He introduces himself as a "judge-penitent" - a paradoxical profession that Clamence will take the entire narrative to explain. ![]() Clamence speaks of the corrupting influence of modern society on simple minds, bourgeois character, and human nature generally. The monologue that follows is far from everyday chit-chat. Through a lengthy, one-sided discussion of his own unprincipled life and ideas, Clamence succeeds in unburdening himself and demoralizing his companion.Ĭlamence at first appears to be friendly and helpful, acting as intercessor for a fellow displaced Frenchman and the Dutch-speaking bartender, but he soon becomes more than just a Good Samaritan. In a bar in 20th century Amsterdam, the narrator, Jean-Baptiste Clamence - a one-time Parisian lawyer and power-hungry narcissist - meets a fellow French ex-patriot and former lawyer. ![]() ![]() Heisenberg – "No one understands my trip to Copenhagen.

But not since the long-popular classic Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy, published in 1945, has there been a comprehensive and entertaining single-volume history of this great, intellectual, world-shaping journey.

This story won’t work at all for you if you haven’t. ![]() Either way, if you haven’t listened to Elantris, this contains major spoilers. ![]() Some of you may find it interesting to hear this ahead of time I put it in the annotation, however, as I know others would rather enjoy the story without bias beforehand, then hear my thoughts afterward. In the annotation, I’ve written a further explanation of why I wrote this piece. ![]() This story talks about one of those holes it is meant to be heard after you’ve finished the novel and takes place during the events of the climax. In the back of my mind, I knew what happened. There were always a few holes in the manuscript where I decided not to include viewpoints or sections of explanation in the name of streamlining, particularly at the end. At that point, Elantris had been out in stores for only about seven or eight months, but I actually hadn’t written anything new on the story or world since 2000, when I’d finished the first draft of the original book. Notes from the author: The following is a short story I wrote in the Elantris world back in January of 2006. ![]() ![]() ![]() Existence was hard in the misty hollers of West Virginia and Southeast Ohio back in the 1950s and '60s, a scramble through a muck of religious hypocrisy and other predation that landed pretty much everyone facedown in the mud. This is all, I guess, supposed to communicate some sort of gritty truth. The men don’t fare much better: they’re shot, maimed, and tortured. It makes for a heady, unappetizing stew.īy my count, the women of The Devil All the Time experience the following: death by cancer, death by suicide, death by murder, rape, and another murder. Antonio Campos’s film, adapted from Donald Ray Pollock’s novel, shows us every manner of backwoods shock and depravity. The current film in question, Netflix’s The Devil All the Time (out September 16), would seem to exhaust all potential cliches in perpetuity, though-at least those of the gothic thriller variety. We’ve seen this before, and will soon see it again in the upcoming Hillbilly Elegy. Once again, a troupe of actors has gone humping up to Appalachia, carrying with them banjo-twang accents, some sounding almost swallowed by gravel, all determined to tell a story of life in the lonely wild. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room | Little Monkey LibraryFirst, I must confess that we are Berenstain Bears collectors, enthusiasts, ok we own close to 100 of their books !!!
