About this deal

The classics were sometimes profoundly critical of their world and ours. I admire the clarity with which Euripides discards the glitter of legend to denounce the widespread brutality. During wartime, he dared to take the side of the women instead of the men, the enemy instead of his compatriots, and the losers instead of the winners. Over time, Hecuba has spoken anew in the name of the victims, before we could begin to forget. After deescalating the situation, the pilgrims and the Wampanoag feasted together, though historical texts don't indicate what they might have eaten besides deer hunted by the Wampanoag, as Peters writes in an introduction to "Of Plimoth Plantation."

Whetstone emphasized that, as Indigenous peoples are not a monolith, many will have different opinions and relationships to the day. I feel foolish every time I say it: Pokémon card,” Bowen said before sending Oudomsine to prison for three years. But her wonder was squashed when a classmate asked what happened to those friendly Indians after Thanksgiving.Prue Leith is a judge on The Great British Bake Off. Her one-woman show, Nothing in Moderation, is on tour now. There wasn't an invitation extended to invite the Wampanoag to come and feast with them," she said. "It was really quite by accident, that there were any shared festivities at all." On 23 April, a day in which Sant Jordi is celebrated in Catalonia (the day of the book and the rose), I recommended the following book to a person during a conversation: The Four Agreements: A Toltec Wisdom Book by Miguel Ruiz. It is a book that I read more than 15 years ago. It helped me a lot because it made me aware of things that were not working quite well in my life and allowed me to change and my perspective. For me, it was and still is a very powerful book. It is easy to understand, although not easy to apply. The good thing is that it has no age and that it goes directly to its essence with clarity. We know that there are no miracle recipes, but at least for me, trying to put some of these agreements into practice helped me transform things at an individual level. In some way, each of us is seeking our own path, and I believe that it is through the sum of individual changes and shared efforts that we can achieve a more global collective change. Hearing the blasts, the Wampanoag thought it was a threat. The supreme leader Massasoit Ousamequin assembled a small army of approximately 90 warriors and approached the settlement, much to the surprise of the pilgrims.

We need a revolution. It begins with falling in love with the Earth again,” writes the Vietnamese peace activist and Buddhist master Thích Nhát Hanh in Love Letter to the Earth, a slim, powerful book that should be a new Bible. In a series of beautifully written letters toMother Earth, suggested practices for the appreciation of all living things including oneself, and other “healing steps”, Hanh has given us a practical, spiritual, poetic and life-saving guide to how to fall in love again. He explains “there is no difference between healing ourselves and healing the planet” and why “caring for the environment is not an obligation, but a matter of personal and collective happiness and survival”.Peters said that the years leading up to the arrival of the Mayflower and the first harvest are just as important as what followed. The pilgrims were aided by a couple of Indigenous men who remarkably knew how to speak English, including a man named Squanto. One of the most underwritten parts of history is the colonisation of Asia, and its legacy. Lust, Caution, the 1979 novella by Eileen Chang, about a group of Chinese students who plot to assassinate a wartime collaborator of the invading Japanese during the second world war, shows us this moment in history, and the terrible grey areas that emerge in these times. Understanding this history is important – it’s the only way we learn how not to repeat it. But the book is also a masterclass in writing the duality of human beings. To me, changing the world starts with knowing the world. Lust, Caution taught me a little bit more about the world, and about people. His acquired tongue was not a miracle, but a byproduct of tragedy. In 1614, he was part of a group of Native Americans lured onto a ship and and sold into slavery in Spain. Walsh operated a small fleet of cigar-shaped blimps that flew corporate logos over crowded venues.
