![]() ![]() The Nightmare simultaneously offers both the image of a dream-by indicating the effect of the nightmare on the woman-and a dream image-in symbolically portraying the sleeping vision. Contemporary critics were taken aback by the overt sexuality of the painting, since interpreted by some scholars as anticipating Jungian ideas about the unconscious. The incubus and horse's head refer to contemporary belief and folklore about nightmares, but have been ascribed more specific meanings by some theorists. ![]() The canvas seems to portray simultaneously a dreaming woman and the content of her nightmare. ![]() In response, Fuseli produced at least three other versions. The painting's dreamlike and haunting erotic evocation of infatuation and obsession was a huge popular success.Īfter its first exhibition, at the 1782 Royal Academy of London, critics and patrons reacted with horrified fascination and the work became widely popular, to the extent that it was parodied in political satire and an engraved version was widely distributed. It shows a woman in deep sleep with her arms thrown below her, and with a demonic and ape-like incubus crouched on her chest. The Nightmare is a 1781 oil painting by Swiss artist Henry Fuseli. ![]() For other uses, see Nightmare (disambiguation).ĭetroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan ![]() ![]() A 1911 encyclopedia entry on Freeman’s work stated: Notably, she also wrote supernatural and weird fiction - a stark departure from her regionally-flavored New England tales. A prolific writer of novels, short stories, children’s books, and poems, her work has been largely forgotten, though it’s widely available online, all of it being in the public domain. Though no longer widely read, her 1891 short story, “A New England Nun,” is widely anthologized and still studied.īorn in Randolph, Massachusetts, Freeman came from New England Puritan stock. ![]() Wilkins Freeman, was an American novelist and short story writer. ![]() Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman (1852 – 1930), more commonly known as Mary E. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was cast for A Hard Day's Night, where she met George Harrison.īoyd exhibited her photos of Harrison and Clapton, at the San Francisco Art Exchange on Valentine's Day, 2005, in a show entitled, Through the Eye of a Muse.

And there’re some weird typos, but anybody with a decent grasp of English will be able to translate! What I imagine are funny anecdotes that dot the pages of the paper book, have become bizarre out of place sentences that occasionally turn up in the middle of a chapter. ■ I bought the Kindle version, and the transition from paper to digital hasn’t exactly gone smoothly. “A third benefit is the ability to put up what’s called a “web page” that describes yourself, your interests, your company or other matters.” ■ …My absolute favourite quote of the whole book (from the 1997 Internet Update section at the back): ■ …Because of one major thing: The Internet… ![]() ![]() The first edition was released in 1992, and “the scene” has changed hugely since then… It goes over a lot of information BDSMers already know, (hence the 101), but I found it was written in a way that I enjoyed revisiting the basics. I can’t pinpoint it exactly, but for some reason I loved this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zapata presents no bodice ripping scenes unless you count the one love scene near the end, which could have been toned down for my taste. The romance develops slowly and quite naturally. Zapata paints a believable woman making difficult choices in a world that doesn’t always appreciate a good Samaritan. The book moves along and Diana is faced with one obstacle after another, each testing her maturity. Despite the rude treatment she receives, she knows in her heart that she has done the right thing. ![]() Instead of a thank you, she is met with insolence. Afraid that someone will get seriously hurt, she overcomes her own fear and dashes outside with a baseball bat to break up the fight, saving her neighbor’s life. Diana is doing her best to be an adult but hates getting involved in other people’s drama. Before she knows anyone living nearby, she’s awoken in the middle of the night by her five-year-old who’s heard people screaming outside. The story starts with Diana, a mother of two kids, moving into a new neighborhood. The romance happens organically with well-defined characters that I fell in love with myself. ![]() Zapata goes deep with her characters, building the story slowly but deftly. ![]() I just finished reading “Wait for It,” by Mariana Zapata, and I recommend it highly. ![]() ![]() Entirely produced in Brazil during the pandemic and remotely, the project counted with people from all regions of Brazil and with women in all leadership positions. In Chatrone’s production, diversity and racial representativity are celebrated on and off screen. The adaptation creates a new generation of fans of the boy with a pan in his head, “with his eyes bigger than his tummy and wind in his feet” – and that has already been portrayed in movies and comic books. This is the first time that the work becomes an animated TV show, and it brings surprises with new characters and a plot that includes contemporary themes to it’s universe. ![]() The work counts with the production of Chatrone, audiovisual producer founded in 2007, with offices in Los Angeles and São Paulo. ![]() Adapted from the classical juvenile book written by Ziraldo, one of the most consecrated brazilian artists, with more than 10 million books sold and translated to other idioms. ![]() “O Menino Maluquinho”, first Netflix Brazilian children’s animated TV show, arrived on streaming. ![]() ![]() ![]() I was left wanting to know more about Elise's background and perhaps more development with some of the side characters. I needed a fun, thoughtful escape, and this provided that. This was really the perfect read to suit my mood. The Continuum/continuum is not at all what what it seems. ![]() She thinks she's there to retrieve a man who has gone missing on a new technological marvel called the Continuum, but the situation is considerably more complicated than that. After a close call regarding the Titanic, she returns to the present only to be ambushed by rogues who force her to travel again-into the future. Elise's day job is by no means a normal one-she's sent back in time to retrieve clients whose time travel vacations have gone on too long or become outright meddlesome to the space-time continuum. Nikel's fun novella adds some new twists to the time travel genre. I received this book along with the sequel courtesy of the publisher, via the LibraryThing Early Reviewer's Program. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also includes: a relentlessly funny section where Selin moves to a remote Hungarian village over the summer holidays to be close to her love interest Ivan – a romantic gesture which, predictably, doesn’t exactly go to plan. The IdiotĪnother novel about a bewildered Harvard freshman! This time it is Selin, a confused Turkish-American from New Jersey, who gets to university and finds herself perplexed by the ordeals of adulthood. Rennison skewered the absurdity of being a teenage girl with hilarity but also tenderness – it always felt like she was laughing with you, not at you, and thus she made it possible – just – to see the funny side of such horrors as embarrassing parents and eyebrow plucking disasters. ![]() ![]() Louise Rennison’s riotous series about Georgia Nicholson and her “ace gang” of friends underscored my teenage years, to the extent that I still steal Georgia’s catchprase and think of myself as “having a Nervy B” whenever I’m feeling on edge. ![]() ![]() ![]() "We have never had anything like this, not in our lifetime anyway."Ĭonstruction crews are busy erecting a Eurovision village that will act as a party zone for fans who failed to get tickets to the sold-out semifinal and final events.

It's hosting the spectacular instead of Ukraine - which won last year's event and was therefore in line to welcome competitors next week - but security concerns over Russia's invasion in February 2022 made the move to Liverpool necessary. Starting on May 9, Liverpool will be hosting the popular Eurovision Song Contest, where singers representing 37 countries compete in an often over-the-top musical extravaganza. The city in northwest England is getting ready for a crowning, but it's not a coronation. Throughout Liverpool, the brightly coloured flags and banners hang from the street posts and are plastered on walls, promoting a major celebration that will draw in millions of international viewers. ![]() |
