His father was a notary in the Frisian town of Donryp. In 1840 Lourens Alma-Tadema lost in his father at the age of 4. In this article, we tell you more about Alma-Tadema's life, his paintings and especially his engravings, which are still for sale for the 'common' man nowadays. The few original engravings that have survived in time are nowadays sought-after collectors' items. Besides paintings, Alma Tadema also produced and sold beautiful etchings and engravings during his lifetime. Today, Alma-Tadema's paintings hang in the most famous museums or are in the possession of important private collections. Even less people know that he was a world-famous Dutch painter during the Victorian period. Few people are familiar with the name Alma-Tadema, better known as 'Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema'. ![]() Stephen ambrose undaunted courage7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I will never forget this audiobook! Get it, set aside some time when you will be alone to savor every word, and try to get to a spot of wilderness to listen to the ending. I have recommended it to friends and they also said that it was an unforgettable journey for them also. I was just in awe of the book, the journey, the greatness of Lewis, and the beauty of wild nature. I went out on my deck as the sun was setting and listened to Jefferson's tribute and the beautiful music and sobbed as hard as I have ever sobbed in my life.

It is a tour de force! I live in Alaska on a hill overlooking the great sweep of the Tanana River, with miles of wilderness stretching before me. Ambrose himself reads the very ending of the book, and he sounds like Jefferson himself listing the amazing traits that Lewis possessed and that made the great expedition possible. It took almost 200 years, but we finally see him as the hero and genius that he was. At long last, Ambrose gave Lewis his due. The listener has been through all sorts of travails with Lewis, from planning the trip and reaching the Pacific and the long return. Four hours later I was listening to the ending, still spellbound. I bought this for my son, but thought I would listen to "a bit" of it while I cleaned house.

That was the view, she said, stopping, growing greyer-eyed, that her husband loved. For, though they had reached the town now and were in the main street, with carts grinding past on the cobbles, still he went on talking, about settlements, and teaching, and working men, and helping our own class, and lectures, till she gathered that he had got back entire self-confidence, had recovered from the circus, and was about (and now again she liked him away on both sides, they came out on the quay, and the whole bay spread before them and Mrs Ramsay could not help exclaiming, “Oh, how beautiful!” For the great plateful of blue water was before her the hoary Lighthouse, distant, austere, in the midst and on the right, as far as the eye could see, fading and falling, in soft low pleats, the green sand dunes with the wild flowing grasses on them, which always seemed to be running away into some moon country, uninhabited of men. ![]() On the origin of species 18597/4/2023 ![]() Darwin was himself a deeply religious man and, unsurprisingly perhaps, spent 20 years in rigorous intellectual enquiry, exhaustive experiments and soul-searching before, finally, an anxiety that someone else would get there first spurred him to go public. But, on his return, a fear of the probable impact of his discoveries also took root. The seeds of Darwin’ explosive ideas had planted themselves in his mind when, as a young scientist on a five-year voyage of exploration on board HMS Beagle, he tramped around the tropical forests of Brazil, made sketches of the fossil-packed strata of Patagonia, experienced the geological drama of the Andes, and encountered the extraordinary animal life of the Galapagos Islands. How dare any man challenge the concept of divine creation? But the first edition sold out within a day (it has remained in print ever since), its author was declared the most dangerous man in England, and a new era in human thought had begun. When first published in 1859, its central theory – that the natural order was not permanent and unchanging but a gradual process of evolution – met with fierce opposition. ![]() ‘One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die’ ![]() Elantris audible7/4/2023 ![]() I don't see it as not being updated what is hot and the newest on the bestselling list, instead I consider it finding gems along the road of my reading journey. Sometimes it seems that I far behind the wave with my reading. On its own I might have given it an extra star. I rate this book in comparison with Sandersons other works which I really, really enjoyed. If you think this might annoy you, be careful. I almost ended up listening to the book at. I found his pacing too slow to and the length of the breaks between sentences even worse. It was my first experience with Jack Garrett as narrator. ![]() How could the performance have been better? The primary story picked up some speed for the last parts of the book and that helped my overall impression. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Likable characters with developed individual story arcs helped carry the book along. ![]() But the downside is that it is slower and not as refreshing as Sanderson's other works. ![]() With the price of one credit and at the length of three normal books it it a great find if you, like me, enjoy long books or series of books. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Good value, slow narrator and average fantasy. ![]() |
