![]() ![]() Now, as the town teeters on the edge of decline, the old rituals have been forgotten and the mists are rolling in.And in the mist, something is stirring. by Lisa Tuttle ( 11 ) 7.99 From the critically acclaimed author of The Mysteries comes a haunting, lyrical, and provocative novel of a young woman’s coming-of-age betwixt dream and reality. The apple is part of a legend, promising either eternal happiness to the young couple who eat from it secure in their love - or a curse, for those who take its gift for granted. The silver bough by Lisa Tuttle, 2012, Jo Fletcher edition, in English. But in a hidden orchard a golden apple dangles from a silver bough, an apple believed lost for ever. ![]() Though it was once famous for the apples it produced, these days it's a shadow of its former self. The award-winning author of The Mysteries returns with another captivating novel in which modern-day enigmas and age-old myths come together with spellbinding results. ![]() 'Lisa Tuttle is a subtle and clever writer whose fantasy deals with the world we all believe we have sensed from time to time out of the corners of our eyes.'

Haupt, who lives in Seattle, is the author of several books, including Crow Planet, The Urban Bestiary, and Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds. The book offers a blend of natural history, biography, and personal memoir. Despite knowing that starlings are reviled by even the most compassionate conservationists for being a nonnative, invasive species, Haupt found herself enchanted by the same intelligence and playful spirit that had charmed Mozart. More than two centuries later, Haupt rescued a baby starling of her own. The bird served as his companion, distraction, consolation, and muse. In 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart adopted a little starling as the family pet. ![]() Author and naturalist Lyanda Lynn Haupt joins us to read from her newest book, Mozart’s Starling, on Tuesday, June 20 th, at 7 pm. ![]() ![]() It deforms and dehistoricises the original connection between the signifier and the signified. Myth also has the character of making “itself look neutral and innocent” -it “naturalises the concept and transforms history into nature’. ![]() Myth is a type of speech defined more by its intention than its literal sense. The structure of myth repeats the tridimensional pattern, in that myth is a second order signifying system with the sign of the first order signifying system as its signifier. Barthes considers myth as a mode of signification, a language that takes over reality. In Mythologies (1957) Barthes undertook an ideological critique of various products of mass bourgeoise culture such as soap, advertisement, images of Rome, in an attempt to discover the “universal” nature behind this. ![]() Differing from the Saussurean view that the connection between the signifier and signified is arbitrary, Barthes argued that this connection, which is an act of signification, is the result of collective contract, and over a period of time, the connection becomes naturalised. ![]() ![]() Twelve years of UFO/ extraterrestrial research dating from 1986 to 1998 conducted by Dolores Cannon. ![]() Dolores 1931 The Custodians/ by Dolores Cannon Investigations through hypnotherapy of suspected alien abduction cases.

I could praise this book in many ways, including its masterful use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, the depth of its descriptions, or the lavish beauty of its prose, but these merits have been highlighted by many other readers before me. ![]() Fortunately, I had not seen the movie and I knew very little of the novel’s plot, so I was able to enjoy the narrative in its purest, with no spoilers or outlandish expectations (with the exception of the ideas discussed by Jim Collins in his discussion of the movie adaptation).
