Podcasts about William Makepeace Thackeray

Si tratta di un film storico che trae il proprio soggetto dal romanzo Le memorie di Barry Lyndon di William Makepeace Thackeray. Nonostante all'uscita nelle sale non abbia prodotto incassi cospicui, Barry Lyndon è oggi considerato uno dei migliori film di Kubrick e una delle più importanti opere cinematografiche di tutti i tempi. Per creare un'opera il più possibile realistica, Kubrick trasse ispirazione dai più famosi paesaggisti del XVIII secolo per scegliere le ambientazioni dei set. Le riprese vennero effettuate nel Regno Unito, Irlanda e Germania. Le scene e i costumi vennero ricavati da quadri, stampe e disegni d'epoca; grazie a questa attenzione ai dettagli, il film ottenne i premi Oscar alla migliore fotografia (John Alcott), alla migliore scenografia (Ken Adam) e ai migliori costumi (Milena Canonero e Ulla-Britt Soderlund) nel 1976. Le riprese vennero invece eseguite con l'ausilio della sola luce naturale o, tutt'al più, delle candele e delle lampade a olio per le riprese notturne. Questa scelta implicò l'utilizzo di lenti rivoluzionarie, studiate dalla Zeiss per la NASA (come lo Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7, uno degli obiettivi più luminosi mai realizzati nella storia della fotografia), e di nuove macchine da presa messe a punto dalla Panavision. Il film di questo episodio è “Barry Lyndon”. Con la partecipazione di Lucia Pareti (Cast), Mariangela Ungaro (Colonna sonora), Fernanda Cherubini (Cast), Giulio Tiezzi (Critica), Marco Pieroni (Trama), Bruna Iacopino (Copertina).

Tonight, we'll continue our journey through "The Rose and the Ring," by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1854. The previous episode aired last month. In the last episode, we learned how Princess Angelica's parents neglected to invite Fairy Blackstick to her christening, resulting in Gruffanuff, the strict doorman, being transformed into a brass knocker as punishment for his rudeness. Now, as we turn the page, we explore the lively relationship between Princess Angelica and Prince Giglio. Thackeray masterfully blends humor and fantasy, inviting us to witness the enchanting complexities of young love in this magical realm. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Tonight, we'll dive into the second part of our tale, "The Rose and the Ring," written by William Makepeace Thackeray and first published in 1854. The first episode in this series aired 4 weeks ago. Thackeray, known for his sharp wit and social commentary, infuses The Rose and the Ring with humor and fantasy, offering a playful critique of royalty and social expectations in a magical setting. Previously, King Valoroso of Paflagonia received a letter about Prince Bulbo's visit, sparking excitement and a whirlwind of preparations. In this episode, we explore Princess Angelica's early life, filled with whimsical palace events and a hint of royal mischief. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

1851 it is, and the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Great Exhibition or the Crystal Palace Exhibition took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 15 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century. Famous people of the time attended the Great Exhibition, including Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Michael Faraday, Samuel Colt, writers like Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Alfred Tennyson, and William Makepeace Thackeray. Schweppes was the official sponsor. The Great Exhibition was a celebration of modern industrial technology and design - mainly for the British who were trying to show how through tech, the world would be a better place - leading the nations in innovations so to speak. Six million people, equivalent to a third of the entire population of Britain at the time, visited the Great Exhibition, averaging over 42 000 visitors a day, sometimes topping 100 000. Thomas Cook managed the travel arrangements for the Exhibition, and made the equivalent of 33.2 million pounds in today's cash - or 186 000 pounds back in 1851, and promptly used the money to found the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum, as well as the Natural History Museum. Inventor Frederick Bakewell demonstrated a precurser to something that we know as a Fax Machine. The New Zealand exhibit was well liked, featuring Maori crafts such as flax baskets, carved wooden objects, eel traps, mats, fish hooks and the scourge of the British army in Kiwiland, their hand clubs. A couple of conservative politicians let it be known they were not happy about the Exhibition, saying visitors would turn into a revolutionary mob. Considering that Karl Marx was part of the visitors - perhaps not unsurprisingly. But did Karl Marx use the services of Thomas Cook? Not exactly a question destined for a dissertation. This Exhibition went on to become a symbol of the Victorian Era. Meanwhile … a serious War in one of its colonies, the Cape was more than disquietening - it appeared this war was more a Victorian error. AS in mistake. amaNgqika chief Maqoma was causing Harry Smith sleepness nights, and Colonel Fordyce and his colleagues were fighting for their lives along the Amathola mountains. The Waterkloof ridges — in a place to the west of Fort Beaufort — was where the Khoekhoe and coloured marksmen made their greatest impact. The ex-Cape Mounted Rifles members amongst the rebels had other uses. They understood the British bugle calls, having been trained by the British, further exasperating men like Henry Somerset and Colonel Fordyce. The amaXhosa and Khoekhoe rebels were also much more organised than in previous wars against the invaders. They targeted the Messengers reading updates from British commanders intended for Grahamstown and been reading the reports, and some of the rebels were actually being supplied directly from Grahamstown itself. Then Henry seemed to receive an injection of spine - of determination. On November 6th 1851 he massed two large columns, one under Colonel Fordyce, and the other led by Colonel Michel. Unbeknownest to him, this was to be Fordyce's last mission. Michel's column had to advance up the Waterkloof aka Mount Misery, while Fordyce's column would wait above, on the summit. Michel would drive the rebels up the mountain, Fordyce would trap them and voila! Victory. It didn't quite work that way.

