This afternoon‘s library finds. #lovelibraries
The ships at first sailed down the Nile carrying guns not bread, and the railways were originally set up to transport troops; the schools were started so as to teach us how to say "Yes" in their language. They imported to us the germ of the greatest European violence, as seen on the Somme and at Verdun, the like of which the world has never previously known, the germ of a deadly disease that struck them more than a thousand years ago.
A doctorate - that's really something.
Putting on an act of humility, I told him that the
matter entailed no more than spending three years delving into the life of an obscure English poet.
I was furious - I won't disguise the fact from you - when the man laughed unashamedly and said We have no need of poetry here.
📕I read this book for a class and had a completely different idea going into it. It was a fascinating read and left me quite uncomfortable (which is the point!). I just don't know if any of the portrayals of the Sudanese people could be damaging. Of course, it is strategic, but anyone has access to read this book and have opinions based on the portrayal. I still don't know how to feel about this book, but it was wonderfully written! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Right now I get my reading recommendations (like tagged book) here on Litsy but this does sound like fun…
If anyone‘s tried it, let me know!!!!!!!
