![]() ![]() Underlying both the dissertation and the novels is a view of historical causality.Īs Erich Auerbach has remarked, “Basically, the way in which we view human life and society is the same whether we are concerned with things of the past or things of the present” a corollary of this may be that when a writer is, like MacLennan, both a historian and a novelist, his or her narratives of individual human lives will be shaped by larger forces that transcend the concerns of the psychological novelist. ![]() His doctoral dissertation, Oxyrhynchus, discussing the history of an area in Egypt during the seven hundred years that it was subject to the Roman Empire, foreshadowed such major themes in his novels as colonialism, the wanderer, the town-country antithesis, and geographical determinism.

Seems like a nice, fascinating assignment, right? Who would not want to work, study, and live with the living relatives of Man’s Best Friend? Despite my extreme dislike for cold weather, I personally would jump at this opportunity. Researchers on the island are studying the dynamics of wolf populations, and Pigeon’s chore is learn what she can in the event her home national park in Colorado is populated with wolves.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a narrative about the complexities of science and the duplicity of human nature. Stevenson delves into the darkest depths of humanity, and seems to discover what Sigmund Freud would not publish for another 15 years: the repression of the id, or the instinctive side of human nature, by the super-ego, or the part of us that holds on to the cultural ideals and rules we were raised with. In this Gothic novella, Robert Louis Stevenson combines the horrors of the human soul with a disgust for the Victorian importance of reputation. ![]() ![]() This Book Serves As A Lasting Homage To One Of America’s Greatest Humorists While Also Reminding Us Where The Family Started From And Celebrating The Broadway Musical’s Premiere In 2010 As The Family’s Presence Continues To Penetrate Successive Generations.

The meeting is a disaster, but out of mutual desperation, Amanda and Chase strike a deal. To revamp his image, Chase’s publicist comes up with a plan: surprise Amanda Grace with the chance to meet her hero, followed by a visit to the set of Chase’s new movie. Now he's sober and a Hollywood pariah, washed up at twenty-four. With it, came drugs, alcohol, arrests, and crazy spending sprees. Six years ago, Chase Henry defied astronomical odds, won a coveted role on a new TV show, and was elevated to super-stardom.
