Having attended a local primary school weekly and listened to children aged 7 and 8 year olds, I realised that there was a huge range of reading ability, and also understanding and empathy.The first poem in "Jacob's Cats" is short, repetitive and easy to say aloud. It's a rhyme that adults and children can say together."Larry", "Poison" and "Thor" are rhymes suitable for those that can realise that some cats have lives that are difficult and harsh.Each cat has at least one photograph attached to their story and, with encouragement, children have the chance to increase and use new vocabulary."Jacob's Cats" was started during the pandemic lockdown. Jacob is my youngest grandchild, and he lived with his Mum who worked at home. School lessons were sent through computers or mobile phones. Jacob couldn't visit his other relations, aunts and cousins, and he couldn't pop round to his other grandparents or his Dad, and I lived a distance away. His friends were stuck in their own homes for a while, and there were no games of football played on the school field.So Jacob had to amuse himself most of the time. I also had to find different things to do. I decided to take some photos of local cats, and then I wondered if I could write rhymes to tell their stories. I realised that I could post the first poem and picture so that Jacob could receive the unexpected surprise. Looking back I started with "Anton's Crunchy Biscuits", followed by "Poison" and then "Belle."As time crawled onwards, I contacted my friends by email and asked if pictures of their cats could be sent to me. People I knew were pleased to assist me, and cat owners that I didn't know sent many photos, so more rhymes and illustrations went onto the pages of "Jacob's Cats".Eventually, the lockdown lifted and Jacob (by now he was nearly 12) visited his friend's houses and took pictures with his mobile phone, then he emailed the pictures to me. Gradually the book took shape and eventually, there were 20 poems, all splendidly different because the cats were all different. Even if they looked the same their personalities were unique.Everyone who looks through the book always chooses the cat they like the most. I too have a favourite, but I don't tell, just in case the other cats get "stroppy".
Virginia Woolf’s third novel is an unconventional literary portrait of its title character—an awkward but strangely fascinating young man coming of age in the years leading up to the First World War—that is pervaded throughout by a sense that “nobody sees any one as he is”. Jacob’s Room marks a radical departure from the conventions of realist fiction by seeking to evoke the experiential texture of human cognition and urban modernity in an entirely new way. Endlessly surprising and inventive in its handling of narrative perspective, this is one of the central achievements of modern English literature.
"A mother knows. At least, that's what everyone told her. That she'd know when something was wrong. Feel it. Deep inside as if there was an invisible cord that had stayed behind the day she brought her son into this life.Well, they were wrong. Dead wrong.She didn't know her son at all. But then, he didn't know her either."(c)Urcelia Teixeira - Excerpt Jacob's Well. All rights reserved.

Focusing primarily on the close study of literary works presented in the broad cultural and historical context, Jacob's Ladder discusses the reflection of kabbalistic allegory in Russian literature and provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the perception of Kabbalah in Russian consciousness. Aptekman investigates the questions of when, how and why Kabbalah has been used in Russian literary texts from Pre-Romanticism to Modernism and what particular role it played in the larger context of the Russian literary tradition. The correct understanding of this liaison helps the reader to clarify many enigmatic images in Russian literary works of the last two centuries and to understand the roots of a particular cultural falsification that played an important role in the anti-Semitic mythology of the twentieth century.
The story is told mainly through the perspectives of the women in Jacob's life, including the repressed upper-middle-class Clara Durrant and the uninhibited young art student Florinda, with whom he has an affair. His time in London forms a large part of the story, though towards the end of the novel he travels to Italy and then Greece. The novel centres, in a very ambiguous way, around the life story of the protagonist Jacob Flanders and is presented almost entirely through the impressions other characters have of Jacob. Thus, although it could be said that the book is primarily a character study and has little in the way of plot or background, the narrative is constructed with a void in place of the central character if, indeed, the novel can be said to have a 'protagonist' in conventional terms. Motifs of emptiness and absence haunt the novel and establish its elegiac feel. Jacob is described to us, but in such indirect terms that it would seem better to view him as an amalgam of the different perceptions of the characters and narrator. He does not exist as a concrete reality, but rather as a collection of memories and sensations.Motifs of emptiness and absence haunt the novel and establish its elegiac feel.

The year is 1832. Twenty-year-old Jacob Hart, against all advice, is leaving his Vermont home to strike out into the American frontier to begin a new life. His journey leads him into the wilderness of the Michigan Territory. There he faces toil, danger, and death. But he also eventually finds common cause and the joys that come from hard-earned friendships and family.On his twentieth birthday, eldest son Jacob Hart fulfills his secret ambition of departing his family's hardscrabble Vermont farm to create a new life on what he hopes are the more fertile lands of the American frontier. The move left him utterly alone, with his childhood home and family forever out of his life. The year is 1832, and America is changing rapidly. Dreams come hard in the wilderness, however.
