![]() He had a boyish face, light brown hair, and alert, clever eyes, a combination that roused many a tender feeling among women. Our hero Mevlut was tall, of strong yet delicate build, and good-looking. But every evening, without fail, he would wander the streets of Istanbul, selling boza and dreaming strange dreams. When he was twenty-five, he returned to the province of his birth, where he eloped with a village girl, a rather strange affair that determined the rest of his days: returning with her to Istanbul, he got married and had two daughters he took a number of jobs without pause, selling his yogurt, ice cream, and rice in the street and waiting tables. Born in 1957 on the western edge of Asia, in a poor village overlooking a hazy lake in Central Anatolia, he came to Istanbul at the age of twelve, living there, in the capital of the world, for the rest of his life. THIS IS the story of the life and daydreams of Mevlut Karataş, a seller of boza and yogurt. ![]()

The book is a series of internal monologues and reflections spoken by an unnamed narrator. Perhaps it is because the book succeeds on so many levels that it has been so widely read and admired. ![]() The book is frequently described as a collection of essays, but Dillard insists that the work is an integrated whole. Annie Dillard, the author, resists these labels, preferring to think of the book as a theological treatise. The winner of the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction, it is often read as an example of American nature writing or as a meditation. ![]() Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, published in 1974, is a nonfiction work that defies categorization. ![]() ![]() ![]() The authorship of all these letters has been contested repeatedly, with the last-mentioned collection being the center of a present firestorm. The popularity of the "personal" letters has generated considerable fanfare for the publication of another set of correspondence printed under the title The Lost Love Letters of Heloise and Abelard. They hold fascination for the light they shed on the relationship between the man and woman, as teacher and student, lovers, husband and wife, monk and nun, abbot and mother superior, and much more. These "personal" letters form the basis for bestselling compilations of works by Abelard and Heloise in translation, such as the recently revised Penguin The Letters of Abelard and Heloise or the new Hackett Abelard and Heloise, The Letters and Other Writings. ![]() The legend relates in part to the letters exchanged between the two, years after Abelard had been castrated at the behest of Heloise's vindictive uncle, Fulbert. "The romantic tale of Peter Abelard and Heloise has been widely known for centuries. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once she’s completed work on Halle Berry drama Things We Lost In The Fire, she’ll head over here to England to shoot on location. Her case of slow-acting heartbreak leads her to the arms of a young, dashing politician (think David Cameron… actually, don’t) who sweeps her off her feet but also ignites a spat with her husband and pitches them both into a huge scandal.īier and her writing partner, Anders Thomas Jensen are busily crafting a new draft of the script originally adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher. Amanda Foreman is a Visiting Research Fellow at Queen Mary, University of London.She won the Whitbread Prize for Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire, which was adapted for the screen as The Duchess. Georgina follows a gorgeous yet depressed socialite (think Paris Hilton, but with brains and emotions) who is slowly suffocating in a loveless marriage that features not only her husband but also his live-in mistress. Susanne Bier is no stranger to troubled marriages and unhappy relationships – her Dogme outing Open Hearts focused on people finding love in unexpected (and socially awkward) places – so she seems the perfect person to direct an adaptation of Amanda Foreman’s novel Georgina, Duchess Of Devonshire. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Similar studies were repeated in 19, all with the same sobering findings – and they are likely to underestimate the scale of the problem, since according to the august authors of Noise,“real-life judges are exposed to far more information than what the study participants received in the carefully specified vignettes of these experiments”. Depending on the luck of the judge lottery, the same heroin dealer was sentenced to anything between one and 10 years, a bank robber received sentences ranging between five and 18 years, while an extortionist faced anything between three years with no fine at all to 20 years plus a $65,000 fine. And the sentences didn’t just slightly differ by judge: they varied wildly. A 1974 study of 50 judges setting sentences for identical (hypothetical) cases found that “absence of consensus was the norm”. How hungry or tired a judge is should have no impact on their ruling, and yet the data says it does.īut what about the judge who is assigned your case in the first place? That shouldn’t matter either but, yet again, the data says it very much does. Those who fared worst were heard at the end of the day or just before lunch, when there was about a zero chance of receiving a favourable ruling. If you are up on your behavioural economics you will be hoping to have your case heard either early in the day or just after a scheduled break such as lunch: a 2011 study of more than 1,000 rulings by eight judges found that those times coincided with the greatest leniency in judges’ rulings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Honestly, all the baby girl talk drove me nuts.

Georgie is fun & definitely immature & finding her way. I will say I thoroughly enjoy the moniker of Two Bats for the male lead. Love that the audio makes it even sexier. Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey is a baseball-themed romance with lots of open door sex & lots of steam. This is my first Tessa Bailey! There is a lot to enjoy about this book.
