More recently, Alex completed one of the most epic road trips ever to be documented by summiting what those in the overlanding community call, the Mount Everest of motoring. Enamored by world history, Alex has traveled to the far corners of the globe in search of interesting stories to tell, but more importantly, to shed light on a locale’s culture and current events. Standing next to him however, you would never guess that the guy is an established documentary filmmaker, premiering successful works such as In Forgotten Allies which explores the bygone history of WWII in south-east Asia, as well as a documentary entitled We Were Kings, which tells the true story of Burma’s lost royal family, and won Alex the inaugural award for the first-ever Whicker’s World Foundation Funding Award. In a crowded bar, he blends right in, participating in each new interaction with the same warm enthusiasm. And if one thing can describe just how much of a jovial person Alex is, then let this tiny anecdote he shared about how he got his watch stolen in Argentina while filming a documentary paint a picture for you – “It was the nicest robbery I’ve ever been a part of.” Alex Bescoby, Author and Filmmaker of The Last Overland A conversation with Alex seems less akin to getting to know a stranger, and more like catching up with a long-time friend. After spending some time with Alex Bescoby, it doesn’t take long to be completely disarmed by his charm and charisma.

She is a glass blower and knows that even some of the most beautiful pieces of glass have cracks running through them and this theme is developed as the book progresses through the night. She feels she knows Shadow through his graffiti art and that Shadow is her soulmate (if only she knew who he was). Lucy loves art, reading and is a curious individual. The story is set over one night and is told in alternating chapters by Lucy, Ed and “Poet”. The book is set in Melbourne and truly captures the heart of the city. Well, I finally read Graffiti Moon, and it is beautiful. In the '50s she starred in the sitcom "Life With Elizabeth," and her own talk program, "The Betty White Show."

This posed a challenge with the attendance of classes. Moreover, there was a little time available for the children of the working class to attend schools because they were often laborers in industries and farms. The few available schools were mostly run by religious institutions, which were keen on instilling their doctrines into the children rather than the rightful education. Educationįirstly, during the period of Engels, education for the children of the working class was scanty. When working for his father in England as a businessperson, he investigated the lives of workers at night, the results of which persuaded him to publish the book The Condition of the Working Class in England, which was a critique of the existing social and industrial system.Īs examples, scanty and secular education, use of house cleaners as factories, and the introduction of theological classes are among the impacts that the conditions of the working class had on education, technology, and religion according to Friedrich Engels’ book as revealed in the paper. Friedrich was a philosopher and historian who lived in the time of Karl Marx who was one of his esteemed friends. Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was a socialist and a proponent of the capitalistic economy of England during his time. The Declaration of Independence of the man of science, his emancipation from philosophy, is one of the more subtle after-effects of the democratic form and formlessness of life: the self-glorification and presumption of the scholar now stands everywhere in full bloom and in its finest springtime-which does not mean to say that in this case self-praise smells sweet. In my view it is only from one's experience-experience always means bad experience, does it not?-that one can acquire the right to speak on such a higher question of rank: otherwise one will talk like a blind man about colors or like women and artists against science ("oh this wicked science," their modesty and instinct sighs, "it's always finding out about everything!"-). © The Nietzsche Channel.Īt the risk that moralizing will here too prove to be what it has always been-namely an undismayed montrer ses plaies, as Balzac says -I should like to venture to combat a harmful and improper displacement of the order of rank between science and philosophy which is today, quite unnoticed and as if with a perfect good conscience, threatening to become established.

Book review: Fifth Avenue, 5 am by Sam WassonįIFTH AVENUE, 5 AM by Sam Wasson, (Harper Perennial Books) is a delightful peek at everything that went into the making of the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany`s, into the making of its director Blake Edwards as also its much acclaimed heroine Audrey Hepburn, Henry Mancini who provided the score, and last but certainly not the least, the man who set it all off, the writer Truman Capote, who paid a twisted homage to his mother and one of his haute monde swans (Babe Paley) by coalescing them into one character, the unforgettable Holly Golightly.īasically, everything you wanted to know about everything connected with the character Holly Golightly but didn’t know you wanted to know! Eventually and naturally, after the initial reluctance in their approach, these both cousins fall in love – a love that was considered forbidden at that time (and today as well). When Jude reaches Christminster, he meets his cousin, Sue Bridehead, who is an open-minded woman with a free spirit. Christminster, scholars agree and it seems valid, was a city that Hardy modelled on Oxford. He wants to further his intellect and thus, wants admission into the university at Christminster. Jude is a dreaming personality who wants to become a learned man, a scholar. The novel follows the life of a young man Jude Fawley. The parts are based on the names of the places. Running up to 416 pages, the book has 6 different parts. The edition I read was a 1995 edition published by Wordsworth Editions. Jude the Obscure was first published in 1895. Let’s have a detailed look at the title of Thomas Hardy and we will learn more about available perspectives that we can use to construe this novel. Jude has the same fate as most of the heroes of Hardy but his agony doesn’t find the equaliser that we see with Oak and Dick. Moreover, Jude the Obscure also got lost in the same web of pessimism and loneliness. Still, his attempt could not bring much of the difference that could distinguish his approach. Thomas Hardy’s last completed novel, Jude the Obscure, was also perhaps his very first attempt at writing something beyond his usual periphery of pessimistic, silent and prolonged love-goals.
