That should have been the end of Chekhova's story, with an executioner's bullet or-slow death in the Gulag as an epilogue. Olga Knipper is remembered first as Anton Chekhov's wife, and second as an actress of the Moscow Art Theatre. She impressed Goebbels (but did not sleep with him), was photographed next to Hitler, and was in Berlin when the Red Xrmy took the city. She left soon after the revolution for Germany (she was by blood 100 per cent German), where, despite her poor knowledge of the language, she rapidly became a film star. ![]() This connection, added to her ambition, stunning looks and minimal acting ability, got her onto the Russian stage and screen before the First world War. ![]() House Chekhov in Yalta, alley park, swings, sea.

It is the life of the actress's niece, another Olga Knipper, who had ten times her aunt's beauty, a tiny fraction of her talent, and an ability to manipulate, lie and survive which left everyone who met her - and will leave anyone who reads about her - flabbergasted. THIS IS NOT the story of Olga Knipper-Chekhova, the versatile actress who married Chekhov and survived him for fifty-five years. ![]() ![]() ![]() “We lie in the latitude of white squalls,” he said, a look of vexation on his face.

Shaped by the past, but – given 25-26 years have gone by – much has changed anyway. Having said that, I think you’ll be not-entirely-lost if you haven’t read its predecessor, as much of this novel is less about what happened in the past (even though it involves an investigation into a murder at the time), than it is about events unfolding in the present. I didn’t remember the details but (reading my old review and some others on Goodreads) helped remind me of the backstory. I think – in all honesty – it works better having read the original. I’ve not read all of Jewell’s books but had read that one and one of our narrators was offering a bit of a recap and I thought, “That sounds familiar…” before going onto Goodreads to discover this was – in fact – a follow-up. ![]() I hadn’t realised new release The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell was a sequel to the popular The Family Upstairs, published in 2019. ![]() ![]() Oz banks on the fact that they’re from two very different worlds to stop himself falling for Silas.

However, when he gets there he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy free as the day he left it. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home.

It seems like the exact point in time where, on social issues at least, the parties really did "trade places". It's a shame, then, that the Southern Strategy really did turn out to be a naked plea to American racists to crush black equality under the law. Perlstein played fair, and he gave the conservative characters in this book the platform that they deserved. ![]() The author did an excellent job of explaining how the American consensus came to pass in the wake of FDR's New Deal, and how durable it remained even as the conservative backlash boiled over in this time period. It spanned from the end of the Eisenhower administration to Goldwater's crushing defeat in 1964. Now for the content of the book it was, as I said, rigorously researched with a high resolution chronology. Even compared to the Gulag Archipelago, which was another dramatic performance, this narrator really nailed the passion of the author. ![]() ![]() He really drew out the emotion of the author.

However, this performance was inspired, with pitch perfect inflection.

Studying the various deviations from the stereotypes of everyday behavior, strange defects and malfunctions, as well as seemingly random errors, the author concludes that they indicate the underlying pathology of the psyche, the symptoms of psychoneurosis. A new English-language translation by Anthea Bell was published in 2003.Īmong the most overtly autobiographical of Freud's works, the Psychopathology was strongly linked by Freud to his relationship with Wilhelm Fliess. However, in such a popular and theory-light text, the sheer wealth of examples helped make Freud's point for him in an accessible way. James Strachey objected that "Almost the whole of the basic explanations and theories were already present in the earliest edition.the wealth of new examples interrupts and even confuses the mainstream of the underlying argument". It would receive twelve foreign translations during Freud's lifetime, as well as numerous new German editions, with fresh material being added in almost every one. The Psychopathology was originally published in the Monograph for Psychiatry and Neurology in 1901, before appearing in book form in 1904. Based on Freud's researches into slips and parapraxes from 1897 onwards, it became perhaps the best-known of all Freud's writings. ![]() Psychopathology of Everyday Life ( German: Zur Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens) is a 1901 work by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is the life and lunatic times of the great eccentric genius, Groucho, a.k.a.

His solo career included work as a film actor, television game show emcee, and author of The Groucho Letters, Memoirs of a Mangy Lover, and his classic autobiography, Groucho and Me. ![]() The “Me” in the title is a comparatively unknown Marx named Julius (1895-1977), who, under the nom de plume of Groucho, enjoyed a sensational career on Broadway and in Hollywood with such comedy classics as Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera, and A Day at the Races. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wi-Fi connection required for initial setup.
