It is presented here in an excellent English translation by A. Published a few years after Freud's breakthrough work, The Interpretation of Dreams, the present volume is not only an acutely perceptive psychological study, its lighthearted tone and abundant store of jokes and witticism make it one of the most accessible and enjoyable of Freud's works. ![]() With characteristic insight and intelligence he shows that wit, although it belongs to aesthetics, is subject to the same laws, shares the same mechanism and serves the same tendencies as neuroses, dreams and psychopathological acts. In Freud's hands, however, the study of wit became another avenue of investigation into the psyche. Until the publication of this important study, the literature on which was insubstantial those investigations that existed tended to neglect wit in favor of the larger, more general area of the comic. First analyzing the techniques and tendencies of wit, the great analyst probes the origins of wit in the "pleasure mechanism." He then discusses the motives of wit, wit as a social process, the relation of wit to dreams and the unconscious, and wit and the various forms of the comic. ![]() Renowned as the father of psychoanalysis, Freud was uniquely qualified to write this fascinating exploration of the nature of wit - including jokes and joking - and its role and function as a manifestation and vehicle of unconscious impulses. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like many of Hawthorne’s works, central to “The Marble Faun” are the themes of guilt, the fall of mankind, and man’s banishment from the Garden of Eden. Miriam’s strange and perhaps unseemly past is contrasted to the pure and honorable Hilda, who attracts the attention of Kenyon, a rationale and talented artist smart enough to see past Miriam’s beauty to Hilda’s good qualities. Donatello is in love with Miriam, who is continuously pursued and threatened by a shadowy evil genius who wishes her harm. Published shortly before the beginning of the American Civil War, it is a romantic and fantastical tale set in an imagined Italy and revolves around the love lives of the four main characters: Miriam, a beautiful and mysterious painter Hilda, an innocent and morally upright copyist Kenyon, a gifted sculptor and Donatello, the distinguished Count of Monti Beni.

I have been recommending this series since I read Red Rising, but now that I’ve officially concluded the story, I can say with 100% confidence THAT YOU NEED TO READ THIS SERIES ALREADY IN FACT WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS POST BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE READING THE SERIES. So I have finally finished Morning Starby Pierce Brown, the MOST FREAKING EPIC EVER conclusion to the Red Rising Series. ![]() ![]() But Chambers pushes further, as she is wont to do.

Like my other love Station Eleven, we trail several point of view characters over a period of time. They’ve found it now, but many have chosen to continue living on the ships as they orbit a star granted to them by other members of the Galactic Commons while some have taken off for life planetside or on smaller, individual ships. Chambers tells the story of the Exodus fleet, the homesteader ships that left Earth centuries ago in search of a new home for humans.

The submarine, named Proteus, is then miniaturized to "about the size of a microbe", and injected into Benes. Peter Duval (Kennedy), and his assistant Cora Peterson (Welch) are placed aboard a Navy submarine (originally designed to study the deep-sea spawning habits of fish) at the Combined Miniature Deterrent Forces facilities.

Jan Benes (Jean Del Val), working behind the Iron Curtain, has figured out how to make the process work indefinitely. A 50% reduction, say, could be maintained for many days, but a reduction to microbial size could last for only an hour.) (The novel stated that the duration of miniaturization is inversely proportional to its degree. The United States and the Soviet Union have both developed technology that can miniaturize matter by shrinking individual atoms, but only for one hour. ![]() |
