![]() ![]() But overall I enjoyed this book so much, and now that I have seen Sedgwick in action writing contemporary, I can’t wait to experience his horror stories. I say “near perfect” because I was a little disappointed in the final reveal of the mystery (why Laureth’s Dad was missing), and some of the action scenes at the end felt out-of-place to me. I thought the book was a near perfect balance of mystery, family drama, adventure tale, and educational piece about coincidences. ![]() This fact allows her to have an upbeat attitude, which gets her through some very tricky situations in this story. She’s blind, for one thing, but because she was born that way, she’s never had sight and never feels as if she’s missing anything. The book wasn’t quite what I expected in some ways, but in others I was thoroughly delighted. I’ve been trying to get to Midwinterblood for, well, forever, and it wasn’t until I received She Is Not Invisible from NetGalley that I finally put Sedgwick on my reading schedule. I have to go on pretending I’m this confident person, because if I don’t, if I’m quiet, I become invisible. Aren’t you scared?”Īnd then, that was it, I was crying, too.īecause, yes, I was. I held Benjamin until he stopped sobbing, and I told myself I wasn’t alone. The nitty-gritty: A completely original story with a brave and plucky main character, filled with fascinating information about the nature of coincidence, and lots of heart and emotion to tie it all together. ![]() Source: e-ARC from publisher via NetGalley ![]()

So began the most celebrated and mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS. In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was radical and entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit that would inflict mayhem behind enemy lines.ĭespite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he could find.

In the dialogue on land and sea animals, for instance, interlocutors are asked to judge a contest among ambitious rhetoricians. Even in these works, however, the traditional questions of political and moral philosophy are not entirely absent. Others, like “Whether Land or Sea Animals are More Intelligent,” take up topics in natural philosophy, or, like “The Obsolescence of Oracles,” theology. Some of his writings, like “On Moral Virtue” or “Controlling Anger,” seem nevertheless to fit easily under the heading of moral essays. Plutarch himself did not conceive the Moralia as a single work. With the title “Moralia” Plutarch’s editors indicated what they took to be the central theme of the varied dialogues, treatises, and orations that have come down to us under his name. ![]() The two collections differ significantly, however, in form and content. Both testify to Plutarch’s philosophical interest in human excellence, and both have won admiration from illustrious figures like Montaigne, Shakespeare, Rousseau, and the American founders. Plutarch’s writing comes down to us in two voluminous collections: the Moralia and the Lives. ![]() |
