Kant composed many of the preparatory sketches for the Critique of Pure Reason in the blank interleaved pages of his personal copy. Originally published in Latin, Kant used the Metaphysics for nearly four decades as the basis for lectures on metaphysics, anthropology and religion. Yet his manual on metaphysics was one of the chief textbooks of philosophical instruction in latter 18th-Century Germany. ![]() ![]() Alexander Baumgarten (1714-1762), an influential German philosopher preceding Immanuel Kant, is remembered mainly as a founder of modern aesthetics. ![]()

However, critical response grew to the point where many now consider it among Malamud's best works. Published by New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1952., 1952 Seller: Wonder Book, Frederick, U.S.A. The novel received mixed reviews when it first appeared, due to its complex narrative structure. Ultimately, this flawed hero will learn too late of the consequences of blind ambition. As he attempts to reach that goal, his moral courage will be tested. The novel introduces Roy Hobbs, an initially innocent young man, who strives to be "the best there ever was in the game" of baseball. Malamud employs forces of good and evil to complicate the choices and consequences that face his protagonist. The novel's allegorical framework blends realism and fantasy in its exploration of the theme of moral responsibility. In his Dictionary of Literary Biography article on Bernard Malamud, Joel Salzberg notes that the author "holds a preeminence among Jewish-American writers that has consistently been reaffirmed by recent critical assessments." Malamud, however, began his career with his popular first novel, The Natural, influenced by his love of baseball and his fascination with stories of the mythological quest for the Holy Grail. THE fact that a book touches something deep in us is no guarantee that it will be a good book. ![]() ![]() ![]() So I picked up my Kindle, and started reading Pines, the first book in a sci-fi/fantasy/horror/mystery trilogy by Blake Crouch. Truly, I think I’ve read more descriptions of rainfall in 2015 than in any year prior. All coupled with detailed descriptions of the glorious weather the Irish are known for. I’ll go back to it soon, but I needed something a bit less heavy than the story of a forty-year-old woman coping with the death of her husband and having to raise their four children on her own. I got four percent of the way through it (another Kindle book), and decided I just couldn’t do it. I started Colm Tóibín’s lovely Nora Webster on Sunday, shortly after finishing The Temporary Gentleman and writing the bulk of my blog post about it. So apparently this is what happens when I try to read two contemporary Irish fiction novels written by authors who have been Booker Prize contenders in a row: I get so depressed that the only thing left to do is read the book that is currently number one on the Amazon best seller lists for sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural books. ![]() ![]() The only thing she knows to be true: Everyone lies.

My obsession first started with movies I watched every zombie movie I could get my hands on and there was never enough. From that day on I was obsessed with zombies. My brother may not have known it at the time (even though I like to think he did), but he had created his very own monster. As he hit ‘play’ on the remote for another time, I inched up even further to the television, allowing myself to be closer to the terror that I knew awaited me. I remember his reaction for a second he looked puzzled and then the biggest grin spread across his face. When the movie ended, my brother got up to retrieve the movie, but before he could, I turned to him and asked if we could watch it again. My brother put the disk in the player and the next ninety minutes were some of the most exciting, yet horrifying minutes of my life. I remember sitting on the floor right up front, so close I could not even take in the whole television at once. ![]() At the age of nine years old I saw my first zombie movie 1, and it is one of the most vivid memories I have from my childhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the process, the charming rogue with the grade school education created the most definitive archive of the American Indian. ![]() ![]() Eventually Curtis took more than 40,000 photographs, preserved 10,000 audio recordings, and is credited with making the first narrative documentary film.
