Hodgson in The Venture of Islam: Conscience and History in World Civilization (3 vols) (Chicago University of Chicago Press, 1974). As Nile Green notes in the book's introduction, the concepts of the "Persianate world" or "Persian zone" as a geographical space in which Persian language, literature, and culture enjoyed hegemony was articulated over fifty years ago by Marshall G. The Persianate World sets out to fill a gap in both Persian studies and linguistic history: exploring the geographic frontiers of the Persian-writing world. ![]() Berkeley: University of California Press, 2019.

The publication of this 184-page collection also coincided with the European release of the series' fourth installment, L'Enfer, le silence (literally The Hell, the silence), in September 2010. In 2010, Dark Horse Comics published all three translated volumes as one volume. An English translation of the third volume was delayed due to the bankruptcy of its North American publisher, iBooks. The second volume, Arctic-Nation, was published in 2003 and the third, Âme Rouge ( Red Soul), was published in 2005. The first volume, Quelque part entre les ombres (literally Somewhere between the Shadows, but simply called Blacksad in the US), was published in November 2000. Though both authors are Spanish, their main target audience for Blacksad is the French market and thus they publish all Blacksad volumes in French first the Spanish edition usually follows about one month later. ![]() ![]() Blacksad is a noir comic series created by Spanish authors Juan Díaz Canales (writer) and Juanjo Guarnido (artist), and published by French publisher Dargaud in album format. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some months after the fact, a review is here for your delectation. ![]() Having already reviewed The Cuckoo’s Calling (and loved it), I was excited to hear that a sequel would be gracing the shelves in 2014. Rowling adopted the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith and introduced readers to the fantastically tenacious and complex Cormoran Strike, that I finally found a modern crime novelist who fits my reading tastes. Give me a non-traditional private detective, such as Poirot or Miss Marple, and I am happy to pass hours unravelling mysteries alongside them. Modern mystery thrillers, in the mould of those by John Grisham, just don’t really do it for me. When it comes to crime fiction, I tend to live exclusively in the past. ![]() I have written often of my love for the genre, particularly the works of the Queen of Mystery, Agatha Christie. My adoration of a good mystery is no surprise. ![]() ![]() In 1961, Rotolo became aware of Bob Dylan. Rotolo appears in the Alan Lomax documentary Ballads, Blues and Blue Grass which was released in 2012. ![]() She was involved with the Greenwich Village folk scene, and was friends with Dave Van Ronk, dated the folk singer Paul Clayton and knew many of the most prominent people in Greenwich Village. Rotolo helped with the 1960 release of 12 folk albums for the Prestige International Records label. She accompanied him on his excursions down South to record remote folk singers. In the early 1960s Rotolo was an assistant to the eminent folklorist and musicologist Alan Lomax. Her younger sister Suze often joined her. She also worked as a set decorator for many off-Broadway plays and shows in New York. As an artist, she painted, drew and sculpted. Like her mother, Rotolo was a political activist but also followed in her artist father's footsteps. ![]() ![]() Mary was a writer and editor for several union newspapers, and Joachim painted worker murals. Rotolo was the first child of Joachim Rotolo and Mary (Pezzati) Rotolo, who were union activists. Mary Rotolo (mother), Suze Rotolo (sister)Ĭarla Rotolo (Ma– August 25, 2014) was an American artist, folk singer and folk music researcher. Artist, folk singer, folk music researcher ![]() ![]() ![]() The title’s a bit curious given that most of the “action” takes place in the city, but rest assured that by the end (for now) of the largely-wordless narrative our heroine/authorial stand-in makes it to the rural retreat in question. Continuing our frenzied and likely haphazard overview/brief analysis of stuff I read over the course of my break from posting here, we happen upon the following foursome of comics -Ĭabin In The Woods, Part One By Tara Booth – Admittedly, the cover price on this 2019 comic from Berlin’s Colorama is steep at 18 Euros plus shipping, but there’s no denying that it’s absolutely gorgeous, as well - which comes as no surprise given that all of Booth’s gouache-painted comics are. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stunningly illustrated, Batman: The Killing Joke The Deluxe Edition has been lushly recolored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this modern classic. ![]() In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain, the Joker-and changes Batman's world forever. Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the superhero with Watchmen and V For Vendetta. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and the Joker's insanity snap once and for all? Access codes, CD's, and other accessories may not be included. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition) by Moore, Alan. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's out to prove his deranged point. ![]() ![]() In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain, The Joker, and changes Batman's world forever.Īccording to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as the Joker, that's all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Critically acclaimed author Alan Moore redefined graphic novel story-telling with Watchmen and V for Vendetta. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Lo mas importante, mi Arturito, es el amor y la fe,” says Abuela. Now, Arturo’s family and friends must fight back to stop Pipo, and these friends include Carmen, a spirited visiting Spaniard who stirs confusing, wonderful feelings within Arturo. The money-grubbing intruder woos neighbors and old friends with gifts and a flashy festival. But when a sleazy land developer named Wilfrido Pipo arrives in town to build an upscale high-rise right where La Cocina stands, derailing the Zamoras’ plans to expand the family business, Arturo sees that his Miami neighborhood’s in trouble. Hanging out with friends, working part-time at his family’s restaurant, La Cocina de la Isla, and joining in Sunday family dinners guarantees some fun times at the start of the hot season. ![]() ![]() Summer’s bringing its share of changes for 13-year-old Arturo Zamora. “When you decide you’re going to tell a girl you like her, you need galactic-level courage.” ![]() ![]() ![]() This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas- about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. ![]() ![]() The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. Critics were overwhelmed-“it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you” ( Chicago Tribune)-and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. ![]() |
