The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

Mordecai Richler
Contemporary Canadian Literature

The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

The book is one about the ruthlessness and all-consuming nature of greed as well as the eventual consequences of leading a life driven by monetary gain. I won’t give away the ending, but I’ll warn you that it’s nothing like Ebenezer Scrooge’s and there are no warm fuzzies involved. This is a review of Mordecai Richler’s The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.

The Man of Feeling

Henry Mackenzie
18th Century UK Literature

The Man of Feeling

As someone who reads classical literature — a lot of which was around before cameras were common or in some cases existent — instead of photographs, I see a lot of author portraits when I do research. This is a review of The Man of Feeling.
