5/13/2023 0 Comments Cahiller by Étienne Davodeau![]() ![]() ![]() A journalist and wine expert, in slightly over 15 years Sangiorgi has managed to provide a different interpretation for understanding wine, being one of the first authors to have dealt with the so called “natural wines” thorny subject. The two characters exchange professions, which will foster a mutual growth: Etienne approaches the world of wine thanks to his friend Richard Leroy, who in turn discovers the universe of comic strips and publishing. As you read, it will become impossible to take your eyes off the book. The common ideal of quality at all costs no matter the price lies on the background. It’s no wonder this book was brought to Italy by Sandro Sangiorgi with Porthos. But these two are full of good will and curiosity. ![]() He doesnt know much about the world of wine-making. Here, the two protagonists’ lack of unawareness of each other’s crafts and skills in their two dissimilar professions accompanies a lay reader throughout the discovery of viticulture and wine production.

Characteristically, he defines this Quixotic quest with reference to the quintessential English upper-class sport: Because – he claims – he had stalked most other game available and fancied it as a challenge, ‘for the fun of the stalk’. For the narrator was – in his airily lackadaisical, Jeeves-and-Wooster kind of way – stalking the Great Leader of this country, at his rural estate. Why? Bored. It starts rather confusingly in media res, at the moment just after he has been caught trespassing by the security people guarding the country house of the leader of a foreign country, beaten up, then thrown over a cliff and left for dead. Rogue Male is narrated in the first person by an unnamed upper-class Englishman who has an odd way of telling a story. It is marketed as a thrilling ‘manhunt’ and while this is not untrue, it doesn’t capture the real essence of the book which is something weirder and more pagan. ![]() This novel is much stranger than its blurb and reputation suggest. ![]() They were beginning to understand that a bored and wealthy Englishman who had hunted all commoner game might well find a perverse pleasure in hunting the biggest game on earth. ![]() ![]() ![]()
5/12/2023 0 Comments Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy![]() Like the Arctic tern, McConaghy thrives on the peripatetic life, a familiar comfort. (Arterra / Universal Images Group via Getty Images) What the Saghani crew doesn’t know is that Franny, harboring an ocean’s worth of guilt, is bent on self-destruction and can’t always control the collateral damage. So she enlists the Saghani’s prickly captain, who agrees to follow the terns in hopes that the birds will lead them to fish. Franny, an ornithologist of sorts, has managed to attach tracking bands to three birds but has no way to follow their path. The white bird with a jaunty black cap and red bill flies from the Arctic all the way to the Antarctica and then back again in a year, racking up some 25,000 miles. ![]() ![]() One of the few species left is the Artic tern, which has the longest migration of any animal. The last known wolf died in captivity the previous winter. In “Migrations,” there are no more monkeys, chimps, apes or gorillas, big cats, bears or reptiles living in their natural habitat. She elbows her way onto the Saghani, one of the few fishing boats allowed to overturn the oceans for the last scraps of sea life in a world that’s like ours but with one key difference: Climate change, and particularly the extinction of nearly all the world’s wildlife, has accelerated to a devastating pitch. ![]() Published as “The Last Migration” in Australia and the U.K., the book follows Franny Stone, a tempestuous young woman who lands in Greenland to track the migration of the Arctic tern. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Bond piper scott![]() ![]() ![]() Under the plan, customers with balances of AUD$250 or below will be paid back in full, and other customers will receive a rebalance of approximately 45% of the value of their crypto accounts when trading resumes.

In fact there is no explanation-or better, there is only one explanation: the person in question is stupid. These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity: Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. Nobody knows, understands, or can possibly explain why that preposterous creature does what he does. Our daily life is mostly made up of cases in which we lose money and/or time and/or energy and/or appetite, cheerfulness, and good health because of the improbable action of some preposterous creature who has nothing to gain and indeed gains nothing from causing us embarrassment, difficulties or harm. But upon thoughtful reflection you must admit that these are not the events that punctuate most frequently our daily life. We also recollect cases in which a fellow took an action that resulted in his loss and in our gain: we had to deal with a helpless person.* We can recollect cases in which a fellow took an action by which both parties gained: he was intelligent. ![]() “We all recollect occasions in which a fellow took an action that resulted in his gain and in our loss: we had to deal with a bandit. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments The story of civilization book set![]() ![]() I quickly went from trying to keep up with him, to hanging on for dear life, to simply sitting there in wonder. ![]() I had never experienced anything like it before.
