Yet, nothing is mentioned about Gregor's demise the family appears nothing but indifferent towards the death of their breadwinner and son. This is how the story concludes on the prospect of a marriage for Grete and the possibility of good fortune. Kafka mentions that immediately after finding Gregor's corpse, the family boards a tram, and his parents notice that his sister Grete looks particularly beautiful. Through this seemingly minute detail, Kafka is able to evoke a sense of desperation in the character, coinciding with the bizarre nature of Gregor's current state.Īnother detail which contributes to the unsettling aura of the short story is Gregor's family's reaction to his death. His determination to protect the piece signifies a similar desire to cling to any form of prior humanness, and subsequently combat complete isolation. In his desperation, he clings to the picture, expressing immense fortitude in his decision to keep the painting. Towards the middle of The Metamorphosis, Gregor begins to display a fervent desire to keep a picture of a woman in his room. Since 1992 his commentary series on Vermont Public Radio has featured the state's best-loved ghosts, monsters, madmen, and mysteries. They include Shadow Child, Guardian Angels, The Gore, Lake Monsters and Deus-X. His novels - three of which have been optioned for motion pictures - present a dark and mystical side of the Vermont experience. It was supplemented by Passing Strange (1996), Green Mountains, Dark Tales (1999), The Vermont Ghost Guide (2000), and Curious New England (2003). Citro’s classic and best-selling Green Mountain Ghosts, Ghouls and Unsolved Mysteries (Houghton Mifflin 1994) was the most comprehensive collection of offbeat Vermont lore ever assembled and is now in its 10th printing, His twelve books include five novels of suspense, three volumes of historical oddities, a collection of regional humor, two travel guides, and a co-edited book of essays. Citro has done a lot to keep New England’s history and folklore alive in the popular culture. Native Vermonter, novelist, and public radio commentator, Joseph A. Images of Grandma’s row-house neighborhood and comfortable apartment, decorated with religious images and looking out on trees, tell readers more about their world. The pair are black: the child has a reddish Afro and Grandma sports beaded hair (and very cool shoes). With whom and how “belongs to no one else but you.” The child reiterates the lesson: what’s most important is the personal choice: “I am the one-and-only, top-boss, in-charge decider about sex in my life for my whole life.” Set on kraft paper, the collage illustrations have been assembled from a variety of materials including magazine pictures and photographs. “Sex is private.” It includes motion and feelings that grow and change as a child grows up. This is not a biology lesson or physical description it’s ethical and emotional. A speech-bubble conversation, occasionally interrupted by eating and play, accompanies narrative answers, stated simply but directly and stressing the child’s right to be curious. Higginbotham follows titles on death and divorce with a refreshingly different take on a child’s sex question. A small child asks Grandma what sex is and gets a wise response. How far such differences may extend we cannot tell all we know for certain is that everything they have in common is from the species and that all their differences are due to sexual difference. However, they are related, but by connections that elude our observations. From the standpoint of comparative anatomy and even upon cursory inspection one can see general differences between them which do not seem connected to sex. The difficulty in comparing them lies in our inability to decide in either case what is due to sexual difference and what is not. Yet where sex is concerned woman and man are both complementary and different. In whatever way one looks at them, the difference is only one of degree. The machine is constructed the same way, the pieces are the same, they work the same way, the face is similar. Thus let us begin by examining the similarities and differences between her sex and our own.Įxcept for her sex, woman is like a man: she has the same organs, the same needs, the same faculties. Sophie should be as truly a woman as Emile is a man, that is, she must possess all those characteristics of her species and her sex required to allow her to play her part in the physical and moral order. Of enchantment that enchants in its own right.įirst published in 1815 by Sir Walter Scott, then re-edited in 1893 by Andrew Lang, with a dedication to Robert Louis Stevenson, The Secret Commonwealth has long been difficult to obtain-available, if at all, only in scholarly editions. The Secret Commonwealth is not only a remarkable document in the history of ideas but a study It is a rare and fascinating work, an extraordinary amalgam of science, religion, and folklore, suffused with the spirit of active curiosity and bemused wonder that fills Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and the works of Sir Thomas Browne. Kirk defended these views in The Secret Commonwealth, an essay that was left in manuscript when he died in 1692. Late in the seventeenth century, Robert Kirk, an Episcopalian minister in the Scottish Highlands, set out to collect his parishioners’ many striking stories about elves, fairies, fauns, doppelgangers, wraiths, and other beings of, in Kirk’s words, “a middle nature betwixt man and angel.” For Kirk these stories constituted strong evidence for the reality of a supernatural world, existing parallel to ours, which, he passionately believed demanded exploration as much as the New World across the seas. After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before her daughter was even born. Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. The New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners returns with a witty and effervescent novel about what happens when two people with everything on the line are thrown together by science-or is it fate?

In the years following the couple had two sons, while Wilde published his serialized novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and made his way as writer and editor in London’s publishing scene. Wilde married Dublin heiress Constance Lloyd in 1884. Though a fledgling writer, Wilde’s fame as a proponent of Aestheticism grew during his yearlong lecture tour of the United States, England, and Ireland. Moving from Oxford to London upon graduation, Wilde then published his first volume of poems to some critical acclaim. At Oxford, Wilde came under the influence of tutor Walter Pater’s Aesthetic philosophy-“art for arts sake”-and developed a reputation as an eccentric, flamboyant, and foppish young man. An exceptionally gifted student, Wilde studied at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford, on scholarship. Oscar Wilde led a cosmopolitan lifestyle as a writer, playwright, journalist, intellectual, and aesthete.
