![]() ![]() ![]() For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books.

It was that spire which caught fire and crashed down before the cameras of the world in the evening of April 15. Viollet-le-Duc had a copy made and placed on the roof. The original medieval spire had been removed as unsafe before the revolution. The French government agreed to a massive restoration plan under the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Revolutionary leaders had transformed it into a "Temple of Reason," and much of its religious statuary had been smashed. He called it a "vast symphony in stone" as "powerful and fecund as the divine creation."Ĭonstruction on the "symphonic" building began in 1163, but the cathedral fell into deep disrepair after the French Revolution of 1789. One of Hugo's goals in writing the book was to rekindle interest in the cathedral so it could be restored. No, not a description of the fire which ravaged Notre-Dame in April 2019, but a fictional fire - art foreshadowing life - in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, published by Victor Hugo in 1831. On the crest of the highest gallery, higher than the central rose window, there was a great flame rising between the two towers with whirlwinds of sparks, a vast, disordered and furious flame, a tongue of which was borne into the smoke by the wind. ![]() ![]() ![]() But will she and Weevil survive the Scourge-and the gorvernor’s wardens-long enough to make their escape and expose the cruel plan?īook Links: Amazon | B&N | Book Depository | Goodreads | Publisher ![]() ![]() She’s been caught in a devious plot, and, with the help of her best friend, Weevil, Ani means to uncover just what is actually going on.

It was territory controlled by England following the French and Indian Wars. For reasons I hope to illuminate in this review, I am extremely glad that I chose to read "The Pioneers."Īlthough most Americans do not realize it, the huge territory, virtually 20% of the continental United States, was not part of the Louisiana Purchase. I chose to read his history entitled "The Pioneers" because it covered a part of American history about which I felt deficient, the establishment and settlement of the Northwest Territory that totally encompasses the states of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. ![]() David McCullough is the dean of American historians with such noteworthy works, as "1776," "The Great Bridge", and "The Johnstown Flood."
