But his originality is also rooted in a debate as old as philosophy itself: the struggle between thought and language (which comes first?), and their mutual interdependency. Famously, his cat had a vital part in this its gaze prompted him to recognise the idiosyncracy of perspective, as seeing a hare did for Virginia Woolf four centuries later – one of the many illuminating parallels Sarah Bakewell makes in How to Live. A 16th-century nobleman as the father of all bloggers, and his Essays as the mother of all blogs? Certainly Montaigne's idea of the "essay" (from essai, meaning "trial") is far closer to the rambling, highly personal, internet-spawned version than the type remembered from school, where to stray hors sujet is the quickest way to lose marks.Īs Montaigne himself recognised, his idea was indeed a new one: "This is the only book in the world of its kind, and its plan is both wild and extravagant."

JEAN LORRAIN (1855-1906) was the pseudonym of Paul Alexandre Martin Duval. In this the second collection of short stories by Jean Lorrain to be made available in English, exquisitely translated by Brian Stableford, psychological studies of amorous perversity are presented together with mock-folktales, giving further evidence of the amazing inventiveness and imagination of one of the key figures of the Decadent Movement. Perhaps, given the variety of human behavior, it was not possible for him actually to invent perversities that no one actually practiced, or were even tempted to practice, but what is certain is that no one ever examined the anatomy of eroticism, including its wilder extremes, with a greater analytical fervor. No other writer of the fin-de-siècle period undertook a more elaborate exploration of perversities and abnormalities than Jean Lorrain, and no one else went as far afield in the search for discoveries of that curious kind than he did. ![]() The Soul-Drinker and Other Decadent Fantasies by Jean Lorrain, translated by Brian Stableford / 265-page paperback from Snuggly Books / ISBN 9781943813094 ![]() ![]() ![]() Narrated in two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride.

![]() ![]() At the centre of each plane the rock won’t be moving at all taken together, all these fixed centres constitute the axis of rotation. But another way to characterise this motion is by the direction of the plane of the rotation: a slice through the planet along any plane parallel to the equator will reveal the rock to be moving only within that plane. If a planet in 3 dimensions rotates as a perfectly rigid body, it has a stationary axis running through it which intersects the 2-dimensional surface at two points, the familiar rotational poles. To see why this is possible (but actually not very likely), first consider the case in 3 dimensions. In Chapter 17 of Diaspora, an artifact is discovered near the “rotational pole” of a star in the 5-dimensional macrosphere this pole is described as the single 2-sphere on the star’s 4-dimensional hypersurface that stays fixed in space as the star rotates.
