Martín Fierro by José Hernández5/28/2023 He opposed immigration, because he believed it undermined the pastoral foundation of the region's wealth. Hernández founded the newspaper El Río de la Plata, which advocated local autonomy, abolition of the conscripted "frontier contingents", and election of justices of the peace, military commanders, and school boards. His career was to be an alternation between stints on the Federal side in the civil wars of Argentina and Uruguay and life as a newspaperman, a short stint as an employee of a commercial firm, and a period as stenographer to the legislature of the Confederation. His father was a majordomo or foreman of a series of cattle ranches. Hernández, whose ancestry was Spanish, was born on a farm near San Martín ( Buenos Aires Province).

Mary wollstonecraft 1759 17975/28/2023 Instead of viewing women as ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, Wollstonecraft maintains that they are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men. She argues that women ought to have an education commensurate with their position in society, claiming that women are essential to the nation because they educate its children and because they could be "companions" to their husbands, rather than mere wives. In it, Wollstonecraft responds to those educational and political theorists of the eighteenth century who did not believe women should receive a rational education. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects at WikisourceĪ Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792), written by British philosopher and women's rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797), is one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.

Jessica jung novel5/27/2023 Now, Rachel is part of a nine-member group called Girls Forever. I needed answers then and I need them more now!īright picks up more than five years after the end of Shine. However, since Jessica Jung was a K-pop idol herself with the group Girls Generation, there were many questions about how much was real and how much was fiction. She was caught up in the drama of a group of teenagers all striving to be the next big music star… and it was a delicious amount of drama in all the best ways. Shine introduced us to an American-born K-pop trainee named Rachel. Skipped sleep to finish it and can’t stop thinking about it, trash. Welp, here we are in 2022 and I’m totally trash for the sequel, Bright. Friend, I did not expect to be consumed by a K-pop book, but alas, I could not stop reading it long enough to board a plane, much less anything else. I passed it on to my sister because she loves K-pop, but ended up reading a digital ARC with her. I originally won an ARC of Jessica Jung‘s debut novel, Shine back in 2020. I have been waiting for this one for what feels like forever.

Congo by Michael Crichton5/27/2023 The second world that the author creatively elaborates on is the world of non-human language acquisition in the form of Amy the gorilla.

Whether the histories offered by the author hover closer or farther from the truth the reader is given a manifest of contextual information regarding the state of technological advancements during the late 1970s in the worlds of computing, communications and weapons tech. The first world is the world of international competition related to technological advancement and the discovery and utilization of natural resources. Crichton weaves a tale that bulges with detail allowing the reader to become immersed in two distinct worlds.

Beyond the Occult by Colin Wilson5/27/2023 In Beyond the Occult Colin Wilson puts forward a powerful case that our so-called 'normal' experience may in fact be subnormal, and that evolution may have brought us near the edge of a quantum leap into a hugely expanded human consciousness.
