![]() ![]() ![]() This informal collective of artists and writers, which included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. Separately and together, they query the relationship of past to present, and the meaning of life itself. While social events, individual achievements and disappointments form its narrative, the novel is most remarkable for the rich poetic language that expresses the inner life of its characters: their aspirations, their triumphs and regrets, their awareness of unity and isolation. Tracing the lives of a group of friends, The Waves follows their development from childhood to youth and middle age. More than any of Virginia Woolf’s other novels, The Waves conveys the full complexity and richness of human experience. ![]() ![]() Arthur Crandon is a lawyer, blogger, reviewer and published author. ![]() ![]() Arthur Crandon, Deadly Election, Crime, Thriller.

The brilliance of Flanagan’s story and the deep power of this novel is in our witnessing of the end of the world. Yet, while Logan Roy is a monster and Francie a saint, the effect in the adult children is exactly the same. In The Living Sea of Waking Dreams it is a matriarch rather than a patriarch slowly, messily and unevenly passing out of the world. Its heart is the tawdry machinations of the infantilised children as they jockey for advantage, trying to win the game of imaginary approval driving sibling rivalry. While Succession, with its ageing mogul patriarch Logan Roy, is loosely based on the Murdoch dynasty, it does not really depend on a media empire at stake. ![]() In this respect, Flanagan’s novel resembles Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections or HBO’s Succession. What place? Not Tasmania, but the invisible, traumatic centre of family life - all the failures, evasions, dirty compromises swept under the carpet only to reappear with surprising exactitude each Christmas. ![]() In the face of a scarred country, Anna must return home and face the scars of her family. ![]() ![]() ![]() A chronicle of ideas and of personal commitments and betrayals, Safranski’s biography combines clear accounts of the philosophy that won Heidegger eternal renown with the fascinating details of the loves and lapses that tripped up this powerful intellectual. Rüdiger Safranski chronicles Heidegger’s rise along with the thought he honed on the way, with its debt to Heraclitus, Plato, and Kant, and its tragic susceptibility to the conservatism that emerged out of the nightmare of Germany’s loss in World War I. Soon he turned apostate and sought a university position, which set him on the path to becoming the star of German philosophy in the 1920s. ![]() Heidegger grew up in Catholic Germany where, for a chance at pursuing a life of learning, he pledged himself to the priesthood. The story of Heidegger’s life and philosophy, a quintessentially German story in which good and evil, brilliance and blindness are inextricably entwined and the passions and disasters of a whole century come into play, is told in this brilliant biography. One of the century’s greatest philosophers, without whom there would be no Sartre, no Foucault, no Frankfurt School, Martin Heidegger was also a man of great failures and flaws, a Faustus who made a pact with the devil of his time, Adolf Hitler. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, those inconsequential decisions lead her to perform a good deed that puts her in the right place at the right time to unleash a chain of events that brings a mysterious package to her door - a package which informs her that her entire world is a lie. Her life would still be perfect - with only the tiny cracks of an angry junkie for a brother and a charming drunk with shady underworld connections for an uncle to mar the otherwise flawless whole.īut that's not what happened. ![]() She would still be the privileged daughter of a doting father and a loving mother.
