![]() ![]() In their writings, Hamilton, Jay, and Madison detailed many of the provisions in the proposed Constitution and responded to concerns expressed by its opponents. The Federalist Papers were written in support of the new federal republic and to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The essays, generally known as the Federalist Papers, were first printed in New York newspapers in 17 and were subsequently compiled in two volumes as The Federalist (1788). ![]() After members of the Convention of 1787 drafted a new constitution for the United States, James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton wrote a series of 85 essays in support of the new government under the pen name "Publius" (a statesman who helped establish the Roman republic). ![]() ![]() ![]() This book also, is a rare portrayal of the marginalised in a society. Yet, this portrayal illustrates the extent to which France as a nation, even after the French Revolution, was hugely varied due to its size and diversity of natural landscape. The Cevennes, as portrayed by Stevenson seems almost imaginary in its backwardness. His fame was such that a price was put on his head. One such tale is of a wolf, which, it is claimed, ate “women, children and ‘shepherdesses celebrated for their beauty’”. ![]() His tale is riddled with folk stories recounted to him by the farmers and peasants he meets. He encounters the people of the region, so different to those near Paris or those in urban France. Stevenson travels an area mostly inaccessible to the outside world. Yet, it is also an unusual and valuable historical source. This book, short in length and filled with Stevenson’s dry humour is an easy and enjoyable read. It is a commentary on his journey, the people of that region, unusual in France for their Huguenot, French Protestant heritage, and his trials with his mode of transport, Modestine, a donkey. In brief, the book is a description of Stevenson’s travels through the Cevennes, an area in central France. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes may, at first, seem an odd choice of book for a history undergraduate. ![]() ![]() ![]() And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.Īt least, that's the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There was also the legend of Kon-Tiki Viracocha, a native chief who is said to have set sail from Peru into the sunset on a balsawood raft. His primary evidence was the Moai statues on Rapa Nui (known in the West as Easter Island) which, he claimed, owed more to South American than Asian culture. Thor’s theory was that the islands making up Polynesia were settled from the West by natives of South America using ‘drift voyaging’ – basically building a raft with a sail and letting the ocean take you. But many remained unconvinced, including a Norwegian Explorer and Ethnographer by the name of Thor Heyerdahl. One theory, advanced in the 1930s is that the Islands were populated step-by-step from South-East Asia. One of the great mysteries of anthropology is how Polynesia – a vast pseudo-country in the Pacific spread triangularly between Rapa Nui, Hawaii and New Zealand – came to be inhabited by people with similar customs, cultures and, notably, languages. The Kon-Tiki voyage led by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl was a huge success and proved beyond doubt that Polynesia could have been settled from South America. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book opens with the question, "How do I get to Heaven? There's someone I'd like to see. The child in this book, along with his friend, question how high is heaven, and the boy tries to figure out how he can get there. When they were older, their Grandma Judy moved to Heaven. When they were really young, they used to release their balloons into the sky to send them to Grandma Barb. My children had two grandmas move to Heaven during their childhood. This book is special because it focuses on a child who wants to see his grandmother who has gone to Heaven. This book, How High is Heaven? takes that question a little further. I also remember wondering if Heaven was in the clouds. I remember, as a little child, trying to dig a hole to China. ![]() ![]() Read the novel to know more about this fascinating tale of power, darkness, hope and betrayal. ![]() What is the secret of Nel’s death? What mysteries lie in the drowning pool? Is Jules safe? ![]() For hundreds of years, it has taken enough lives to be considered unnatural. She knows Nel would have never jumped, she was strong and loved life she would never want it to end this way.īut when it comes to the Pool, one can never know. She is afraid of Beckford, of the Mill House, of the river but most importantly she is afraid of the Drowning Pool. She is doing something which she promised herself to never do – going back to the Drowning Pool and to the evils that lurk in its waters. Unwillingly, Jules is dragged back to the town Beckford and its mysterious waters. Now, Nel is dead and it is said that she committed suicide. Estranged as they were, Jules never bothered to answer her sister’s call. “Into the Water” is the story of a small-town, Beckford, and the mystery which surrounds its waters.Ī few days before she dies, Nel Abbott had been calling her sister Jules urgently. This was not such a good idea because the book is remarkedly different from Hawkins’s first book and that probably is the only reason why I wasn’t much satisfied when I finished reading Into the Water. So, I started reading “Into the Water” keeping in mind my likeness for Hawkins’s previous book. Having read the phenomenally successful book, “The Girl on the Train” by the same author, comparisons between the two books were inevitable. ![]() ![]() They may begin in curiosity and end in grief they may start with irony and end with lyric transformation they may, and often do, begin with the everyday and end in the infinite.

These accounts are necessary not just to give the reading audience a sense of chronological progression but also an idea of Annie’s intellectual, emotional, and social maturation. The book is full of descriptions of places, people, sensations, and nuances of emotions she experiences growing up, all noted in painstaking detail.
