![]() ![]() It is regarded by some as the first philosophy of education in Western culture to have a serious claim to completeness, as well as being one of the first Bildungsroman novels. ![]() Emile deals specifically with education, and outlines a system which would. Emile is scarcely a detailed parenting guide but it does contain some specific advice on raising children. Rousseau wrote about the difficulty of being a good individual within an inherently corrupting collectivity: society. He employs the novelistic device of Emile and his tutor to illustrate how such an ideal citizen might be educated. Rousseau seeks to describe a system of education that would enable the natural man he identifies in The Social Contract (1762) to survive corrupt society. During the French Revolution, Emile served as the inspiration for what became a new national system of education. Due to a section of the book entitled "Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar", Emile was banned in Paris and Geneva and was publicly burned in 1762, the year of its first publication. Jean-Jacques Rousseau considered it to be the "best and most important" of all his writings. Book Synopsis "Emile, or On Education" or "Émile, or Treatise on Education" is a treatise on the nature of education and on the nature of man.

The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige. ![]() ![]() I love how this author goes into so much detail on the emotional aspect of the relationship, there is so much more to the BDSM world than whips and handcuffs. ![]() ![]() As Jack is showing Morgan different elements, the reader is learning more as well. Morgan is being introduced to a new world she has only read or heard about and it has the stigma of being completely taboo. Things definitely develop to intense between these two when they are hiding out for safety in a small cabin off the grid… He doesn’t want her to die on his watch, no matter his motives for meeting her. When there is a threat to Morgan’s life right away, Jack springs into action to protect her.

I own all but one in paperback they are shamelessly displayed on my bookshelf. I loved this book and continued to read the whole series. ![]() ![]() The way things are explained, the thought process of the characters, the development, comical parts, the impending threat, all great ingredients for a suspenseful dramatic romance. This is the book to introduce anyone into the BDSM fantasy world that should’ve gone viral. ![]() ![]() Nowhere near the performance of George Guidall who read the first book in the series, The Gunslinger. What three words best describe Frank Muller’s performance? Roland and Eddie Dean seem to be a good match for one another ![]() If you could sum up The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three in three words, what would they be? I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to listen to The Wastelands to see how the journey continues. A real 'page' turner (if there is such a thing in an audio book), often engrossing and an incredible performance from Frank Muller. Other than the vivid presence that is the Gunslinger, it's peppered with excellently written characters all-round with scenes tackled from multiple angles and points of view in way that makes such writing seem easy, when it certainly is not. The beach, the doors, the lobstrocities (dad-a-chum?) are wonderfully realised. ![]() As i said, there's not much distance made toward the Tower here or what even awaits them there, but the adventures the Gunslinger goes on to 'draw the three' are full of peril, wonder, intrigue, tension, drama and all with a surprising amount of humor throughout. More of a series of character introductions with little real headway made toward the Tower, but the characters are amazing, as are the circumstances under which they're introduced and it's written and performed with skill. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like many of Hoffmann’s other tales the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred. It is a more realistic kind of fantasy in that the nocturnal events actually unfold in the same place that the children themselves inhabit. Almost fifty years before Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland it incorporates its original audience as characters within the story, but whereas Alice blends fantasy with parody and comedy the Nutcracker displays a less whimsical, perhaps more subtle sense of humour. ![]() 1Hoffmann’s Nußknacker und Mausekönig is an extraordinarily innovative and unusual piece of writing for children, way ahead of its time in its complete abandonment of didacticism and moral instruction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Promotional posts, comments & flairs, media-only posts, personalized recommendation requests incl.
