In Ken Grimwood’s novel, Replay, Jeff Winston wakes from a soured marriage, a mediocre career, and fatal heart attack to find himself in his eighteen-year-old body. And this sort of backward time travel makes a great story because almost everybody can relate to the question: What if I had only…? Some times, the travel results in a ground hog day-like scenario, an awakening back to the early days of the character’s life. And whether transported by a machine, magic objects, reincarnation or dream, characters find themselves back in time. So fictional travel back in time occurs rather frequently. But there’s no reason to allow pesky reality to interfere with good fiction. Experts claim that time travel into the past defies the universal laws of physics. ![]()

News that the Nazis have looted their home and burned their books, and that Arthur now has a price on his head, seems to arrive from another planet as the film focuses on Anna’s developing artistic talent. Yet, considering the horrors unfolding in Germany, the family’s problems feel staggeringly trivial. ![]() While the children grapple with a new language and unfamiliar customs, Arthur struggles to find work in a country he learns is experiencing an influx of Jewish intellectuals and is fearful of compromising its neutrality.Ī move to a meager Paris apartment only accelerates their diminishing circumstances. Forced to flee to protect her father, Arthur (Oliver Masucci), a noted theater critic and prominent denouncer of Hitler, the family - including Anna’s older brother, Max (Marinus Hohmann), and their mother, Dorothea (Carla Juri) - relocates to the Swiss countryside. We meet 9-year-old Anna in Berlin in 1933, just before the Nazis come to power. ![]() The result is a movie that’s almost as cuddly as the toy in its title. ![]() Painting a curiously cozy portrait of refugee life, Caroline Link’s “When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit” views displacement and the approaching Holocaust primarily through the experiences of a child, Anna Kemper (a captivating Riva Krymalowski). ![]() ![]() ![]() Bookshelves is not for downloading or buying books directly.

Three Black men of historical consequence are seen through what the writer makes of the lives of their mothers and the influence she proposes these women had on their sons. Thank you BookBrowse for giving me the opportunity of this advanced reading book. This book is beyond amazing and so needed at a time where mothers are hardly given the credit for raising such incredible men. ![]() And unfortunately, they had to live to see their sons' deaths. We have to prepare our children for the world. This book shows me that not only were these three mothers exceptional mothers but they didn't get the credit that they deserved. We lose sleep and suffer because of the love that we have for them. This book also helps me to understand that no matter what, as a mother we are always teaching our children and trying to have their lives better than ours. How they were raised and taught shows the type of love that they received. This book is full of love and compassion for their sons. ![]() But where do you start?

So at crucial moments like job interviews and salary negotiations, she tells women to carefully “combine niceness with insistence,” be “relentlessly pleasant,” and appear “nice, concerned about others, and ‘appropriately’ female.” But then again, “even when a woman negotiates successfully for herself, she can pay a longer-term cost in goodwill and future advancement.” We should not “question our abilities and downplay our achievements” in an effort to “protect ourselves from being disliked.” But then again, “people want to hire and promote those who are both competent and nice.” Being disliked isn’t a sustainable option. ![]() Take her advice on how women should navigate one of the most vexing double binds in the workplace: Study after study demonstrates that “success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women.” Sandberg instructs women to resist the urge to internalize those stats. ![]() Unfortunately, Sandberg’s combination of sort-of-feminist analysis and not-really memoir doesn’t square up. ![]() ![]() While nationalism is decidedly not racist, inherently, it has, at times, been associated with extreme ethno-nationalism, as in the cases of Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy. ![]() It almost always masks prior internal differences and conflicts even in its more grassroots and organic forms, as a necessity in order to enable us to “imagine” ourselves as sharing something significant in common. For Anderson, it is enabled, historically, by the widespread existence of print media and the increasingly widespread occurrence of reading (initially, newspapers). ![]() A nation, according to Benedict Anderson, is a “spiritual unity.” It is a tendency of cultural imagination to conceive of one’s self as part of a larger whole of people whom one will never, personally, meet. He explained why each of these factors is limited in its ability to unify and keep together the people(s) of a nation. He also explained that Race, Language, Religion, Community of Interests, and Geography were ways that Europeans at the time (and historically) often thought about the nation and what it holds as a common, unifying factor. ![]() ![]() audience by Benedict Anderson and others, “ Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?” or “ What is a nation?” In this lecture, Renan famously stated that a nation is a “soul” or “spiritual principle” in which what we choose to remember in common and what we choose to forget in common are the paramount defining factors.
