Christian Woman celebrates 80 years of publication this year. Happy Anniversary! Juanita Ice Wood, Lorna Ice Simmons and R. D. Ice were published in years past in CW.
Nashville Churches of Christ History group is open to anyone interested in the history of the Stone-Campbell Movement in Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee. When I began the group about three years ago I said this:
I envision this community as a place to share common interest in the rich story of the Stone-Campbell Movement in Nashville. I am conducting research for a book which will highlight each congregation of Churches of Christ and Christian Churches from the 1810’s to the present…basically the entire movement from its beginning in our city until now. I envision this group as a place to share memories, photos, news and generate discussion and interest. Please join and contribute. Please feel free to contact me directly at icekm (at) aol (dot) com.
Since readership for this blog is significantly higher now than it was in 2010, let me offer another invitation. The group is open to all. Help spread the word and generate interest. (astogetherwestandandsing…)
Mimeographed typescript page, 8.5 x 11 in., of recommended reading material by Batsell Barrett Baxter, Minister at Nashville’s Hillsboro Church of Christ, ca. 1950’s. Likely the best way to date this is by Leon Ramsey’s editorship of Christian Chronicle.
Click above to download a document listing 319 variants of time-, place- and character-names for the 227 known congregations of the Stone-Campbell movement in Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee from 1812 to September 2012.
To my knowledge my work in this area is the only such compilation, and therefore, the most complete. The initial publication of the list to this blog was in May 2010 as a first step in my research toward a book on the Restoration Movement in Nashville. I blogged then:
With over 200 congregations in this county, the congregational research alone will take years, perhaps the remainder of my life. If I live to be 100 I may not finish even a rudimentary survey. It may be too much: too many congregations, too many preachers, too much ‘story’ to tell.
But this is where I am at the present. I publish the list here to generate interest, additions, subtractions, corrections and clarifications. Look it over and if I need to make changes, please let me know.
While congregational history is only one aspect of this project, this is where it all played out…on the ground in the congregations on a weekly basis. Few congregations have attempted more than a list of preachers or a narrative of the expansion of the church building. What I propose, as I wrote above, may be too much…too far to the other extreme. But that fact changes not one whit the necessity of it being done.
The story of these churches in Nashville needs to be told. I ask for your help in telling it. look over my list; I solicit your critique. Contact me at icekm [at] aol [dot] com.

