Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jamie and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister - the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. ![]() Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon his daughters Sansa and Arya and his bastard son, Jon Snow. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing.

If he had died in 1939, he would have had to his credit a formidable ministerial and parliamentary career, supported by well-paid journalism and well-regarded historical writing. Long years of adversity and failure might characterise Hitler's pre-chancellorial background it hardly does Churchill's. Roberts states: "The key attribute shared by both men was an almost superhuman tenacity of purpose that they held onto throughout their long years of adversity and failure." And Hitler's propensity to appear in simple dress among the splendid plumage of other Nazi potentates is compared with Churchill's efforts at a signature appearance with homburgs and cigars. There must be a parallel in that they both liked music (Hitler liked classical music, particularly Wagner Churchill liked military music and Gilbert and Sullivan). There are few, if any, parallels in the life and leadership styles of Churchill and Hitler, and Roberts is often forced to go to absurd lengths to establish them. Roberts is a good historian but he has had a hopeless paradigm imposed on him by this being a reference book for a BBC television series of the same title. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are A Raisin in the Sun citations for 14 popular citation styles including Turabian style, the American Medical Association (AMA) style, the Council of Science Editors (CSE) style, IEEE, and more.

The Corrections was a masterpiece, but Crossroads is his finest novel yet. In playing to his strengths so inordinately he has unlocked a new, late style, distinct from the well-hewn blocks of prose poetry typical of his first three novels or the mashed-potatoes-and-gravy consistency of his last two. To set a novel half a century in the past, as he now does, is something like dealing oneself a full house. In dreams, as a once-famed tale from the Depression had it, begin responsibilities. Giving up, for now, in Crossroads, on representing present youth, Franzen has doubled down on representing the white ones’ parents and grandparents as the impressionable, inquisitive, and dynamically flawed young men and women that they once had been. ![]() |
