![]() ![]() Rilke fanatics will find some value in seeing Kappus’s side of the conversation, but the power of the book still lies in Rilke’s letters. ![]() For example, following Rilke’s third letter, on the value of solitude and the importance of attaining it, Kappus asks if “we are supposed to endure our solitude in love too” and “share with the other person only the one common element of each having this solitude.” Too often, however, Kappus’s replies are simply fawning, as when he praises Rilke’s words as possessing the “simple grandeur of the Gospels and the richness of fairy-tale kings.” Searls’s translation lacks the poetic tone of earlier editions, and the book’s structure is disappointing, placing all of Kappus’s letters together after Rilke’s, rather than arranging them chronologically. Some of them provide enriching context for Letters’ famous passages. ![]() In 2019, Rilke scholar Erich Unglaub discovered the letters that Franz Xaver Kappus, then an Austrian military cadet and aspiring poet, sent to Rilke between 19. ![]() Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet (1929) is given an expanded treatment including, for the first time, the letters from Rilke’s correspondent, with intermittently intriguing but underwhelming results. Rilke himself hardly assented to the isolation he felt during his schooling in military academies (‘when I was a boy among boys, I was alone among them’), nor did he welcome it when he moved to Paris to write about Rodin (‘how alone I was this time among these people, how perpetually disowned by all I met’). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” - SLJ, Starred review “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” - The Chicago Tribune Winner of the California Young Reader Medal Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Celebrating 15 years of Flipped-a classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. ![]() ![]() ![]() The series balances a fast-paced, quest-driven plot with character development and solid worldbuilding. An action-adventure fantasy YA story set in a Korean-inspired alternate universe? The moment I found out about it, I was like, “NEED.”Īnd Ellen Oh doesn’t fail to deliver. I am honestly so happy this trilogy exists because there aren’t any others like it that I know of. ![]() Slight spoilers regarding the romance plot! Beware! Although her priority is keeping her cousin safe for the future of the throne, she soon discovers that she has a great destiny of her own awaiting her. Kira, cousin and bodyguard to the heir to the throne, is gifted with special powers that allow her to sense demons. ![]() An ancient prophecy foretells the arrival of a hero, the Dragon Musado, who will unite the Seven Kingdoms and defeat the Demon Lord by collecting the three sacred treasures. My Summary: The kingdom of Hansong and its neighbors are under attack by Yamato forces and demon hordes, led by the Demon Lord himself. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the story of two people deeply in love, but torn apart by fate, an eye-opening introduction to the stigma of mental illness, and a personal run-in with the poor broken souls trapped in psychiatric care. This book is not, however, only about Ken. This gut wrenching story is leaving readers shocked at the author's treatment, and appalled by how quickly a medical situation fell through the cracks, sending the patient spiraling uncontrollably into medically induced madness. What should have been an ordinary surgical procedure changed that, propelling him into a high security psychiatric ward where psychiatrists branded him a danger to himself and others. Such was the experience of Ken Dickson, a beloved husband and father and respected engineer, with no history of mental illness. Despite access to the greatest healthcare in the world, U.S citizens are not immune to medical horror stories. ![]() |