Woman write about the wilderness: 25 main writers
Woman who writes about the wilderness are not easy to inscribe. This is not a definite checklist in any way, but if you have a foundation on some of the best natural writings that you probably haven't yet reread, you would do well to begin with these 25 of them. Thoreau is regarded as the founder of environmental protection in the United States, but he owe much of his work to the naturalists who came before him - and above all a novelist is long in coming.
In 1854, Thoreau Consultated Walden wrote in 1850 by Susan Fenimore Cooper, son of writer James Fenimore Cooper, for his Walden work. It is a one-year history around Cooperstown, New York, where she used to live, and it is the first US best-selling local wildlife observation work. In spite of its anonymity, "by a Lady" and Cooper's reputation as an amplitude researcher, the volume attracted the interest of some of the world' s first-timers.
Between 1907 and 1925 she also composed ten nature studies textbooks. Stratton Porter was the first US girl to found a film and television producing firm, Gene Stratton-Porter Productions, Inc. Whoever is interested in the californian nature story - which came before spread, smogs and Kardashians - should take up Mary Austin's 1903 classical The Land of Little Rain. Here are some of the best examples.
Austin captures a vanishing culture and physics scene more than a hundred years ago: the California Owens Valley's population, flora, policies and locality. It did so ten years before the town of Los Angeles redirected the Owens River in 1913, a era in the story known as the California Water Wars and perpetuated in the CWWW.
He disobeyed mandatory sex positions about how to let a woman study and speak about the physical realm, and she did it with humor, vigor and lyrics. "She is known for her essay, poems, plays und novel, for her pioneer work in the field of sci-fi and as an exponent of native culture.
Says she: "Often the most complete is when I have no goal, but have only gone out to be with the hill, how to visit a fellow without the intent to be with him. Shepherd often went "stravaigin" - a Scots word for hiking - when The Living Mountain was first published during the Second World War.
Today, Shepherd's typeface is rightly enjoying a revival - so much so that the Royal Bank of Scotland published a new 5 pound bill with her profile in 2016. She was in oceanology for Rachel Carson's daily work, and she composed the award-winning The Sea Around Us (1951), which was on the New York Times bestselling New York Times hit for 86 short time.
However, Carson is best known for her 1961 Silent Spring, which directly resulted in the establishment of the EPA. As a milestone in the conservation campaign, Carson's textbook showed the damaging impact of DDT on the environment and outlawed it. She asks in the book: "Why should we follow a low-calorie poison diets, a house with a bland environment, a group of acquaintances who are not quite our enemy, the sound of engines with just enough lightening to avoid arousal?
So who wants to be in a less disastrous environment? "In 2006, Discover Silent Spring called one of the 25 largest scientific textbooks of all times. Like Thoreau' s Walden, it is a "meteorological diary of the mind" (in her own words), a contemplation and a non-fiction about the more intimate vision of the aura.
Dillard won a Pulitzer Prize for pilgrims at the tender ages of 29, and the novel is still one of nature's most beautiful stories. Alison Hawthorne Deming is a descendant of the great US author Nathaniel Hawthorne and is a seldom-known, multidisciplinary lateral thinker: a scholarly author. She investigates the scientific, material and poetic worlds from the small to the starry sky with excellent observation and catchy confrontations.
There is no better place to explore her work with seven books of verse and five anthologies of Essays than the Esay "Science and Poetry": Deming's thoughts are connected by the common languages and the creativity of the two fields, as the cover says. in which she is passionate about the importance of typing in order to reconnect human beings with the physical realm and improve our own life, and her most recent work, Stairway to Heaven (2016), a compilation of verses about the death of her family.
It' an exquisite compilation of etudes - a mixture of memoirs, contemplation and poesy - that takes place in Wyoming and captures the stoical folk who call the dry countryside their home. "She has a gift for mystically expressing the peoples and places of Wyoming: "Ehrlich's 11 other volumes gleam with a sharp view of travelling and location, among them her 1991 narratives, Islands, the Universe, Home Ten Essay on Rituals, Natur and Philosophie - and A Match to the Hart (1994), an asentimental report on cure after a thunderbolt.
Do not close the volume if you sense a plains breeze while you read Dakota: It is a meditative process about how to learn to see more in less. "Norris' spirit search went beyond this work when she became a Benedictine wafer in 1986 and in 1997 became The Cloister Whale and Amazon Grace:
The Leslie Marmon Silko ceremony is the tale of a war vet trying to win back his inner harmony. In the alternation between poetic and prosaic the volume recounts the happenings in Tayo's live and shows how old Laguna rites connect him again with his coueblo peoples, flora and fauna. The Silko is considered to be the first character of the American aboriginal renaissance.
As Laguna Pueblo, Mexico and Mexico's leading story teller, she pervades all her works - fiction, poetry, film, shorts and essay - with concern for Indian tradition and the strengthening force of ritual. Grown up in the barren splendour of a new Mexico platform and first awarded the MacArthur Genius Award in 1981, Silko skilfully researches complicated relations between man andature.
She won her first novel, John Burroughs Medal for Science, entitled John Burroughs Moss: A Natural and Financial Care. The Sigurd F. Olsen Natural Science Award was given to tribal wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teaching of herbs. Kimmerer interweaves observation of the countryside with local perspectives that invites us to think about our relation to flora, fauna and the land - "an age-old dialogue between moss and rock...about lights and shadows and the continental drift...an intersection of immeasurability and smallness, of past and present, gentleness and toughness, silence and liveliness".
Themes from Amy Stewart's best-selling book. To Stewart, a Texas graft in California with a hallmark joke, the history of the physical universe is the greatest and most important history of mankind. "In a way, our desire to comprehend, conserve, even benefit from, and use the Earth's nature is the only story," Stewart said in an e-mail conversation.
This is The Plant That Creates the World's Great Drinks, full of liqueurs and horticulture histor. How many percent of US park patrons are actually African? When blacks make up twice the proportion of the US populace, why don't more colored men dare to enter America's official land, and does that mean they don't care about the Earth's surrounding?
They are strong issues of breed, identities and connections, which Carolyn Finney, a author, artist and culture geography, raises in her 2014 publication "Black Faces, White Spaces": Featuring a mix of erudition, memoirs and story, the volume is an academic yet exploratory reading, lichen analyzing with in-depth interviewing to explore the ecological heritage of enslavement, racism and Jim Crow separation, while also celebrate articles Americans have made to the world.
Featuring her 6th novel, Williams is weaving memoirs and nature to tell the double story of her mother's crab from nuclear tests and the floods of the Bear River Migratory Bush refuge. Ancient in the vast countryside of her homeland Utah, the volume oscillates between the unspoilt and the utterly unspoilt, between a familie ravaged by the nuclear bombings of the 1950s and a protected area for birds looted by development workers.
So dazzling is her writing that even centuries after I read Refuge for the first reason, I can still see the seals, eagles and bulls on the Great Salt Lake. There Williams also once found a corpse and laid his corpse in the form of a cross with two dark rocks over his eye and wrote: "With my own spittle, as my mom and granny had done to clean my face, I rinsed the corpse beak and the legs of the corpse until they gleamed like glitter.
" Zuflucht has become a classical of US natural literature in the contemplative quest for sense in the rhythm of living and dying. "Camille T. Dungy emailed me, "because I don't know how we can be truthful about who we are without realizing that we are the world.
" As a Colorado State University lecturer, Dungy has authored four volumes of poems and published Black Nature: It is an epic of four centuries of Africa American Natural History (2009). She questions the idea that the traditions of natural typing are based exclusively in the American and European regions, whether rural or savage. At the same token, he creates profiles of authors who saw the natural world as a fount of expectation, a seed of survivors.
Dungy's poesy is lively, intimate and clear and will stay with you long after you have closed the work. Trophic Cascade" is about a shifting eco-system after the wolf's arrival in Yellowstone, but the last few rows provide a curve ball: Journey's into Race, Motherhood, and Historie, was released in June.
"Andrea Wulf, a British based historicist and novelist, said: "All my works are about the relation between man andature. "But I don't like the classes put on a book, like'biography','history of science','garden history' or'natural writing'. "Wulf is the prizewinning novelist and has written five biographical works, among them The Brother Gardeners (2008) and The Founding Gardeners:
Revolutionary Generation, Mother Earth and the Formation of the Nation of America (2012). It' her intricate and gripping 2015 volume "The Invention of Nature": The way Alexander von Humboldt revolutionised our world has attracted the most interest. The discoverer of Humboldt, Wulf recalls him from memory and gives a comprehensive account of his own thoughts in the mid-19th century:
" After miscarriages, diagnoses of breastcancer and a note from her biological dam, English author and journalist Katharine Norbury embarked on a journey: to accompany her nine-year-old subsidiary and travel the Llyn Peninsula in Northwest Wales, following the river from the ocean to its well. The hike was intended as a kind of memorial to Norbury, combining it with sheets and mussels, but it evolved into an expansive and deep reflections on the curative powers of the natural world in a time of sorrow and amnesia.
The Journey Upstream is Norbury's life-affirming story about marriages, maternity, adoption and finding oneself. Norbury's Place is rich, sensuous and lively: "Her next volume - as yet unpublished - is about circuses and affiliation. In her second volume, Simals Die Fremde, she presents an excellent compilation of 16 articles that summarize man and beast in a storytelling style that is playfully, emotionally and deep.
The reader of this volume and its first, Let Me Clear My Throat (2013), will not be surprising that Passarello has received the Whiting Award for Nonfiction, a literature award given to up-and-coming authors with great promises. "In a typically good mood, Passarello said to me that she introduced "the feeling of insecurity, amazement and often the falseness of a layman" into the practical application of natural-printing.
" She is fascinated by the essence of mankind' s thinking and possessions, be it a hymn, a talk or a sala-man. "That is why I am describing the socio-political practice of bird watchers, just as I am the bird they are looking for. "What does she say now? The Outrun - the 2016 Wainwright Prize for Best Natural, Travelling and Exterior Fonts - is rough and pretty, a hurtful rehabilitation note.
Her texts describe how to swim in the icy waters, track down partridges and polar tern and observe the starry sky: "The best describing authors have narrow, repetitive observation of a particular place; Liptrot observes tide, wind, clouds, wild animals, and more.

The other week I was in Paris for a conference on interoperability. It was the working group of the IIIF, the brainchild of a consortium of libraries including the British Library, Bibliotheque Nationale, National Library of Norway, Los Alamos and Stanford.
The efforts being made in this area are immense, and, since I've been involved in this field, something of a holy grail. As research slowly becomes digital, the concept of information being locked in discreet digital silos becomes more and more absurd. Ingest of just metadata into a vast database (Europeana) or strict adherence to standards before ingest of metadata and image into another vast database (Biodiversity Heritage Library) do surely not, in the end, point the way forward.
And yet, what to do? Decisions over digitisation and metadata standards that were taken decades ago affect us now and prevent effective cross-collection search and collaboration.
IIIF is designed to address that problem by developing metadata and image APIs as well as a comprehensive image markup model called Shared Canvas.
It was fascinating to be involved in the emergence of something so potentially game-changing. The unsung heroes of interoperability will be those who sweat the details over the schema and the API. My job is then to build software that exploits this liberating commonality and frees the repositories up for researchers. They make me look good.
So thank you to Tom Cramer for inviting me and I look forward to seeing how this pans out.


