![]() ![]() He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.Īlthough Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. ![]()

Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly, over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. The difference is partly one of time, he would explain. ![]() ![]() “He did not think of himself as a tourist he was a traveler.

Luckily, Barson’s novel mostly escapes the terrible tropes that so many books about teens losing weight fall into. I’m going to be honest: there is no space on my shelf for books that pander to their audience about weight loss or shame characters or readers for being overweight. It’s difficult to strike the right balance, and it’s easy to become too didactic or present dangerous messages to teens. There’s a certain danger in crafting a YA novel about a character who wants to lose weight. What she discovers on her journey adds up to more than pounds lost. ![]() So when her aunt announces she’s getting married in 10 weeks, Ann decides to lose 45 pounds in two and a half months. Ann feels like her weight has been the driving force of her life. ![]() ![]() In these two doctrines he lays out the biblical arguments that press Christians to give glory to God's inherent excellency. ![]() ![]() And, God is a most excellent being above all things. Burroughs covers two main doctrines: that a gracious heart is not satisfied with praising God only for his works but rises higher to praise him for himself. This is the substance of this ensuing work. It is true that God manifests himself in heaven and earth as glorious, but, there is a further glory of God that is within himself, beyond all that is, or can be manifested in or to any creature. ![]() Burroughs sets his point of view directly in line with the glorious nature of God himself, and the excellent name of God above all things. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Burroughs' text in this work is Psalm 148:13, focusing on the phrase, 'For his name alone is excellent.' His main argument is to demonstrate God's glorious character, that the psalmist does not rest in simply praising God for his glory that appears in the creatures, but he rises higher to praise and bless God for what there is in himself above that which appears in any creature. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was Sara who had created the environment in which Franklin was the sun, moon and stars, and Eleanor was, just there. ![]() The children were always jockeying for their father’s love and approval, while oblivious to their mother’s unconditional love. The collateral damage she effected was Eleanor’s relationships with her children. She comes across as vaguely saintly without ever a hint of “poor me,” although if what I’ve read here and in other books is true, Sara Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor’s mother-in-law, was a force of nature, like a tornado or a hurricane or blizzard, or some other natural destructive event. Eleanor was a much more accessible character than Lorena in this book. Perhaps that is why the dialogue rings true, Eleanor’s remarks more than Lorena’s. She said she relied heavily on Eleanor Roosevelt’s correspondence in crafting her fictional account of Eleanor’s relationship with Lorena Hickok. ![]() I heard an interview on a podcast, probably Just the Right Book, with the author, Amy Bloom. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two-time Newbery Award–winning author Lois Lowry has once again captured the eager energy of an elementary school classroom and the hilarious antics and anecdotes of its students, especially those of the irrepressible Gooney Bird Greene herself. ![]() As the class struggles to decorate the mural, make costumes, and learn their songs for the play, the suspense builds: will the pageant be a success? And who is their mysterious Room Mother? There’s just one catch: the person she convinces to be Room Mother insists on remaining incognito. So Gooney Bird promises to find one-in exchange for the lead. ![]() And so is the role of Room Mother, but with each of the children’s parents already overloaded, there are no volunteers to bring cupcakes to their play. Pidgeon’s second grade class prepares for their Thanksgiving pageant, the lead role of Squanto is still up for grabs. Gooney Bird Greene knows exactly where she likes to be: “right smack in the middle of everything.” Sure enough, her colorful fashion sense, exuberant personality, and “absolutely true” stories land her at the center of attention most of the time, but as Mrs. ![]() ![]() ![]() She opens the door and is about to fall through when Zero grabs her arm and pulls her back. Investigating, she finds an overgrown door with a crescent moon sign on it. She considers going to Valentine Town to ask Queen Ruby for advice, but she hears Zero barking deeper in the woods.
