Now, that you mention it, Kevin, #CharlesDavin did have a big influence on me, too, though through his more-known work 😉

Once of these days, you need to explain to me why this mould was noteworthy, b/c I think penicillin was derived from another one. 😉

Darwin's treatise on worms was an excellent description of the scientific method and how to translate observations into conclusions not because of the tremendous discoveries or anything like penicillion.

When my daughter was in 2nd grade, she had the Greek legends on CD, and during the school breaks she would gather her friends around her and retell the stories she had listened to, the night before, to them.

She managed to get quite a fanbase.

Day 6 :

When I read "Pillars of the Earth," the added value for me was, apart from learning about that important period in #English history and being entertained, was learning about a major new architectural feat, the #Gothic , with lots of new vocabulary.

Book Cover:

"#KenFollet's
"PILLARS OF THE EARTH"

"...about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England. Set in the 12th century, the novel covers the time between the sinking of the White Ship and the murder of Thomas Becket, but focuses primarily on the Anarchy. The book traces the development of #Gothic architecture out of the preceding #Romanesque architecture, and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time."

Day 7:

Today, I was torn between going with the architectural theme from yesterday and a long-time word-class author.
I went for the latter, #JamesAMichener. Apart from a few autobiographic novels, he tells the story of a region from the perspective of a fictitious family, much like #PillarsOfTheEarth.
To pick but one,...#Hawaii

My choice for today's #BooksThatInfluencedYou is also one from James Michener. I just love how he does his deep history by following fictional families.

I've read a bunch of his and not sure which might be the one I'd highlight, but I will definitely choose this one considering that I think a lot of people talking about Israel would benefit from reading this.

— Мое? — торопливо отозвался арестованный, всем существом выражая готовность отвечать толково, не вызывать более гнева.

Прокуратор сказал негромко:

— Мое — мне известно. Не притворяйся более глупым, чем ты есть. Твое.

— Иешуа, — поспешно ответил арестант.

#AltText

Actually, these #ImageDescriptions are a great way to share your own perception of them with others, who might have a different "bias," giving them the chance to leave their respective bubbles by reflecting on their own visual impressions with yours.

So, #AltText is not "just" for the people with #VisionImpairments. 🤗

Though I would not agree with but one word, "foremost,"
you are right, it is a "360°" learning experience foreign everyone.
With regard to the writer it helps him/her sharpen their thoughts and it finetunes their expression skills.

So then you can't call it a "desert" island right? At this point it's more like a dessert island...🤣

You know, IDK where this "desert island" thing comes from in the US. In literature, it has always been a rather tropical one (above + Robinson Crusoe, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Jurassic Park, Lost, etc.).

However, "Dessert Island" has such a nice, ambivalent, hedonistic, yet potentially malicious ring to it. Mind if I register it? 😼

#TheLordOfTheFlies is scary and brilliant concurrently.
It "explains" indirectly rather well how atrocities like #Bucha, #October7, and the #GazaStrip are possible from an anthropological/ #psychological perspective.

There probably never was a #NobleSavage, as #Rousseau postulated.

The atrocities lie in the people themselves.
In the given power.
Often in a misguided and often deeply rooted view that is additionally fueled

Often not much is missing and even many small things taken together can become huge.
Many flies also make a large swarm.

Day 3

(1/2)

I can honestly say that the epic 7-volume of #MauriceDruon's 14th century #France saga of #TheAccursedKings (#LesRoisMaudits) didn’t only influence #GeorgeRRMartin in writing the fantasy series*, #GameOfThrones, but also me.

For one thing, it had been a long time since...

...I'd read 📚 novels in French (quite a feat for me, as I didn't know many historical terms in other languages either, but it also greatly enhanced my understanding of #medieval #European history, in particular the rivalry between #France and #England.

And, boy, it was a page-turner, too!

@mina OK, so I'm married to a publisher, so I have picked up some of how they operate.

A particular, specific, book is aimed at a particular, specific, market. The same author may well write other stuff in other ways for other markets.

And then the punter has a choice of what to buy and read.

@Ash

Kevin Leecaster 5 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@TimWardCam @mina
Yes, and the publisher has to make a living in order to get books printed and out to the public as well as the benefit of getting the information out to as wide an audience as possible.

