![]() ![]() Azzecca-Garbugli, the “paper, pen, and inkpot” with which the host of the Luna Piena attempts to register the names and address of his two customers. The written word crops up in the world of Renzo and Lucia in two ways: as an instrument of power and as an instrument of information.Īs an instrument of power it is systematically antagonistic to the two poor fiancés. Renzo and Lucia cannot read or write in a world in which the written word is always parading before their eyes, and this cuts them off from making their modest dream come true. Not being able to read or write is (or may be presumed to be) a common characteristic of the heroes and heroines of many works of literature before and after them, but I cannot think of another great book in which the fact of being illiterate is so constantly present in the author’s awareness. In I promessi sposi (The Betrothed) this fact is of a decisive importance that I think has never received the attention it deserves. Renzo and Lucia can neither read nor write.

Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil? The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. ![]() ![]() ![]() The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha – a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

But instead, the list is written in a very boring textbook style fashion, one animal at a time, starts with the baby, then mother, then father, and the animal groups. Fun fact: do you know that a mummy elephant and a mummy giraffe are both called a “cow”!). It’s informative, but really could have been written in a more interesting and engaging way (e.g. The last page gives a list of interesting names of animal babies, parents and groups. ![]() But compared to the writer’s other awesome gems like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, this book is undoubtedly a disappointment. ![]() The art works are nice, a signature style of Eric Carle. Carle has created a fabulous color collage of the animal mother and baby. “Does a giraffe have a mother too…” It gets a bit horrifyingly boring when we got to the 5th animals, and my heart sank when I realized there were still 6 more animals to go!Ģ0-month old little-AJ didn’t seem to mind too much about the repetition (although mummy has been creating varied texts for this book just to rescue myself from boredom- “oh look! It’s baby penguin and mama penguin! Oh, remember the song “Mary has a little lamb?”, yes that’s the lamb and mama sheep, baaa baaa!”). The narrator then asks if a lion has a mother, and asks the same question for a giraffe, a penguin, a swan, a fox, a dolphin, a sheep, a bear, an elephant and a monkey. The texts are repetitive “does a Lion have a mother too? Yes! A Lion has a mother.

Vanderkam describes willpower as similar to a muscle. Leaving it until the end of the day only opens up more opportunities to skip it or give it a miss. This way, they can tick it off and get on with the day. This is why a lot of successful people, will exercise before 6am. If you leave the important tasks until the end of the day they’re unlikely to get done.” “If it has to happen, then it has to happen first”. As soon as other people are awake in your household, or people who try to contact you are awake, you are opening yourself up to distractions. Getting up early to tackle a few of your key priorities or favourite hobbies is an excellent way to focus on these tasks without distraction. Successful people, Vanderkam explains, utilise the early mornings to their advantage, it’s the time of the day where they have complete control over their schedule. Vanderkam acknowledges that mornings can be a rushed and chaotic time of day, and starting your day out like this is the reason that so many people live with the understanding that they simply do not have enough time. ![]() ?

She decided to get healthy and to study the effect of treatment on the depressed and insane "in the bin," as she calls it. Out of this raw and overwhelming experience came the idea for her next book.
