So I thought to myself one fine day, walking with my friend Christopher Robin, "Moo rhymes with Pooh! Surely there is a bit of poetry to be got out of that?" Well, then, I began to think about the swan on his lake and at first I thought how lucky it was that his name was Pooh and then I didn't think about that any more. Well, I should have told you that there are six cows who come down to Pooh's lake every afternoon to drink, and of course they say "Moo" as they come. You will find some lines about a swan here, if you get as far as that, and I should have explained to you in the Note that Christopher Robin, who feeds this swan in the mornings, has given him the name of "Pooh." This is a very fine name for a swan, because, if you call him and he doesn't come (which is a thing swans are good at), then you can pretend that you were just saying "Pooh!" to show how little you wanted him.

In Some Luck, the first novel in her new trilogy, The Last Hundred Years, Smiley returns to the Iowan farmscape near the town of Denby to cultivate ground for her epic family saga centred on the Langdons and, in this first volume, covering the years 1920 to 1953. ![]() Smiley says if she hadn’t lived in and around Iowa City for nine years she would not have given birth to her three children nor written a number of novels, including her 1992 Pulitzer-Prize winner, A Thousand Acres, a retelling of Shakespeare’s King Lear set on an Iowan farm, with generational conflict at its core.

In 1320, Petrarca began his law studies in Montpellier, continued in Bologna, but never finished it. So, like Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch was banished from his hometown. He was a son of a notary from Florence who, as a political exile, moved with his family in 1312 to Avignon, then to Carpentras. Petrarch, or Italian in full Francesco Petrarca, was born on Jin Arquà near Padua. The greatest legacy of this author is his work Canzoniere, whose lyrical or expressive content made the most accurate reference of poetry inside and outside his time. He also distinguished himself in poetry, becoming the greatest influence of later writers such as Garcilaso de la Vega and William Shakespeare. Francesco Petrarch was a distinguished humanist, a member of the intellectual and philosophical movement of Renaissance Europe in the 14th century. ![]() ![]() While we don’t capture 100% of every sale in the market we’re getting closer and closer to that goal. ![]() We only integrate sales for comics that our robots are confident are correct.
