ellauri048.html on line 738: Bellow's characterisation of his father's background is one of the most enjoyable strands of the book and an interesting companion to Saul's fiction. His father, Abraham, is characterised by his grandson as a crook and a tyrant, who despised his youngest son's literary ambitions and pummelled him – and all his sons – until Saul grabbed his hand mid-air one day and said, "I'm a married man, Pa. You cannot hit me anymore." In adulthood, on the rare occasions Bellow tried to talk to his father about his upbringing, Saul would shake him off and say rather pointedly: "You shouldn't blame your parents for your faults." Bellow smiles. "And he said this to me, a therapist no less! His father loved him, but it was a tumultuous relationship and my grandfather was mercurial as hell."

ellauri196.html on line 692: Brando was known for his tumultuous personal life (euphemism for a piece of shit) and his large number of partners and children. He was the father to at least 11 children, at least three of whom were not his. Like a large number of men, he too, had homosexual experiences, and he was not ashamed. If Wally had been a woman, he would have married him and they would have lived happily ever after and had a bunch of kids. Now all they got were some brown pickaninnies.
ellauri210.html on line 368: Cravan’s real name was Fabian Avenarius Lloyd; he adopted myriad pseudonyms and aliases during his short life. He was born in Switzerland, in 1887, to Irish and British parents with whom he had a tumultuous relationship, though he was immensely proud of his aunt Constancez, who was Oscar Wilde’s wife. In his early teens, Cravan came to regard the familial link to the world’s most disreputable genius as proof that he was destined for a life of fabulous infamy.
ellauri219.html on line 200: Horny and Lenny had a tumultuous relationship. Many serious domestic incidents occurred between them, usually the result of serious drug use. His greatest fear was getting his act down pat. On this night, he rose to every chance stimulus, every interruption and noise and distraction, with a mad volleying of mental images that suggested the fantastic riches of Charlie Parker's horn. Like the Bird's, his show got gradually only worse.
ellauri256.html on line 391: Mayakovsky produced a large and diverse body of work during the course of his career: he wrote poems, wrote and directed plays, appeared in films, edited the art journal LEF, and produced agitprop posters in support of the Communist Party during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. Though Mayakovsky's work regularly demonstrated ideological and patriotic support for the ideology of the Bolsheviks and a strong admiration of Vladimir Lenin, his relationship with the Soviet state was always complex and often tumultuous. Mayakovsky often found himself engaged in confrontation with the increasing involvement of the Soviet state in cultural censorship and the development of the State doctrine of Socialist realism. Works that criticized or satirized aspects of the Soviet system, such as the poem "Talking With the Taxman About Poetry" (1926), and the plays The Bedbug (1929) and The Bathhouse (1929), met with scorn from the Soviet state and literary establishment. Majakovskin lehdykkä Lef teki pilkkaa serapioniveljistä. Ei ois kannattanut. Fedin pani sen hampaankoloon ja Zishtshov närkästyi.
ellauri476.html on line 133: ¹In George Sand's autobiographical novel Elle et lui (She and He, 1859), the main figures were fictionalized versions of herself, named Thérèse Jacques, and her tumultuous lover, the poet Alfred de Musset, represented as painter Laurent de Fauvel, depicting their passionate, difficult relationship and journey to Italy. When Alfred de Musset and George Sand met in 1833, Musset was 23 years old, and Sand was 29, making her a cougar six years his senior³, beginning their famous but tumultuous romance. The novel sparked controversy, leading to responses from Musset's brother and others, solidifying its basis in Sand's real-life affair with de Musset. Lui: Thérèse (George Sand): Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, a famous female novelist known for her strong personality and male pseudonym, representing Sand's artistic and emotional self. Il: Laurent (Alfred de Musset): A brilliant but tormented poet and dramatist whose passionate but destructive relationship with Sand became legendary in 19th-century French literature. Published two years after de Musset's death, Elle et lui was Sand's fictionalized account of their intense, often painful love affair, a well-known episode from her life. The novel's publication caused a stir, with many criticizing Sand for her portrayal of de Musset and their relationship. Alfred de Musset's brother published Lui et Elle (He and She) in response, defending his brother's memory, and the literary world became embroiled in debate. From their love at first sight to their tumultuous relationship involving excesses of all sorts, deceptions, baths and tears, the ...

