Captive Queen by Alison Weir6/30/2023 Theirs is a union founded on lust which will create a great empire stretching from the wilds of Scotland to the Pyrenees. This woman is Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, and her sole purpose now is to return to her vast duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, a man destined for greatness as King of England. It is the year 1152 and a beautiful woman of thirty, attended by only a small armed escort, is riding southwards through what is now France, leaving behind her crown, her two young daughters and a shattered marriage to Louis of France, who had been more like a monk than a king, and certainly not much of a lover. A special bundle of one fiction and one non-fiction title from bestselling historian Alison Weir, both exploring the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine.

She is just as at home (re)imagining, (un)learning and restor(y)ing sustainable worlds through quilting, pottery and crochet, connecting the head, the heart, the hand and the other. Guided by post-qualitative, new materialist, and Socio-Technical theories, as well as auto-theoretical encounters that often exceed the academy, she draws on an ever-evolving constellation of performative and transformative methodologies, to prise apart dominant knowledge practices, towards realities unseen, and towards more just and undisciplinary modes of thinking and doing. Her work focuses on practices of knowledge, reality and meaning-making across disciplines and topics.

Wells first men in the moon6/30/2023 An inheritance had allowed the family to acquire a shop in which they sold china and sporting goods, although it failed to prosper: the stock was old and worn out, and the location was poor. Called Bertie in the family, he was the fourth and last child of Joseph Wells (a former domestic gardener, and at the time a shopkeeper and professional cricketer) and his wife, Sarah Neal (a former domestic servant). Herbert George Wells was born at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, in Kent, on 21 September 1866. Bedford and Cavor discover that the moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilization of insect-like creatures they call Selenites. The novel tells the story of a journey to the moon undertaken by the two protagonists, a businessman narrator, Mr. Wells, who called it one of his fantastic stories. The First Men in the Moon is a scientific romance published in 1901 by the English author H.

"However, I seem to have discovered that this explanation is probably not true. So this argument seems justified on the face of it. If you go back through the editions through the years, you will discover minute changes throughout it. He is known to be very very meticulous about the exact versions of his texts and he's been changing the English and French editions over the years. "When Milan Kundera is asked about this, he says that he would have to revise the Czech original and he doesn't have time to do it. Jan Culik is a lecturer at Glasgow University. Milan Kundera has never given Czech publishers permission to put out his most popular book. Since its first publication the book has been translated into scores of languages, but the Czech original was only published by an exile publishing house in Canada in the 1980s. When the "Unbearable Lightness of Being" was first published, Milan Kundera was living in Paris where he had fled from communist Czechoslovakia in 1975. Twenty years since its first publication in English Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is still waiting to be published in the Czech Republic |