There is no need to apologize for anyone.
Looking at the sales figures of "lighter entertainment, " such as romance novels, it is evident that they have an audience, too.

When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of comic books. I would still like to have superpowers at times, but that has never come to pass, so the influence seems to have not been really significant. 😉

This book (or rather the original edition - bet you can’t guess where that is 😆 ) was the first proper fantasy book I read. My parents bought it me when I was about 13 (dates & me don’t gel so all dates to be taken with a decent error margin)

It opened new worlds to me!

HI my lovely Anthony

So I do not feel so alone anymore 😆 😘

Then at some point the hashtag...

how many books do you have unread on your shelf
or
which books do you really want to read and they are already waiting for you

I think that would be long hashtags....😆

Day 10:
I read #RayBradbury's #dystopian #Fahrenheit451--the temperature at which books burn--as a high school senior. Never would I have thought that one day it could become true. Actually, we already live in the kind of #SurveillanceState envisioned, in many countries.

Some days, I could just jump off a cliff.

This reality is fast becoming an amalgamate of all the negative #utopias I read years ago:

#1984,
#Fahrenheit451,
#TheMatrix,
#SecondVariety,
#Wargames, #TheCompleteRobot, #Terminator including its #Skynet,
#Robocop,
#DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep? (#Bladerunner),
and
#TheHandMaidsTale.
Hopefully, we are not also heading for #TheMinorityReport already (#AGI?)

These are only the ones out of the top of my head.

I have been looking with increasing dismay at the political situation in the #US: they are a #DemocracyInChains, a book by historian #NancyMcLean.

It's on my bucket list, too.

Despite everything, the US is still by far the world's most important and most powerful country, so what happens there, concerns us all.

The author Annika Brockschmidt has also written excellent books about the fight of the Christian Right against US democracy.

I also love to listen to Leeja Miller, a US lawyer with a YouTube channel.

Actually, yes.
#SciFi authors are dangerous--for (would-be) totalitarian rulers like Putin or Trump, because they show what can (or has already) happened.

Oh, and sometimes the authors are a think-tank collective writing non-fiction, such as the #HeritageFoundation with the takeover agenda of #Project2025:

Day 13:

Today, I'm recommending another book by #JamesClavel, #TaiPan.
It is the second book in #Clavel's fantastic #AsianSaga.

It describes the rivalry of two English merchant families + their rise 2 power against the well-researched background of the #OpiumWars + #Hongkong's early colonial history.
It 1st got me interested in 🇨🇳.

I can only second your statement "Read first, watch later!"

This is possibly my favourite #SciFi saga.

Besides all the important topics, Herbert touches, this is a true novel (series of novels) in the sense that we embark into a voyage into unknown waters, together with the story's characters.

I totally agree. It is totally fine to learn history from historic novels, as long as you are aware that the writer will take their liberties when it comes to details.

However: All history is, in the end, story telling. So, the separating line between history and historic fiction is quite a blurry one.

Es ist halt eine Legende, wie Robin Hood.

Was natürlich wahr ist, dass die Schweizer in der Zeit (13./14. Jahrhundert) begannen, sich gegen die Ausbeutung durch die Habsburger zusammenzuschließen.

@jeztastic @bookstodon @Neireh Historisch belegbar ist die Ausdehnung des Berner Machtraums, und den haben die nicht mit Pralinen errungen, sondern mit modernen Kriegswaffen.

Dabei war die Geschichtsschreibung zum Erzeugen eines gemeinsamen Narrativs unentbehrlich. Die Hauptfeinde waren zunächst die angrenzenden Burgunder, bis die durch Heirat Habsburger wurden.

Tatsächlich wählte Luther in seiner Bibelübersetzung den Titel "Statthalter". Damit liegt man immer richtig.

Für jemanden, der Bulgakow übersetzt, geht es, denke ich, allerdings nicht darum, die Verhältnisse in der Antike korrekt darzustellen, sondern darum, das sprachliche Kolorit des Jahres 1928 einzufangen.

Insofern wäre die beste Übersetzung die, welche damals auf Deutsch verwendet wurde, wenn man denn einen lateinischen Begriff verwenden will.

Also: Prokurator
