![]() She has worked on the contemporary novelist Mikhail Shishkin, whose Maidenhair she ranks almost with Tolstoy’s writing, and served as co-translator of Mikhail Gorbachev’s memoirs. Schwartz has translated Russian writers ranging from Ivan Goncharov and Mikhail Lermontov to Mikhail Bulgakov and Yuri Olesha to Yuri Mamleev and Venedikt Erofeev. Indeed, as its translator Marian Schwartz told The Octavian Report, the book is “within human error of being perfect.” But it is also far more than that, as its enormous cultural and personal impact on generations of readers Russian and otherwise can attest. It is the realistic novel par excellence. To call Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina one of the greatest novels ever written does it something of an injustice. ![]() A meditation on religion and the secular world, the differences between erotic and spiritual love, and the loneliness we all must struggle to overcome.

A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed-not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself. The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. And then, of course, there’s the one I’m all too familiar with. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth–Pestilence, War, Famine, Death–four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Genre: New Adult Fantasy Romance, Post Apocalyptic ![]() ![]() ![]() Rousseau a fact that in the modern world, humans come to derive their very sense of self from the opinions as corrosive of freedom and destructive of authenticity. ![]() This concerns a material dimension and a more important psychological dimensions. The concern to find a way of preserving human freedom in a world of increasingly dependence for the satisfaction of their needs dominates work. Own firmly negative view saw the post-hoc rationalizers of self-interest, apologists for various forms of tyranny, as playing a role in the modern alienation from natural impulse of humanity to compassion. ![]() ![]() This important figure in the history contributed to political and moral psychology and influenced later thinkers. Swiss philosopher and writer Jean Jacques Rousseau held that society usually corrupts the essentially good individual his works include The Social Contract and Émile (both 1762). ![]() ![]() ![]() I particularly liked the chapter on Function Theory in the Unit Ball of C n. If you know his work already, you would connect it nicely. That part appeared a little informative, but technical read. In his autobiography, Rudin has discussed some of his contributions to mathematics as well. He discusses the path and family traits of that journey, in a somehat uncomplicated language. Like many scientific minds of that era, he had a long route to the United States. That part for once enthused me! Was wondering how Lausanne would have been 70 years ago! If you are completely unaware of the life in Europe around the WW period, then this will give you a perspective. There is a chapter on his days in Switzerland, which also touched upon Lausanne. However, I could connect many incidents from Rudin’s life, primarily because of the geography. ![]() The best I liked is the one from Karl Popper. ![]() ![]() Of course one cant write an imaginary story in an autobiography, but then the incidents in his life is pretty much the story of any European intellectual during the war days. From a mathematician who wrote excellent books on functional analysis and several others, I was expecting a much better story. It wasn’t particularly interesting, to say the least. His autobiography is titled The way I remember it, published by AMS in the history of mathematics series. I’ve finished reading the memoirs of Walter Rudin. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After all, past midnight is Stephen King's favorite time of day.

A professor of religion at the University of North Carolina, he was formerly a fundamentalist Christian who de-converted to agnosticism, and now writes books exposing the apparently fallacious claims of traditional Christianity. For those who don't know, Ehrman is something of a celebrity sceptic in the United States. The opening salvo this year comes courtesy of the indefatigable Bart Ehrman. ![]() Such tirades by the evangelists of scepticism seem almost to constitute a pastoral responsibility on their part annually to reinforce the ideological conceits of their tribe of followers, thus providing atheists, agnostics and "nones" with reassurance that they needn't take Jesus too seriously. Easter is now upon us, and we await the predictable onslaught of naysayers who declaim with an almost evangelical fervour that the Jesus story is one big lie. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Pyramid of Mud (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #22) (Paperback): Game of Mirrors (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #18) (Paperback):Ī Beam of Light (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #19) (Paperback):Ī Voice in the Night (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #20) (Paperback):Ī Nest of Vipers (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #21) (Paperback): Treasure Hunt (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #16) (Paperback):Īngelica's Smile (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #17) (Paperback): The Dance of the Seagull (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #15) (Paperback): The Age of Doubt (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #14) (Paperback): The Potter's Field (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #13) (Paperback): ![]() The Track of Sand (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #12) (Paperback): ![]() The Wings of the Sphinx (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #11) (Paperback): The Paper Moon (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #9) (Paperback):Īugust Heat (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #10) (Paperback): The Patience of the Spider (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #8) (Paperback): Rounding the Mark (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #7) (Paperback): The Smell of the Night (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #6) (Paperback): ![]() Voice of the Violin (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #4) (Paperback):Įxcursion to Tindari (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #5) (Paperback): The Snack Thief (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #3) (Paperback): The Shape of Water (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery #1) (Paperback): This is book number 2 in the An Inspector Montalbano Mystery series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can visit Candace on the web at and feel free to friend her on Facebook at /candacesblevins and Goodreads at /CandaceBlevins.
