En primer lugar, si hay algo que me ha llamado la atenci n y que me ha mantenido en vilo hasta el final ha sido el halo de misterio y sospecha que envuelve a la historia. Creo que ha sido adem s un acierto por parte de A.J. Garc a ambientar la novela en los tiempos posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ya que el propio contexto ayuda a generar esa atm sfera de incertidumbre que tanto me ha gustado.El elemento sobrenatural (el don que da nombre a la novela y del que tampoco puedo hablar mucho) es tambi n otro gran acierto y es el que realmente hace que la novela evolucione hacia algo grande y original. Sin ese elemento, la historia de Rachel quiz podr a haber quedado muy estereotipada y muy similar a algunas telenovelas o pel culas t picas de la sobremesa de los domingos de Antena 3, pero gracias a la parte "paranormal", la lectura es realmente interesante...

In 1617, Rachel Speght caused a sensation when, at the age of nineteen, she published a polemic in defence of women under her own name. Daring to identify herself as a ‘forward’ woman, she repudiated the prevailing misogyny of her day. However, the power of her words died with her, and, for over 350 years, she was lost from view. Since the rediscovery of her works in the 1980s, Speght has become a familiar name in Renaissance literature. Nevertheless, almost fifty years after her re-emergence, the woman behind the works remains little known. This book explores Speght’s life, from her formation in the turbulent world of Jacobean London to her last years as a displaced person within a Suffolk community torn apart by religious strife. Considering her as a writer and polemicist but also as a ‘public housewife’, the book reveals a courageous thinker and protagonist. One of the defining authors of what Christina Luckyj has described as the ‘radical politics of the female voice’ in early-Stuart England, and one of the few clergy wives to speak out in defence of her faith amid the chaos of the Civil War, Rachel Speght emerges as one of the most compelling female personalities of her age.
At 1.45am on New Year's Day, Rachel Moran left her mother's house to make the 20 minute walk back to her own flat. She never arrived. Rachel was just like many women of her age, loved by her family, adored by her boyfriend and with a bright future ahead of her. Her fatal mistake was to walk the mile or so alone to feed the kittens she and her boyfriend kept. She was taken from the street and brutally murdered by Michael Little. Her body wasn't discovered for a month. In an attempt to make sense of what happened that night and in the months that followed, her mother kept a diary of what happened.

An Analysis of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring
Nikki Springer
Macat International Limited
2017
nidottu
Rachel Carson’s 1962 Silent Spring is one of the few books that can claim to be epoch-making. Its closely reasoned attack on the use of pesticides in American agriculture helped thrust environmental consciousness to the fore of modern politics and policy, creating the regulatory landscape we know today. The book is also a monument to the power of closely reasoned argument – built from well organised and carefully evidenced points that are not merely persuasive, but designed to be irrefutable. Indeed, it had to be: upon its publication, the chemical industry utilised all its resources to attempt to discredit both Silent Spring and Carson herself – to no avail. The central argument of the book is that the indiscriminate use of pesticides encouraged by post-war advances in agriculture and chemistry was deeply harmful to plants, animals and the whole environment, with devastating effects that went far beyond protecting crops. At the time, the argument directly contradicted government policy and scientific orthodoxy – and many studies that corroborated Carson’s views were deliberately suppressed by hostile business interests. Carson, however, gathered, organised and set out the evidence in Silent Spring in a way that proved her contentions without a doubt. While environmental battles still rage, few now deny the strength and persuasiveness of her reasoning.
