![]() “If a society forgets that theater is absolutely necessary, it is dead,” he said. ![]() The unnamed, albeit easily recognizable, director of the theater later defended the rule breach onscreen. The socially distanced audience was described as “regulars of the venue,” and an unmasked man told a journalist from the show that he was attending to protest the “gradual erosion of the freedom to live.” Last weekend, for example, a “clandestine” performance of Shakespeare’s “King Lear” was held at a Paris theater - although the cameras of a popular talk show, “C à vous,” were there, too. Unofficially, there are still shows going ahead, behind closed doors. Officially, theaters here are shut, because of a new wave of coronavirus infections. ![]() PARIS - Call it the French spirit of resistance - or contrariness. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I’m allergic to heat, despite living in one of the hottest parts of Australia! It’s a bit of a nightmare in summer time! ![]() Now tell us something about yourself that someone would be surprised about, grin. My hubby and I would like to take a year off and travel around Australia with the kids, and that’s something we’re trying to make happen! That’s the beauty of writing, you can do it anywhere! I’m a writer from Perth, Australia! I have twin boys, who would prefer I write about zombies, rather than romance, and I have an antisocial cat named Blackie. Her latest book, Secrets at the Maple Syrup Farm is being released this April and later this year the sequel to The Bookshop on the Corner, Christmas at the Bookshop on the Corner. Rebecca is the beloved creator of the popular Gingerbread café series including The Bookshop on the Corner, Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe, Chocolate Dreams at the Gingerbread Café, Christmas Wedding at the Gingerbread Café. ![]() She’s one of those amazing authors who really draws you into her remarkable world. I’m so thrilled to be featuring bestselling author, Rebecca Raisin on the blog today. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ed Miliband unashamedly told people he hadn't got beyond the first chapter – and kept on saying that for several weeks. Indeed for some, not having read it was a badge of pride. ![]() Say what you like about the theory, the argument went, you had to thank him for the numbers.Īt this point you didn't need to read it to have an opinion about it. But at first even they heaped praise on Thomas Piketty for casting fresh light on inequality – an area where the official statistics are notoriously weak. Writing a bestselling economics book is usually a good way to make other economists hate you. This was the "Piketty as rockstar" phase, when the book was an "improbable hit" and people wrote breathless articles about the modern successor to Marx who could crunch the numbers but also quote Balzac, The Simpsons and The West Wing. We hadn't had anything like that in ages. At first it was important because it was a big book on a big subject: a book of grand ambition about inequality, written not by the latest "thinker" but a respected academic economist with real numbers to go with his theory. ![]() But the reasons for its importance have changed in the months since it was published. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Conrad added the part where Gardner put his life savings into buying the portable bone-density scanners. It is true that Gardner used to sell medical supplies, but it was not limited to just scanners, as is shown in the film. ![]() One of the biggest differences between reality and the film is Gardner’s job before joining the training program. However, the scriptwriter, Steven Conrad, has taken some creative liberties as far Gardner’s life is concerned. The film revolves around the difficult period in the real Chris Gardner’s life as he spent it in uncertainty, not knowing where the next meal would come from or where he and his son would stay the night. Yes, ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ is based on a true story. Is The Pursuit of Happyness a True Story? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Intrigued by the arresting stranger’s powerful emotional connection to Austen, Adam checks out a copy of P&P from the lending library and is quickly immersed in the story. Miss Harrison enthusiastically shares her love of reading Austen and presses Adam to start right away with Pride and Prejudice. He directs her to the cottage, telling her that he’s never read Austen and doesn’t understand “how a bunch of books about girls looking for husbands” (6) could qualify as great literature. The story opens in the village of Chawton in 1932, when a young and attractive American tourist, Mary Anne Harrison, asks a local farmer, Adam Berwick, for help locating Jane Austen’s house. When I learned that Natalie Jenner’s debut novel, The Jane Austen Society, was set largely in a rural English village in the years immediately following World War II, I hoped it would provide a welcome respite from current personal and collective anxieties. These books are set in a time and place distant enough from my own to divert, but still recognizable and familiar. While each person has their own ideas about what qualifies as comfort, I especially enjoy books by authors such as Miss Read (Dora Saint) and D.E. My go-to choice in times of uncertainty is a comfort read. ![]() ![]() Romantic Times* Beautiful and moving.The mythology surrounding the wolf pack is clever and so well written that it seems perfectly normal for the creatures to exist in today's world. ![]() But will it be enough?