Series: Hercule Poirot Book 17
Genre: Mystery & Thriller
Length: 352 pages
Audiobook Length: 7 hours and 59 minutes
First Published: 1937
Beloved detective Hercule Poirot embarks on a journey to Egypt in one of Agatha Christie’s most famous mysteries, Death on the Nile.
The tranquility of a cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life.
Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems.
Quotes from Death on the Nile
That is why most great love stories are tragedies
A man doesn’t want to feel that a woman cares more for him than he cares for her. He doesn’t want to feel owned, body and soul. It’s that damned possessive attitude.
They conceive a certain theory, and everything has to fit into that theory. If one little fact will not fit it, they throw it aside. But it is always the facts that will not fit in that are significant.
Women, however charming, have this disadvantage: they distract the mind from food!

Winner honored in first-ever library photo contest
Eighteen-year-old Jourdan Rus took home the grand prize for the first-ever Bloomfield Township Public Library photo contest with her submission titled “Bibliophile.”
Posted May 15, 2017
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — The entries are in, the winners have been selected, and the images are certainly impressive.
The first-ever Bloomfield Township Public Library photo contest wrapped up April 1, and according to Assistant Library Director Tera Moon, the participation was better than expected for the inaugural competition.
“Forty-three people submitted 77 photos, and we had entries from ages across the board,” said Moon. “We didn’t ask for ages; we just had three categories: youth, teen and adult. But I know there were some kids who were, like, 8 who submitted photos, and one man who submitted was probably in his 90s.”
A common theme, Moon noticed, was that as much as people love their library and reading good stories, they also fancy animals.
“People like to take pictures of their kids reading to their pets,” she said with a laugh. “We even got a photo of a squirrel reading a Dr. Seuss book.”
Three judges — local photographer Laurie Tennent, marketing expert Dave Buffington, and amateur photographer and library volunteer Nancy Kulish — selected winners from the lot.
Taking first place in the youth category was Josette Nelson with her image titled “So many pretty books,” followed by Pia Zammit in second place with “Squirrel friends like reading, too,” and Sarra Brinjikji in third with “Devouring Harry Potter.”
Eighteen-year-old Jourdan Rus, a Bloomfield Hills High School grad and Wayne State University student, took first place in the teen category with “Les Mis,” followed up by Georgia Zimmerman in second with “Camarilla in the rain,” and Kosta Sergakis in third with “Reading on a sunny day.”
Rus also took the honor of Best in Show with another one of her photos, which earned her the grand prize of a high-definition camera.
“In the past, I’ve had success in other art competitions, so I’m always on the lookout for anything new that I can enter in. I think it’s great to put your work out there, even if you might not win,” said Rus, who’s studying business management and photography at WSU. “After brainstorming a bit, I decided I wanted to show that reading can also be a creative expression. I personally love reading many different kinds of genres, so for my piece ‘Bibliophile’ I included a lot of my favorite books that are each very different from each other.”
First place in the adult category went to Sally Matak for “The simple beauty of books,” followed by Jessie Gable in second with “Her two favorite things,” and Elizabeth Ford in third with “Clayton zoned in.”
All of the winning photos are available to see on the BTPL Facebook page, and the top entries will be used for promotional materials.
“Since the theme was the joy of reading and libraries, we’ll use these in pieces to promote the library. So anytime we need a photo of a cute kid reading or someone using the library, we’ll grab these,” Moon explained. “We had a theme and people captured just that, in our library, outdoors and in their homes.”

Scientific inquiry and thinking


"Groundbreaking." — Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy
From one of the world's leading experts on unconscious racial bias, a personal examination of one of the central controversies and culturally powerful issues of our time, and its influence on contemporary race relations and criminal justice.
You don't have to be racist to be biased. Unconscious bias can be at work without our realizing it, and even when we genuinely wish to treat all people equally, ingrained stereotypes can infect our visual perception, attention, memory, and behavior. This has an impact on education, employment, housing, and criminal justice. In Biased, with a perspective that is at once scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, Jennifer Eberhardt offers us insights into the dilemma and a path forward.
Eberhardt works extensively as a consultant to law enforcement and as a psychologist at the forefront of this new field. Her research takes place in courtrooms and boardrooms, in prisons, on the street, and in classrooms and coffee shops. She shows us the subtle--and sometimes dramatic--daily repercussions of implicit bias in how teachers grade students, or managers deal with customers. It has an enormous impact on the conduct of criminal justice, from the rapid decisions police officers have to make to sentencing practices in court. Eberhardt's work and her book are both influenced by her own life, and the personal stories she shares emphasize the need for change. She has helped companies that include Airbnb and Nextdoor address bias in their business practices and has led anti-bias initiatives for police departments across the country. Here, she offers practical suggestions for reform and new practices that are useful for organizations as well as individuals.
Unblinking about the tragic consequences of prejudice, Eberhardt addresses how racial bias is not the fault of nor restricted to a few "bad apples" but is present at all levels of society in media, education, and business. The good news is that we are not hopelessly doomed by our innate prejudices. In Biased, Eberhardt reminds us that racial bias is a human problem--one all people can play a role in solving.
"Jennifer Eberhardt’s work is essential to helping us understand racial inequalities in our country and around the world." — Michelle Alexander, author of New York Times bestseller The New Jim Crow
"This book helps us to scientifically view how racial bias works in our own minds and throughout society. We could not ask for a better guide to understand this reality than Jennifer Eberhardt. Her research reveals critical information that can help leaders better understand how biases can impact our judgment and how we are perceived by the communities we are sworn to serve." — Kamala D. Harris, United States Senator from California
"Jennifer is one of the great thinkers and one of the great voices of our time…I believe her book will change the conversation on race in our society–and perhaps our society itself." — Carol Dweck, author of New York Times bestseller Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
"Drawing on her pioneering research, Jennifer Eberhardt’s new book offers a powerful exploration of how racial bias seeps into our classrooms, college campuses, police departments, and businesses." — Bruce Western, author of Punishment and Inequality in America and Professor of Sociology, Columbia University
"Biased is deeply relevant to education and other fields of work, within the U.S. and globally. Dr. Eberhardt’s work offers a touchstone for educators, leaders, lawmakers, and all those who want a society that serves everyone equally." — Linda Darling-Hammond, author of The Flat World and Education: How America’s Commitment to Equity will Determine our Future
"This is not someone who is just doing work in the ivory tower of a university. This is someone who is really out in the trenches working with police departments and the criminal justice system." — Chris Magnus, Chief of Police, Tucson, Arizona
"She is saying things that make people uncomfortable, but she has the evidence to back up the reality of what’s she’s describing…[her work is]…original, provocative, and rigorous. I think she has changed the way we all think about the American dilemma of race."—Susan Fiske, Psychologist, Princeton University
Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt is a professor of psychology at Stanford and a recipient of a 2014 MacArthur "genius" grant. She has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was named one of Foreign Policy's 100 Leading Global Thinkers. She is co-founder and co-director of SPARQ, a Stanford Center that brings together researchers and practitioners to address significant social problems.

1. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I just loved this book as a kid. It has everything a good children’s book needs—adventure, fantasy, whimsy, and a good life lesson or two. The book follows Milo, a little boy who gets bored and drives his toy car through a magic tollbooth, on an epic adventure through the Kingdom of Wisdom. The Phantom Tollbooth is witty, heartfelt, and playful. And for all the English nerds out there, this book has all kinds of good wordplay. Enjoy.
2. The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg is a story about friendship, bravery, and finding your tribe. I just love Konigsburg’s writing style—which may just be why she shows up multiple times on this list!
3. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. The simplest (and best) way to describe this books is to say that its about friendship—real, genuine, no-matter-what friendship. The friendship that blossoms between the most unlikely pair, a pig and a spider, has something powerful to teach us about what can happen when we take care of one another and realize that we all need to be rescued sometimes.
4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling is just gold. I won’t gush about Harry Potter (too much), but every kid should read the Harry Potter series…and every adult for that matter. This is the kind of book that can make a kid fall in love with reading. It is about magic, yes. But it is also about good versus evil, growing up, figuring out what you believe in, friendship, and standing up for what is right and good and true. I honestly can’t wait to read these books to my kids.
5. Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar is a hilarious book about a school that was built 30 stories high and the wacky things that happens there. My second grade teacher used to read us a chapter from this book at the end of each day, and we loved it. This is the book for the kid who doesn’t like to read, and I can guarantee that it will have him rolling on the floor laughing. Sachar just gets kids, and this book totally reflects that. Bonus: there are also two other books in the series that are just as wonderful.
6. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle is a science fiction novel that follows a little girl named Meg’s journey through the fifth dimension to rescue her father. There are a lot of difficult concepts in this book, but the writing is beautiful and honest and authentic. It also teaches us that there’s nothing wrong with being the girl who is super smart and a little weird…in fact, it’s pretty awesome.
7. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis might just be one of my favorite books of all time. C.S. Lewis possesses the rare ability to communicate effectively with both children and adults and to tell a story so vivid and tangible that it captures your heart and imagination and won’t let go. The world that Lewis creates in the Narnia series is a captivating and beautiful portrait of who God is and his role in our lives. This is another series that I’m super excited to read with my own kids one day.
8. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has so much to teach kids about empathy, patience, and being a voice for justice. It’s also the kind of book you can read over and over again—and you should.
9. From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg tells the story of two kids who run away from home to go live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I mean, what kid hasn’t fantasized about running free in a museum at night? I love how the author combines the main character’s thirst for adventure, mystery, and quest for identity with a fascination for art and history. This is definitely my favorite Konigsburg book.
What would you add to the list?

And I thought things could get better for both of them and that the “tragedy”-whatever it was- wouldn’t be that bad. During the trip, they discover an abandoned and possibly haunted plantation house and Nathan and Roy are discovered in a compromising situation. It seemed as if that elaborately, subtly constructed castle of prose and all the thoughts and feelings it provoked — all my sorrow and horror and hope and enchantment — were only sand after all, a con, and the whole thing abruptly sifted away through my fingers.
Nathan is accepted into Roy’s social circle and is invited to go on a camping trip with Roy and his friends Randy and Burke. But the blunt nature of this book left me wanting more.
That the Father would be arrested and thrown in jail or perhaps have a millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea just as Jesus suggested for those who abuse children Mark 9: Grimsley manages to create an aura of wonderment, joy even, in the boys’ sexual discovery while at the same time running an undercurrent of dread through the entire slim volume, foreshadowing the book’s heartwrenching climax.
Is he really dead? Beauty and despair as poles of human existence – a novel about young adults, but not for all of them.
Aug 31, Ije the Devourer of Books rated jjm liked it. The book’s power derives not merely from the fairly simple, straightforward story, but from the writing itself which is positively transcendent. So, yeah, when they began being sweet to each other, my hate turned to love instantly and my regret turned to craving to finish the book, to me the writing-style that I scorned before no longer seemed terrible.
First I couldn’t understand what it was. But what remains then? That seemed a good reason to read it. Once again, thank you, Sofia, for holding my hand and goi It was a page turner! Grimsley writes with soul of a poet that when he describes the attraction between the two boys, it is so palpable, I can feel it seeps through the pages and fill the empty grimaley around me.
Nathan comes from a troubled home. This book was NOT okay.

I know not everyone agrees with my thoughts on it, and it is meant to be ambiguous so there is no real right and wrong on what your personal take is. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Though the sex never feels prurient, the novel is unrelentingly sexual. But with its topic can be called, disturbing any way you look at it. I, too, read Dream Boy in one sitting and, upon finishing, felt bereft, devastated for days afterward.
Save this one for later if you’re searching for a happy ending – while it has nothing in common with sunshine or prancing unicorns, I promise that vrimsley make you think. It starts out as more of a romance – and you do have to dig a little for stuff to like about Roy.
I am perturbed grmsley the character who “died” was somehow “alive” and that they ran away.
Then in the change of mood ensued when they were inside the mansion, romance to horror to tragedy. Through the eyes of a professional who works with children and is trained to be alert to abusers and to the abused whether children or adults.
Roy’s long strides set an easy pace and his silence engulfs Nathan so that both move with attention to quiet. And Nathan whether alive or dead also managed to escape and move to freedom. What’s the point of it? Other Book Industry Professional. Sep 01, Nancy rated it really liked it.
I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to read it on my own. For collections desirous of a “problem” coming-of-age story with a gay theme, this might be a good bet. A dream within a dream? Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. There’s a difference between an author deciding to leave aspects of his work ambiguous and failing to explore certain characters, motifs, etc. I am sorry for my English; I am not a native speaker. On the surface this book may appear to be about a relationship between two boys, but it has a dark undercurrent and themes that can capture one’s mind long after reading.


