He must have looked at what the preachers said about God and felt that they were blaspheming. In fact, I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religion, although he strikes me as a basically very religious man. It's very magnificent and shouldn't be taken for granted. That is, one should have some kind of respect and awe for the whole business. " I do see the design of the universe as essentially a religious question. The excerpt came from a specialist in general relativity theory named Charles Meisner, a man who shared Albert Einstein's attitude toward organized religion about 50 years ago. ![]() " My personal passion to make God supreme took a tremendous leap forward several years ago when I read an excerpt from a journal called " First Things ". Our mission statement says, " We exist to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples.

![]() ![]() ![]() Williams's views on the role of the little theater in American culture are contained in a stimulating essay, "Something wild.," which serves as an introduction to this collection. He can compress the basic meaning of life-its pathos or its tragedy, its bravery or the quality of its love-into one small scene or a few moments of dialogue. Whether Williams is writing of derelict roomers in a New Orleans boarding house ( The Lady of Larkspur Lotion) or the memories of a venerable traveling salesman ( The Last of My Solid Gold Watches) or of delinquent children ( This Property is Condemned), his insight into human nature is that of the poet. Only one of these plays ( The Purification) is written in verse, but in all of them the approach to character is by way of poetic revelation. They are full of the perception of life as it is, and the passion for life as it ought to be, which have made The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire classics of the American theater. ![]() The thirteen one-act plays collected in this volume include some of Tennessee Williams's finest and most powerful work.

Amazon madame bovary7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() The production values are very high being evocative and opulent, Emma's dresses are simply to die for, and the whole adaptation is attractively photographed, not from personal view coming across as dated at all. This mini-series is a perfect length, the book is big and very detailed and complex that wouldn't have been done complete justice in a film, and is the pacing is also just right, deliberate but never stodgy thanks to the quality of the writing and performances. The others being the excellent but too short 1934 film from Jean Renoir(who intended for it to be twice as long as it was), the very good if lacking-in-depth-and-edge(that's what the Production Code does) Vincente Minnelli film with the glorious ballroom sequence, the well-made if cold 1991 film with Isabelle Huppert and the decent 2000 version with Frances O'Connor. ![]() This mini-series is the best of the five, the only one actually that I truly loved. ![]() ![]() All five versions standing on their own are watchable at least, though neither are as savagely biting as the classic book. ![]()

Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds-from the infamous “kidney theft ring” hoax to a coach’s lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony-draw their power from the same six traits. Meanwhile, people with important ideas-entrepreneurs, teachers, politicians, and journalists-struggle to make them “stick.” Mark Twain once observed, “A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.” His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus news stories circulate effortlessly. ![]()

2666 by bolano7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Violencia e historia se entretejen con temas recurrentes en la obra del autor: la literatura, la búsqueda y la crónica de la realidad. Con una fuerza arrolladora, en 2666 Bolaño crea una obra magistral que rompe con todas las tendencias literarias conocidas y abre el camino a seguir por la narrativa del siglo XXI. ![]() En el epicentro del Mal, nada puede parar el horror. Pero el corazón del relato se encuentra en «La parte de los crímenes» donde, con la precisión de un bisturí, Bolaño narra los asesinatos de mujeres cometidos en Santa Teresa y las infructuosas investigaciones de la policía. ![]() ![]() Allí conocerán a Amalfitano, el profesor universitario chileno que, junto con su hija, se establece en la ciudad, a la que también llegará el periodista estadounidense Oscar Fate para retransmitir un combate de boxeo.
