In other words, Athenian statesmen averted a social revolution by successfully carrying through an economic and political revolution and, discovering this solution of the common problem in so far as it affected themselves, they incidentally opened up a new avenue of advance for the whole of the Hellenic Society. She specialized her agricultural production for export, started manufactures also for export, and then developed her political institutions so as to give a fair share of political power to the new classes which had been called into being by these economic innovations. In order to meet this situation Spartan statesmen were compelled to militarize Spartan life from top to bottom, which they did by re-invigorating and adapting certain primitive social institutions, common to a number of Greek communities, at a moment when, at Sparta as elsewhere, these institutions were on the point of disappearance.Īthens reacted to the population problem in a different way again. The consequence was that Sparta only obtained her additional lands at the cost of obstinate and repeated wars with neighbouring peoples of her own calibre.

What would Christmas be without A Christmas Carol?

However, I try very hard not to give anything away that doesn't have to do with chapters already read. Though I've taken efforts to hide any spoilers, I worry that pausing after each chapter and reading my annotation would slow the reading process down and make the book less enjoyable. Ideally, I think these would be best read by someone who has completed the entire novel-used as a companion, perhaps, during someone's second read-through. They give a lot of 'behind the scenes' information relating to the writing process, the concepts and characters of ELANTRIS, and whatever else I was thinking about at the time! The following are a series of short commentaries I wrote, each one individually linked to a specific chapter, page, or section in ELANTRIS. Welcome to the ELANTRIS Annotations section! Worse yet, the main players never convincingly explain why they’ve so fervently chosen one side over the other. “Civil War” suffers from being tonally morose, from beginning to end, and lacks the levity necessary to make for an enjoyable read. What fun is to be had in seeing husbands and wives or longtime friends at complete odds with one another? Sure, this ought to be a pretty unhappy event for heroes of the Marvel U. This new legislation would make it a law to have all heroes register with S.H.I.E.L.D., thus becoming paid civil servants and making their secret identities known to the long arm of the law. Well, duh, right? After all, this book sees the heroes of the Marvel Universe at complete odds over the passage of a Superhuman Registration Act. The problem is that “Civil War” turns out to be a pretty joyless experience. The question is interesting and writer Mark Millar makes it easy to believe why the general public would have had enough of superheroes who seemingly answer to no one. The Avengers probably don’t consider Kang’s due process when they’re foiling one of his plans to muddle the time stream. “Civil War” confronts the heaviest hitters of the Marvel Universe with a simple question: do normal folks want to be protected by costumed vigilantes who work outside the law? After all, nobody has licensed Spider-Man to protect the city from Doc Ock, the Green Goblin or Kraven the Hunter. As bad as things get from the outset of “Civil War”, they’re going to get even worse. "very square inch of this book is a treat.

One day, I was sitting in the lobby of a private school, waiting to do a talk, when I saw a yearbook on the table beside me. I had a couple of ideas kicking around in my head, some things I knew I wanted to do, but nothing concrete just yet. It was the fall of 2004, and I was about to start a new book. Other times, though, you can trace a story’s beginning back to a specific moment. The truth is, sometimes I don’t even know: rather than just one big moment, it’s often a lot of little random thoughts, scribbled notes on scraps of paper and backs of receipts, that make up a novel. People are always interested to learn where a story comes from, and I’m often asked where I get the ideas for my books. The finely nuanced characters she creates have life and breath, talents and flaws. Aimed at high schoolers, it has Mom appeal too.ĭessen is a sharp observer of modern teen life.
