![]() ![]() At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics. ![]() A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. ![]() Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a book that galvanized-and sometimes outraged-millions of readers.įirst published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads-driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both Julies use the term "got" as a sort of code for "stealing". into the life of shoplifting and fashion. The book features the life of a high school girl named Julie Prodsky who becomes best friends with Julie Braverman. "Klepto" by Jenny Pollack was one of my favorite books in high school and continues to be one of my favorite YA novels. Read it, watch "Footloose" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", and get lost in the tacky self-obsession that was the 80's. ![]() I sort of enjoyed it, despite it's vapid characterizations, unnecessarily planted swear-words, detailed descriptions of shop-lifting techniques and endlessly exhausting references to 1980's teen culture with no real explanation of those references to make them relatable or understandable for a 2000's teen. ![]() There's a certain nostaligic kitschy-ness that makes it hard to put down, but like eating too much of something that isn't good for you but still tastes great, it starts to give you a stomach ache. Did you own a leotard and legwarmers in the 80's even though you weren't a dancer? Did you wear scrunchies and headbands in your hair, own an Esprit outfit, sport a Swatch watch and totally totally love watching "Fame" on tv? If the answer is yes and some part of you longs for a book that will take you straight into the heart of the 80's fashion obsession, this book might be for you. ![]() ![]() ![]() "This vivid.thoughtful and empathetic" novel ( The New York Times Book Review) illuminates a world turned upside down, one where the women are in charge and the men take care of the children.

Though this strategy has not proved to be always right. That’s why a lot of organizations look for new leaders when things go wrong. However, if a team is performing poorly it does start with looking at the leader. ![]() This is debatable because even in sports we see that a captain is only as good as the team.

Publisher: Icon Books ISBN: 9781785781162 Number of pages: 304 Weight: 585 g Dimensions: 240 x 162 x 31 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Uncovering a radical, spirited and political engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects - feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution - at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason. Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. We just don't read her properly - we haven't been reading her properly for 200 years. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. Her novels don't confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers' enjoyment. 'A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.' Caroline Criado-Perez, GuardianĪlmost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even the times when it was difficult, she asked the questions that needed to be answered.

It starts with buried secrets and dangerous desires…and ends with the three of us bound together with a hateful love sharper than any barbed wire. It starts with the President sending his best friend to woo me on his behalf, and it ends with my heart split in two. It starts with a stolen kiss under an English sky, and it ends with a walk down the aisle. ![]() ![]() ![]() “On the whole I’d rather be in Philadelphia,” famously quipped that ungrateful native son, W.C.

Philadelphia was never a favorite city for Americans. ![]() Despite these attributes, Philadelphia occupies a curious position in the national consciousness.

It is in one of the most populous-and prosperous-metropolitan areas in the United States. ![]() Philadelphia is the fifth-largest city in the country.
