The bone season book order5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() She seemed to get patched up a lot the world was so unforgiving. In Nashira’s brutal, secret society, Paige must survive, which she didn’t do very well. He is the blood-consort to Nashira, who is a leader hell-bent on acquiring rare clairvoyants in order to absorb their gifts. She’s kidnapped at the beginning of the book from her home in Scion London, then taken to a penal colony (Sheol I) via train and blindfold, and forced to work as a slave in this new society of the Rephaim. She’s defiant and stubborn, but also breakable and vulnerable, which is why I loved her. She’s probably the toughest character I’ve read about. The world (or, rather, underworld) of the clairvoyants was so interesting, especially seeing through Paige’s perspective. I was confused by the terms the characters used, but the glossary in the back of the book did help me out! Plus I just let the terminology wash over me as I read and eventually I picked it up. It took me so long to even grasp it, which is a testament to Samantha Shannon’s imagination. The scope of the world in The Bone Season is breathtaking. ![]() ![]() For Paige is a dreamwalker, a clairvoyant and, in the world of Scion, she commits treason simply by breathing.Ī full Goodreads synopsis can be found here. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people’s minds. Nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials, employed by a man named Jaxon Hall. ![]()

A Lover's Discourse by Roland Barthes5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The article thus thinks of Agamben’s notoriously pessimistic figure of the Homo-Sacer – the abandoned man – in a new light. This process, the article argues, involves the imagination, and as such is thought of with regard to political and poetic imagination. Following Barthes idea of an obscene and Agamben’s notions of profanation and exposure, the article argues that love should be thought of as an experience in passivity that happens in the encounter and touch of two separate singularities. ![]() The article opens with a critique of the discursive state of love today and its relation to politics and power. This article offers the literary and philosophical concept of “profane love”, following the juxtaposition of Giorgio Agamben’s concept of singular love and his political and poetic project of profanation, with the figurative and scattered notions of love found in Roland Barthes A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments. ![]()

Himalayan blunder by jp dalvi5/23/2023 ![]() I am sure most politicians, bureaucrats, military officers, students of military history and the intelligentsia have read Himalayan Blunder – but – if you have not read the book – or even of you have read it – it would be worthwhile to read the book carefully once again – to draw parallels between what happened in 1962 – and what is happening now – and learn lessons – so that similar mistakes are not repeated again – and we do not have another “Himalayan Blunder” in the making. That is why I feel that “Himalayan Blunder” is a “must read” for the “powers-that-be” – Political, Civil and Military. Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Is history going to repeat itself after 58 years.? ![]() “Are we heading for another Himalayan Blunder.?” ![]() Whenever I start reading Himalayan Blunder, leafing through the pages of the book, I am filled with a sense of déjà vu.Īnd as I read on further, drawing parallels between what was written in the book and the intriguing happenings of recent times, I wonder to myself: ![]() |
