If you have read Red Sister, and Grey well, Sister read on. If you haven’t read Red Sister and are on the fence, here is my review. So, if you haven’t read Red Sister yet, and have any intention of doing so. I think myself lucky, the library could have not had it in the catalogue – it is possible I could have waited weeks. And then I found the sequel, Grey Sister in the library and had to wait until it became available. I loved Nona, and Ara, and Sister Kettle and Sister Apple and how Nona learns how to control her powers and how Kettle teaches her to read (Just All Of It). I tore through the first book, and fell completely into the world of a planet of narrowing ice, warrior nuns with magical powers and a young girl with murder in her veins. *There will be spoilers* About two weeks ago, I picked up Red Sister by Mark Lawrence with a bit of a shrug and a “why not?” mentality.

The name was Signorelli, but instead Freud recalled Botticelli and Boltraffio. Freud struggled to remember the name of a master who made frescoes of the Last Judgement in the Orvieto Cathedral in Italy. Despite the then current psychological interpretations that these are only accidents because both the words and names sound similar, Freud felt there was more to explore. “There is no doubt that there are cases of name-forgetting that proceed in a much simpler way…besides the simple forgetting of proper names, there is another forgetting which is motivated by repression.” Freud recounts a detailed analysis of a conversation with a stranger on a holiday trip from Ragusa, modern day Dubrovnik, to a small town near Herzegovina. Signorelli, Botticelli, and Boltraffio.įreud begins by looking at the forgetting of words including names, and their sometimes incorrect recall. These he called Parapraxes.ĭespite criticisms from psychologists, his book became popular and was his first vehicle to spread ideas of psychoanalysis to a wider audience. In this instance he chose to examine his forgetfulness, bungled intentions, and slips of the tongue, that so many of us suffer on a daily basis.

Taken together, these tales of heroes and stirring deeds depict a Celtic vision of enchantment and romance that moves effortlessly between the physical landscape of Wales and the Celtic underworld. Aside from these four branches there are another 8 individual tales in the British and French style. The Mabonogi (the name means alternately "a story for children" or "a bard's tale" depending on whose translation you prefer) are comprised of four branches, entitled "Pwyll", "Branwen", Manawydan", and "Math". Even then they remained largely unknown outside (and even inside) Wales until Lady Charlotte Guest translated them in 1849. Later versions were written down in the White Book of Rhydderch (now in the Welsh National Library) and the Red Book of Hergest (now preserved at Oxford University). They were passed from one bard to another until anonymously collated in the 12th century. The Mabinogion is not one myth but a collection of stories gleaned from the traditions of Welsh bards and storytellers over many centuries.

With lively wit and wry humour, astrophysicist Katie Mack takes us on a mind-bending tour through each of the cosmos' possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce.
