The episode is faintly ridiculous and does not make Metternich seem loveable. While the authorities scrambled to lay hands on him, the wily Hofmann fled the concert and went into hiding before he could be arrested. He had become a spy for the French government and was busily gathering information on British military strength. But Metternich made such a fuss about his discovery, gesticulating and pointing, that Hofmann realized he was in danger. Hofmann had been a raging radical and supporter of the French Revolution at the University of Mainz, where he had taught the young Metternich philosophy and natural law a couple of years earlier. As it happened (though Metternich did not know this), Hofmann was by 1794 a genuine danger to his host country. The charge was true, though by itself it hardly seems a sufficient reason for spoiling a perfectly good musical evening. Rather than renewing old acquaintance, the future Prince of Diplomats immediately denounced Hofmann to the authorities as a dangerous subversive. In the midst of a Haydn concert in London in June 1794, the young Clemens von Metternich spotted his one-time teacher, Andreas Hofmann, in the audience. Focusing on that fantastical language, we promote a comparative analysis of the differing perspectives of the novella writer and the filmmakers regarding the free will and determinism dichotomy in connection with foreknowledge, and how these distinct views may have been influenced by the adaptation process. Innovative as it is, it not only determines the way the stories are recounted, but also raises some very interesting philosophical issues. Ted Chiang’s Story of Your Life (1998) and its filmic adaptation Arrival (2016) both use Heptapod B, an artificial language from extra-terrestrial origin, capable of conferring on its speakers the ability of precognition, as a primordial narrative framework. I won't have access to the full paper for a while, but in principle I should be able to at least understand the sentences of the abstract before diving in to the full paper. Israel Noletto and Sebastião Lopes's JHeptapod B and the Paradox of Foreknowledge: Confronting Literature and its Filmic Adaptation in Arcadia is already challenging for me to read and understand. Friedman describes the video, now a familiar type, as having been "fresh and gripping" in 1994, and, arguably, the first of what would soon become an enormous wave of "terror selfies" aimed at projecting the illusion of Islamist military victory. Hezbollah claimed to have captured the outpost and “purified it of Zionists,” and the video caused a brief but anguished public discussion in Israel over the preparedness of the military. It appears to show Hezbollah jihadis capturing an Israeli military position and planting a flag to symbolize victory. But the Hezbollah fighters shot a short, blurry video, which, with a soundtrack of gunfire and martial music, went viral. The attack was brief Hezbollah fighters killed one Israeli soldier and wounded 2 others before withdrawing. Friedman served at the outpost 3 years after the incident.

Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story, is a 2016 book by journalist Matti Friedman, published by Algonquin. Maybe because I’ve read both Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything and Dan Brown’s Deception Point recently. But there’s a sudden twist in the very last sentence, and I even saw that coming from a little way out. Overall, I think anyone who reads the back cover has a good idea what’s going to happen. I was pretty conflicted about who the bad guys and good guys were. I could have done without a lot of the day-to-day engineering feats they pulled off. This was an odd mixture of a book that I couldn’t put down and a book that felt like it was creeping along. Without Chile’s government officials finding out about it. It’s only been about a week since I read this book, but I’m already hazy on the details, so this will be vague.īasically, this super-rich guy hires an engineering firm with a perfect record of doing the “impossible” to extract a meteorite from the ground of a Chilean island off of Cape Horn.
