The chapters not only move between time lines but also alternate narration styles. I also wanted to explore the way we consume acts of violence against women and girls as a form of entertainment (and these acts of violence against them are often at the center of true crime stories), and the consequences. I’m fascinated by true crime, but I often wonder how well the category serves the narratives of victims who are no longer around to tell their own stories, and what the personal cost of choosing to tell those stories might be.

For him, the financial inclusion of individuals and small businesses that lacked access to the formal financial system became both a business imperative and a societal responsibility. But rather than compete for market share within the 15% of global payments that were already electronic, he decided to focus the company’s growth on the 85% that were still made by cash and check transactions. When Ajay Banga took over as CEO of Mastercard, in 2010, he knew that disruption of the payments industry was imminent. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The last of mohicans novel![]() ![]() The story was set during the American Revolution and featured George Washington as a character.

Mit și magie în cultura tradițională româneasca by Andrei Oișteanu![]() ![]() And because of that, despite the good fate it had been granted in the 19th century, which is in no way limited to the authors and texts here submit to discussion, the literary character of Dochia will almost disappear in the culture of the 20th century. In this respect, the literary myth of Dochia represents an ideal cultural product of that heterogeneous diverse century, that strove to, experimented and set the foundations of the modern Romanian culture. That is not necessarily for the literary calibre of the works in which she appears - often rather poor (not always, though, Eminescu and some others being an exception) - as for the fact that, on one hand, the narrative variations having reference to such works build up one of the uncommon "Romanian literary myths", which is genuinely "literary", as well as genuinely "Romanian" and that, on the other hand, in the process of constructing such myth, the literary invention commendably weaves historical reminiscences, political allegories, and folkloric suggestions. One of the most appealing figures of the Romanian literature of the 19th century is, without a shadow of a doubt, that of Dochia. ![]() ![]() ![]() GENESIS AND METAMORPHOSIS OF A LITERARY MYTH IN ROMANIAN LITERATURE OF 19TH CENTURY. ![]() |
