Florence Nightingale - The Woman and Her Legend by Mark Bostridge

Here is a book I read, not for my pleasure, but to save on voice recorder to enable a visually impaired person to enjoy it. This is not the kind of reading I normally comment on this blog and I do not believe that this biography will interest many readers, but it is also a book for personal use, I note that my impressions soon.

Abstract:

In England, Florence Nightingale was a legend. In the nineteenth century, this young woman of good family refuses to follow the life of wife who is drawn to her and is fighting to follow his vocation to become a nurse. At the time, this profession notorious for only recruits poor women alcoholics without medical training. While Florence is formed abroad and runs a clinic, the United Kingdom fought alongside France in the Crimea. Reportages scary light up the British on the status of their wounded soldiers in military hospitals: careless, together in unhealthy places, they die like flies from lack of care or disease. Florence is then sent on site at the head of a group of nurses, and carry out radical changes despite opposition from the military hierarchy and the internal disputes among its recruits. It will become "The Lady with The Lamp, "the lady with the lamp that makes the night round the hospital, an icon whose status it will use to renovate profoundly the status and role of the nurse.

My opinion:

I do not know Florence Nightingale discovered before reading another book about it long ago, and it's quite fun to explore the biography of someone so famous in his home country that does not bother to show it, so it is unknown on this side of the Channel. If his influence has been especially remarkable in Anglo-Saxon, her life is nonetheless extremely interesting. The girl (since they never married) has completely reformed the nursing profession, hospitals English (she even wrote architectural treatises on their construction), basic medical practices in institutions or at home, the health organization of the British army (it has also addressed the health and social problems in India but with less success), but it has also invented new diagrams to illustrate the statistical and epidemiological information that it used extensively, and paved the way for a certain freedom for women in her condition, previously sentenced to a life of housewife wasting their erudition often large. A true pioneer, so.

To complicate matters, we must know that Florence Nightingale was achieved in his youth, a serious and chronic illness that forced her to remain cloistered in his room most of the time. It has yet lived very old and since her bed, was able to accomplish great things described above playing marvel of its influence to pull strings politicians and scientists a good position.

Her forced retirement has meant to force him to communicate by letters a lot. which is obviously a boon to historians who got down to his biography. Mark Bostridge is not the first, and before him, and the writers have described the rumor Florence Nightingale very different guise: as an icon of holiness and devotion First woman as authoritarian and impatient then. ;

Mark Bostridge's biography has the advantage of reconciling these two views and a portrait of Florence Nightingale extremely comprehensive, and we imagine all the more true it is extremely well documented. It covers all the salient features of his personality, the best and the worst. The order is chronological but also arranged by subject, on a very clear pattern. The abundance of details and characters are sometimes a bit disturbing and the language particularly well give a bit of trouble the reader who does not feel quite at ease in the language of Shakespeare (especially when it 's acts of reproductions of letters from that time). But generally speaking, if you want to know the life of this character interesting history, this book is THE essential reference. I can not imagine that we can match the accuracy or completeness.

What Is Salary Of Rhce

American Vampire: the Yanks have sharp teeth!

A new breed of vampires against the backdrop of industrial revolution and upheaval, that the pitch of this new series, American Vampire at Stephen King, which helped.

Skinner Sweet is an off-the-law. Not a romantic desperado or a thug with a big heart is a rot of the worst kind. Cold as a snake, sly as a fox, he does not hesitate to stumble even when the kids need. It is what the Wild West has produced the worst. Fortunately, the Pinkerton agency was able to put an end to his criminal career in apprehending. It remains only to hang him and forget her look bad.

But all is not so simple. Not only are the accomplices of Sweet escape but in the ensuing scuffle, the killer receives a drop of blood in the eye. Bad blood. That will forever change his nature.

Sweet has been tainted by a vampire. A vampire with old, came from the old lands of Europe, who fear the light of day and wears sissy. The meeting between drinkers of blood from the literature and America will make a leap in the evolution of Dentus. Sweet because he, and walk in the sun will be stronger, faster ... "Larger than life" image of the continent where everything is possible.

45 years later, in 1920, two young girls landed in Hollywood, lured by the lights of a film emerging which already creates false idols. They will quickly discover that the West has lost none of its wildness. It was just ... changed in shape.

Ah 'Vertigo' ... a label that does not lie so much, in general, it hosts the series are well worth a visit. Again, the rule is respected. Scott Snyder is to that we owe the concept and scenario American Vampire . Stephen King, who has participated in writing, reveals in the preface that, first contacted to find a promotional slogan, it has finally got the bandwagon and write the origins of Sweet, which is so unlike adaptations from his novels ( The Dark Tower , The Scourge ), his first creation to direct a comic.

The drawings are the work of Rafael hot dog, jumping frog " Albuquerque (uh, sorry for the nickname invented, it is a small valve music, not sure anyone understands it ). The visual appearance is certainly more exciting, with some nice flat areas, true "reds", a dynamism during the action scenes and plans often effective.

For the plot, yes, we may be tempted to say that a vampire story is far from original. Yet it is poorly known authors who, with their Dracula made in Wild West, we speak almost no country that fans of hemoglobin. Because the central theme of this first arc of five episodes is the savagery in the broadest sense, but the illusion shattered dreams and even the cruelty of Hollywood illusions.

The metaphor may even go further and join History, by drawing a parallel between these new vampires, whose parents are European, but who, faced with the harshness of these new lands and hostile, will become more ferocious than their fathers, and the evolution of U.S. based by the son of the old continent that exceed in everything (often in trouble sometimes) distant cousins Italian, French or Irish. Even if our report complex, tinged with envy, admiration and fear, with our friends from overseas may find themselves in this tale, both entertaining and profound.

Revenge, love, violence, heroism and monstrosity, All these themes ultimately the heart of lives, well away from our current comfort, we chose to forget or to romanticize. Vampires Snyder and King are not romantic. They do not drink at a bar in True Blood, they are not the attraction of the local high school with their Tronches of cake, "pale" and "mysterious." Them, they bite, they tear, they kill. Not because they are vampires, but because that is what every living being. And if you do not have to smell the fresh blood at the back of your palate, make sure it's because someone, somewhere, bites and kills you. So you can have meat under cellophane Leclerc corner and forget that you too are a predator who gets drunk and dreamed of civilization that he will one day live without killing. Which is impossible. And vampires, and for us.

The translation is perfect, I would just revert to the term "lousdé", the choice of spelling seems to me unfortunate (though, in slang, construction phonetic n is not always absurd). Loucedé largonji actually comes from (not to be confused with or largonjem louchebem a little different), a jargon long before the best-known as Verlan date nineteenth century. Currently, the largonji is virtually no longer present in the spoken language (there are exceptions, like "crazy", but not quite obey the same rules), except in the form "in loucedé ", a term commonly used and understood well that most people know its origin. This slang is based on replacing the first letter of a word (when it is a consonant) with an "L". The original consonant is then added to the end and decorated with a vowel based on phonetics to form a suffix ("B" becomes "be", "J" becomes "ji", etc.).

"cheating" gives "in loucedé" and "jargon" turns into "largonji. The coding is simple, but for a person who does not know the key is not used or heard, it makes conversation almost impossible to follow.

Well, it was a bit off topic, but I rarely get to speak largonji. O)

An excellent use of the vampire myth and a beautiful evocation of an America as harsh and fascinating, all complemented by a loss of self that is all the more impressive very often lack the French authors.
