DO NOT SURRENDER CONTROL.'Mindwalker is a cinematic gut punch of action and espionage. ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ is a fast paced story, a definite page-turner. This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma re-cast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.Īnil Dharker, noted media personality, journalist and author: Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero.Īnd does he want to the that hero at all?ĭrawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil? The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction.

In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The story of the man, whom legend turned into a God.ġ900 BC. It has repeatedly been criticized that Arthur Miller makes use of fuzzy logic in his play. In consequence, one difficulty of my investigation will be to take into account also the play’s subtleties in order to value each critic’s standpoint properly. It seems to be a characteristic of Death of a Salesman that many reasons can be named for its catastrophic ending – its discussion has been very controversial. As I am not the first to engage in this matter, I will be able to present the viewpoints of different critics, and to compare them. Instead, I will try to collect hints at who or what might be responsible for Willy Loman’s death. In this paper, I will not focus on a possible moral message of the play. For how one answers it decides what kind of message one distils from the play. What are the forces that pushed him towards this somber end? The fact that Arthur Miller pursues genuine moral education in his plays, which he has repeatedly admitted to (for example in “The Salesman Has a Birthday”) justifies this question. Willy Loman is a suicide.Īnd yet every viewer of the play will ask himself who or what killed this man. He wrecks his car and kills himself to leave his family 20,000 dollars insurance money. When Willy Loman is heard racing off with his car at the end of Arthur Millers play Death of a Salesman, nobody doubts why he is doing so. Jekyll but also his body is grotesque and deformed. Not only is his psyche different from Dr. In the course of his experiments, he succeeds in producing a concoction that enables him to free this evil in him from the control of his good self, thus giving rise to Edward Hyde. Jekyll covertly provides utterance to the evil in his soul by various unspeakable acts, but is afraid of doing so openly because of the fear of social criticism. Henry Jekyll who is widely respected, successful, and possesses a brilliant intellect but is only too aware of the duplicity of the life that he leads, and of the evil that resides within him. Interestingly enough, Stevenson later claimed that the plot of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Successful and famous, he died at a young age in 1894. He is well known for his dark and sinister tales like Markheim, Thrawn Janet, and racy adventure novels such as Treasure Island and Kidnapped. He was chronically afflicted with tuberculosis, and dabbled with various psychotropic drugs such as alcohol, cannabis, and opium. Born in 1850, he was a qualified advocate but earned his living as a writer. Robert Balfour Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, short story writer, and poet. Only in the last 40 years have we learned that's NOT the way it is. Most of the American population accepted that that's "the way it is". Al Jolson made a career of blackface and never regretted it for a minute. I'm sure that before he died Bing too winced a little bit at that number, but taken in the context of history it was to be expected. The State would have made it for you and "you Will like it"! As the "black face" routine was showing I turned to my family and said that I was sure that despite the "classic" status of this film there were probably a lot of people wincing as they watched Bing Crosby with burnt cork all over him. Without them we would be yelling "Seig Heil" today and would not have the right to critique a simple movie. It was a time of danger, not necessarily from within society itself (as now when crime makes streets unsafe) but from the outside with dictators killing millions while they battle for world domination. The innocence was that of the children and the general public who could take a "standard Hollywood plot" at face value.

This is a novel, like Octavia Butler's Kindred, that reminds its readers that as long as people don't acknowledge how much of the past still shapes the present, it will bring its whips, its hatchets, and fists to make us learn." - Megan Giddings, author of LakewoodĪ haunting novel about a black woman who returns to her hometown for a plantation wedding and the horror that ensues as she reconnects with the blood-soaked history of the land and the best friends she left behind.
