Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino5/20/2023 He wrote: " My working method has more often than not involved the subtraction of weight. Some of his writing has been called postmodern, reflecting on literature and the act of reading, while some has been labeled magical realist, others fables, others simply "modern". His style is not easy to classify much of his writing has an air reminiscent to that of fantastical fairy tales ( Our Ancestors, Cosmicomics), although sometimes his writing is more "realistic" and in the scenic mode of observation ( Difficult Loves, for example). His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952-1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If On a Winter's Night a Traveler (1979). He was a journalist and writer of short stories and novels. Italo Calvino was born in Cuba and grew up in Italy. The sound of thunder ray bradbury5/20/2023 There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame. If you disobey instructions, there’s a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars, plus possible government action, on your return.” Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue. “We guarantee nothing,” said the official, “except the dinosaurs.” He turned. “Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?” The muscles around his mouth formed a smile as he put his hand slowly out upon the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars to the man behind the desk. The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water, Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness:Ī warm phlegm gathered in Eckels’ throat he swallowed and pushed it down. Bradbury painted that scenario in his 1952 story, A Sound of Thunder. In Ray Bradbury’s vision, reality was a fabric so delicate that the crushing of a butterfly could ripple up through 65 million years to change the results of an election.

One last stop jane5/20/2023 August was raised on a steady diet of self-defense, lock picking and investigative tactics. Her entire life has been mostly centered around a cold case-before she was born, her mother’s brother disappeared without a trace. She doesn’t expect to find a home there, but she hopes she finds a reason to stay.

An egg is quiet by dianna hutts aston5/20/2023 "An egg is clever," in fancy script, for instance, sits alongside examples of camouflage: "An egg might be speckled to resemble the rocks around it." The letters' dramatic curlicues mimic curvy grasses and vines dappled with tiny insect eggs. The main text appears in large, flowery cursive, while a smaller printed typeface serves as labels and brief factual captions. For example, a border that resembles a color test pattern runs down the outer edges of a spread of nearly 40 carefully placed "colorful" examples, set against a white background, which dazzle the eye. ) skilled use of contrast and compositional balance prevent monotony. In most spreads, different adjectives (colorful, shapely, textured, etc.) complete the sentence, "An egg is." This repetitive rhythm contrasts with the visual variety of the illustrations. The narrative then launches into a kind of survey about the characteristics of eggs, which follows a simple format. ) begins, as spot illustrations zero in on a hummingbird, emperor penguin and sea turtle, respectively. buried beneath the sand," Aston ( When You Were Born It sits there, under its mother's feathers. Like the subject matter it describes, this book packages with understated elegance the substantive matter found within it. This "smart book of enormous strengths" ( Boston Globe) remains the standard work on the wrenching post-Civil War period-an era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today. It addresses the ways in which the emancipated slaves' quest for economic autonomy and equal citizenship shaped the political agenda of Reconstruction the remodeling of Southern society and the place of planters, merchants, and small farmers within it the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and committed, for a time, to the principle of equal rights for all Americans.
