Solon laid the foundation for a democratic system of justice through the first of a series of constitutions that gave birth to democracy. Athens wanted peace and order, and turned to the man who had communicated his vision of social order and the need for justice through his poetry. Poet, philosopher, soldier, merchant, practical economist as well as social critic he came to power in revolutionary times with a mission to put an end to the cycles of retaliatory violence that had plagued Greece for centuries. Justice as we know it dates back to sixth century B.C. Our western legal system evolved from the need to tame wild justice that was tearing apart early civilization. "Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed out for the first wrong, it doth offend the law,īut the revenge of that wrong, putteth the law out of office."

With this novel has unified the many themes of his earlier work-pure supernaturalism exploration of social and domestic trauma chilling portrayal of psychosis-in a seamless fusion."What I said about how Nazareth Hill would satisfy? The years gone by have not changed my opinion about that. Joshi, award-winning scholar of weird fiction, wrote in Necrofile, " Nazareth Hill will not be long in taking rank as one of the finest haunted house novels in literature, rivaling even Shirley Jackson's masterful Haunting of Hill House. This perfectly constructed, richly terrifying novel will satisfy even those readers who've been reluctant about Ramsey Campbell. ![]() ![]() Sixteen-year-old Amy struggles to decipher the messages-while her father becomes increasingly dictatorial, fanatical, and monstrous. I'll start my review with an old review, one I wrote in 1997 when this novel first came out in the US: "Must survive until they take me from this place." Scribbled in the margins of an ancient, moldy Bible, found wedged between the roots of a tree, is the truth about what Nazarill (now a luxury apartment building) once was, centuries ago-when it was Nazareth Hill. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Little Book of Little Activists is a child's very first introduction to political activism, presented at a level that they can understand and relate to.

There is a lot of emotions and powerful character sensitivity throughout this book. And the day Molly is rushed to the hospital, Meg has to accept that there is something terribly wrong with her sister. But Molly’s constant grouchiness, changing appearance, and other complaints are not just part of a new mood. Just as the sisters begin to adjust to their new home, Meg feels that Molly is starting up again by being a real nuisance. The two of them couldn’t be more different, and it’s hard for Meg to hide her resentment of Molly’s beauty and easy popularity. ![]() Meg isn’t thrilled when she gets stuck sharing a bedroom with her older sister Molly.

I hate to say it, but I'd almost rather watch one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's worthy wildlife docs. It's superficial, one-dimensional, like one of those adverts you see on TV in foreign hotels extolling the virtues of this or that tourist destination. And though the footage shows us a lot, it actually tells us very little about the Waleses. ![]() ![]() There is an element of Netflix-style narcissism that makes me slightly uneasy.
