Even though I grew up successful using my own strengths, the fact that I had to go against their wishes still created an underlying insecurity that still exits. My whole life, my family pushed their agenda on me in areas I didn’t shine or care for. I’ve become more conscious of not pushing my agenda on them but helping them cultivate their own unique strengths. We’ve recently found their passions in gymnastics and golf. This book helped me put my own situation in perspective as I have a gifted child and a child with special needs. I’m glad that I had access to this book while my children are still small.

There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation - also known as Babel.īabel is the world’s center of translation and, more importantly, of silver-working: the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation through enchanted silver bars, to magical effect. ![]() Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. ![]() Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.ġ828. ![]() ![]() The three kings of the school by birthright and power.

Rather than running from the tragedy or difficulty, lovelace confronts it head-on. ![]() I can’t speak to the way poetry-both reading it and writing it-might itself be healing, but it certainly is an act of resistance, and therefore of resilience. lovelace’s poetry often has a staggering beauty to the way she lays out her words, both visually on the page and mentally in the reader’s mind.