A new term's booked space in the dictionary of Indo-Anglian fiction: the graphic novel—i.e. a novel-length comic book that aims to be "serious literature". Sarnath Banerjee's Corridor, currently making waves in literary circles, is the first example of a mainstream publishing house testing the waters for the medium in India and thus joining the $100-million global market.
The term graphic novel was coined by Will Eisner, a writer trying to persuade his publisher that his book (1978 classic, A Contract With God), was no ordinary comic book. But graphic novels were thrust into the literary limelight only in 1992, when Art Spiegelman's Maus, an Animal Farm-like take on the Holocaust, won the Pulitzer. Since then, biographies, literary novels on every possible theme, academic texts, historical fiction and non-fiction—from the Bible to The Hobbit—have embraced the format.
And graphic novels are the fastest growing phenomenon in global publishing. They are reviewed in the New York Times and The Guardian. Joe Sacco's journalistic graphic novel Palestine featured an introduction by philosopher Edward Said. With recent large-budget films like Road to Perdition, From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, graphic novels have even reached mainstream mecca—Hollywood.
Serious, lengthy comic books have been made by Indians before, notably Orijit Sen's 'comix' about the Narmada movement, the River of Stories (1994). But Banerjee's work highlights the growing relevance of comic books as a legit literary medium, moving beyond its traditional roles—humour, action, fantasy.
Corridor's plot sounds like a standard Indo-Anglian novel, centering around a second-hand bookstore in old Delhi where a variety of eccentric souls converge in search of anything from Keats to aphrodisiacs. Banerjee is currently working on another such novel, which examines the eccentricities of 19th century Calcutta, with its zebra-drawn carriages and hemp smoking clubs. "I'm fighting a very rigid literary hierarchy in India," he says, "maybe open-minded readers will buy it."
According to Sen, "the urban subcultures that create a market for graphic novels aren't as developed in India as they are abroad, which could be a serious problem". So why publish a graphic novel in India? V.K. Karthika, Banerjee's editor, feels the logic is very simple,"The graphic novel has done well all over the world, so there should be enough readers in India if the book is good—also, in an increasingly visual world, this is a very relevant medium." However, the response to Corridor will be a big factor in deciding whether or not to do more in this genre. For Indian graphic novels to take off, says Banerjee, "what's important is that talented and interested designers and artists are drawn away from animation sweatshops and trained in comic creation—we have no shortage of writers."
But while intellectuals debate over the multiplicity of perspectives of text and image, the philosophical significance of gutter space (the space between two comic panels) and the haiku-like imagery of dripping blood in Japanese graphic novels, India's comics scene is thriving at the ground level. Over the last three decades, Diamond Comics, Raj Comics, Tinkle and Amar Chitra Katha have established vast distribution networks countrywide and are read by lakhs of children in a wide range of languages. But with the exception of Amar Chitra Katha, these are, according to Sen, "of the lowest order in both form and content." The storylines are mostly hackneyed and derivative, and the English translations usually atrocious. Here's a quote from Raj Comics' website, for example, describing their Amazonian superheroine Shakti—"Wonder woman and joker are her villains. The only tell tale sign of this phenomenon is the eye mark on ordinary chanda's fore ford which she keeps well covered with a hear band pretending permanent migraine."
Now Gotham Comics, a US-based company with offices in India, is looking to change the picture completely. It's distributing comics made by international comics powerhouses like Marvel, DC and Cartoon Network all over Asia—which gives them access to over 10,000 well-known characters. And with a monthly reader tally in India of two lakh already, the company seems to have cashed in effectively on the high recognition factor of American comic characters from Spiderman to Scooby-doo.
Gotham has also realised the value of local content—it's set up Indian workshops to develop comics set in India, based on Indian themes, and is even planning a historical/mythological series to take on the ever-popular Amar Chitra Katha.
The direct inspiration to develop a distinctly Indian style may be the success of manga, or Japanese comic art, which is not only read by nearly every Japanese citizen, but also rivals traditional American comics in markets worldwide. With distinctive artwork based on centuries-old traditions and a cinematic narrative structure currently in global focus thanks to films like Kill Bill, manga (capricious pictures), especially shojo manga aimed specifically at girls, is the biggest growth area in international publishing. Could there be a big market for an Indian equivalent?
"Certainly not in the present circumstances," says Dheeraj Verma, an artist who has worked with Raj Comics for 10 years and aims to work for Marvel. "Indian artists are underpaid and hence disinterested. There are talented artists, but without proper training and royalties, they're going nowhere." Asked to name their favourite comic hero of Indian origin, both Verma and Banerjee picked Indrajal Comics' Bahadur, the orange kurta-clad action hero with Neetu Singh-lookalike girlfriend Bela. But, feels Banerjee, there's no genuine indigenous comic book tradition in India outside West Bengal and Kerala, where local comics have distinctive and original artwork.
Sharad Devarajan, CEO of Gotham (a dream job description for any Batman fan, surely), believes India is about to enter a golden age of comics. The original golden age was when the medium exploded into mainstream popularity in the US, from the late '30s to the '50s, beginning with the release of DC Comics' Action Comics No 1 (1938), in which Superman made his debut, and Marvel Comics No 1 (1939).
For Devarajan, graphic novels mean longer standalone superhero stories like Frank Miller's classic take on Batman, The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman is a middle-aged, angst-ridden ex-hero, and Alan Moore's Watchmen, an epic analysis of a superhero team as a collection of real people, not just one-dimensional muscle-bound vigilantes with unorthodox views on lingerie. Gotham plans to distribute graphic novels as serialised special monthly editions.
Golden age or not, with the arrival of the graphic novel, comics in India have finally straddled the entire spectrum. The next step would therefore have to be international recognition—the growing importance of Indian communities in major markets could soon lead to comics aimed at Indians abroad (and the creation of Indian superheroes, like black, Latino and gay ones who find large numbers of readers). And after that breakthrough comes, growth should be faster than a speeding bullet.

There is a gap in time from the class of 1942 to the class of 1948, in which trophies were not awarded. Despite the repetitive successes of the women on the team, the amount of competitions for the team was limited due to the need to reserve gas, rubber, and metal for war efforts. Though Beaver College saw a rise in student participation in extracurriculars pertaining to the war efforts, such as joining the Red Cross organization, the students’ involvement with athletics held strong.

