Three years later, in 1873, Degas’ father died, revealing a massive amount of business debt held by his brother, Rene. In 1870, at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, he enrolled as a member of the National Guard, but his eyesight, which was found defective during rifle training, was troublesome and so he could not serve. His paintings were exhibited at the Paris Salon beginning in 1865, but they attracted little attention, and his subject matte slowly transitioned from history paintings to more contemporary subjects. Degas, who at age 18 had transformed one of the rooms is his house into a studio, and was a registered copyist at the Louvre by 1853, left law school after two years, and a year later traveled to Italy studying the art of the great masters. Due to the wishes of his father, who wanted him to go to law school, he enrolled at the University of Paris in 1853 to pursue a law degree, where he made little effort. ![]() ![]() Born to wealthy family, he began his schooling with a baccalaureate in literature in 1853. One of the founders of the Impressionist movement, Edgar Degas was a prominent artist in the last half of the 19th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Age of consent varies in the real world and I’m not really interested in arguing what specific age it should be, but power dynamics are a very real consideration both IRL and in fantasy. But I think it’s worth noting because another thing I can’t help but notice is that the older partner is usually the male in these heterosexual relationships, and I wonder: What are the power dynamics?Īge gaps in fiction don’t bother me when both parties are fully adults and enter into a relationship willingly and with full awareness of what is happening, so they’re both able to give consent. Some of these examples really lean into the fantasy aspect of the story and star immortals falling for mortals, so while tens (or hundreds) of years may exist between characters, they appear to be the same age and the weirdness is less noticeable…you might even forget about it in the moment. ![]() It might be easy to write off these big age gaps in fantasy as a quirk of the 1980s and 1990s, but of course fantasy age gaps have persisted ever since then - Alec and Magnus in Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunters books, Bella and Edward (and then Jacob and Reneesme) in the Twilight series, Rhysand and Feyre in A Court of Thorns and Roses. ![]() ![]() ![]() Brooke left Hillcrest for good, and that was the last time I saw her.įourteen years later, I’m staring at her face on the television. Three months later, her father died, and Kai became the head of the Bennett Family. Her father said accident, but Brooke said murder. They were mafia, and Brooke’s oldest brother was dead. He came to our school with their father, and that’s when I learned what kind of family Brooke came from. Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams. I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother. The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. ![]() The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why. There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy. ![]() ![]() As of June 2016, the Paddington Bear franchise was owned by Vivendi's StudioCanal. Paddington books have been translated into 30 languages across 70 titles and have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. ![]() Paddington has become one of the most beloved British fictional characters-a Paddington Bear stuffed toy was chosen by British tunnellers as the first item to pass through to their French counterparts when the two sides of the Channel Tunnel were linked in 1994. He was discovered in London Paddington station by the (human) Brown family who adopted him and named him "Paddington Brown," as his original name in bear language was too hard for them to pronounce. He has an endless capacity for innocently getting into trouble, but he is known to "try so hard to get things right". An anthropomorphised bear, Paddington is always polite – addressing people as "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss" but rarely by first names – and kindhearted, though he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval. The friendly spectacled bear from "darkest Peru" – with his old hat, battered suitcase, duffel coat and love of marmalade – has become a classic character in children's literature. He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond, and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists. ![]() Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children's literature. ![]() ![]() The sentence’s smooth rhythm mimics the sweep of an eye and creates a feeling of movement that’s aided by the repetition of the terminal “s” and “t” sounds. Take this line from “Family Man,” about a family that lives “country-quiet” and the disruptions they come to crave or refuse: “From the picture window Maas follows winter colors: whites, slates, steely skies, and yellows.” If the first clause were verse, it would almost scan into iambs, with a dactyl interrupting the line. A devoted reader of poetry - Emily Dickinson and Robert Lowell are favorites - Schutt writes musically, with intense attention to sound and cadence. Widely praised for her craftsmanship, Schutt delivers precise and novel observations, such as “the luggage-colored oak leaves” that mark autumn and “the shape of a man blued by symbols” to describe a lover. The collection is unified by an aesthetic that John Ashbery described as “pared down but rich, dense, fevered, exactly right and even eerily beautiful.” Ranging from a few pages to the length of a novella, these 11 stories are animated by a concern with loss and grief, dysfunctional families, self-knowledge, and dignity. BREVITY, TAUTNESS, RIGOR, SURPRISE: these are the commonly accepted qualities of a good short story, and all are on display in Christine Schutt’s new collection Pure Hollywood. ![]() |
