They knew a few tricks to lessen the scarring, too. Although no one could allay the dread of plague, the medical profession provided cosmetic procedures, women’s sanitary products, dietary advice and horoscopes predicting the sex of unborn babies or the best day to begin a journey.Surgeons performed life-saving procedures, sometimes using anaesthetics, with post-operative antibiotic and antiseptic treatments to reduce the chances of infection. ![]() Calling to mind a time when butchers and executioners knew more about anatomy than university-trained physicians, the phrase ‘Medieval Medicine’ conjures up horrors for us with our modern ideas on hygiene, instant pain relief and effective treatments. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is detailed and takes you through step by step everything you need to know.

Pure sequels, by other authors, either authorized or unauthorized, are a slightly different category of reading, and one which we may create a separate booklist for in the future!Īll books in this list which are owned by Lincoln City Libraries are hotlinked to their entries in our library catalog, so that you may check on their current availability. ![]() Though this book went on to inspire two sequels, and many similar works by other authors in the past few years, these titles are just the latest in a long tradition of “Classics With a Twist.”This list focuses primarily on the novels which retell the well-known stories, but with changes or different viewpoints. One of the most well-known examples of this literary art form would probably be Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Seth Grahame-Smith, which takes Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice from 1813, throws in some undead characters and retells the story…with a twist. A recent trend in publishing in the early 21st century has been the release of books that serve as retellings or reimaginings of classic works of fiction, or parodies of such well-known works. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, the level of forecasting and foreboding that the author incorporates does not lead to the weakening of the structural integrity or overall level of interest the story portends. As stated, the plot is a fairly simplistic one whose power is only augmented by the other literary elements that the author seeks to employ. The first of these elements with which this author will seek to briefly engage is that of the plot. In this way, the plot itself is not what allows the story to have a nuanced and accomplished flavor rather, it is the way that author is able to seek to differentiate what would otherwise by a simple story with advanced and/or complimentary elements of characterization, symbolism, and setting which aid the story in both its overall integrity and believability as well as its power. Although an even deeper and fuller analysis reverts back to such a basic premise, the literary devices, and the means by which the author develops such a theme are far from simplistic. Guy de Maupassant’s shorts story, “The Necklace, is what appears to be a relatively simple story surrounding the unhappiness and void lifestyle that seeking to enrich oneself necessarily leads to. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Social Contract (Classics of World Literature) The Social Contract, a Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, And a Discourse on Political Economy ![]() The Social Contract & Discourse on Inequality: Including Discourse on the Arts and Sciences & A Discourse on Political Economyĭiscourse on Political Economy and The Social Contract (Oxford World's Classics) The Social Contract & Discourses: Limited Edition On the Social Contract, With Geneva Manuscript and Political Economy The Social Contract and The First and Second Discourses (Rethinking the Western Tradition)ĭu Contract Social: Édition Comprenant Avec Le Texte Définitif Les Versions Primitives de l'Ouvrage Collationnées Sur Les Manuscrits Autographes de Genève Et de Neuchâtel (French Edition) ![]() THE SOCIAL CONTRACT AND DISCOURSES Easton Press The social contract,: And Discourses (Everyman's library. Sales Rank Publication Date Lowest New Price ![]() ![]() ![]() Through the lens of personality–Stalin’s as well as those of his most notorious henchmen, Molotov, Beria and Yezhov among them–the author sheds new light on the oligarchy that attempted to create a new world by exterminating the old. In a seamless meshing of exhaustive research, brilliant synthesis and narrative élan, Simon Sebag Montefiore chronicles the life and lives of Stalin’s court from the time of his acclamation as “leader” in 1929, five years after Lenin’s death, until his own death in 1953 at the age of seventy-three. But though the facts of Stalin’s reign are well known, this remarkable biography reveals a Stalin we have never seen before as it illuminates the vast foundation–human, psychological and physical–that supported and encouraged him, the men and women who did his bidding, lived in fear of him and, more often than not, were betrayed by him. The almost unfathomable scale of his crimes–as many as 20 million Soviets died in his purges and infamous Gulag–has given him the lasting distinction as a personification of evil in the twentieth century. Fifty years after his death, Stalin remains a figure of powerful and dark fascination. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a lolita, I fully understood the emotional pain caused by staining rare brand beyond rescue and the reflex to protect my clothes first and myself second. For someone who is into the fashion themselves, this is a magical experience: to read a story about someone who also enjoys this niche thing, to get all the terms and in-jokes before they’re explained, to understand some of the instincts that Holly has that must seem odd to non-lolitas. And she’s not afraid of guiding the reader through that world fully. Now, Holly is more than just a Harajuku fashionista - she is a lolita.

There’s also the alarming issue of whether her sisters are actually dead-or if they’re waiting in the wings to usurp the throne. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns with the highly anticipated third book in the Three Dark Crowns series! And while Arsinoe, Mirabella, and Katharine all have their own scores to settle, there is another queen stirring things up on Fennbirn Island. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jubilee: The First Therapy Horse and an Olympic Dreamįor Multicultural Children’s Book Day, the organization asked me to review the nonfiction picture book Jubilee: The First Therapy Horse and an Olympic Dreamwritten by KT Johnston and illustrated by Anabella Ortiz.
