Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English writer chiefly known for his works on the British rule in India.įive days after Rudyard Kipling’s death on 18 January 1936, George Orwell published a short essay in the New English Weekly as an obituary or as a sort of tribute to the “household god” with whom he had grown up:įor my own part, I worshipped Kipling at thirteen, loathed him at seventeen, enjoyed him at twenty-five and now again rather admire him. Kipling’s parents considered themselves Anglo-Indians and the complex issue of identity and nationality was a prominent feature in his works as the writer himself wrote in his autobiography. Kipling was named after the Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire, England which his parents loved as a place of beauty. ![]() His mother was a lively woman and his father was a sculptor and pottery designer who went on become the Principal of Architectural sculpture at Sir Jamestjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Bombay. ![]() In India, he was born in Bombay, presently called Mumbai to a British Family on 30 December 1865 to Alice Kipling and John Lockwood Kipling.

![]() ![]() ![]() In the end I took it off the cat, but I wish I’d made that work because, when I’ve occasionally daydreamed about the etymology of phrases, I’ve always felt drawn to “the shirt off my back”.Īt the end of the shoot, my lead, Jemima Kirke, slipped off a diamond and ruby fox ring and handed it to me – the ring off her own finger! I was touched by the gesture and by the echo from a woman I’d cast as “me”: I’d done this same thing myself to friends when I felt they needed moral support, unhooking a bracelet or brooch and pressing it into their palm. Expecting it to look like a striped cotton bandage, I was presented with a cat wearing an immaculately tailored miniature button-down. I’d asked the costume department to take a man’s shirt (which the lead character had stolen after a one night stand), and fashion it into something she fixes around her cat to stop it picking at its surgical stitches.

At the same time, Jomny's curious presence allows these characters to open up to him in ways they were never able to before, revealing the power of somebody who is just there to listen. ![]() The characters are unique and inventive-bees think long and hard about what love means, birds try to eat the sun, nothingness questions its own existence, a ghost comes to terms with dying, and an introverted hedgehog slowly lets Jomny see its artistic insecurities. ![]() There is a bear tired of other creatures running in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, a turtle hiding itself by learning camouflage, a puppy struggling to express its true feelings, and many more. Always feeling apart, even among his species, Jomny feels at home for the first time among the earthlings he meets. Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, an alien sent to study Earth. The illustrated story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, where he meets all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, while learning to feel a little better about himself-based on the enormously popular Twitter account. ![]() ![]() ![]() The discourse and its strategies relied heavily on the value-laden opposition between the dominant centre (us) and the troublesome periphery (them). The prevalent representation of Europe that -came into being at that time was based on the dichotomously constructed concepts of culture, civilization and progress underpinned by the us/them division. At the turn of the 19th century, such was the overriding conceptual paradigm espoused by the intellectual and political elites of Western Europe. Undoubtedly, the European "symbolic geography", or "imaginary geography", 1 still nurtures a vision of "better" and "worse" Europe.

You will cry during Clockwork Princess (especially the epilogue), but you will love the series and have the necessary information to understand what’s going on in The Last Hours.Īnd yes, you should dive into this read. If you haven’t read The Infernal Devices, go read that and come back. Chronically, it comes fifth: you need only read Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess (which make up The Infernal Devices series) and Chain of Gold (the first in the current series, The Last Hours) before you dive into this read. Chain of Iron is the sixteenth novel in the saga, which also includes three short story collections, to be published. Although there have been trends in the YA world that have later been mocked (Twilight) or regretted (as someone living in a pandemic, I’m still waiting for my love triangle, dystopian YA authors!), the Shadowhunters chronicles seem unlikely to be one of them.

Famous Persian kings are known to us from Greek writers such as Herodotus and Xenophon. ![]() ![]() Even their conqueror, Alexander the Great, quickly succumbed to Persian culture. The Achaemenids acted as a bridge between the earlier Near Eastern cultures and the later Classical world of the Mediterranean, and had a profound influence on Greece in political, military, economic and cultural fields. It originated with Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) and expanded under his successors - who ruled from the royal capitals of Susa and Persepolis - until at its peak it stretched from the Indus Valley to Greece and from the Caspian Sea to Egypt. Persia's Achaemenid Empire flourished between 550 and 331 BC, and encompassed a rich diversity of different peoples and cultures. ![]() |
