Today: Author Allyson Reedy chats with Colorado Sun reporter Kevin Simpson about her new F. Scott Fitzgerald-inspired book, "Mrs. Wilson's Affair".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, said that "Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind." When we think of the Mission of God the Father to Redeem and Re-Create a Family of his own for a future Glory, it was through the impassioned work of His Son, the Lord Jesus, that it was put into effect. And when it came down to ensuring that Mission would endure whilst he sat down at the right hand of the Throne of Glory, what was on his mind? What did he use as the vehicle for that effect? His Church! Sometimes, we see The Church as pedestrian, sectarian, and just a religious expression, and forget it's chief purpose, our Glorious, Normie, Purpose! Listen in on this deep dive into the mission - YOUR mission - given to us by Jesus!▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df
W tym odcinku „Raportu o książkach” zapraszam na drugą odsłonę dyptyku amerykańskiego – opowieść o Wielkim Gatsbym, a właściwie powinnam powiedzieć „Tym Wielkim Gatsbym”, bo taki właśnie tytuł nosi nowy przekład najsłynniejszego dzieła Francisa Scotta Fitzgeralda.Wielki Gatsby to jedna z najbardziej obecnych w popkulturze postaci literackich. Ale czy ta ogromna popularność bohatera Fitzgeralda przyczyniła się do powszechnego rozumienia tej wielowymiarowej, zagadkowej powieści? Powieści, która – mimo że objętościowo skromna – swoim rozmachem literackim prowokuje ciągle nowe odczytania.Żadna z postaci „Tego Wielkiego Gatsby'ego” nie daje się łatwo rozszyfrować. Zagadkowy narrator prowadzi czytelnika na granice świata rzeczywistości i nierzeczywistości.To powieść o Ameryce lat 20. ubiegłego wieku, o wielkich marzeniach i wielkich aspiracjach. O świecie, w którym rządzą pieniądze, ale nie każdy pieniądz jest przepustką do amerykańskiego snu. Bo wbrew deklaracjom Ojców Założycieli w Ameryce wolność i równość darowane są tylko wybrańcom.A może „Ten Wielki Gatsby” nie jest powieścią tylko o Ameryce? Być może najważniejsze proroctwo Fitzgeralda dotyczy piekła, które miało rozpętać się w Europie w trzeciej i czwartej dekadzie XX wieku?Gatsby opowiada też ponadczasową historię o pragnieniu miłości i próbie odzyskania przeszłości, a także o wielkiej samotności.Fitzgerald to postać złożona i bardzo niejednoznaczna. Pytanie: czy tropy biograficzne powinny komplikować odczytanie jego literackiego dzieła?Prowadzenie: Agata KasprolewiczGość: Maciej ŚwierkockiKsiążka: „Ten Wielki Gatsby” F. Scott Fitzgerald / przekład: Maciej Świerkocki / Wydawnictwo Officyna---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiakSubskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ➡️ https://dariuszrosiak.substack.comKoszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/ [Autopromocja]

Roaring 20s novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.”Well, yes… they're rich!But maybe you're doing pretty well these days, counting yourself among the rich. That's charming, but let's check the latest wealth indicator: Do you have a “private concierge?” You might live in a megahouse, have a maid and a nanny, travel First Class – but having a private concierge is what separates you commonplace millionaires from the filthy rich.What do these personal servants actually do? “We fix problems,” says one owner of a boutique firm that offers “hyper-personalization” services to select clients worldwide. Want to get a table tonight at a fully-booked restaurant in Paris? Don't call the restaurant – call your fixer, gets it done. If you're going to a formal ceremony in Hong Kong but – OMG you left your tuxedo back home in Oshkosh. Your concierge will find a courier to deliver it on time.In addition to dealing with such upper-class urgencies, these “lifestyle managers” also relieve the überrich of having to cope with everyday details of real life. No need to call a plumber, plan a birthday party, shop for basics, and such – that's why you pay about $75,000 a year to have your own handler. They've become such a must-have emblem of luxury that even Chase Bank and American Express now offer concierges to their high-end clients.What's at work here is a decadent ethic of royal entitlement. It's a grandiose (and socially-destructive) assumption of superiority by the filthy rich – who misinterpret their wealth as worthiness. Oh, and we common taxpayers get to subsidize these personal concierges.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

