![]() It is an uncompromising vision, and as bleak and well-conceived a dystopia as I have ever encountered. Riddley’s adventurous journey allows Hoban to build a grim portrayal of this ruined England, from the mysterious Eusa folk, the ruined cathedral in Cambry (Canterbury), the wandering packs of wild dogs and the Eusa Show, performed by the ‘Pry Mincer’ and the ‘Wes Mincer’, who on their travelling puppet shows perform allegorical propaganda stories to the, communities. ![]() The language can, in places, be very funny, for example in the twisted Kent placenames (Do-it-over = Dover, Horny Boy = Herne Bay) and the scene where Goodparley and Riddley attempt to interpret The Legend of Saint Eustace (written as it is in modern English). ![]() Hoban’s invented language fizzes with clever word-play, and through this we see echoes of the past, and adds to the sense shared by Riddley and other characters in the story of the heights civilization once reached, and the bitterness and sense of shame that all was lost through human aggression and greedy misuse of their technological wonders. The language reinforces the sense we are seeing Riddley’s post-apocalyptic world through his eyes, adding to the force and energy of his descriptions. You are forced to slow your reading, and if anything, I think the book would benefit from being read aloud. I found Riddleyspeak a challenge, especially in the early pages, but in time (and with the help of a glossary at the end of the book), I began to adapt to the rhythm and structure. ![]() ![]() With dissension in his own camp-and the CityWatch soldiers closing in-Remko feels control slipping through his fingers. ![]() In order to achieve his dangerous ambitions, Gold knows he must do more than catch the rebels-he must destroy the hope their message represents.

If you’re not sure how to articulate them, there are lots of powerful values assessments you can do on your own or together," Roth recommends. "You may come from very different backgrounds or have different interests, but if you’re on the same page with your personal values - yes, that’s where honesty, respect, and integrity come in - you can move through the world as a team.

In the same year, Cervantes left for Rome, possibly because a warrant for his arrest had been issued that condemned him in absence to having his right hand cut off and to be exiled from the capital for ten years for wounding a man. ![]() We do know, however, that he published his first poem, on the death of Philipp II’s third wife, Isabel de Valois, at the age of twenty-one. When his father fell on hard times, the family moved from town to town and the aspiring author might have studied under the Jesuits. His father was a barber-surgeon who set bones, performed bloodlettings, and attended lesser medical needs. Miguel de Cervantes was probably born on 29 September 1547 in Alcalá de Henares, in the Community of Madrid. ![]() ![]() ![]() He criticised both Nehru’s Five-Year Plans and his land reforms and, in his final analysis, he maintained that when he died the people of India were "as a whole not better fed or clad, or housed, and more corruptly governed" than they had been when the British left. He was certainly too kind on the British Raj and naive to suggest it should have lasted longer.Ĭrocker was harsh on many of Nehru’s policies. At times, Crocker did seem to justify the reviewer in the Hindustan Times who dismissed his book as a "blimpish appraisal". In the introduction, Guha points out that Crocker’s criticisms were so trenchant that they aroused considerable but by no means universal anger in India. When he criticised Nehru, as he did for instance over Goa and China, he held no punches. He writes: "Mostly I admired him occasionally he was disappointing always he was fascinating." As those words indicate, Crocker was deeply sympathetic but he was not a blind admirer of his subject. He was Australian high commissioner in Delhi for two periods (between 1952-1962) and became fascinated by Nehru. The strength of Walter Crocker’s comparatively brief biography is his sympathy for Nehru. ![]() ![]() It should never have been out of print but was for some time and has just been rescued with a foreword by Ramachandra Guha which it is difficult for any reviewer to match up to. ![]() I have read many books on Nehru but none has left such a deep impression on me as Walter Crocker’s biography. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok that’s the bad out of the way with, let’s move on to the good….
