Poor Things
Author: Alasdair Gray
Publisher: Dalkey Archive Press
ISBN: 9781564783073
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
One of Alasdair Gray's most brilliant creations, Poor Things is a postmodern revision of Frankenstein that replaces the traditional monster with Bella Baxter--a beautiful young erotomaniac brought back to life with the brain of an infant. Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion is realized when he finds the drowned body of Bella, but his dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for Baxter's creation.The hilarious tale of love and scandal that ensues would be "the whole story" in the hands of a lesser author (which in fact it is, for this account is actually written by Dr. McCandless). For Gray, though, this is only half the story, after which Bella (a.k.a. Victoria McCandless) has her own say in the matter.Satirizing the classic Victorian novel, Poor Things is a hilarious political allegory and a thought-provoking duel between the desires of men and the independence of women, from one of Scotland's most accomplished authors.

Pages : 182
Book Description
RICH DAD, POOR SONPoverty is the easiest thing to inherit a childWhen I say that the easiest thing for a father to inherit their children is his poorness, I do not refer to his material possessions, valuable objects or money in any of its presentations.I refer to the way in which us fathers -conscious or unconsciously- inherit our good and bad habits to our children, and that they will be used as an example to build up their growth and development.Our words must be consistent with our actions, Our children's mind won't remember or give any importance to the million of advices we give them, if they're not coupled with our actions.Teaching them a good financial education is the basis of their economic success. From a very young age, they must know how to add and generate and not to subtract.It is not enough to inherit an incredible yacht and a beautiful mansion in the beach, if you never showed your children how to fish. It is enough to invest a little time effort and dedication in showing them how to fish, for them to be able to buy their own yacht and mansion in a little time.A nice read to help you think if you're well-educating your children.
