http://celebritysavvy.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. A Man of His Word: Roger Federer. Under the leadership of Switzerlands tennis player number one Stanislas Wawrinka (that takes time to sink in) and with Roger Federer, the Swiss Davis Cup Team won against Serbia to qualify for the quarter finals against Kazakhstan. This will be played in Switzerland and Roger Federer will be part of the team. It shows a marked change to his earlier absences from the team. Links zu diesem Post. JR Books...

All Books Savvy: George Eliot
http://allbookssavvy.blogspot.com/2014/02/george-eliot.html
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. In 1854, Miss Marian Evans set sail for the continent accompanied by a gentleman by name of George Henry Lewes. He was a fellow journalist of Marian Evans', not related to her, and already married to another woman. Scandal broke immediately. It was an inauspicious start to what would become a literary power couple. Brenda Maddox’ book ‘George Eliot’ was published by Harper Press. While there are more than enough plodding, boring biographie...The result is a sho...

All Books Savvy: The Little Prince
http://allbookssavvy.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-little-prince.html
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. Lovers ask no questions it is said, and readers are book lovers. Nonetheless: What keeps this little book alive over generations? What makes it so precious? Maybe it is the moment of first reading it. The easy language resonates with readers long after they laid down the book. And with the second dedication ‘to the small child that this grown-up once was’, we are able to enter the poetic landscape and childlike emotion that keep the Little Prince al...In 1783, ...

All Books Savvy: Through The Language Glass
http://allbookssavvy.blogspot.com/2013/11/through-language-glass.html
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. Through The Language Glass. Linguistics is a science that is at best a bit murky; it can become a quagmire, too. The language barriers I mention in the title refer to the barriers put up by linguists on their own understanding of languages. A new book tries to get rid of a few 19th century hold-overs embedded in our minds. Taking a Dig at The French. High Literature: Being Politically Incorrect. Through The Language Glass.

All Books Savvy: Quantum of Solace: The Complete Short Stories
http://allbookssavvy.blogspot.com/2011/01/quantum-of-solace-complete-short.html
To buy or not to buy, that is the question. Quantum of Solace: The Complete Short Stories. Penguin Classics published Quantum of Solace: The Complete Short Stories by Ian Fleming. Does the book have any connection with the movie? And how did Fleming come by this odd title? The most intriguing thing about the last James Bond 007 movie Quantum of Solace was its title. What does it really mean? How does this impact on the movie? It doesn’t, not at all. Movie and short story share absolutely no con...I don&#...

Celebrity Savvy: Arthur Miller: Biography Dilemma
http://celebritysavvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/arthur-miller-biography-of.html
Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. Arthur Miller: Biography Dilemma. Paul Newman and Arthur Miller. Christopher Bigsby's decision to end the first part of the biography in 1962 lets him off at least one major hook: To defend the play After The Fall of 1964, where Arthur Miller tried to cash in on Marilyn Monroe’s suicide. What about the son with Down’s syndrome who was shunted off to an institution and then forgotten? Wives and children played second fiddle to Arthur Mi...

Celebrity Savvy: January 2014
http://celebritysavvy.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. Rudolf Steiner’s Approach to Financial Politics. Rudolf Steiner was the founder of the Anthroposophical Society. He died in 1925. He left us, incongruously for a ‘religious leader’ of a sect or cult, an interesting treatise on monetary politics. Written years before the Great Depression, it shows an eerie actuality in view of the present crisis. Links zu diesem Post. Stanislas Wawrinka Starts 2014 With Chennai Win. Links zu diesem Post.

Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. Prime Minister Well Cooked. Johan de Witt was Grand Pensionary of Holland, an office with powers similar to that of a Prime Minister cum Foreign Secretary all rolled into one. He led the country during the first stadtholder-less time from 1650 to 1672 when Republicans saw their chance to get more power for themselves and their families at the expense of the hereditary House of Orange.

Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. George Eliot Born From Scandal and Gossip. At a time when open adultery was severely frowned upon, George Eliot was born. He was to become one of the most read, most mocked, and best earning writers of the 19th century. His birth was one of necessity induced by the most unforgiving force on earth: The English middle class. Links zu diesem Post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
