Interesting Bromance Between Cervantes And His Character, Don Quixote Cervantes employed a method that flies by over the activities of the characters, slowing down only to pick up important scenes and speeding through again, or completely leaving out unimportant conversations and events. However, the reader discovers that it’s quite the opposite. Miguel de Cervantes was pacey brilliant with his beginning of ‘ Don Quixote‘, and frankly, this feels unexpected considering that books of such large size tend to start off typically with a drag. It doesn’t matter whether you are just reading it for the first time or doing so for the tenth time, there is always a fresh, interesting angle to it that you might have maybe ignored or left unsavory on your previous trials, and it gets even better when the reader gets their hands on a transcribed edition to your local language. Generally, the book is a complete joy to read. ![]() Originally rendered in the Spanish language, the book immediately met an instant success and for this reason, it was transcribed into several other languages and dialects across geographies, with its English versions coming in by 16 for the two parts respectively, enabling people of all cultures to enjoy the artful creation in their own local languages and voices. ![]() ![]() ![]() This reading group guide for Do No Harm includes an introduction, discussion questions, and ideas for enhancing your book club. ![]() ![]() Will the truth catch up to her before she can save Josh?Ī timely and moving exploration of a town gripped by the opioid epidemic, and featuring Christina McDonald’s signature “complex, emotionally intense” ( Publishers Weekly) prose, Do No Harm examines whether the ends ever justify the means.even for a desperate mother.

For me, navigating Morrison’s fictional worlds-awash with smells, colors, textures, flowers, and foliage-is much like traveling to a new city or country where my own feeling of foreignness is palpable. My specific attraction to her forewords, I suspect, emanates from the contrast they draw with her novels, which construct imaginative universes so whole and total in their details, signs, and inhabitants that I frequently find them overwhelming. Recently, in preparing to visit an exhibition of Toni Morrison’s process papers, “Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory,” on view at Princeton University Library, I became fascinated with Morrison’s forewords to her novels-succinct yet highly technical exegeses of her creative muses, opening sentences, archival practices, and historical and psychological preoccupations. HOWEVER UNLIKELY a place to begin one’s critical investigations, I have always read the forewords of novels eagerly, with a hope that the writer will let slip crucial details about their sources of inspiration and creative process. ![]() ![]() ![]() Good Will Hunting (1997) This drama about a young genius who works as a janitor at MIT can teach us about the value of education and the transformative power of mentorship.It teaches us about the power of perseverance and the importance of diversity in science and technology.
