Stalingrad on the yangtze6/9/2023 It demonstrated how technology had given rise to new forms of warfare, or had made old forms even more lethal. In its sheer scale, the struggle for China's largest city was a sinister forewarning of what was in store for the rest of mankind only a few years hence, in theaters around the world. The Battle of Shanghai was a pivotal event that helped define and shape the modern world. Ultimately, it led to Pearl Harbor and to seven decades of tumultuous history in Asia. It turned what had been a Japanese adventure in China into a general war between the two oldest and proudest civilizations of the Far East. At its height it involved nearly a million Chinese and Japanese soldiers, while sucking in three million civilians as unwilling spectators and, often, victims. This deeply researched book describes one of the great forgotten battles of the 20th century. Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-302) and index.

American war el akkad6/9/2023 This narrator, who is only identified by the close of the novel, explains that they only knew Sarat later in her life, after her innocence was lost and she had played a major role in the South getting its revenge. Omar El Akkad’s American War begins with the narrator introducing us to six-year-old Sarat Chestnut, born amid this national chaos in the remains of Louisiana. With an urge to end the last remnants of resistance as quickly as possible, the North retaliates with equal hate and ferocity. Fracturing, the South becomes desperate, fueled by hatred. Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi form a core of secession, Texas becomes reabsorbed by Mexico, and South Carolina suffers as ground zero in the release of a plague engineered by the North, leaving the state quarantined. Yet, the issues are more complex beyond any single cause. While the issue of slavery drove the original Civil War, southern state refusal to accept a federal ban on fossil fuels stokes the fires of the second. Amid these changes, the Second American Civil War breaks out. Climate change has altered the coasts of the United States, wiping out much of Florida and Louisiana. It is approximately half a century in our future.

Deborah turbeville comme des garcons6/9/2023 She mixes Japanese culture and European culture very well. “It was a revolution, because the fashion was so different from what was in Paris at the time. This period was an important one for Deborah Turbeville. On May 4, The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will also open the retrospective exhibition Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garons: Art of the In-Between. “I’m completely free to do what I want,” he says. As a result, he creates indelible images that perfectly capture the moods of Kawakubo’s darkly romantic work his photography style often makes use of a blurred focus or hazy lighting to match the abstract spirit.Īs the brand’s go-to documentarian, Roversi has seen Kawakubo’s work transform and evolve, but he says a sense of innovation has always been present in her theatrical designs, which often seem more like art pieces than wearable garments. This exhibition presents Deborah Turbeville’s photographs from her Comme des Garons photo shoot for Italian VOGUE in 1981. “I started doing catalogs with Rei in the ’80s, and then every season I started with them,” Roversi says. After four decades, the famously elusive designer and the photographer have a true partnership. He first met designer Rei Kawakubo in Paris in the ’80s and has continued to photograph her artful collections over the years. Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi is one of Comme des Garçons’s closest collaborators.

Tessa bailey killer vacation6/9/2023 It was a lot for me to process, lol, but everything comes full circle by the end. He soon discovers that he has a possessive, jealous, domineering streak… and she loves everything about that. This commitment-phobic, rugged hero doesn’t know what hits him when he meets this unassuming schoolteacher who is just finding her strength. I loved the opposites attract dynamic, and the ZAP of electricity between these two was apparent from the start. So I’m rounding up! The second half read much, MUCH better for me, once I got a feel for the dynamic it’s 100% pure instalove and lust, with strangers who become lovers in the blink of an eye. I’m torn between 4 and 5 stars, but you know what? I devoured it in one sitting, was entertained the entire time, and I haven’t read a book that’s quite this steamy in awhile – plus that original, awful cover was swapped out before release day.

Brokeback mountain story6/8/2023 Hers is the frustration of the control freak diagnosing unfairness in any outcome not to her liking, be it a wrongly attributed trophy or an unfathomable response. Writing in this newspaper in 2006 shortly after the film failed to win the Best Picture Oscar, she referred to the winning movie, Crash, as “Trash”. It’s true that Proulx has been protective of Brokeback Mountain to the point of intemperance. And one of the reasons we keep the gates locked here is that a lot of men have decided that the story should have had a happy ending … So they rewrite the story … I can’t tell you how many of these things have been sent to me as though they’re expecting me to say, ‘Oh great, if only I’d had the sense to write it that way.’” I think it’s important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience, but unfortunately the audience that Brokeback reached most strongly have powerful fantasy lives. “It’s just been the cause of hassle and problems and irritation since the film came out … So many people have completely misunderstood the story. “I wish I’d never written the story,” Proulx told the Paris Review.