Tonight, we'll read the opening chapters to a new series titled “The Rose and the Ring”. Written by William Makepeace Thackeray, and originally published in 1854, the tale is set in the enchanting imaginary realms of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary. As we follow the lives of King Valoroso, his Queen, and their Princess Angelica, we'll experience a fascinating blend of royal manners and gentle magic. Thackeray's story explores themes of loyalty, power, and family dynamics, with a touch of mystery and charm. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Jackie and Greg don their powdered wigs and dueling pistols for Stanley Kubrick's BARRY LYNDON from 1975. Topics of discussion include the film's origins as a Napoleon biopic, the lead performance from Ryan O'Neal, how its reputation has grown over the years, and why the public discourse needs to evolve beyond the look of the film (which, we agree, is stunning).#59 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012#45 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The Greatest Films of All Time" list.  https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtGraphic Design: Molly PintoMusic: Andrew CoxEditing: Greg KleinschmidtGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSend us a Text Message.Support the Show.Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe

In this episode, we finish up Emma with chapters 51 to 55. We talk about the decision for Mr Knightley to move to Hartfield, the resolution of Harriet's story, and the final scenes between Mr and Mrs Elton. We also reflect on the insights we have gained through this close reading of Emma, and how it has changed our views of the novel.The character we discuss is Jane Fairfax. In the historical section, Ellen briefly revisits her earlier comments about vicars, and then talks about magistrates. For popular culture Harriet talks about four books that retell some or all of the story through the point of view of a different character.Things we mention:General and character discussion:Richard Cronin and Dorothy McMillan [Editors], The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen: Emma (2005)Janet Saidi, ‘Jane Fairfax Drops the Mic‘, The Austen Connection (9 September 2021)Historical discussion:William Savage, ‘The Georgian Clergy', Pen and Pension (16 May 2018)Charlotte M.

Charlotte Mason firmly believed that novels are our greatest teachers, hence why she included them as a major serving in the feast that nourishes our children's education. This episode was recorded live at the ADE At Home conference, February 2, 2024, with Nicole, Emily, and Liz leading a discussion with attendees who had read the book and come to contribute what they had been taught by William Makepeace Thackeray's classic novel Vanity Fair. If you have read the book, you will revel in the myriad messages this book conveyed to us all, and if you have not, you will be inspired to read it.   Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray Talkbox.mom

Barry Lyndon est une épopée à travers lʹEurope des Lumières, un film de Stanley Kubrick, sorti en 1975. A lʹécran, lʹunivers dʹun parvenu et son voyage initiatique adapté des Mémoires de Barry Lyndon de William Makepeace Thackeray. Une histoire dʹanti-héros traitée esthétiquement à la manière de tableaux dʹépoques. Réalisé en décors naturels, avec des costumes dʹépoques, filmé à la seule lumière des bougies pour les scènes dʹintérieur, Barry Lyndon est une somptueuse et scrupuleuse fresque historique à la photographie impeccable. Mozart, Haendel et Schubert sʹinvitent sur la bande-son. Mais son tournage nʹest pas simple. 300 jours de tournage sur deux ans, de nombreuses interruptions, des menaces de lʹIRA, 11 millions de budget, et Stanley Kubrick absorbé par la réalisation de son œuvre. Il pousse à bout ses collaborateurs et ses comédiens. Ryan O ʹNeal et Marisa Berenson se retrouvent au service dʹun metteur en scène avide de perfection. Le tournage est tendu. Mais il faut bien ça pour faire découvrir la cruauté et les raffinements dʹune société sur le déclin, le Siècle des lumières en perdition juste avant la révolution française. Le film rencontre un succès mitigé à sa sortie. Boudé en Angleterre et aux Etats-Unis, il bat des records de recettes en France. Il récolte le BAFTA du meilleur réalisateur et 4 Oscars, Meilleure adaptation musicale, Meilleure direction artistique, Meilleure photographie, et Meilleurs costumes.

