"" I finally understood war for the first time in Maglaj. I saw a beautiful woman without any clothes lying at the entrance to the town in the middle of the sniper's path. ...The people would scream at her to get up, try to drag her, finally beg her to move.

"Oh This Book! We all know the tale but Ms. Williams looks at this historical record from the point of view of 2018
" Elizabeth was scandalised & also conscious of her position: if an anointed queen could be abducted, raped, imprisoned & then deposed & no one protested, then what of the right of any queen to be on the throne? She naturally feared that her enemies might be emboldened to treat her similiarly." Pg 219" — Dec 09, 2018 01:53PM

“His unrivaled genius as an ideological novelist was this capacity to invent actions and situations in which ideas dominate behavior without the latter becoming allegorical. He possessed what I call an eschatological imagination, one that could envision putting ideas into action and then following them out to their ultimate consequences. At the same time, his characters respond to such consequences according to the ordinary moral and social standards prevalent in their milieu, and it is the fusion of these two levels that provides Dostoevsky's novels with both their imaginative range and their realistic grounding in social life.”