[ACCOUNT OF THE OTTOMAN-VENETIAN NAVAL WAR] Tuhfetu'l-kibâr fî esfâri'l-bihâr. [i.e. The gift to the great ones on naval campaigns]
KATIP ÇELEBI [HACI KHALFA], (1609-1657)., Matbaa-i Bahriye [i.e. The Printing House of the Naval Forces]., Istanbul, [AH 1329] = 1913.
Full leather new bdg. Original illustrated cover saved inside. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). , 166,  p., b/w and color plates of Ottoman warships and scenes from naval wars, seven maps of the earliest examples of Ottoman cartography.
Very rare second edition of this book on the history of Ottoman naval wars against Venetians began with the Crete campaign (War of Candia) in 1645 and lasted for years until 1656. The book was published first in 1729 in Müteferrika Printing House which was the first printing house in the Islamic world as the third printed book. This is the second edition including five maps of almost the same size (two paged) titled world map, The Mediterranean, The Archipelago (Aegean), The Adriatic Sea, and the compass-like in its first edition as well as two maps and twenty-six plates (some of them are color) and small illustrations of Ottoman ships as head of some carriage returns. Additional maps depict the city of Venice (from Kitab-i Bahriye [i.e. Book of Navigation) and the travels of Ottoman Admiral Sidi Ali Reis through the Sea of Oman.
The Cretan War or the Fifth Ottoman-Venetian War, was a conflict between the Republic of Venice and her allies (chief among them the Knights of Malta, the Papal States, and France) against the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary States because it was largely fought over the island of Crete, Venice's largest and richest overseas possession.
This account of Ottoman maritime warfare in Turkish, written in Safer 1067/November 1656. This date places the book in a moment of utmost danger for the Ottoman capital following the defeat of the Ottoman navy at the hands of the Venetians at the Dardanelles (4 Ramadan 1066/26 June 1656) and the subsequent loss of the islands of Lemnos and Tenedos. It is also written shortly after the appointment of Köprülü Mehmed Pasha as grand vizier (25 Dhulqada 1066/14 September 1656). Thus it is suggested to read it as a program of reform of the navy intended for a person whom Hadji Khalfa might have seen as the "man of the sword" who might revert the fate of the Empire. Of the four ulemâ [i.e. scholars] who wrote endorsements for the book, two are closely related to the Köprülü family.
The first part is a history of Ottoman maritime campaigns from the beginning to 1067/1656, while the second is a systematic description of naval affairs, from administration and offices to shipbuilding, culminating in a list of 40 suggestions for the organization and strategy of the Ottoman navy, including the use of recent scientific and technological innovations. Thus the juxtaposition with history provides an argument for reform. Suggestions are largely centered around the traditional qanun-i qadim; there is no reference to high-board ships. The final pages include an important discussion of historical causality, explaining how divine omnipotence creates the consequence of historical causes, in reward for the righteous rule, or punishment of injustice.

The legend of zelda timeline
The Legend Of Zelda Timeline Legende der Götter & Der Held der Zeit
The Legend of Zelda erzählt die Geschichte des Triforce, das die manifestierte Kraft von drei Göttinnen ist. Sie haben die Welt Hyrule und alles. Zelda mag für viele mit ihren unzähligen Titeln und Geschichten verwirrend sein, daher haben wir uns die Timeline der Serie mal genau. Ein großes Streitthema unter Zelda-Fans ist und bleibt die offizielle Zelda-Timeline – eine offiziell von Nintendo festgelegte Reihenfolge.

November. The Legend of Zelda erzählt die Geschichte des Triforce, das die manifestierte Kraft von drei Göttinnen ist. Sie haben die Welt Hyrule und alles.
Yet, on the th anniversary of the emergence of the Bound Chest and the Light Force, a sword contest was held where the mysterious man known as Vaati emerged victorious.
During the ceremony, he shattered the seal on the Bound Chest with a Picori Blade, releasing all of the evil back into the world and turning Princess Zelda into stone.
Her father, King Daltus, urged the young hero Link to seek out a sacred blade that was a combination of four separate blades and bestowed whoever carried it with the ability to split into four different heroes.
During this time, Vaati used his magic to trick King Daltus into enveloping Hyrule in a shroud of darkness, forever dooming it unless Vaati was stopped.
Link confronted and defeated Vaati, where it was revealed that he was, in fact, a Minish. Vaati was then confronted by his former master and fellow Minish Ezlo, who had been transformed into a hat that can grant the wearer any wish they desire.
Since Vaati was slain, Link used his Four Swords to free Zelda from her imprisonment and then allowed her to use Ezlo to wish away all of the evil within Vaati.
This, along with the Light Force, restored balance to the lands of Hyrule as the monsters were vanquished and sealed away once more.
However, Vaati was actually not dead, and the sorcerer returned to the lands of Hyrule once more. Instead, Vaati established himself in a large temple which he dubbed the Palace of Wind, giving himself the new moniker of The Great Sorcerer of the Wind, Vaati.
During his reign of terror, the mage would ransack villages, kidnap beautiful girls, and slay those who came to rescue the imprisoned citizens.
According to a story that is largely believed to be myth, just when all hope seemed lost, a young boy set off into the woods and returned days later with the girls.
Regardless of what really happened, Vaati was now imprisoned within the Four Swords itself, acting as a pseudo prison for the all-powerful wind mage.
Summoning Link, the two investigated just as Vaati broke out from the magical seal. Seeing Zelda, Vaati whisked her away to make the woman his bride in order to commemorate his return and celebrate his power.
Link, of course, chased after the mage. With the Four Swords in hand, Link learned that the only way to get into the Palace of Wind was to prove himself courageous enough for the Great Fairies.
After many dungeons and beasts felled, Link finally launched an attack on Vaati and his temple. Link then fought Vaati and once more sealed the wind sorcerer inside of the Four Swords, saving both Hyrule and Princess Zelda.
At the peak of the war, a young Hylian woman fled into the woods with her infant boy in search of the Great Deku Tree.
Leaving him there, her young son named Link was raised by the Kokiri, a race of children that never age into adulthood and thus live away from the rest of society.
Eventually the war ended, and once Link was a young boy, he suffered from a terrible nightmare that foresaw an evil force stalking Princess Zelda.
She then explained that in order to stop him, Link would need to obtain the other two Spiritual Stones as they were keys for the Temple of Time, which currently housed the legendary Master Sword.
However, when returning to Hyrule Castle, Link witnessed Zelda fleeing for her life. Ganondorf chased after her, looking to secure her piece of the Triforce.
Returning to the temple, Link seized the Master Sword and was thrown seven years into the future, where Ganondorf had become the supreme ruler.
We should also note that it is believed the Great Cataclysm occurred somewhere during this time, a moment where Ganon broke into the Sacred Realm, touched the Triforce, and caused it to break apart again, him acquiring the Triforce of Power.
After a long journey, Link would eventually save every single sage, only to learn that Shiek was in fact the seventh sage. The slender man then revealed that he was none other than Princess Zelda in disguise, and with these powerful beings supporting Link, he fought his way towards Ganondorf at the very top of Hyrule Castle.
These three timelines have since never intersected with one another, and the events of each one are radically different. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time marks the last moment when this series had a single narrative.
Sadly, in this The Legend of Zelda timeline Link failed in his task to stop Ganondorf and had his portion of the Triforce the Triforce of Courage stolen from him.
Yet, his efforts were stopped, as he was sealed away in the Sacred Realm by the seven sages. For many years Hyrule then enjoyed peace, until a series of unknown, violent occurrences began to crop up throughout the land.
Fearing for his people, the King of Hyrule offered a reward to any traveler willing to stop the source of these events.
The wizard stopped the chaotic events, was praised by the king for his efforts, and was deemed the chief adviser to the ruler of Hyrule.
Link was then awoken to find his uncle sneaking out of the house with a sword and shield, wherein he followed to a mysterious dungeon only to find his relative dying.
In his last moments, Link was gifted with his weapons and informed that he is actually a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule.
He was then told by the priest that in order to stop the powerful wizard, he would need to acquire the Master Sword and three Pendants from different temples.
Upon obtaining these items, Link discovered that in his absence, Agahnim discovered Zelda and banished her to the Dark World. The duo then fought, and once Agahnim was defeated.
He used the last of his magic to send our hero into this twisted realm, as well, and Link only survived thanks to a mysterious item he was given earlier dubbed the Magic Mirror.
The two had one last battle in which Ganon was slain, and the Triforce was safe once more, allowing Hyrule another era of peace.
After the events of the Great Cataclysm , the Triforce was split into three separate parts. Eventually, an evil wizard named Yuga are you seeing a pattern here?
However, he was eventually stopped by Link and Zelda, which caused the once shattered Triforce to become whole once more.
Thanks to this all-powerful item, the lands of Hyrule entered a golden age of prosperity where kings ruled over the land with compassion.
Yet, as time passed, the last of these mighty kings sought out a worthy successor that would not allow Hyrule to plunge into total chaos.
Sadly, this was not possible. That was until a wizard okay people need to stop trusting wizards came to the prince and explained that the last piece was actually with his younger sister Zelda.
Realizing the error in his ways, the prince sealed Zelda away and declared that all daughters were to be named Zelda in order to protect her location and true identity.
Ganon was able to secure the Triforce of Power, but to preserve the Triforce of Wisdom, the current Princess Zelda split the object into seven parts.
Her guardian Impa then fled the castle in order to search for someone with enough courage to lay the Demon King to waste.
His quest was eventually complete and the hero confronted Ganon in Death Mountain, where the Demon King was destroyed once again.
This allowed Link to obtain the Triforce of Power and jumpstarted his journey to find the Triforce of Courage, which was still hidden away.
Meanwhile Ganon, despite being killed, still had some sway over the land via his minions, who were currently seeking Link out in order to kill him and use his blood to resurrect Ganon.
Impa then offered Link six crystals and a scroll that revealed the location of the Triforce of Courage, however, in order to obtain this he would need to kill the Guardian Deities.
After all six were vanquished, the magical barrier around the Great Palace fell, allowing Link to obtain the final piece of the Triforce.
In this timeline, the evil prince Ganon was defeated, however, Link did not remain in his adult form. After his victory in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link warned both Zelda and her father about a disastrous future that would take place if the duo did nothing to kill Ganondorf.
However, he was not destined to stay. His fairy companion Navi took off after his victory, spurring the young hero on an adventure to find her.
The only item he carried outside of his horse Epona and basic gear was the Ocarina of Time, which was gifted to him by Zelda as a memento.

