The gift shop is in the venerable courthouse where as a child Lee watched her father practice law, and which she later rendered so vividly in her book. That would be a mere T-shirt’s toss from a gift shop peddling Mockingbird hats, tote bags, necklaces, Christmas ornaments, refrigerator magnets, wrist bands (inscribed “I see it, Scout, I see it!”) and paper fans. 6,372) that served as the model for her novel’s Maycomb, has found herself living a short drive from one restaurant called the Mockingbird Grill and another named Radley’s Fountain, after Boo Radley, the character in Mockingbird who might be voted Least Likely to Become a Restaurateur. Strongly inclined to put aside the hype and hoopla and let literature speak for itself, Lee, the best-known native of the town (pop. To spend an hour in Monroeville, Alabama, is to know why Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, ranks as one of the crankiest writers on the planet. Amongst other things, the movie satirizes both the Opus Dei and the Spanish Catholic Church involvement in politics. But for some reason, this movie appears to have been tacitly banned in Spain, and same has happened to Graham Greene's novel (at least, I could not get a copy of either despite trying many times). The movie proves Graham Greene's profound knowledge of Spain, its traditions, and its politics. I would describe the roles played by Sir Alec Guinness, Leo McKerr, Rosalie Crutchley, and some of the other actors and actresses as remarkable. The music by Anton Garcia Abril also suits the movie very well. I personally would not describe it as a comedy, but rather as a comedy-drama. The movie has many hilarious scenes, but it has also its sad moments. The story is told in such a way that it resembles the adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in modern times (Don Quixote and Sancho Panza were the characters created by Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra in the book "Don Quijote de la Mancha" early in the 17th Century). Both men are great friends despite their opposite backgrounds, and while the movie progresses, we can see that their ideas are not as far apart as one would expect. Based on the novel by Graham Greene of the same title, the movie tells us about the adventures of a Roman Catholic priest (Father Quixote) just promoted to monsignor, and a communist mayor (Sancho) just defeated in a municipal election in the post-Franco years in Spain. I will start saying that few movies have touched me in my life as much as Monsignor Quixote did.

The Inheritance Cycle 4-Book Collection: Eragon Eldest Brisingr Inheritance is written by Christopher Paolini and published by Knopf. During the battle, Saphira, Eragons dragon, is almost killed by a Dauthdaert. The Inheritance Cycle complete set of 4 hardcovers. The #1 New York Times bestselling Inheritance Cycle about the dragon rider Eragon has sold over 35 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation. Inheritance begins when the Varden attack Belatona, a city of the Empire. Lindsey uses her library skills to trace Robbie’s history, learning things about his past that the police have been unaware of and that they need in order to solve the case. This leads to an investigation into all the people who have held a grudge against Robbie. Then, at practice a few days before the first performance, Robbie takes a drink of the coconut water he is so fond of and promptly dies of poisoning. This meets the thorough disapproval of Sully, the local captain who dated and then broke up with Lindsey in the previous book. Despite having a wife and a girlfriend in tow, Robbie tries very hard to get the attention of Lindsey, the librarian who serves as the protagonist of the book. In bringing Robbie to Briar Creek, Violet inadvertently brings drama to the community, with people either loving or hating him but not having feelings in between. The play is produced and directed by their very own Violet LaRue, a famous retired Broadway actress, who Invites her close friend Robbie Vine, a fellow highly famous Broadway actor, to star as Puck. In Read It and Weep, the fourth book in Jenn McKinlay’s Library Lover’s Mystery series, the town of Briar Creek stages its own production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s a beautifully designed book, from its oversized spreads to its carefully chosen font colors (in red, white, or blue depending on necessary contrast), and while some of the images are hackneyed (an eagle in flight, pioneers in a Conestoga wagon), Nelson’s sweeping oil paintings gives them a storied grandeur. This picture-book tribute to the flag provides a creative take as spreads offer a page focusing on the flag’s attributes (“Blue sky white stars,” featuring the blue portion of the flag), then use the same (or homonymic) text that treat an aspect of American geography or history (“Blue sky white stars,” featuring the Statue of Liberty under a starry moonlit sky). Morgan Llywelyn has written a rich, historically accurate, and passionate novel of divided Ireland - and of one brave woman who is Ireland herself. The story of her life is the story of Ireland's fight for solidarity and survival-but it's also the story of Grania's growing ability to love and be strong at the same time. But Grania, aided by Tigernan, her faithful (and secretly adoring) lieutenant, has no choice but to fight back. For even as Grania rises as her clan's unofficial head and breadwinner and learns to love a man, she enters a lifelong struggle against the English forces of Queen Elizabeth - her nemesis and alter ego.Įlizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping empire-and so subjugate Ireland once and for all. Grania (Gaelic for Grace) is no ordinary female. From Morgan Llywelyn, bestselling author of Lion of Ireland and the Irish Century novels, comes the story of a magnificent, sixteenth-century heroine whose spirit and passion are the spirit and passion of Ireland itself. Here is an extraordinary novel about real-life Irish chieftain Grace O Malley. Grania is the basis of the new Broadway muscial The Pirate Queen.

He still tugs on all the right strings for me, but he seems determined to keep me at arm’s-length. The stoic boy I fell in love with grew into a quiet, dangerous and wildly sexy man. Thirteen years after he left, tragedy brings him home. He enlisted, I went to college, and for years we were never in the same place long enough to pick up where we left off. I wanted forever with him, but life got in the way. He was my first kiss, my first love, my first everything. I hadn’t expected him to be the one to make me blush, to make me hot…to make me fall in love. I wanted to be the one to make him laugh, to make him smile. One look into his sad green eyes and I was hooked. This novel clearly attracted numerous contributors to the Wikipedia, and their articles both on Eco and The Name of the Rose provide such detailed and insightful analysis that it would be pointless to summarize.
