![]() Did Eric Clapton lose a child?Īfter Clapton’s 4-year-old son accidentally fell out of a window to his death, the musician turned his grief into the heart-wrenching ballad. Clapton’s songs ‘Layla’ and ‘Wonderful Tonight’ were inspired by her. She had previously been married to Clapton’s friend George Harrison from 1966 to 1977. What happened to Eric Clapton’s wife?Ĭlapton married Pattie Boyd in 1979. Paul wrote the 1997 song Little Willow for Maureen and dedicated it to her children. All four of her children, her mother Florence, husband Isaac and ex-husband Ringo were at her bedside. She died at home of leukaemia on 30 December 1994. What happened to Ringo Starr’s first wife? When he was two, she emigrated to Canada, leaving him with her own mother, Rose. She had given birth to him at 16, the illegitimate result of a one-night stand with a soldier. ![]() She subsequently suspected that Clapton’s pursuit of her when she was married to Harrison “had more to do” with the competitive aspect of the two musicians’ friendship, and that “Eric just wanted what George had.” Did Eric Clapton meet his mother?Īt the age of nine, Eric Clapton was visited by his mother, Pat. In 1989, her divorce was granted on the grounds of “infidelity and unreasonable behaviour”.

What happened to Nebuchadnezzar and what does it mean? It is hard to read this and not picture something like Beauty and the Beast. Victorian scholars, hoping to discover a plausible historical explanation for this description, suggested a diagnosis of clinical lycanthropy. ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved the backstory of Kate’s early fixation on explorers. ![]() It reminded me how important being open to new people can be to memorable travels-or just everyday life. In one country, the families they stayed with one night would call ahead to their friends in the next town on the route, ensuring Kate and Mel always had somewhere lined up to stay. ![]() All the way across the Silk Road, generous people invite them into their homes and families. I really appreciated Kate’s descriptions of the kindness of the locals they meet on their trip, and how these interactions influenced the course of their adventure. It’s been so long since many of us travelled to another country, or immersed ourselves in different cultures. It’s refreshing to read about the interpersonal conflicts that are seemingly inevitable on any kind of adventure, even with someone you really like. They have moments of tension, from one suffering in the elements more than the other, to varying degrees of social endurance with people they meet along the way. The pair trade off being the motivated one, like one morning where Kate reads a sleeping-bag bound Mel a few lines of inspiring poetry while making them coffee along the Black Sea in Turkey. Kate’s description of the dynamics with an adventure partner are so honest. ![]() ![]() ![]() In their quest for authenticity and new values, these three thinkers essentially create heroic myths of their own. The study elucidates how Rank uses Nietzsche to break away from Freud, and Freud, on the other hand, tries to perform a 'heroic escape' from Nietzsche's influence. The study shows how the development of Rank's thought progresses from strict adherence to Freud's ideas to a point where he re-unites again with his early philosophical hero, Nietzsche, the artistic heroism acting as a connecting metaphor. It proposes that the notion of Artistic Hero in the philosophies of Rank, Freud and Nietzsche can be seen as a key concept, as they attempt to answer this dilemma. This study argues that the psychologies of Rank and Freud – and their gradual divergence – can be seen as two different and unique answers to the challenge of nihilism, as expressed by Nietzsche with his conception of the Death of God and the cultural criticism that entails. Nietzsche acts here as a basis for comparison. The study employs various key concepts of Nietzsche – such as Apollonian / Dionysian dichotomy – to illustrate similarities and differences between Rank and Freud. ![]() The investigation is conducted by performing a comparative study of Rank's thought with that of his two great mentors: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). The focus is specifically on the notion of Artist as the Hero. The goal of this study is to explore the development of Otto Rank's (1884-1939) philosophy through his shifting conceptions of heroism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The other two are narrated in the third person and follow a young girl named Damaya and a woman in her early twenties named Syenite. One, narrated in the second person, follows a middle-aged woman named Essun from a small town called Tirimo. The Fifth Season is set on a supercontinent called the Stillness that is constantly rocked by seismic activity, some of it devastating to civilization and causing an extended winter referred to as a “Fifth Season.” The story is split into three separate narratives. The Fifth Season tells us of the story of three Orogenes: Damaya, a young Orogene, who is taken to the Fulcrum to be trained as an Imperial Orogene Syenite, a four-ringer Imperial Orogene, who goes on a mission to help a coastal comm and at the same time procreate with the ten-ringer Alabaster and Essun, an Orogene who lives in disguise as a still. Humans fear the Orogenes, and given the chance, slaughter them. ![]() Living among humans are Orogenes, who can harness the power of the earth to wield magic. On a singular supercontinent called The Stillness, people live with the constant danger of quakes and, in the coastal comms, tsunamis. ![]() ![]() Antopol’s stories display an impressive insight into the psyches of the various damaged characters, all of whom are trying to find their place in their own family, culture, or time. Today’s post is one humble blogger’s attempt to rectify that situation by recommending 10 women writers every discerning reader should know (by which I mean “read,” not “know of”).Īs I read The UnAmericans, it soon became clear why Antopol was selected by the National Book Foundation as a “5 Under 35 Author” last November. In fact, I sense a low-grade form of “positive” stress among dedicated readers over the fact that there are “so many books, so little time.” Our “To Be Read” lists (or stacks, if we’re compulsive book buyers) are growing like vines that take over their territory.Īnd yet, many writers remain criminally unknown or, at the very least, under-appreciated.

The autobiography of Malcom X, first Malcolm Little and later El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, can best be described as a tale of a life completely turned around. ![]() ![]() Organized according to region and colorfully designed with illustrations, maps, menus, and glossaries, Why Italians Love to Talk About Food will allow any reader to become as versed in the ways of Italian cooking as the most seasoned of chefs. In this learned, charming, and entertaining narrative, Kostioukovitch takes us on a journey through one of the world's richest and most adored food cultures. Try tasting Piedmontese bagna cauda, then a Lombard cassoela, then lamb ala Romana: each is part of a unique culinary tradition. To come to know Italian food is to discover the differences of taste, language, and attitude that separate a Sicilian from a Piedmontese or a Venetian from a Sardinian. Along the way, she captures the fierce local pride that gives Italian cuisine its remarkable diversity. In Why Italians Love to Talk About Food, Elena Kostioukovitch explores the phenomenon that first struck her as a newcomer to Italy: the Italian "culinary code," or way of talking about food. ![]() The aroma of a simmering ragú, the bouquet of a local wine, the remembrance of a past meal: Italians discuss these details as naturally as we talk about politics or sports, and often with the same flared tempers. ![]() ![]() Give this book to the teens in your life." -Tillie Walden, author of Spinning and Are You Listening?