durée : 00:30:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - Avec cette conférence dédiée à William Makepeace Thackeray, "Les Annales" commémorent en 1963 les cent ans de la disparition de l'écrivain britannique auteur, entre autre, des "Mémoires de Barry Lyndon" et du sulfureux "Vanity Fair".

Just days before the release of her latest novel, The Vaster Wilds (Riverhead Books, 2023), three-time National Book Award Finalist and The New York Times-bestselling author Lauren Groff sat down to talk to critic Laura McGrath and host Sarah Wasserman. Although Groff admits that she wants “each subsequent book to destroy the one” that came before, writing is always for her an endeavor of focus, ritual, and most of all, love. Whether they retell foundational myths about the nation, as in The Vaster Wilds, or rethink the relationship between faith, nature, and desire, as does Matrix, Groff puts love for her characters, for the planet, and for the process of writing at the center of all her fiction. She discusses an anticipated triptych of novels beginning with Matrix and continuing with The Vaster Wilds that covers 1,000 years of women, religion, and planetary crisis and care. The Vaster Wilds tells a kind of anti-captivity narrative as it follows a servant girl who has escaped from a colonial settlement in 1609. The novel asks what it means to love the wilderness even when it is hostile to human survival. Groff and McGrath explore how the novel offers a cautionary tale about the intertwined ills of colonialism and climate change without shame or condescension. Constantly rearranging “the detritus of the actual world” into stories of faith and love and care, Groff relies on the rituals of daily life to discover the formal architectures of fiction. Mentioned in this episode By Lauren Groff: The Vaster Wilds (2023) Matrix (2021) Florida (2018) Fates and Furies (2015) Arcadia (2011) The Monsters of Templeton (2008) Also mentioned: William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair Joseph Stromberg, Smithsonian Magazine article on the Jamestown Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe John Williams, Stoner Kate Marshall, Novels by Aliens  Find out more about Novel Dialogue and its hosts and organizers here.

