![]() ![]() As one would expect, after more than five hundred years, some of these remain familiar to scholars others, of course, have become more or less obscure. Vespasiano's description of its contents is especially interesting for its recitation of the authors and works that the Duke and his advisors felt should be included in his library. When Federico de Montefelto, Duke of Urbino set about building a library he hired Vespasiano to supply all of its books. These were first published in print as Vite di uomini illustri del secolo xv by Ludovico Frati (Bologna, 1892-93) they were translated by William George and Emily Waters as The Vespasiano Memoirs: Lives of illustrious Men of the XVth century by Vespasiano da Bisticci, Bookseller (1926). He retired in 1480 supposedly disappointed by the changes in the book trade brought about by printing.īy the 1440s Vespasiano owned a bookshop in Florence patronized by members of Florence's humanist community, through whom he was in contact with local scribes, illuminators and binders. Though he was not particularly well educated and had only a modest knowledge of Latin, he was a very shrewd businessman, and he left valuable memoirs informing us of some of his achievements. ![]() Having begun his career as a cartolaio, a stationer or dealer in paper and parchment, Vespasiano da Bisticci became the leading bookseller in Italy during the decades immediately before the invention of printing, and during the first years of its introduction in Italy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Musical, cinematic, muscular, delicate, and soaring, Apeirogon is a novel for our time.

For those of you who haven’t read the series, I will try to not ruin it for you but I make no promises so be warned this post might contain some spoilers so read at your own risk….my advise, just start reading Book I now you won’t regret it! ![]() Īs I mention earlier, with Book I, I could hardly put it down from the moment I picked it up and not much has changed between Book I and Book II.īook II picks up where Book I ended naturally, and follows the life of husband and wife, Claire and Jamie. On Saturday I finished the second book in the Outlander Series, Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon which is of course part of the Outlander Series Reading Challenge hosted by moi. ![]() ![]() ![]() More than 4 million copies have been sold in at least a dozen languages. But it resonated widely for a long time and with many people, Jewish and non-Jewish, rocketing to the top of The New York Times’ best-seller list. ![]() It is a view that runs afoul of traditional Jewish teaching about God, and it earned Kushner critics among some Orthodox Jews and also drew rebuttals from other Jewish theologians. Ultimately, he concludes that God’s ability is limited when it comes to controlling the hazards of life that result in tragedy on a widespread and smaller scale, such as the Holocaust and the death of a child. ”Can I, in good faith, continue to teach people that the world is good, and that a kind and loving God is responsible for what happens in it?” he writes. In the book, Kushner labors to reconcile the twin Jewish beliefs in God’s omnipotence and his benevolence with the reality of human suffering. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For me, that was the occasion when I encountered the real Amos Wilson, "Afrikan Warrior Extraordinaire." Although I wasn't able to meet him directly at that time since he was only in attendance for his presentation, I knew intuitively that our coming together was inevitable given that our ideological spirits resonated so naturally. It was a powerful presentation and the most compelling one that I heard on that particular day. He gave a riveting speech about the realities of White Supremacy Domination (WSD) over Africans and how it affected the everyday lives of African children in America and throughout the continent of Africa. My first personal encounter with him did not occur until 6-7 years later around 1986 at the 3rd or 4th Annual ASCAC Conference in Harlem, NYC. I first became aware of Amos Wilson when his book "The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child" was published in 1979. He was a workaholic, keenly focused on the task at hand, and a deep Afrikan-Centered Critical Thinker (ACCT). I have known only a very few psychological visionaries in my lifetime those who have tried to grasp the whole picture of Afrikan existence from a psychological point of view or perspective. ![]() ![]() ![]() My most recommended would either be to watch the 1989 adaptation which is much scarier and has fewer changes apart from its ending, it also has an excellent cast and is truly almost as scary as the book.įinally the play I remember being very good but to be honest it has been a long while since I last saw a production so until it is fresh in my head again I cant truly give too much opinion on it. There are multiple adaptations of the book and I am pleased to say that I think I have seen all of them the most recognisable would probably be the Daniel Radcliffe adaptation from 2012 my least favourite due to its major differences to the original story even adding a “happier” ending compared to most other versions. ![]() ![]() The story is perfectly written and to be loved by any horror fan although trigger warnings for the deaths of children and one near the end of the novel which is particularly horrible to read about might put some readers off. ![]() The book is truly terrifying throughout its gothic nature and disturbing story telling the deaths of children as innocent as they can be is always something we don’t want to think about and this story uses such a dark premise to make the reader truly feel threatened by its antagonist and will have you secretly praying that you don’t meet eyes with such a grizzly ghoul. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fatal Witness, the seventh Erika Foster novel, is now available to pre-order and will be published 7th July 2022.
