![]() Shirow is an ambitious world-builder curious to explore how the body and identity intertwine and how political structures influence our perception of both, but his vision uniformly exceeds his abilities in almost every field. Nor are the changes purely cosmetic: the footnotes Shirow peppered early releases with have been expanded ten-fold in an effort to flesh out the universe and explain many of the vaguer aspects of the story and the author’s abstruse philosophy. The infamous sex scene censored from Kodansha’s earlier release is still missing for reasons impossible to explain and the paper still feels too pulpy to earn the designation “deluxe,” but no other edition has so well presented Shirow’s gorgeous artwork. If the hardcover binding feels cheap, more like a chipboard box than a lavish coffee table book, it is a vast improvement over the earlier paperback’s flimsy binding. ![]() No longer is it flopped, nor have the original sound effects-their presence an essential part of Shirow’s painstakingly rendered and gorgeous environments-been replaced with clumsy English approximations. ![]() Kodansha’s deluxe reissue of Masamune Shirow’s seminal Ghost in the Shell (scheduled, no doubt, to capitalize on the live-action film’s release) fixes many of the concerns fans had with earlier editions. ![]()

"God's Spies" is Next Act's entry in World Premiere Wisconsin, a statewide festival of new plays and musicals. He knows us better than we do: The plays remain the outward limit of human achievement. I found this one superior to last season's Cain offering, "The Last White Man," and easier for someone who is not a Shakespeare obsessive to follow.ĭavid Cecsarini directed and co-sound designed "God's Spies," capping off an incredible three decades as Next Act's producing artistic director. In short, Shakespeare invented our understanding of ourselves. Like some of Cain's other plays, there's a lot of comedy and argument about how theater is made here. ![]() It would not hurt to reacquaint yourself with "King Lear" before seeing it, as "Lear" plot points are discussed and the Shakespeare play is frequently quoted. This is the fifth Cain play that Next Act has produced, the third with a Shakespearean theme. The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic infuses Cain's humane comedy, as evidenced by Ruth's relentless tidying and Shakespeare's blithe, ignorant dismissal that it will only last a few days. ![]() ![]() ![]() From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. ![]() During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she tried then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth. ![]() Her artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was about 35 years old.

This factor has not been weaved into Western historiography to its detriment, because explaining concepts such as raison d?etat, realpolitik, balance of power or even European identity remain somewhat short changed without the role of the Ottoman Empire in the evolution as well as functioning of these concepts. From the middle of the fifteenth century on, the Ottoman Empire played a crucial role in shaping European history. ![]() "The history of Europe and the history of the Ottomans are two parallel histories for this reason, the history of the two worlds should be studied comparatively.".

The disapproval of Italy’s Racial Laws was not a defense of the Jews of Italy. Kertzer is unflinching and relentless in his exposure of the Vatican’s shocking actions. This article argues that despite contextual differences, both Jesuit publications demonstrated a transnational pattern of Catholic relation to the Jews: endorsing Pius XI’s statements, they spoke out against racism but did not extend their condemnations to a full rejection of anti-Semitism in its religious and secular components. The shaping of the myth of the ‘good Italian’ was an early process in which Church voices, including the Pope himself, took a significant part. ![]() Jesuits on both sides of the Atlantic interpreted the anti-Semitic turn of the Fascist regime as an imitation of Nazi Germany and with the persistent hope that Italian policies would be milder and more ‘civilized’. The comparative approach helps to comprehend the variety of factors behind editorial choices: readership, political context, Vatican directions, censorship, and silence. It looks specifically at two foremost publications of the Jesuit press in Rome and New York: Civiltà Cattolica and America, respectively. This article examines the Catholic responses to the Fascist Racial Laws in a transatlantic and comparative perspective. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fish goes on his very first vacation but forgets his favorite toy.