We talk about author Hirohiko Araki's flaws and success with the Phantom Blood arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Bringing up his issue with pacing the manga against multiple set pieces and fights spanning multiple environments but also praise his use of writing brave characters that inspire empathy, as well as his ability to use real world science to explain the most bizarre parts of the action.  Skip synopsis @ 5: 11   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   106: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure vol. 4 Chapters 28 and 37 ‘Tarkus and the Dark Knight Blufford' Part 3 and ‘The Three from a Faraway Land' part 2 By Hirohiko Araki Translation by Evan Galloway Lettering by Mark Mcmurray   The Joestar group fight Dio, in response Dio summons the undead Tarkus and Bluford. Bluford fights as if his hair is a third arm, he can also drain blood from each strand of his hair.   Through the power of Hamon, Jojo sloughs off at the undead flesh of Bluford and in turn restores his nervous system. Meaning Bluford feels pain. Bluford restrains his strike and realizes that Jojo is not fighting back, he shows honour and gratitude for being able to feel again, then yields before turning into dust. Tarkus is less sympathetic, he stomps on what remains of Bluford and then blasts the Joestar group a large distance, Zepelli defends himself from the blast by keeping himself horizontal to it, minimizing himself as a target and lessening the surface area of the damage.   Poco, having previously been hypnotized by Dio, returns with the help of two men, however they do not believe Poco and thus torment the young boy. Tarkus appears and kills the two men. The Joestar group close the distance on Tarkus and save Poco, both Jojo and Zepelli use Hamon and static electricity to form a parachute of fallen leaves and parasail to safety. During their journey Zepelli tells Speedwagon of his training with master Tonpetty, but keeps the prophecy that he will die saving Jojo a secret.   They land on the roof a castle which leads Jojo into a trap room with Tarkus, unable to effectively use Hamon. Poco remembers what his sister taught him about bravery and breaks into the room, he opens it up from inside so that Zepelli can fight Tarkus and although Zepelli is fatally wounded by Tarkus, he is able to give the last of his Hamon energy to Jojo, setting Jojo free and passing on the figurative torch to him.   Upon defeating Tarkus in a spectacular fashion they journey towards the town Dio enslaved. They are joined by a new group of men also ready to help finish what Zepelli started. The men are Dire, Straizo, and Zepelli's teacher, Master Tonpetty. Dio awaits them with Poco's sister as his prisoner, she is refusing any temptation of immortality that Dio offers her.       Topics:   ·       “Bravery begets empathy”: Hirohiko Araki has a brilliant technique in that he has characters do brave things for us to feel empathy for them. Both the flashback with Poco and Zepelli set up later events that call for both characters to be brave. ·       A criticism of Phantom Blood is how one fight can be prolonged over vast distances in multiple settings. One can suspect that if opinion polls/ratings had dropped in reader surveys that Dio would have appeared in the same castle as the “Two-Headed Dragon room” however we are introduced to new characters, Dire and Straizo before this time. Poco himself is reintroduced during the fight with Tarkus. This has a detrimental effect on the pacing of the manga.   Other references:   ·       “Turgor pressure” think of the word turgid, which is opposite to flaccid. Something turgid is swollen with water whilst something flaccid just has water sloshing around, there is no build-up of pressure in it. It is often used to describe the build-up of water pressure in the cells of a plant, in this manga it is used to explain the reasoning as to how Bluford can flex and move his hair. This implies that there is a sort of blood plasma in his hair that Bluford has full control over. Until Araki introduced the idea of “stand power” villains in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure gained their powers through their full cellular level control. It is also fair to say that Bluford's hair is not normal and perhaps does resemble that of a plant or a hair cell found in one's ears. In reality; the hair on your head is dead, only the follicles count as a living part of your body and needs blood flow from your skin to be able to generate the keratin that makes your hair strands. ·       Minimising surface area for damage is a technique used by Zepelli and is applied in real circumstances. For example, if someone were to be in a gunfight then laying in a prone position will shrink you as a target to your enemy and avoid splash damage from shrapnel, unless the enemy is on higher ground than yourself of course. An inverse example is if you were to hit the ground in a falling elevator, you would have to spread out the surface damage so as not to break your bones, so laying down in a prone position means your body can better distribute the force of the hit. ·       “To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.”  - William Makepeace Thackeray, Thackery himself was a Victorian era English writer, known for social satire. His most well-known book is arguably Vanity Fair, "Mother is the name for God" appears in the 1994 movie The Crow. ·       Salween River Tibet, implies Tonpetty is a Tibetan monk and that he is Buddhist.   Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

"Barry Lyndon" est une épopée à travers lʹEurope des Lumières, un film de Stanley Kubrick, sorti en 1975. A lʹécran, lʹunivers dʹun parvenu et son voyage initiatique adapté des "Mémoires de Barry Lyndon" de William Makepeace Thackeray. Une histoire dʹanti-héros traitée esthétiquement à la manière de tableaux dʹépoques. Réalisé en décors naturels, avec des costumes dʹépoques, filmé à la seule lumière des bougies pour les scènes dʹintérieur, "Barry Lyndon" est une somptueuse et scrupuleuse fresque historique à la photographie impeccable. Mozart, Haendel et Schubert sʹinvitent sur la bande-son. Mais son tournage nʹest pas simple. 300 jours de tournage sur deux ans, de nombreuses interruptions, des menaces de lʹIRA, 11 millions de budget et Stanley Kubrick absorbé par la réalisation de son œuvre. Il pousse à bout ses collaborateurs et ses comédiens. Ryan O ʹNeal et Marisa Berenson se retrouvent au service dʹun metteur en scène avide de perfection. Le tournage est tendu. Mais il faut bien ça pour faire découvrir la cruauté et les raffinements dʹune société sur le déclin, le siècle des lumières en perdition juste avant la révolution française. Le film rencontre un succès mitigé à sa sortie. Boudé en Angleterre et aux Etats-Unis, il bat des records de recettes en France. Il récolte le BAFTA du meilleur réalisateur et 4 Oscars, Meilleure adaptation musicale, Meilleure direction artistique, Meilleure photographie, et Meilleurs costumes.