ellauri483.html on line 92: Madame Tracy + Aziraphale and Shadwell are cruising on the scooter at about 4/5mph making the journey time to Tadfield about 5 hours. Aziraphale intervenes, and they whizz over the site of Crowley's earlier spectacle on the M25 to the bemusement of many soggy law enforcers. Newt and Anathema arrive at the airfield. Adam and the Them approach Tadfield military base. R. P. Tyler, a bit of a miserable old sod, gives the 4 horsebikers directions to the airbase. The Them pass him by on route there too, but they know a shortcut. Soon after Madame T, Aziraphale and Shadwell appear on the scooter asking Tyler about Adam Young. Finally Crowley's flaming Bentley. All our MC's are in place! Tyler goes to inform Mr. Young that Adam is up at the airbase whilst composing angry letters to the newspapers in his mind. The 4 horsebikers arrive feeling disappointed that the end of the world isn't quite as they imagined. They bamboozle the guard to get inside, but still it sets of the alarms. Newt and Anathema can hear them as they try to also get inside. Newt flashes his WA ID card to the guard monitoring the hole in the gate as Anathema threatens him with a gun stick. Simultaneously Madame T, Aziraphale and Shadwell are, unsuccessfully, trying to get past the guard of the front gate. Adam knows that he is likely to get the Them in trouble (again). He is fighting the tumultuous darkness in his mind. He needs a sword, a crown and some scales. They must find these things...or make do. Crowley joins Aziraphale and co. at the front gate just as the Them zip by. Aziraphale disappears the guard which makes Shadwell believe that his deadly gun finger weapon has, once again, saved the day. Once inside Adam magically puts some soldiers to sleep. Electricty the world over goes haywire. Death notes that the Anti-christ has arrived. The other horsepeople are changed, becoming less and less humanoid. Anathema and Newt were hidden in the same room to witness it. They are trying to disable the communications equipment, but it isn't going well for Newt. Death and the 3 horsebikers tell Adam "it is done", but Adam is not pleased. When they don't leave Adam orders the Them to attack using their own versions of the sword, balance and crown. Pepper and War go head to head, followed by Wensleyday and Famine, and Brian and Pollution. The children drive them back into the minds of men. Death reveals himself as Azrael. Adam has put a stop to it all. Azrael reminds the Them that the horsepeople are never far away before disappearing himself. Newt confesses to be an anti-computer engineer, and sure enough once he lays hands on the equipment it glitches out causing all electronics right themselves again. Our characters converge, and Metatron appears to them all followed closely by Beezlebub. They both believe Armageddon must happen! Adam makes some good points about why it is pointless. Beezlebub and Metatron want to stick by the Grand Plan but Crowley brings it into doubt. He realises that Adam is neither good nor evil incarnate. He was left alone by both sides, and as such has become human incarnate. Beezlebub and Metatron disappear to consult with their superiors.

xxx/ellauri128.html on line 639: As an undergraduate, Atkinson read Simone de Beauvoir´s The Second Sex, and struck up a correspondence with de Beauvoir, who suggested that she contact Betty Friedan. Atkinson became an early member of Friedan´s National Organization for Women. Atkinson´s time with the organization was tumultuous, including a row with the national leadership over her attempts to defend and promote Valerie Solanas and her SCUM Manifesto in the wake of the Andy Warhol shooting. In 1968 she left the organization because it would not confront issues like abortion and marriage inequalities. She founded the October 17th Movement, which later became The Feminists, a radical feminist group active until 1973. By 1971 she had written several pamphlets on feminism, was a member of the Daughters of Bilitis and was advocating specifically political lesbianism. "Sisterhood," Atkinson famously said, "is powerful. It kills mostly sisters." The Daughters of Bilitis / b ɪ ˈ l iː t ɪ s /, also called the DOB or the Daughters, was the first lesbian civil and political rights organization in the United States. Bilitis is not cholitis nor Kari Matihaldi disease, but a fictional companion of Sappho.
xxx/ellauri193.html on line 606: Eyvind Johnson’s The Days of His Grace is a historical novel, chronicling the lives of an extended family at the time of Charlemagne’s tumultuous reign. A sweeping saga always runs the risk of being too sweeping, but the novel’s only three hundred-something pages. Out of a possible ten points for literary genre, I give the not-overlong historical novel a seven.

xxx/ellauri261.html on line 227: Burden received only a two-year scholarship offered to women to attend the University of Chicago where she studsed frequently under Thornton Wilder and graduated in 1936. She and her husband David were married from 1940 to 1949. After the dissolution of their marriage, Jean met Alan Watts and they had a "four year, tumultuous love affair". Though ending badly, the union inspired Watts to call Jean in his autobiography (p. 297) an "important influence". Jean used Alan´s calligraphy and a quote from him (有水皆含月 : All the waters contain the moon) in her last major work, Taking Light from Each Other. She called him "one of the most fascinating men I have ever met, except Thornton was Wilder".
xxx/ellauri416.html on line 465: The Philistines were first recorded by others between 1185-1152 BCE. The Peleset, as they were called by the Egyptians, were first depicted as captives on a wall relief at Medinet Habu during the reign of Ramesses III. The Peleset were one of the several groups commonly referred to as the Sea People that were part of a serious of events that lead to the Bronze Age Collapse. The Egyptians identified ten ethnic groups as raiders and pirates that came ashore to plunder during this tumultuous time. The Peleset were one of those people. There were opportunistic mercenaries and desperate people willing to take on the greatness of Egypt, but it was probably more complex. There were certainly also refugees looking for safety.
