianjin to Shanghai. The next couple of months are considered wonderful, since the children are under the care of their grandparents, Nai Nai and Ye Ye. Soon after, Niang and her older boy follow. When the Japanese take over mainland China, her father disappears from their hometown of Tianjin for an extended period of time. Adeline immerses herself in striving for academic achievement in the hope of winning favor from her father, who reacted positively to her medal for academic success. Denied love from her parents, she finds some solace in relationships with her grandfather Ye Ye, and her Aunt Baba, sympathetic-yet-weakened adult figures. Niang proves to be difficult and distant towards all of the children, particularly Adeline, whilst favoring her own younger son and daughter born soon after the marriage. This situation is compounded by her father’s new marriage to a young French-Asian woman who has little affection for her husband’s five children. Adeline’s mother died shortly after her birth due to complications bought on by the delivery, marking her as cursed, or ‘bad luck’, by her siblings. Born the fifth child to an affluent Chinese family, her life begins tragically. This book is the autobiography of a young Chinese girl, Adeline Yen Mah. Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert ponders this very question in her Pulitzer Prize-winning book “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History.” Scientists as far back as Charles Darwin have long considered the idea that humans have been impacting the very balance of life on earth, though Darwin believed that extinction followed the same slow march of evolution - except during mass extinction events, when even he accepted that “the changes that had caused extinctions must therefore have been of a much greater magnitude, so great that animals had been unable to cope with them.”īased on cumulative studies of Earth’s geological record, it is understood that there have been five times in the planet’s history when environmental changes were so extreme that “the diversity of life” collapsed. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir and his own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. But on the brink of fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong. From the Publisher: Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. Popular appeals to the humanity of slaves, the invocation of rights, contractarian notions of property, self-possessed individualism, will, agency, responsibility, protection, and so on did not ultimately serve the struggle for black liberation in the U.S. She contends that there is a tragic continuity in antebellum and postbellum constitutions of blackness, and that the range of liberal, anti-slavery, and reform discourses that were ostensibly used to promote progressive causes actually facilitated violent, symbolic forms of domination in nineteenth-century America. Her message overall is a profoundly pessimistic one. Book Review, Anita Patterson, African American Review, Winter 1999, vol. If I could have married tennis, I would have. All I did was play, watch, or think about it. Actually, I was not even in the same zip code as the word “champion.” How could two guys, growing up in the same city, at roughly the same time, and playing the same sport have such different outcomes? Unlike Pete Sampras, however, I was not a champion. Both of us were skinny guys, with dark curly hair and a one-handed backhand. Like Pete Sampras, I grew up in Southern California playing tennis from a very young age. I have distilled what I feel are the seven most impactful lessons from his transformational book. His book, A Champion’s Mind – Lessons From a Life in Tennis, offers the insight into what separates the very good ones from the great ones. He is one of the greatest players of all time. Until Roger Federer came along, Pete Sampras held the record for winning the most Grand Slam titles of any player in history. Inside a Champion’s Mind: 7 Lessons I’ve Learned From Pete Sampras In many ways, the protagonist of the novel displays traits reminiscent of Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment the author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, being one of Hamsun’s main influences. His ordeal, enhanced by his inability or unwillingness to pursue a professional career, which he deems unfit for someone of his abilities, is pictured in a series of encounters which Hamsun himself described as a series of analyses. While he vainly tries to maintain an outer shell of respectability, his mental and physical decay are recounted in detail. Set in late 19th-century Kristiania (now Oslo), the novel recounts the adventures of a starving young man whose sense of reality is giving way to a delusionary existence on the darker side of a modern metropolis. Written after Hamsun’s return from an ill-fated tour of America, Hunger is loosely based on the author’s own impoverished life before his breakthrough in 1890. Hunger portrays the irrationality of the human mind in an intriguing and sometimes humorous manner. The novel has been hailed as the literary opening of the 20th century and an outstanding example of modern, psychology-driven literature. Extracts from the work had previously been published anonymously in the Danish magazine Ny Jord in 1888. Hunger (Norwegian: Sult) is a novel by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun published in 1890.

This show is a companion piece to episode #380 with Jacob Mchangama. We speak again with Marci Shore, professor of European cultural & intellectual history at Yale University. Above all this show is an attempt to put the war into context: What’s at stake for Western democracy, and what space does Ukraine fit in our history? Instead of talking about politics or the state of the war, we consider the battlefield of ideas. Their unity and bravery in the bloody, cruel year since the Russia invasion are an inspiration to the rest of the world. The people of Ukraine are facing down a military giant.
