Rocklyn skillfully weaved this story in so few words, it's hard to believe. Is she a queen or a peon? You'll have to read this to find out! Pregnant on an ark, seventeen hundred forty three days at sea, this is the story of Iraxi. It's been two days since I finished this novella and I still don't know what to say. I do highly recommend the audio for this one, as the narrator's voice is completely enchanting! I am really happy I had the opportunity to check this one out. Thank you so much to the publisher, Dreamscape Media, for providing me with an Audio-ARC to listen to and review. Rocklyn hopefully at some point in a longer format, so I can really settle into their style and ideas. It's a lot.Ī story set at sea, with a sea creature aspect, this is an intriguing premise and the writing shows so much promise. Iraxi's emotions take center stage as she works through anger, pain, revenge and motherhood.

For me, this reading experience was very similar to my time spent with The Deep by Rivers Solomon. He died having been denounced by his homeland and is lesser known nowadays due to his sympathetic association to the Nazi party during WWII. When I read him about a decade ago I really enjoyed his work but now, writing this in 2019, I am less willing to overlook the misogyny in his work and his troubled history late in life. Hamsun is a difficult one to grapple with. Plunging into the existential mysteries of the human heart and soul, Hamsun pens some of his most memorable characters while keeping the reader forever pondering the truth behind the abundant mysteries. Written in 1892, just 2 years following Hunger, this novel once again demonstrates Hamsun’s signature frantic yet serene prose while showcasing Hamsun as a Modernist far ahead of his time and a master of the ‘psychological novel’. It is no surprise that Henry Miller claimed that Mysteries was ’closer to me than any book I have read,’ this novel is so probing and insightful that you feel it begin to pick your own mind as the pages churn by. Hamsun’s aptly named second novel, Mysteries, is a dazzling, dark look into human nature and man’s psyche. “The day he sent me a cable to say it had been published for 15 guineas really was the best moment of my life. “While in Ceylon I wrote a short story, and my father submitted it to Woman and Home magazine,” she told The Western Morning News of Plymouth, England, in 2013.

Amazon, Audible, Audiobook, Barnes & Noble, Apple Closer inspection, however, reveals cracks in the foundations of Rawls’s theory of justice. There is little mystery as to why, then, Rawls has proven popular, particularly among progressively-minded philosophers. Those of us who believe strongly in liberal principles of democratic safeguards and the protection of rights are likely to be taken, and even convinced, by what Rawls has to offer. Instead, Rawls asserts that the most advantaged-whether their advantages are due to wealth, genetics, inherent talent, what have you-must contribute their gifts in a way that will most benefit the least advantaged. He maintains that mere equality of access to opportunity is not enough to achieve fairness, nor is a simple social safety-net to help the least advantaged. He uses a sophisticated or convoluted, depending on one’s interpretation, thought experiment to get to his essential thesis. John Rawls, in his philosophical work, A Theory of Justice, attempts to address issues of fairness and argues for a liberal democratic welfare state.
