![]() ![]() The first version of the story is The Tale of Tinúviel, written in 1917 and published in The Book of Lost Tales. Tolkien found the inspiration for many of the ideas presented in the tale in his love for his wife Edith, and after her death had "Lúthien" engraved on her tombstone, and later "Beren" on his own. After the fulfilment of the quest of the silmaril and Beren's death, Lúthien chose to become mortal and to share Beren's fate. He was the great-grandfather of Elrond and Elros, and thus the ancestor of the Númenórean kings. He lived then with Lúthien on Tol Galen in Ossiriand, and fought the Dwarves at Sarn Athrad. His hand was cut off with a silmaril in it later he was killed by Carcharoth, the wolf of Angband, but alone of mortal Men returned from the dead. The story takes place during the First Age of Middle-earth, about 6,500 years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.īeren, son of Barahir, cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown as the bride price for Lúthien, daughter of the Elf-king Thingol and Melian the Maia. ![]() Tolkien wrote several versions of their story, the latest in The Silmarillion, and the tale is also mentioned in The Lord of the Rings at the council of Elrond. It is the story of the love and adventures of the mortal Man Beren and the immortal Elf-maiden Lúthien. ![]() Tolkien, one of Tolkien's earliest tales of Middle-earth. Beren and Lúthien is a compilation of multiple versions of the epic fantasy Lúthien and Beren by J. ![]() ![]() She was also Thutmose I’s first born and Cooney hypothesizes that Hatshepsut learned how to govern by watching her father. In this role, Hatshepsut was given property and a small staff and was responsible for tending to the needs of the god, Amen. The book starts by highlight that Hatshepsut’s first encounter with power was being appointed the God’s Wife of Amen. My only real critique of the book is that it goes too far in using modern feminism to explain Hatshepsut’s rise and Egypt’s reaction to having a woman Pharaoh. It is also an accessible book for anyone who doesn’t know much about Ancient Egypt, going into great detail how religious, politics, and a royal family’s internal life functioned. It has an easy to read study and, while it sometimes strays a little too far into the theoretical, it never reads like an academic tome. This is a well-written, engaging study of a fascinating woman from Ancient Egypt. ![]() ![]() The Woman Who Would be King: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt by Kara Cooney, 2014, Crown Publishing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this, the first major biography of one of the most important Americans of the twentieth century, John Cooney examines Spellman's rise from a young seminarian from Massachusetts to the clergyman with unparalleled influence on domestic and international politics as well as on American Catholicism.įrom his first days at the North American College in Rome, Spellman carefully cultivated the Vatican inner circle - Cardinal Pacelli, later to become Pope Pius XII, the powerful Sister Pascalina, and Vatican banker Count Galeazzi. Spellman's mark was so great that at his death the Church was said to have become Spellmanized. In his twenty-eight-year reign as archbishop of New York, Francis Cardinal Spellman extended the power and influence of the American Catholic Church further, and wielded them more forcefully, than anyone before or since. ![]() ![]() As the people in the town begin cutting up the carcass of the whale, a widow woman, considered the town witch, discovers a live albino young man in the beast's belly. ![]() "Galore begins with a whale beached near a small community in Newfoundland.

In this quote, Steve Bright, director of the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee, initiates Bryan Stevenson into the secret of the skewed American judicial system. The message Stevenson would like readers to take away from his memoir is that compassion is required to counteract instinctive and ingrained prejudices.Ĭapital punishment means 'them without the capital get the punishment.' Steve Bright, p. ![]() Chief among his concerns is how quick people in positions of power are to judge vulnerable people. In this quotation, Stevenson offers a distillation of his many years of legal advocacy and social justice work.

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty, by Daron Acemoglu and James A. ![]() ![]() All the president needs to do is adapt it to local needs. How did Lee transform his small, decrepit country into an internet economy? There is no need to reinvent the wheel for Nigeria this has been done in Singapore. Nigeria has long been a subject of scorn, even among its own citizens who have decided to vote with their feet in search of better fortunes in other countries. Nigeria needs a leader like Lee, without his dictatorial tendencies. But through stern determination, he led it out of the dungeon. As prime minister of Singapore, he led a nation that was poor, scorned and derided. But it earns my recommendation because it is written from experience. From Third World to First: The Singapore Story: 1965-2000, by Lee Kuan Yew Perhaps after reading this small but powerful book, the incoming president might see where he fits into the “trouble” with Nigeria and how to fix it. The president should then ask himself how he can make a difference. ![]() The writer says: “The trouble with Nigeria is leadership.” Simple. The incoming president should find time to sit down and pore over the 68 pages of this book and see what Achebe has said about our country. ![]() ![]() I particularly liked the fact that Dev was of Indian origins diversity in romance books should be promoted and encouraged. It was a very enjoyable read, with the right dose of angst and the writing was engaging. ![]() There is a little bit of politics, a little bit of D/s and the ending is sweet but there is still so much potential for short stories, bonus chapters and other epilogues. ![]() Fortunately they have two strong allies in their female partners to keep their love under the radar of the officials of their federations and of the other pairs.

Misha is quite a contradictory character at first, but once he interacts with Dev, you can only love him and root for their relationship. The book is divided in two parts: the first part written from Dev’s POV is set during the last period of their amateur career, the second part written from Misha’s POV focuses on what happens after once they started their professional career. Dev and Misha had quite different upbringings but they are connected in the pairs skating world and once Dev accepts his attraction towards his archrival, the flames of lust and passion melt the ice but the competition is still in the way.