Unknowable Truths: The Incompleteness Theorems and Modernism
Sciences and Mathematics, College of
Math and Computer Science, Department of
BURS Faculty Advisor
This article evaluates the function of the current history of mathematics methodologies and explores ways in which historiographical methodologies could be successfully implemented in the field. Traditional approaches to the history of mathematics often lack either an accurate portrayal of the social and cultural influences of the time, or they lack an effective usage of mathematics discussed. This paper applies a holistic methodology in a case study of Kurt Gödel’s influential work in logic during the Interwar period and the parallel rise of intellectual modernism. In doing so, the proofs for Gödel’s Completeness and Incompleteness theorems will be discussed as well as Gödel’s philosophical interests and influences of the time. To explore the intersection of these worlds, practices are borrowed from the fields of intellectual history and history of science and technology to analyze better the effects of society and culture on the mind of mathematicians like Gödel and their work.

Nguyễn Du (阮攸, 1765 – 1820, pennames Tố Như and Thanh Hiên) is a celebrated Vietnamese poet who wrote in Chữ Nôm, the ancient writing script of Việt Nam. His poetry is celebrated for the directness of its language and the intricacy of its metaphors, in which each image and metaphor opens onto layers upon layers of hidden meaning. Although a number of Vietnamese poets pre-dated him — Ho Xuan Huong perhaps most notably among them — Nguyen Du is considered by many Vietnamese to the be founding-figure of Vietnamese literature. His epic poem Truyen Kieu (The Tale of Kieu), relating the brief and tragic life of a Vietnamese girl, is regarded with the same reverence in Vietnamese culture as that accorded to Homer by the Greeks and Shakespeare in the English-speaking world. His work demonstrates some of the flaws in the Confucian moral order
Nguyễn Du was born in 1765 in Tiên Điền village, Nghi Xuân district, Nghệ Tĩnh province, Vietnam. He was the seventh child of Nguyễn Nghiễm, a former prime minister under the Lê Dynasty. By the age of 13, Nguyen had lost both of his parents, and for most of his teenage years he lived with his brother Nguyễn Khản or with his brother-in-law Đoàn Nguyễn Tuấn.
At the age of 19, Nguyen passed the provincial examination, receiving the title of "tú tài," which made him the equivalent of a secondary-education graduate. In Nguyen Du's time this sort of credential was difficult to obtain, as very few Vietnamese people were affluent enough to devote themselves to study.
Nguyen’s mother was his father’s third wife; she was noted for her ability at singing and composing poetry. In fact, she made her living by singing, which at that time was considered a disreputable occupation. It is said that Nguyen may have inherited a part of his talents from his mother. He loved listening to traditional songs; and there was a rumor that, when he was 18, he himself eloped with a songstress.
After passing the provincial exam, he was appointed to the position of a military advisor in the Trinh army. After the Trinh Lords were defeated in 1786 by Nguyen Hue, Nguyen Du refused to serve in the new administration. He was arrested and held for some time before he moved back to his native village in the northern part of the country.
Later, when yet another warlord, Nguyen Anh, seized control over all of Vietnam in 1802, Nguyen Du agreed to serve in his administration. At first he was given his old post of military advisor but after a decade he was promoted to ambassador to China in 1813. While in China, he discovered and translated the Ming dynasty era tale "Kim Van Kieu" that would become the basis for the Tale of Kieu. He was later appointed to two more diplomatic missions to Beijing, but before he could depart for the last one, he died of a long illness for which he refused treatment.
Nguyen's father had been a minister under the Lê dynasty, and his family had benefited greatly under their rule, following the Confucian virtue of utmost loyalty to one's king. For most of his life, Nguyen Du was haunted by his own betrayal of the rightful rulers of Vietnam, which he felt brought shame on himself and his family, as he willfully served under what he perceived to be an usurper's dynasty.
The Tale of Kieu
The Tale of Kiều is an epic poem considered to be not only Nguyễn Du's masterpiece but one of the crowning works of Vietnamese literature. The original title in Vietnamese is Đoạn Trường Tân Thanh (斷腸新聲, literally "A New Cry From a Broken Heart"), but it is better known as Truyện Kiều (傳翹, literally "Kiều's Story").
In 3,254 verses, written in lục bát meter — a strict form consisting of alternating lines of six characters followed by eight characters — the poem recounts the life, trials and tribulations of Thúy Kiều, a beautiful and talented young woman who is forced to sacrifice herself to save her family.
Nguyễn Du made use of the plot of Kim Vân Kiều (金雲翹), a story written in classical Chinese, setting it against the backdrop of the deteriorating state of Vietnam at the end of the eighteenth century. The ruling Lê Dynasty was at that time controlled by the Trịnh Lords in the north and the Nguyen Lords in the south. While the Trịnh and the Nguyễn were fighting against each other, the Tây Sơn rebels overthrew—first the Nguyen and then the Trinh—over the span of a decade. Nguyễn Du was loyal to the Lê Dynasty and hoped for the return of the Lê king. In 1802 the Nguyễn lord, Nguyễn Ánh, conquered all of Vietnam forming the new Nguyễn Dynasty. Nguyễn Ánh, wanted Nguyễn Du to join the new government and he did so, although with some reluctance. Thus, Nguyen Du's life is partially analogous to the doomed fate of the main character of The Tale of Kiều.
The Tale of Kieu was written under a pseudonym as it strongly suggested the old Confucian moral order was wrong, or at least, deeply flawed. There are numerous examples in the poem:
- the initial trouble encountered by Kieu is caused by the greed of a mandarin–but mandarins, being educated Confucian scholars, were supposed to be morally upstanding individuals.
- The rebel Tu Hai is portrayed in a very favorable light–a margin note in a copy owned by the Nguyen King Tu Duc says the author would have deserved a good thrashing.
- Kieu falls in love with men not chosen for her by her parents. Romantic love was regarded with deep suspicion by Confucian scholars.
- Kieu falls in love with two different men, but a woman was supposed to be faithful to one man her entire life.
The work had been fully translated into English at least three times, one with extensive footnotes by Huỳnh Sanh Thông, one for the general reader by Vladislav Zhukov and one in verse by an English writer.
The original text was written in Vietnamese using the vernacular Chữ Nôm script. Below are the first six lines of the prologue written in the modern Vietnamese alphabet and translated into English. Most Vietnamese speakers know these lines by heart.
- Trăm năm, trong cõi người ta,
- Chữ tài, chữ mệnh, khéo là ghét nhau.
- Trải qua một cuộc bể dâu,
- Những điều trông thấy mà đau đớn lòng;
- Lạ gì bỉ sắc, tư phong,
- Trời xanh quen thói má hồng đánh ghen.
- Within the span of hundred years of human existence,
- what a bitter struggle is waged between genius and destiny!
- How many harrowing events have occurred while mulberries cover the conquered sea!
- Rich in beauty, unlucky in life!
- Strange indeed, but little wonder,
- since casting hatred upon rosy cheeks is a habit of the Blue Sky.
-Translation from Lê Xuân Thuy—Kim Vân Kiều
An alternate English translation of the same opening lines demonstrates the challenges of translating poetry.
- As evidenced by centuries of human existence
- Destiny and genius are apt to feud
- Having endured an upheaval
- The sights observed must wrench one’s heart
- ‘Tis no surprise to find the bad and good in pairs
- So a maiden blessed by beauty is likewise cursed by envy.
- Bắc Hành Tạp Lục (Travels to the North)
- Điêu la thành ca giả
- Long thành cầm giả ca
- Mộng đắc thái liên
- Nam Trung Tạp Ngâm (Various Poems)
- Ngẫu hứng V
- Ngô gia Đệ cựu ca cơ
- Thác lời trai phường nón
- Thanh Hiên thi tập (Poems of Thanh Hiên)

