Instead, here was a pretty single-volume collection with a creamy cover illustration and a lively Introduction by Betty Ballantine laying out the general story of how this great work by Evangeline Wilna Ensley (1907-1996) was discovered and brought before the public. The Mabinogion Tetralogy by Evangeline WaltonOverlook Press, 2012Those of us who've been recommending Evangeline Walton's epic "Mabinogion" quartet of fantasy novels since the 1970s had ample cause to rejoice back in 2002 when Overlook Press issued the whole thing in one sturdy hardcover volume. ![]() ![]() In addition to the spirited woman at the center of the story, there are also her extraordinary family and a cast of memorable minor characters. There is extensive correspondence concerning the publishing rights to Life in Mexico. From all that can be discovered about her, she emerges as a person of high abilities, energy, and nerve. Collection includes autograph manuscript letters from Angel Calderón de la Barca, Frances Erskine Inglis Calderón de la Barca, Carlisle Calderon, Mary Howe, Walter Bruce Howe, and many other family members. Sometimes her trenchant commentary on people and places flared into newspaper controversy. But her books tell nothing about the greater part of her far-ranging career, which led through a half-dozen countries in response to bankruptcy, extortion, marriage, diplomacy, and revolution.įor this colorful biography the authors have drawn from many sources, including contemporary memoirs, diaries, and numerous letters by and about Madame Calderón. During her life she was a teacher, legation hostess, and successful author, remembered now for her travel classic Life in Mexico and semi-fictional The Attaché in Madrid. As the Marquesa de Calderón de la Barca, she died in Madrid's Royal Palace in 1882. ![]() Frances Erskine Inglis, daughter of a prominent lawyer and Freemason, was born in Edinburgh in 1804. ![]() ![]() “I denied climate change for longer than I care to admit,” she writes. In her telling, she was, until just five years ago, a complete naif about climate change. Manifestoes are often most powerful if the author plays a role in them, so this perhaps explains why Klein includes a problematic introductory section that frames the entire book as a Saul-to-Damascus story of her own coming to grips with climate change. ![]() Citing the Harvard sociologist Theda Skocpol, Klein argues that the “major barrier to success” in climate change has been the “absence of a mass movement applying pressure from below.”īut while the book is a symphonic synthesis of ideas and polemic, of reportage and activism, and a bracing call to action, it is not only unlikely to spark a new global movement against carbon, but capitalism, too. The book is a manifesto-a single-handed attempt to galvanize the world to take to the streets. Especially because she wants to change the world with this book. But we’re talking about Naomi Klein, author of the bestsellers No Logo and The Shock Doctrine-so these rankings matter a lot more. ![]() For most authors, just getting on any bestseller list would be a huge victory. ![]() 14 on The New York Times bestseller list.

He planned to travel to the Amazon River, in South America, to make a fortune growing cocoa. He then rejoined Orion in the newspaper business, this time in Keokuk, Iowa.
