It is through work that man (homo faber) transforms raw materials into tools and creates the human world we live in. Work includes all those activities by which physical products are produced. Labor refers to the actions required to meet the unceasing need to satisfy our bodily needs. ![]() She considers that this way of categorising human actions is important to understanding the way that modern life has developed and seeks to describe each one as fully as possible. In her view the western intellectual tradition hasfailed to take proper account of the distinctions between the three activities. She distinguishes three forms of activity fundamental to our lives –labor, work and action. In ‘The Human Condition’ (1958) Hannah Arendt presents a picture of what it is to be human based on the activities that we humans undertake. ![]()

Their attributes and behaviours are fundamentally shaped by the kind of magic they use so if you believe in the characters, it’s inevitable that the magic will feel real. ![]() I realised as I read ‘Fair Game’ that one of the things that make the magic so convincing is that it emerges from the characters themselves. She also has a highly developed magic system in her books. One of the things that draw me to Patricia Briggs’ books is how well she draws characters. ![]() It was good to see Charles’ vulnerable side for once and I enjoyed watching the FBI trying to figure out how someone as small and young and unthreatening as Anna having authority over the very-intimidating-to-be-with Charles. The Marrok puts Anna in charge and sends Charles as her escort He sends Anna and Charles to Boston to collaborate with the FBI in hunting a serial killer whose targets are known to have included werewolves. To ease the pressure, the Marrok gives Charles the opportunity to be a good guy for a change. This book starts by looking at the burden Charles carries for being the Marrok’s enforcer in a time when greater than normal discipline is needed because the werewolves have just publicly declared themselves. The last book, ‘Hunting Ground‘established Anna in a stable relationship with Charles.

That story culminates in The Dark Tower: The Battle of Jericho Hill, which chronicles the titular battle that destroys the kingdom of Gilead and sparks Roland's quest for the Dark Tower. That initial series was followed up by four more comic book miniseries that continue where the flashback leaves off and explore more of Roland's formative years. Basically an adaptation of the flashback portion of Wizard and Glass, The Gunslinger Born helps visualize a world that previously only existed in prose form and in a handful of painted illustrations. Marvel Comics first journeyed into this universe with 2007's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. Both the Dark Tower comics and the live-action movie are worth consuming as companions to the novels. The Dark Tower saga may be rooted in the prose world, but it's also expanded into other media in recent years. ![]() Bid time return richard matheson6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() A young couple is visited by a stranger who tells them they’ll be rich if they just push a button that will instantly kill someone they don’t know (“Button, Button,” The Twilight Zone).