‘Salem's Lot is FIFTY years old this month. Hellfire, how did that happen? We're gonna celebrate the bloodsucking and small town shenanigans for all they are worth!! But some of you know that the Lot sits just to one side of the Path of the Beam – so this is also a key zig in our endless zagging towards The Dark Tower. You may just not know why yet? And neither does Chris, so no one tell him. So in this two-fer episode we honour a true horror classic of 20th century literature, and we inch one step closer to the nexus of all things. Efficient! Enjoy. Other books mentioned: “Jerusalem's Lot” and “One For the Road,” both in Night Shift (1978), by Stephen King Shitshow (2025), by Chris Panatier The Rats (1974), by James Herbert Dracula (1898), by Bram Stoker The Great Gatsby (1925), by F.

A Susana Martín Gijón la descubrimos gracias a la inspectora Camino Vargas, con una novela que nos encantó: Progenie. Ya veremos quién le pone carne y piel a ese personaje, que salta a la televisión, a través de un serie. Pero es que Susana no solo ha brillado en el género policiaco. Nos sorprendió con La Babilonia, 1580, donde demostraba su versatilidad y también manejo de la novela histórica. Transitando por esa vía llega a La Capitana, la novela que presentamos. Estamos en Granada, allá por 1585. En una ciudad que está devastada después de la Reconquista, Sor Ana de Jesús, apodada «la capitana» por su mano firme, lucha por sacar adelante su convento cuando el cadáver de un hombre horriblemente desfigurado aparece en el claustro de su cenobio.Una obra que ha publicado Alfaguara y que nos ha encantado. Scott Fitzgerald o William Faulkner son quizá los escritores más conocidos que probaron suerte en Hollywood, trabajando de guionista, con más o menos suerte. Pero hay uno que también merecería estar en esa lista especial. Alguien que estuvo detrás de La jungla de asfalto o Hampa dorada merece nuestra atención, y nuestro agradecimiento. Rendimos homenaje a William Ridley Burnett. uno de los grandes. A sus pies.Y en la sección de Audiolibros, Misterio en el Barrio Gótico, la novela premiada de Sergio Vila-San Juan.Y además, un puñado de novedades muy interesantes.

Service, change, and tradition — three stories that define where Kentucky's headed. Scott Fitzgerald explores a new way of serving those who've served, a turning point for drivers and buyers, and a nod to the sports that bring the Commonwealth together.

Podcast Description: “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” — Voltaire. In this episode, we dive into a teaching song built around this timeless idea: that the questions you ask determine the direction of your life, your results, and your legacy. We break down the lyrics, explore why questions unlock creativity and clarity, and highlight ten sharp questions to ask yourself before making any big decision. From business growth to personal relationships, discover how the quality of your questions shapes the quality of your future. “The Quality of Your Questions” Verse 1 Judge a man by his questions, not by his replies, Voltaire whispered wisdom that still opens our eyes. It's not the answers you chase, it's the questions you choose, They build up your future, or make you lose. Chorus (Mantra)
Today, Alicia has the sad tale of the King and Queen of the Jazz Age, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. Though they never divorced, the story is a great illustration of the reality that some marriages don't work, and a lot of people would be better off ending a marriage rather than staying in it. That's what Alicia wishes that Zelda had decided, dancing away from their doomed marriage a century ago instead of disappearing into it.

In June of 1922, the twenty-five-year-old wunderkind F. Scott Fitzgerald published "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," an incredible story of fabulously wealthy people living a secret life in remote Montana. Later that month, he began composing his most famous work, The Great Gatsby. In this episode, Jacke and Mike read and discuss this early Fitzgerald story. PLUS Jacke kicks off a new series, 25 for 25, which looks at the 25 Greatest Books of All Time, with a discussion of #25, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
