Jill these truths5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is divided into four major parts, each chronicling the nation’s genesis. Lepore decidedly marks the United States’ origins within the Age of Discovery-particularly, Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus’s adventures on the island that the native Taíno called “Haiti,” and what Columbus called “Hispaniola,” or “little Spain.” Unlike many previous histories of the United States, Lepore frequently reminds the reader of the nation’s roots in dispossession, enslavement, colonialism, and the act of claiming both territory and authority through writing. The organization of These Truths is chronological. This guide uses the electronic book version of the text. ![]() Lepore’s other books include The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the Origins of American Identity (1998), winner of the Bancroft Prize Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin (2013), a finalist for the 2013 National Book Award for Nonfiction and her national bestseller, The Secret History of Wonder Woman (2014), which won the American History Book Prize. These Truths is the winner of the Council on Foreign Relations’ 2020 Arthur Ross Book Award. Since 2005, Lepore has been a staff writer for the New Yorker, writing mostly about American history. She is also an instructor at Harvard Law School. Lepore, the daughter of public school teachers, is the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University. ![]()

And the reader Glen McCready is excellent! His savory reading caught me from the opening scene, in which the lovesick newspaper reporter Malone woos his spoiled beloved Gladys but is rejected because she wants him to be a hero. The Lost World is a humorous, exciting, vivid, and well-written early example of the "lost world" sub-genre of science fiction, featuring intrepid (white) explorers whose adventures in inaccessible exotic locales become catalysts for violent and dramatic change. It all seems far removed from the world of Sherlock Holmes, and yet Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?s Professor Challenger (in his prodigious intelligence, great physical strength, cold scientific vision, and formidable pride) is nearly a wonderfully savory and funny caricature of the famous detective. Of course, some of those creatures are nightmarish predators, giant, strong, and fast, and there are other unpleasant surprises (ranging from huge ticks to brutal ape-men). Ah, the world is a wonderful place when you can enter a vast, isolated, inviolate plateau rising high from the Amazonian jungle wilds and then examine its unknown flora and fauna, discovering "extinct" dinosaurs from the Jurassic. ![]() |
