He reached his conclusion about Joan's unique place in history only after studying in detail accounts written by both sides, the French and the English.īecause of Mark Twain's antipathy to institutional religion, one might expect an anti-Catholic bias toward Joan or at least toward the bishops and theologians who condemned her. He spent twelve years in research and many months in France doing archival work and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important but also his best work. Very few people know that Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. ![]() ![]() His father was a railway employee and his mother, who died shortly after his birth, a teacher. Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), whose real name is Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, was born on 12 July, 1904, in the town of Parral in Chile. The memoirs conclude shortly after the coup in 1972 that overthrew his close friend Salvador Allende, Chile’s first democratically elected president, as Neruda himself battled cancer. ![]() After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes, then to Europe and Asia. Neruda, a communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. From there, his memoir follows his travels as a globetrotting Chilean consul―including a stint in Spain during its civil war, and in Mexico, where he attracted attention for aiding a man suspected of conspiring to assassinate Leon Trotsky―and his short-lived service as a Chilean senator. A motherless, pensive child in the wild, he began writing poems long before quitting the countryside for Santiago, where he spent his bohemian student years. ![]() Southern Chile was an open frontier when the beloved poet Pablo Neruda was born there in 1904. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both McKee and Crawford have mysterious histories with creatures like Polidori, and their child is a prize the malevolent spirit covets dearly.

This book explains how government action weaponized the law to maintain racially segregated neighborhoods and led to generations of housing instability for many families of color. Now, as the federal and District government face a wave of unemployment, and the surge in housing instability that will result without purposeful government action, The Color of Law takes on renewed importance. I received it as a gift from the Washington Council of Lawyers as part of a training program on eviction defense. This thought-provoking book tells the story of how housing policy has entrenched racial segregation. A few weeks before I joined Legal Aid, I received a copy of The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of finding "male truth" Dworkin has created a radical feminist myth of male truth. Dworkin's rhetoric thus blames men while avoiding questions such as why some men are not drawn to pornography. Even when the image is nonviolent the ideology behind the image must be violent as an expression of the male world vision. Dworkin further sees pornography as an agency of violence that awakens men's deeply rooted obsession with death, directing it toward women. Her referral to the ancient meaning attributes motive to the purveyors: the subordination of women through the way women are represented, equating them with vile whores. Dworkin's definition of pornography comes from the ancient Greeks, whose word "porne" meant the lowest class of whore. ![]() ![]() For Dworkin, this tension is compounded by the tension between "what is" and "what appears to be." If appearance-that pornography is about sexuality-were truth, pornography would be a liberating agent for both sexes. Dworkin's position derives from the tension between "what should be" and "what is." Her conception of the difference between the feminine and masculine nature offers women as the glorious image of what men could be, while men are the dark reminder of what is. Radical feminist Andrea Dworkin has been instrumental in efforts to curtail pornography by defining it as a violation of women's civil rights and allowing individual women to sue the distributors for damages. ![]() |
