J. G. Ballard: Crystal World

Crystal World


Description

J. G. Ballard's fourth novel, which established his reputation as a writer of extraordinary talent and imaginative powers, tells the story of a physician specializing in the treatment of leprosy who is invited to a small outpost in the interior of Africa. Finding the roadways blocked, he takes to the river, and embarks on a frightening journey through a strange petrified forest whose area expands daily, affecting not only the physical environment but also its inhabitants.

Sloane Tanen's chickens are back, but this time they've only got one thing on their minds - babies: carrying babies around for nine months (aka the relief of maternity wear), naming them (their university prospects depend on it), nourishing them (breast-feeding is so in right now), even comparing them (they must be in the 96th percentile of something). From epidurals and stretch marks to nappy rash and day care, "Hatched!" is guaranteed to keep you laughing all the way through your pregnancy and first year of motherhood. Hafiz was born at Shiraz, in Persia, some time after 1320, and died there in 1389. He is, then, an almost exact Crystal World free pdf contemporary of Chaucer. His standing in Persian literature ranks him with Shakespeare and Goethe. A Sufi, Hafiz lived in troubled times. Cities like Shiraz fell prey to the ambitions of one marauding prince after another and knew little peace. The nomads of Central Asia finally overthrew the rule of these princes, and led to the establishment of the succeeding Timurid Dynasty.