In this episode we will hear about a visit to Newry of Daniel O'Connell and a controversial meeting held by Bishop Michael Blake at the cathedral in O'Connell's honour. We'll learn how, just over a decade after its dedication, the cathedral was in such a state of dilapidation that it drew public criticism from the English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray. We will discover how the Bishop responded to Thackeray's criticism by conducting further work on the cathedral by the Newry architect W.J Barre. We'll meet the Dominican, Dr Pius Leahy, the Bishop of Dromore who did not want the job.

Boekenplankje van januari Radio Savannah begint aan een nieuw jaar. We praten je bij over het reilen en zeilen van de winkel, introduceren de boeken van de maand, en kletsen over de boeken die wij zelf hebben gelezen. Wil je meekletsen met Lola en Suzanne? Laat het ons weten op Instagram, Twitter en Facebook en gebruik #RadioSavannah. Voor (lees)tips en fanmail zijn we ook te bereiken op info@savannahbay.nl. Boeken van de maand In 1893 maakt New York deel uit van de Vrije Staten, waar mensen ogenschijnlijk mogen liefhebben wie ze willen. David verzet zich tegen de door zijn rijke familie gearrangeerde verloving met een geschikte kandidaat; hij voelt zich meer aangetrokken tot een charismatische maar arme muziekleraar. In het door de aidsepidemie geteisterde Manhattan van 1993 woont de jonge Hawaïaanse David samen met zijn veel oudere, rijkere partner, voor wie hij zijn moeilijke jeugd en het lot van zijn vader verzwijgt. In 2093 probeert Charlie zich staande te houden in het totalitaire New York zonder de bescherming van haar grootvader, een gerenommeerd wetenschapper. Ze ontmoet David, die zegt haar te kunnen redden - maar kan zij hem vertrouwen? Deze drie delen vormen samen een weergaloos epos over familie, verlies en de zoektocht naar liefde. Wat niet alleen de personages, maar ook de verschillende versies van Amerika met elkaar verbindt, is de worsteling met de eigenschappen die ons menselijk maken: angst, liefde, schaamte, afhankelijkheid, eenzaamheid en bovenal het pijnlijke verlangen om degenen van wie we houden te beschermen. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Wanneer we een naaste kwijtraken, wanneer we geconfronteerd worden met verlies, wanneer er sprake is van een ramp – oorlog, hongersnood, pandemie – gaan we op zoek naar troost. Ooit boden priesters en filosofen ons de woorden waarin we hoop en verlichting vonden, maar tegenwoordig lijkt die taal te verdwijnen uit ons vocabulaire, of is hij versleten. De plekken waar hij te vinden was – de kerken, tempels en moskeeën – raken leger. Sinds de zestiende eeuw zoekt de westerse wereld zijn verlichting steeds minder in historische religieuze teksten, en steeds meer bij wetenschap, ideologie en therapie. Wat doe je als je denkt: help, hoe kan ik verder? Waarom komen we vaak niet verder dan clichés om onszelf en elkaar op te beuren? Met die vragen in het achterhoofd ging schrijver en historicus Michael Ignatieff op zoek naar zielsverwanten. Hij put uit het werk van schrijvers, beeldend kunstenaars en componisten – van Job en Psalmteksten tot Albert Camus, Anna Achmatova en Primo Levi – en laat zien waar zij de troost en de moed vandaan haalden om veerkrachtig te zijn in moeilijke periodes. Troost. Als licht in donkere tijden brengt de verhalen van deze moedige kunstenaars naar het nu. Het resultaat is een doortastende en menselijke mix van onderzoek en persoonlijke overdenkingen. Michael Ignatieff laat ons op levendige wijze zien dat we onze traditie van hoop kunnen laten herleven om angst en onzekerheid het hoofd te bieden in de wisselvallige en precaire eenentwintigste eeuw. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Nieuw op het boekenplankje Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyreerupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work “of great genius.” Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontë's masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world's most beloved novels. Vind het boek hier in de wesbhop.

