The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain, Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come. The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home, Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war. When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar, Lie down till the leaders have spoken - it may be fair words shall prevail. When Pack meets with Pack in the Jungle, and neither will go from the trail, Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle - the Tiger, the Panther, and Bear.Īnd trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair. Remember the Wolf is a Hunter - go forth and get food of thine own. The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip drink deeply, but never too deep Īnd remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep. Now this is the Law of the Jungle - as old and as true as the sky And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.Īs the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back -įor the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

He gets the what and the who, but the why and the how elude him in a book that struggles to bring the larger picture into focus. Something clearly has happened here, and Jason Zinoman’s “Shock Value” aims to tell us the what, the who, the why and the how. Serial-killer thrillers like “The Silence of the Lambs” and “No Country for Old Men” win Academy Awards while the torture-porn of movies like “The Human Centipede” and “Hostel” makes the old grind-house screamers look virginal. Zombies, vampires and wolf men have conquered the best-seller lists, movie screens and the prime-time schedule. Today, of course, popular culture bleeds from every pore. Time magazine’s cover story on “Jaws” ran 3,300 words, and not one of them was “horror.” By 1975 a scary movie was called by any other name. The collapse of the studio system, the aging of its stars, the decline of Grade-A monster movies like 1931’s “Frankenstein” into rubber-suit rip-offs aimed at the teenage trade - all were stakes driven into a once vibrant genre. As a cultural commodity that got any respect, the horror movie was dead by the early 1970s. Since then, over 1 million copies have been sold, and it’s for good reason.

Great Performance Strange Obsession with White People With all these choices, Quique is sure to forget about Saleem in no time.īut as the summer heats up and his deep-seated fears and anxieties boil over, Quique soon realizes that getting over one guy by getting under a bunch of others may not have been the best laid plan and living his truth can come at a high cost. There’s stoner-jock Tyler Montana, who might be just as interested in Fabiola as he is in Quique straitlaced senior-class president, Ziggy Jackson and Manny Zuniga, who keeps looking at Quique like he’s carne asada fresh off the grill. Luckily, Quique’s prospects are each intriguing in their own ways. And definitely forget the fact that good and kind and, not to mention, beautiful Saleem is leaving LA for the summer to meet a girl his parents are trying to set him up with.

Thanks, old chum.”īookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, “I do believe the official decree from your master and commander was, ‘Give the dear boy what he wants.’ This dear boy wants water. The only question was whether they were protecting him, or protecting themselves from him. The response was immediate and irritated. And don’t bloody well spit in it this time-you honestly think I’m not well versed enough in that fine art to notice?” “You, there-yes, you-bring me a glass of water. Wait here and be quiet-can’t raise the alarm just yet, can we?”Įtta wasn’t sure what that meant, but she complied all the same, watching as the young man walked to the door and stuck his head out into the hall. “Oh, you’re no fun,” he said with a little pout. “You sound as terrible as you look, kiddo. He seemed startled by her ability to speak, but he stood and retrieved a glass of some amber liquid from a corner table for her. “Where am I?” she asked, interrupting him. On a personal level, it’s about forbidden love, social duty, and the effects of war on individuals, families, and cities. The problem is that the book is so much more than that. If asked to summarize Fall of Giants in one sentence, I would say it’s a story that follows several families through World War 1 and its impact on them. It was a bittersweet moment but it reminded me, once again, why Ken Follett is one of the best. About five minutes later, I started to panic a little for the exact same reason – the book was over and I would never again get to experience the lives of Gus, the advisor to President Wilson who you want to protect from the world or Grigori, the poor Russian whose sole wish was to move to America or Lady Maud, the aristocrat who championed women’s rights and fell in love with the enemy or Walter, the German spy who was the object of Lady Maud’s affection or Ethel, the ambitious housemaid whose fall from grace took her to unlikely places. It was a stunning book filled with accurate historical accounts of the events surrounding World War 1 and the characters where rich and real to me. When I finished Fall of Giants, the first in Ken Follett’s latest trilogy, I was filled with happiness.

Fragments of Homer account for nearly half of all identifiable Greek literary papyrus finds. Homer's works, which are about fifty percent speeches, provided models in persuasive speaking and writing that were emulated throughout the ancient and medieval Greek worlds. The formative influence of the Homeric epics in shaping Greek culture was widely recognized, and Homer was described as the teacher of Greece. Most modern researchers place Homer in the 7th or 8th centuries BCE. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE, while other ancient sources claim that he lived much nearer to the supposed time of the Trojan War, in the early 12th century BCE. These epics lie at the beginning of the Western canon of literature, and have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. In the Western classical tradition, Homer (Greek: Ὅμηρος) is considered the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. |
