Happy Birthday, Grahame Greene! Born on October 2, 1904, Greene was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, known for his masterful ability to blend gripping narratives with deep moral and philosophical exploration. Throughout his prolific career, Greene wrote more than 25 novels, as well as numerous short stories, plays, and essays. His works remain captivating for their exploration of the human condition, often focusing on themes of moral ambiguity, faith, guilt, and betrayal. https://gabbitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Yousuf-Karsh-Graham-Greene-1964-1557x1960_cropped_2-1556x778.jpeg Greene's life experiences greatly influenced his writing. He worked as a journalist, film critic, and, later in life, traveled extensively, which brought him to volatile political regions. His time in these places gave his novels a sharp sense of realism and a global perspective. Greene often categorized his own works into two groups: his serious “novels” and his more commercially successful “entertainments.” While the "entertainments" offered thrilling stories with espionage and intrigue, such as Stamboul Train (1932) and Our Man in Havana (1958), his more serious novels grappled with complex moral and spiritual dilemmas. https://m.primal.net/LIwN.png Some of Greene's most famous novels include Brighton Rock (1938), a dark story about the violent world of gangsters in 1930s Brighton, and The Power and the Glory (1940), often considered his greatest novel, which explores the inner turmoil of a “whisky priest” during anti-Catholic persecutions in Mexico. The Heart of the Matter (1948) delves into the inner struggles of a British colonial officer in West Africa, while The End of the Affair (1951) is a profound examination of love, jealousy, and faith, set against the backdrop of postwar London. https://cdn2.penguin.com.au/covers/original/9780099478447.jpg Greene’s appeal comes from his unique ability to combine compelling plots with an insightful examination of the human soul. As a Catholic convert, many of his novels feature characters struggling with faith, sin, and redemption, giving his stories a deeper, almost existential weight. His writing captures the tension between worldly concerns and spiritual salvation, making readers question the nature of good and evil, guilt, and grace. https://i0.wp.com/www.raptisrarebooks.com/images/120766/graham-greene-first-edition-collection.jpg?fit=1000%2C800&ssl=1 Several of Greene’s novels were adapted into acclaimed films, which further cemented his legacy in both literature and cinema. The Third Man (1949), originally written as a screenplay, became one of the most iconic films of its time, directed by Carol Reed and starring Orson Welles. The film’s postwar Vienna setting and its themes of betrayal and corruption captured the bleak atmosphere of the Cold War era. Brighton Rock (1947), The End of the Affair (1955 and 1999), The Quiet American (1958 and 2002), and Our Man in Havana (1959) were also successfully adapted for the screen, showcasing Greene’s knack for crafting cinematic narratives. Greene's writing remains timeless, not just for his thrilling plots, but for the way he addresses the eternal conflicts of human nature. His novels continue to resonate with readers because they confront moral complexities and present characters who must navigate the gray areas between right and wrong, belief and doubt. His work offers a powerful blend of suspense, ethical tension, and philosophical depth, making him one of the most compelling writers of the 20th century. These "on this day" posts are inspired by my love of the greatest minds of the Western canon. It is in this spirit that I post these tidbits for the #bitcoin community as a way to bring beauty and knowledge to the world. https://m.primal.net/LIwG.jpg

GA, #nostr Você já tomou benzetacil alguma vez ? Pois é. Essa molécula a baixo já fez parte do seu organismo, então. A penicilina foi descoberta por Fleming em 1928, por acidente. É produzida por um fungo chamado Penicillium chrysogenum. A sua função é destruir a parede bacteriana - composta por peptideoglicanos (estruturas protéicas+glicose, muito resistentes). Ela revolucionou a medicina, que até então não contava com antibióticos para o tratamento de infecções (até 1928 era comum morrer de infecção de garganta, pele …) Hoje, com a evolução da resistência das bactérias, temos inúmeros novos antibióticos, cada um com uma função. O grande perigo do futuro relaciona-se a prescrição indiscriminada de antimicrobianos pelos técnicos em medicina. Se tem uma guerra que possivelmente poderemos perder é contra uma bactéria multirresistente com alta capacidade de transmissão/infectividadez #bitcoin #plebchain

You can buy #Bitcoin now or later. Saying you don’t need it is like saying «I don’t need air. I’m able to live without it». And after some minutes you take a breathe of air anyway. It’s inevitable.

Fascinating take on the tower of Babel. I'm really enjoying, first time listener! 🫡

and inspired for Halloween 👀

Ope, I should make sure it's up to date (duh) lol I'll report back

Okay OBSESSED
