![]() ![]() Now with a new foreword by Harvard professor of philosophy Richard Moran, this clear-eyed translation guarantees that the groundbreaking ideas that Sartre introduced in this resonant work will continue to inspire for generations to come. Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance. ![]() In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers.

The play was given in an English translation in the West End of London in February 1922, and had its American premiere in October of that year at the Princess Theatre, New York. Reception improved at subsequent performances, especially after Pirandello provided for the play's third edition, published in 1925, a foreword clarifying its structure and ideas. An absurdist metatheatric play about the relationship among authors, their characters, and theatre practitioners, it premiered at the Teatro Valle in Rome to a mixed reception, with shouts from the audience of " Manicomio!" ("Madhouse!") and " Incommensurabile!" ("Off the scale!"), a reaction to the play's illogical progression. Six Characters in Search of an Author (Italian: Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore ) is an Italian play by Luigi Pirandello, written and first performed in 1921. ![]() ![]() Too Many Cooks is set at a spa in the American South, where some of the greatest chefs in the world have gathered. We went through the same sort of debate a few years back with sanitized versions of Mark Twain works, and that didn’t seem to go so well. It made me wonder how best to deal with this issue. The next surprise was not so positive: I found it hard to deal with all the careless prejudice that features in Stout’s fiction, and was a significant part of the period during which he lived and wrote (1886-1975). Even though I’d probably read them both before (in fact, I’m sure I read Champagne at some other point in the past), I was engrossed. My first surprise was that these tales stood up well, despite the passage of so much time. ![]() One of the stories in this paperback, Cooks, was originally published in 1938 the other saw print 20 years later. ![]() Like most mystery-fiction fans, I’d read plenty of Nero Wolfe stories in years past, and was ready to become reacquainted. But I finally took it with me on a recent trip. ![]() One of those - comprising both Too Many Cooks and Champagne for One - had been sitting on my shelf, unread, for a couple of years.

This plague continued until about 180 A.D., claiming Emperor Marcus Aurelius as one of its victims. Symptoms included fever, sore throat, diarrhea and, if the patient lived long enough, pus-filled sores. ![]() The Huns then infected the Germans, who passed it to the Romans and then returning troops spread it throughout the Roman empire. The Antonine plague was possibly an early appearance of smallpox that began with the Huns. ![]() The disease, suspected to have been typhoid fever, weakened the Athenians significantly and was a significant factor in their defeat by the Spartans. The symptoms included fever, thirst, bloody throat and tongue, red skin and lesions. As much as two-thirds of the population died. After the disease passed through Libya, Ethiopia and Egypt, it crossed the Athenian walls as the Spartans laid siege. The earliest recorded pandemic happened during the Peloponnesian War. See a timeline below of pandemics that, in ravaging human populations, changed history. The more civilized humans became, building cities and forging trade routes to connect with other cities, and waging wars with them, the more likely pandemics became.

From the introductions of the 14 people competing many are either wannabe celebrities or down and out celebrities but there are a few like Mack. This is giving me similar vibes to the movie, Would You Rather? which had a similar premise. Mack is offered the chance to compete in a hide and seek competition for a large sum of money if she wins and after meeting her competitors she feels she had a good chance at winning. ![]() The second disturbing things is that our protagonist, Mack’s while family was murdered by her father and the only reason she is alive is because she hid the entire time. We learn about an amusement park where a five year old girl was murdered and even though an employee was arrested for the murder a shoe belonging to a child was found near a part of the park which had been closed off to the public since it opened in the 50’s. The opening to Hide was very interesting as we learn a lot of disturbing things early on. I recently finished Go Hunt Me by Kelly deVos and Hide sounds like a similar kind of book so I decided to pick it up and give it a go since I adored Go Hunt Me. ![]() |
