Adventures in Literature, Wednesday, Period Three [Class Eleven]

Drake was happily munching on a lunch of veggie pizza when students began to file in. It was probably best not to ask where the toppings came from. "So in 1816," Drake said when the class began, " Mary Shelley , Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori, who went on to beat Stoker to writing about vampires but didn't get the fame or chicks, all vacationed at Lake Geneva together. They were ...

HELP!

... Mary-Sue stories today--such as the Twilight books, which are labeled "escapist" literature (boooo) as opposed to "realistic" literature (yaaaay), just like Pamela was labeled as "sentimental" literature (boooo). Now I'm thinking about expanding this last part about the escapist literature and women living vicariously thru female characters--and why EXACTLY do we ...

Books 37 - 51

..., and though they had reason, I just couldn't enjoy reading the novel. 47. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke - A sort of cross between epic fantasy and 19th century literature, this tells the story of two magicians trying to restore long-lost magic to England. Sometimes friends, sometimes enemies, the decisions they make and the deals they strike affect a whole country and ...

"He Got a Secret That They All Don't Know..."

Dear yuletide Santa: I am super super excited because this is my first ever go at Yuletide. Anyway, I put down three fandoms. Arthurian: I love Arthuriana, and I love Gaheris/Mordred. >_> Mostly I like the weird dynamic between them, and how Gaheris is not really stable but deeply devoted to Mordred, and Mordred kind of but not quite understands how Gaheris works. Also, I have a ...

earthsea

I recently read the Earthsea books by Ursula K Leguin: A Wizard of Earthsea , The Tombs of Atuan , The Farthest Shore , Tehanu , and The Other Wind . I enjoyed them a lot, and they stood out to me as being different from other fantasy books I have read. They described a very rich and distinctive world, true, and had unconventional protagonists, and both utilized and questioned various ...

Boredom & Literature

... passing by, especially since she was nearly as tall as the towering bookshelves. Sticking out like a sore thumb certainly left Fran on edge but after she found her first piece of literature, all the nervousness she felt just dissipated.

«Маятник Фуко» и «Словарь "Маятника Фуко" Умберто Эко»

Роман Умберто Эко «Маятник Фуко», несмотря на исключительную плотность текста и обилие культурно-исторических реалий, читается довольно легко, однако оставляет в некотором недоумении. Созданный в русле постмодернистской эстетики, он безупречен с точки зрения воплощения теоретических идей Лиотара, Дерриды, Лакана, Кристевой, самого Эко и многих других; он великолепен с точки зрения языка и ...
