  • OPUNTIA Books About the Spread of the Human Race Through the Galaxy, Done As Spenglerian History
    LET ALL THE NUMBER OF THE STARS GIVE LIGHT by Dale Speirs CITIES IN FLIGHT (1970, hardcover) by James Blish is a omnibus of four OPUNTIA books about the spread of the human race through the galaxy, done as Spenglerian history. The books were written in various lengths between 1950 and 1962, some of which are fix-ups of short stories, and others rearranged for the 1970 omnibus edition, which is the text I review here.. Canada Day 2014 279 I read the series once in the early 1970s as a teenager in rural Red Deer, a second time in the 1980s as a yuppie in Calgary, and for the third and final time as I thin out my library. It made quite an impression on teenaged Dale, now a stranger to me, living as he did in a rural area where nothing ever happened, and Opuntia is published by Dale Speirs, Calgary, Alberta. Since you are reading where all of the kids couldn’t wait until they could escape to the big city. Fifty this only online, my real-mail address doesn’t matter. My eek-mail address (as years later, having spent the majority of my life as a suburban homeowner, my the late Harry Warner Jr liked to call it) is: [email protected] view of the series is not and cannot be the same. When sending me an emailed letter of comment, please include your name and town in the message. Conjures The Wandering Stars. The first book in the omnibus is THEY SHALL HAVE STARS.

  • Kaikki Nero Wolfe -Tapaukset
    Kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset From http://www.kopteri.net/koti/kilahti/nero.html Kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset Taulukossa on lueteltuna julkaisujärjestyksessä kaikki Nero Wolfe -tapaukset. Julkaisujärjestyksestä ja - vuosista löytyi ristiriitaista tietoa, joten niihin voi suhtautua varauksella. Koska taulukossa on niin monta saraketta, se hieman sekava. Siksi tein erilliset taulukot Englanninkielisistä kirjoista ja Suomennetuista kirjoista. Näissä taulukoissa on novellikokoelmat mukana normaaleina kirjoina. Osa tarinoista on n. 60 sivuisia "pienoisromaaneja", jotka on alunperin julkaistu esim. sanomalehdissä. Nämä jutut on julkaistu myöhemmin 2-4 juttua sisältävinä kirjoina, joiden nimet ovat taulukon neljännessä sarakkeessa "Kokoelmassa". Täysimittaisten kirjojen kohdalla tämä sarake on tyhjä. Samoin suomennettujen kirjojen sarake on tyhjä, jos kirjaa ei ole suomennettu Kahdesta tarinasta on kaksi toisistaan poikkeavaa versiota. "Assault in Browstone" ja "Counterfreit for murder" ovat osittain sama tarina. Myös "Murder is no joke" ja "Frame-up for murder" ovat osittain sama tarina. Osa tarinoista on julkaistu eri nimilllä esim. Saturday Evening postissa ja pienoisromaanien kokoelmissa. Lisää sotkua tuo se, että osa täysimittaisista kirjoista on julkaistu englanniksi usealla eri nimellä, ja myös niistä on tehty muutaman kirjan "paketteja".

    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series:Linguistics and Literature Vol. 13, No1, 2015, pp. 29- 41 TOWARDS MONTENEGRO: A LAND OF GIANTS AND PANTHERS UDC 821-992(497.16) Marija Krivokapić1, Neil Diamond2 1University of Montenegro, Montenegro,2 International University of Novi Pazar, Serbia Abstract. This paper problematizes the caricatural presence of Montenegro on the symbolic map of travellers from the contemporary Anglophone world. To depict the contours of this paradoxical presence, we propose a brief look at the romantic image of the country developed in the last two centuries. Then we provide a chronological overview and stress details from the most recent depictions to conclude that the image of the place has almost stayed frozen till the present day. While avoiding politicizing, essentializing, and self-stigmatization, we conclude that the absence of the country as a real historical, socio-political, and cultural complexity has been conditioned by its long and manifold isolation. We provide examples from travel writing, tourist and media representations, fiction, and film. Our analysis relies mostly on authorities on the travel-writing genre. Key words: Montenegro, history, travel writing, fiction, tourism. THE OLD MONTENEGRO Until it was declared a kingdom in 1910 Montenegro was an isolated space surrounded by the hostile Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires. It was only the rare politicians and scientists, but usually actually spies, who visited it. As we learn from Branko Momčilović, the first reports about Montenegro appeared in the eighteenth century, two published in The Annual Register (1767-1768) focusing on Šćepan Mali, the imposter king, and one by Eyles Irwin (1788) who claimed that ―the Natives of Montagna Negro‖ are of Greek origin (1990: 10-11).
