Cleopatra by Joyce A. Tyldesley6/8/2023 Ruthless in dealing with her enemies, many within her own family, Cleopatra steered her kingdom through difficult times, and very nearly succeeded in creating an eastern empire to rival the growing might of Rome. Her famous liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony had as much to do with politics as the heart. Highly intelligent, she spoke many languages and was rumored to be the only Ptolemy to read and speak Egyptian. But who was Cleopatra, really?Ĭleopatra was the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty of Ptolemies. Shakespeare portrayed her as an icon of tragic love. Pascal said the shape of her nose changed the history of the world. The Romans regarded her as fatale monstrum”a fatal omen.

Le acarició la cabeza con la punta de los dedos y cuando creyó que el marido no la miraba, le dio un beso furtivo" -all leading to uncomfortable laughter. Ocampo's peculiar sense of humor is clearly the dulce de leche filling of our alfajor argentino with the cookie-like descriptions of 1) the pet owner Mercedes-"Con su tejido en la mano esperaba como Penélope, tejiendo, la llegada del perro embalsado" 2) the now glass-eyed Mimoso himself-"Nunca había parecido de mejor salud.lo único que le faltaba era hablar" 3) and in particular Mercedes' reaction to the new and improved, "bien peinado y lustroso" post-embalming Mimoso-"Ese perro muerto la acompañaría como la había acompañado el mismo perro vivo, la defendería de los ladrones y de la soledad. Alfajores Havanna or Cachafaz? * Whatever, it's now time for the dessert & coffee portion of Spanish and Portuguese Lit Months 2018 at long last! "Mimoso", a four page-long morsel from "Silvina is a Borges" Ocampo's 1959 La furia which brings unwanted attention to that previously innocent term "animal lover," is the giddily effed-up taste treat in question-a morally dubious tale about a woman who so loves her dog Mimoso that she decides to embalm him after his passing only to eventually arouse the suspicions of her neighbors.

Intimations zadie6/7/2023 Instead, it reads like a bunch of diary entries, and not the kind of deep, reflective diary entries I might find interesting. I thought this was going to be a book about the pandemic but it's not. I equally don't give a shit about hearing how you grab a macchiato when you have two minutes to spare. I don't give a shit about your neighbour's dog and I don't give a shit about how you and your masseuse chat about holidays. Unfortunately this book is the equivalent of small talk. I don't have energy to be around people a lot and so when I am, I want to use that energy to have deep and meaningful conversations. I hate parties where everyone has to stand around gibbering nonsense. I thought a book of essays about the pandemic would be something everyone can relate to, and I'd get a taste of Ms. When I saw Intimations, I decided it was time to remedy that. Zadie Smith's books have come across my radar many times but I'd never read one. Did I read the same book as everyone else? Because I totally don't get all the four and five star reviews I'm seeing.

This book was so much fun and overall a great adventure. I read it in just over a day, and I just know I would have loved it in my pre-teen years! I don’t usually read middle grade at all, but it didn’t stop me from really enjoying this one. I’ve never read a VE Schwab book before, and I thought MG might be a good introduction!Īnd I definitely wasn’t wrong. It has such a pretty cover, not going to lie. I was drawn to this book for a few reasons: 1. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined. Here, graveyards, castles and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms.īut when Cass meets a girl who shares her “gift”, she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil-and herself. When Cass’s parents start hosting a TV show about the world’s most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh. Cass can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead.