Dr. Elaine Weintraub is a storyteller and historian who specialized in African American history. She is also an author and co-founder of the Martha’s Vineyard African American Heritage Trail. She talks to us about the Black Lives Matter Protests seen from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
As a historian, what are the commonalities you see between the current protests and the civil rights movement of the 1960s?
I see unfinished business. There were promises reneged on at the end of the Civil War and by the 1960s, racist oppression had been normalized and became the structure of society. In the south, that was upheld by violence and violation and abuse of the legal system; in the north, it was more low key in the sense that it was enforced through redlining inadequate schooling and absence from any structure of power.
While the emancipation proclamation abolished slavery in theory, there are also many loopholes and situations of injustice that continued since then. Could you elaborate on this?
The Civil War and the Emancipation proclamation abolished the name “slavery”, but the fact that Reconstruction only ever had strong adherents from Massachusetts and very small parts of the north meant that it was totally abandoned. Within a few years of the war, the south was allowed to institute the Black Codes. The Klan was formed, the vote denied and brutality became the norm toward people of color in the south where the largest populations of Black people were. It was legal to deny the vote to rape and murder with impunity with the protection of the law. The period after the Civil War to the 1960s was incredibly brutal toward African Americans.
Many countries in the world seem to be living an “insular moment” where “the fear of others” prevails along with the existence of societal tensions. Why this? And do you think that this moment is rather exceptional or are there chances that it lasts?
I suppose I think like a history teacher and I see true education as key. In my 25-year career, I never saw truly inclusive history being taught, and any references made to African American experience were generally more White History in that it was the white definition of the black experience. For example, is the history of enslavement truly not a history of how White people gained tremendous assets through the brutalizations of Black people? I hope this moment does stimulate thought. I know that it will make some white peoples very angry and if we are lucky, they may look into their hearts and minds and ask why is thus making me so angry? What do I fear? Why do I feel that my color defines what team I am in and that I must cheer for my team and demean black people’s legitimate struggles because that makes me a patriot?
Do you believe that structural change will come out of the current Black Lives Matter protests, both in the USA and globally speaking?
I do think so or at least I hope very strongly that this is a pivotal moment. Once you know something, you can’t go back and pretend you don’t know it. I was recently in Ireland where there is a long history of blowing up English monuments. I think there is an understanding that those monuments and statues are a statement of power. They are not history. They are weaponized against the oppressed who must walk by them every day feeling aware of that power and having no stake in what is celebrated and how it is celebrated. I think there will be kickback, but I also think that for many people, awareness has begun. We don’t have to identify with our so called heroes if they are oppressors. We can reach some consensus.
You have recently been awarded for your work surrounding the African American Heritage Trail of Martha’s Vineyard. Could you tell us more about your work in this specific field?
I began my work on African American history back in 1998. I am the co-founder of the African American Heritage Trail. I was inspired to begin that work because it was immediately apparent to me that African American students did not receive their history. Nor did they receive affirmation of who they were in the day to day life of the school. What I know is history and it seemed to me that creating the Trail with its strong links to education would involve all students Black and White in an understanding not only of the history of trauma but also of triumph. And all would learn from the equal weight given to that history. Over the years, it has developed 30 sites and 31 is coming up this August provided educational programs for colleges and schools from Massachusetts and other states and here in the Vineyard. We maintain high visibility for the Trail and have a very busy tour program each summer that financed most of our operation. We give scholarships sponsor competitions. Our mission is to uncover and record previously ignored history and ensure that it will not be lost or ignored again.
