The details are amazing, as with typical Len Deighton’s novels. What I like most is that the characters are not simply “black” or “white”, almost everybody is portrayed as “grey”. The story also involved many of their relatives, with quite some twists, intrigues and entanglements.Īll in all, it’s just dark but fascinating, involves all things about love, hate, horror, pain and suffer. With the background of Germany, in particular Berlin, in the first 50 years of the last century, the two central characters Paul and Peter Winter took a different route for their lives and yet they must once a while cross their paths, the last being the most tragic one. ![]() Winter is about seemingly complex conflicts around a family drama. Ariya.io About Talks Articles Winter, Bomber, Shogun, Tai-Pan ![]() ![]() “The concept alone was enough to see me part with the cover price, the fact that it’s as stunningly illustrated and printed as it is, well that’s just a bonus. These tough guys are rendered in simple lines and shapes and colored in black and white, red, blue, and yellow, but they represent a broad range of virility. This is the crying revolution, and it looks like the next generation might actually grow up knowing it’s OK to have a good cry when you need.” But Tough Guys (Have Feelings Too) wants to put an end to that right now. ![]() For both men and women, crying can be considered a sign of weakness or hysteria - forcing them to repress this very natural emotional response. ![]() This book may actually go a long way towards dismantling rigid gender roles. “It teaches little boys that they don’t have to feel like Superman all the time. ![]() “A simple, stylishly illustrated picture book This appealing book makes the timely decision to hold the conversation about male emotions while everyone involved is in costume, performing some iconically macho role.” ![]() Here’s what they’ve been saying (illustrations by our pal Louis Miller, a lil’ Tough Guy himself, age 5): The critics have been talking about Keith Negley’s Tough Guys Have Feelings Too and they love it! We’ve been so pleased to see so many positive reactions to this book, and we wanted to share a few of them with you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The essay explores the extent to which recent research affirms or rebuts that notion of German cultural exceptionalism which posits a Hellenophile Sonderweg – culminating in the tyranny of Germany over Greece imposed by force of arms under the Third Reich – when interpreting the vicissitudes of the Graeco–German relationship. ![]() This review essay surveys historiographical developments in the literature on German philhellenism which have emerged in the past dozen years (2004–16), drawing on research in German studies, classical philology and reception studies, Modern Greek studies, intellectual history, philosophy, art history, and archaeology. Studies of German philhellenism have often focused upon the idealization of Greece by German intellectuals, rather than considering the very real, at times reciprocal, at times ambivalent or even brutal, relationship which existed between contemporary Germans and the Greek state from the Greek War of Independence onwards. ![]() ![]() ![]() The person who is really the threat here is the home owner who has been so well socialized by the thinking of white supremacy, of capitalism, of patriarchy that he can no longer respond rationally. ![]() ![]() We live in a culture where without responding to any gesture of aggression or hostility on the part of the stranger, who is simply lost and trying to find the correct address, the white male shoots him, believing he is protecting his life and his property. For example, an adult white male answers the door when a young Asian male rings the bell. We can all tell endless stories of how it makes itself known in everyday life. ![]() When I have stayed with friends in these communities and inquired as to whether all the security is in response to an actual danger I am told “not really," that it is the fear of threat rather than a real threat that is the catalyst for an obsession with safety that borders on madness.Ĭulturally we bear witness to this madness every day. Americans spend more than thirty billion dollars a year on security. With guards at the gate, individuals still have bars and elaborate internal security systems. “The growing number of gated communities in our nation is but one example of the obsession with safety. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps the most brilliant thing about the books is that, even though they are based on Arab culture, they can be enjoyed by anyone. ![]() The two travel to the cursed island of Sharr on separate routes but decide to unite to retrieve an ancient item to bring magic back to the land.Ī personal favorite character was Altair who, from the beginning, seems shady but his nonchalant behavior and witty humor make him someone who makes the reader laugh every time he appears on the page.Īrab readers will find themselves completely immersed in the story with its mentions of gahwa, dates, kunafah, and so much more. Nasir is a trained assassin prince who kills for his father and sultan as he tries to gain the affection of his father and earn his place as the prince. Zafirah is a huntress who dresses up like a man and refuses to reveal her gender to her town while she travels to a dark and dangerous forest to hunt for her people. The story starts with a kingdom divided into lands led by different caliphs under a single sultan and revolves around the main characters Zafirah and Nasir. The “Sands of Arawiya” duology - “We Hunt The Flame” and “We Free The Stars” - is written by Hafsah Faizal.Īlthough the books are for everyone, the Arab community can especially relate to it as the descriptive narrative emulates Arab culture and traditions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Worse yet, the would-be assassin always seems to be one step ahead of them, implicating someone close to the prince - or the investigation.
