Undeniably the two often entangled with each other, their successes in the literary and cinematic world have been paramount, and rightly so. It is admittedly hard to think of the novel The Shining without associating it with images of the iconic 1980 film counterpart. There is a rawness within the pages, as well as depth and complexity and an understanding of the characters that is impossible to be translated Despite having only read a small handful of his eclectic array of work, this novel was enough to firmly establish King as one of my favourite writers to date, and I can easily see why he is so renowned throughout the horror genre. ![]() If you’re looking for the perfect haunted house thriller, complete with meticulous characterisation, nerve-wracking suspense, and an anti-hero terrifying enough to make your skin crawl, then look no further than Stephen King’s The Shining. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Karigan's determination was no match for the Rider's call.

Van Montagu’s path of study and scientific experimentation culminated in a Ph.D. Later, as a student at Ghent University, he became intrigued with the new science of molecular biology, particularly the functions of DNA and RNA, which had recently been discovered to be present in all living organisms. His excellent teachers in high school triggered Van Montagu’s enthusiasm for organic chemistry and biology. Despite his family’s economic difficulties throughout the war and post-war period, they were able to send their only child to good primary and secondary schools. Born in 1933 in Ghent, Belgium, Marc Van Montagu grew up during the Second World War, a time when food rationing and general hardships were common among most of that country’s population. ![]() ![]() Hardy, like Sue, had some controversial ideas about the institution of marriage, which he uses Sue to voice throughout the novel. There is more to Sue than even Hardy quite expected-which is a good thing, right? Sue takes on a life of her own in the novel, beyond the strict intentions of her author. ![]() ![]() Hardy just wasn't intending to present Sue as the first representation in fiction of a feminist. In other words, it is not that Hardy disagrees with the German critic exactly. In response, here is what Hardy had to say: 'No doubt there can be more in a book than the author consciously puts there.' ( Hardy, "Preface to the First Edition") In Hardy's "Postscript" to the first novel of Jude the Obscure, he quotes a German critic describing Sue as the 'first delineation in fiction of the woman who was coming into notice in the thousands every year – the woman of the Feminist movement…the "bachelor' girl."' In other words, this German critic claims that Sue is the first representation of a new social type of woman becoming more and more common: the unmarried feminist. ![]() Sue Bridehead remains a pretty tough nut to crack: even her creator, Thomas Hardy himself questions what, exactly, her deal is. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dynamics in the house have shifted back to what they were a year ago, only she and her brother bicker less, these 10 months bringing growth for them both.’ “My heart is full hearing their laughter ricochet through the halls. “It is lovely to see her and her elementary school friends back together like a flock of sweet sparrows, coming in and out of one another’s houses in packs, then dispersing. ![]() She said in a newsletter note on Thursday (25.05.23) to fans: “Apple has returned from her freshman year at college, and I am so struck by how quickly this school year has passed. The ‘Sliding Doors’ Oscar-winner, 50, who has her 19-year-old girl and son Moses, 17, with her Coldplay frontman ex-husband Chris Martin, 46, admitted her fear over both her children leaving her $5 million home in Montecito, California, in January, and has now said Apple leaving has brought her and her brother closer. ![]() Gwyneth Paltrow is overjoyed her daughter Apple is back from college after the Goop founder confessed she felt “not very well” about the prospect of being left with an empty nest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A biography, then, promises to grant what so many historians and activists have longed for: a measure of intimacy with the man, a parsing of the myth to locate Moses on some relative human scale. Yet as he evades scrutiny, our curiosity or fascination increases, and by now Moses is nearly as mythical a figure as Martin Luther King, Jr. The problem with becoming an object of study or veneration is that others will defer to him and miss their own potential. For Moses, the best organizers are invisible rather than imposing their own views or personalities, they strive to encourage the emergence of new leaders. Introspective and learned - before joining the movement he studied philosophy at Harvard - Moses is also elusive, generally unwilling to share the particulars of his life. But a biography of Moses may be the most tantalizing of any. Many books have been published on the movement in recent years, as America observed the 50th anniversary of events like the March on Washington.
