Instead of remembering for themselves, Socrates warned, new readers were blindly trusting in “external written characters.” The library was ruining the mind. ![]() In the “Phaedrus,” he lamented the invention of books, which “create forgetfulness” in the soul.

Nancy’s architects freely collaborated with other artists of the Ecole on their buildings, and a sense of pride in their province led them to study local flora, the and regional legends and politics, using the iconography of plants and narratives to make architecture legible to a wide public. Nancy’s architects were also disciples of Emile Gallé, the founder of a regional association of artists, industrialists, and designers called the Ecole de Nancy, dedicated to the promotion of Art Nouveau. Much of Nancy’s Art Nouveau had a conservative character that garnered praise from the national architectural press. Most of Nancy’s architects were graduates of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and grounded in the language of classicism and its associated professional standards. Nancy’s Art Nouveau was a divergent form of modernity that was defined by regionalism and a distinct sense of place, which its proponents championed as the key elements of an authentic architecture, allowing Nancy to challenge Paris as the dominant French artistic center in the two decades before World War I. The small city of Nancy, France, is arguably the center where Art Nouveau architecture had the most lasting impact. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What I will have to say is designed particularly for young people just starting out, but is applicable to anyone who thinks they are condemned to a life lived in the lower levels of economic achievement because they are too young, too poor, a member of an ethnic minority, or a woman who thinks it is still a man’s world. They are designed to open windows of economic opportunity that most people don’t know even exist and to provide a set of skill based tools to enable a better life to reach their dreams. I’ll explain what that means in a minute, but first I have an important question for you: do you have dreams for your life that always seem just beyond your reach? If so, this podcast, and the ones, which will follow, are very specifically for you. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was later shot down west of Osnabruck, where he was captured by the Luftwaffe and sent to a German POV camp, Stalag Luft III, enduring terrible conditions as the war trundled to a close.Įlsewhere in the hot young crew, we'll see Barry Keoghan in one of the 356 roles he's got coming up that includes the Gladiator sequel and a double-hander with Jacob Elordi in Saltburn.
