![]() ![]() And so begins Keturah's mission to find her true love and postpone her date with death. ![]() One more condition is that, if she can find her true love in that time, he must let her live a full life. ![]() Keturah distracts Lord Death by telling him a love story, however, she cleverly withholds the ending and promises only to tell it to him if he allows her another day to live. After days of wandering around and growing weaker and weaker, Lord Death eventually arrives for her. The story is about a young woman called Keturah who loses her way in the woods. I love stories like this, that capture the timeless magic of fairy tales and make you feel like you're reading a story that is centuries old even when it clearly isn't. But because of the beautiful, magical simplicity of the writing and the world and the characters. Not because of the love story, which I don't consider a spoiler because anyone with a brain will see it coming from the beginning (Or the cover. This book kind of stomped all over my heart. Each man, when he dies, sees the landscape of his own soul.” ![]() ![]() ![]() He had also once borne the name Mihály Kertész, and before that Emmanuel Kaminer. Although he was in charge of what may be the most treasured film ever made in Hollywood, there was still confusion at his studio whether his name was spelled “Curteese,” “Curtess,” or even “Curtis.” Some people never quite grasped Curtiz’s English, wrapped up as it was in his flamboyant Hungarian accent. No one on the Warner Brothers project received as much as its director, Michael Curtiz-he made $73,400. ![]() The producer, Hal Wallis, took away $52,000 Humphrey Bogart received $36,667 and for loaning Ingrid Bergman for the picture, her proprietor David O. Six writers were paid for script work on Casablanca, and in total they received $47,281. So it’s valuable to note the insouciant flexibility of Michael Curtiz, the Captain Renault (that’s Claude Rains in Casablanca) of movie directors. ![]() And now…well, directors have to be all things.

Yet three recent books, from the heart of the scientific establishment, raise serious doubts about the future of science and explore the reasons for its apparent fall from grace. From Newton to the astronauts, from Darwin to the genetic engineers, from Einstein to artificial intelligence, the search for scientific knowledge has produced stunning intellectual advances and applied technologies that have shaped our culture and our lives. Science and progress have seemed like synonyms for more than a century. ![]() ![]() The book’s title combines having been washed in redemption and waiting for the coming of the Lord (i.e., 1 Corinthians 6:11 and 4:5).Īs a follower of Jesus, the author writes of his longings in the context of the call to be faithful and pure before the Lord.

The Christian's struggle with homosexuality is unique in many ways but not completely so. In the midst of this, WH states, “ I do not think the option of same-sex, erotically expressive partnerships is open to gay believers who want to remain faithful to the gospel.” He describes his growing realization as a youth to his attraction and the accompanying confusion, fear, desires, isolation, and loneliness. Even though he grew up in a healthy Christian family and church environment, he explains his homosexuality in terms of life-long homo-erotic attraction. WH presents the issue of his homosexuality in an autobiographical manner. ![]() ![]() Wesley Hill (WH) is a Christian, a professor of biblical studies, and a homosexual.

Anda starts playing it after a school visit by one of the game’s organisers who talks about the rise of female gamers, the problems encountered by them (sexism, misogyny) ending with a call-to-arms in which girls are specifically invited to play with female avatars.* The idea is that Coarsegold Online provides a welcoming and safe environment in which to do so. First of all, the clear and welcomed feminist message of the book. ![]() There are, I think, three aspects of the novel worth exploring. The book portrays how Anda – the shy and lonely main character trying to fit in at her new school – starts playing Coarsegold Online, a MMRPG (for the non-initiated: massively-multiplayer role playing game) and gets involved with the real-life consequences of playing it. ![]() About how social media and the Internet can potentially shape and change the world.