I was 24 and Phil was 60 and he was a most unusual man. Articulate but quiet, passionate but calm, and possibly the world's greatest listener.By the age of 60, Phil had traveled to more than 40 countries, published stories, articles, and poems in more than 50 magazines, and assembled a personal library of books that overflowed the small rooms of his modest home. It occurs to me as I write this that books are what all my friends seem to have in common. Phil and I traded stories for only 3 years before Pennie and I moved away, but we corresponded once a month until that fateful day in 2019 when he left this world to move in with a friend. He was 97 years old. Phil always wore a tie. He didn't have many, but each of them was special to him. He gave his wife, Barbara, careful instructions before he died regarding which tie he wanted each of his friends to have. The tie I received is covered with books on bookshelves. It hangs over the draperies in my study at home. When Barbara passed away in 2020, I received a phone call from their grandson, Cooper, informing me that Phil had left me his library. Phil's library was as eclectic as he was:The Autobiography of A.A. Milne, (author of Winnie the Pooh) The Life of Abraham Lincoln, by Tarbell Literature and Western Man, by J.B. Priestly Understanding Types, Shadows, and Names. A 2-volume set. The Gospel of Moses, by Samuel J. Schultz Hawksbill Station, by Robert Silverberg The Little Minister, by J.M. Barrie (the author of Peter Pan) The Shepherd of the Hills and When a Man's a Man, by Harold Bell Wright And Behold The Camels Were Coming, by Edward Cuyler Kurtz And then we have Jules Verne, Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Zane Grey, Louisa May Alcott, Theodore Roosevelt, and the complete works of James Whitcomb Riley and William Makepeace Thackeray. And because Phil was a pastor and a Bible scholar, we haveA fat 4-volume set of Word Studies in the Greek New Testament, A Lawyer Examines the Bible, The Treasury of David, The Old Testament and the Fine Arts, by Cynthia Maus Christ and the Fine Arts, by Cynthia Maus and a few dozen books about the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, along with a couple of hundred Biblical commentaries and Expositions of Holy Scripture. And then there is the gorgeous 27-volume set featuring the paintings of all the greatest artists of the last 600 years. Pennie and I bought a new trailer to send with Joe Davis when he went to pick up the books 500 miles away. That trailer is 17 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide, has a 9-foot ceiling, and is rated to carry 3 1/2 tons. Joe drove home slowly because the trailer was overloaded. You will notice a couple of new things in the Welcome Center upon your next arrival at Wizard Academy. The first of these will be the smell of delicious food. Pennie is pursuing a coffee cafe license so that people can have something to eat while they sit with a book or a computer or a friend and a glass of wine and forget about their cares for awhile. The second thing you'll notice will be the thousands of books adorning the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves with rolling ladders in the James Phillip Johnson reading room. And on the wooden header where those rolling ladders roll, you'll read the last words Phil ever spoke to me: “You acquire an education by study, hard work and persistence. But you absorb culture by viewing great art, listening to great music and reading great books.” I scribbled those words on a scrap of paper so that I could add them to the Random Quotes database when I got home. I had no idea that I would never hear Phil's voice again. Roy H. Williams

“I am alone in the world,” said the friendless girl. “I have nothing to look for but what my own labour can bring me; and while that little pink-faced chit Amelia, with not half my sense, has ten thousand pounds and an establishment secure, poor Rebecca (and my figure is far better than hers) has only herself and her own wits to trust to. Well, let us see if my wits cannot provide me with an honourable maintenance, and if some day or the other I cannot show Miss Amelia my real superiority over her. Not that I dislike poor Amelia: who can dislike such a harmless, good-natured creature?—only it will be a fine day when I can take my place above her in the world, as why, indeed, should I not?”William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair is a massive novel that follows the lives of two women: Amelia Sedley, who is naive and sweet and devoted, and Becky Sharp, who is cunning and manipulative and beautiful. But novel's subtitle is “A Novel without a Hero”, and Thackeray doesn't paint either woman as entirely good or entirely evil. And as their fortunes rise and fall, they offer a glimpse into the mercurial, ambitious, and often cruel world of Vanity Fair, in which everyone scrambles for money, power, and status, and for what? It's a world that the narrator lampoons mercilessly while also participating in fully, and Chris and Suzanne start to unpack it—and talk about whether they're #TeamBecky or #TeamAmelia.

This week I spoke with Payton Cosell Turner and Eliza Wexelman, the rad women behind Girls At Library, the gorgeous and smart online journal dedicated to women who love literature. We debated the merits of print versus e-book, running a bicoastal business, and the importance of constantly re-educating yourself. "I feel like there are people similar to us who are interested in reading but also interested in visuals and creativity and I think just trying to create a place for other women or other readers who wanted to have a resource. It's all the things we wanted in a website."
