Book Description
From Homer and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Jonathan Safran Foer, major works of literature have a great deal to teach us about two of life’s most significant stages—growing up and growing old. Distinguised scholar Arnold Weinstein’s provocative and engaging new book, Morning, Noon, and Night, explores classic writing’s insights into coming-of-age and surrendering to time, and considers the impact of these revelations upon our lives. With wisdom, humor, and moving personal observations, Weinstein leads us to look deep inside ourselves and these great books, to see how we can use art as both mirror and guide. He offers incisive readings of seminal novels about childhood—Huck Finn’s empathy for the runaway slave Jim illuminates a child’s moral education; Catherine and Heathcliff’s struggle with obsessive passion in Wuthering Heights is hauntingly familiar to many young lovers; Dickens’s Pip, in Great Expectations, must grapple with a world that wishes him harm; and in Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical Persepolis, little Marjane faces a different kind of struggle—growing into adolescence as her country moves through the pain of the Iranian Revolution. In turn, great writers also ponder the lessons learned in life’s twilight years: both King Lear and Willy Loman suffer as their patriarchal authority collapses and death creeps up; Brecht’s Mother Courage displays the inspiring indomitability of an aging woman who has “borne every possible blow. . . but is still standing, still moving.” And older love can sometimes be funny (Rip Van Winkle conveniently sleeps right through his marriage) and sometimes tragic (as J. M. Coetzee’s David Lurie learns the hard way, in Disgrace). Tapping into the hearts and minds of memorable characters, from Sophocles’ Oedipus to Artie in Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Morning, Noon, and Night makes an eloquent and powerful case for the role of great literature as a knowing window into our lives and times. Its intelligence, passion, and genuine appreciation for the written word remind us just how crucial books are to the business of being human.

Book Description
Long, lazy breakfasts and brunches have become the hottest meal of the week. In Breakfast: Morning, Noon and Night, Fern Green encourages readers to enjoy their most-loved meal at any time of the day. Covering all the morning favorites, and often adding an indulgent or inspired twist, she shares recipes for sweet and savory dishes that you won't be able to confine to just the morning hours. Simple but satisfying, and super easy to prepare, these recipes will suit any time of day. Try smoked salmon and eggs served with quinoa crackers, apple, sorrel and crispy capers; cheese on toast gets upgraded to griddled halloumi served with basil, tomato and ciabatta; and waffles get a delicious side of maple and blueberry butter. Fern also takes inspiration from breakfasts with more exotic flavor combinations, such as the Adai Indian crêpe with coconut chutney, and Mexican corn and zucchini hash with fried egg. These mouth-watering dishes show how you can make breakfast favorites work at any time of the day: serve bacon and egg puffs as a canapé, the breakfast burger for a lunch gathering, and fruit muffins as afternoon tea. Banana pancakes double as a delectable dessert, and eggs with black-eyed beans and salsa are the perfect dinner for one. This book really will be indispensible for morning, noon or night.
