Description

The Melancholy of ResistanceThe Melancholy of Resistance, Laszlo Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in an insignificant Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the midst of a terminal frost, prompting bizarre rumors. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose at hand, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find

The Melancholy of Resistance, Laszlo Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in an insignificant Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the midst of a terminal frost, prompting bizarre rumors. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose at hand, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find -- music, cosmology, fascism. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender center of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found.

Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, "is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type". And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of The Guardian, "lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds".

My Family's Favorite Sunscreen!
Style: Sunscreen Stick, Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is our go-to sunscreen and my family has not used any other brand since discovering it about 5 or 6 years ago. The scent is pleasant, light, and tropical. Application is quick and easy. It goes on clear (not white) and looks a little greasy at first, but that is actually a positive because it helps you quickly see spots you (or your child) missed. It soon absorbs cleanly and the oily feeling goes away after a few minutes. The sunscreen works really well. My family has very pale, sensitive skin with eczema and easily burns in the sun. It does not irritate our skin at all and provides great coverage. This stuff works very well for us on vacation in Florida and on Bahamas/Caribbean cruises. It fits easily in a small bag and doesn't take up much room. With it being a solid, there's no worry of leaking. I love that you can hand everyone a stick and they can do most of the application themselves. Then we turn around and get the hard to reach spots on each other. And all done with clean hands that aren't getting messy. I would be so sad if this sunscreen is ever discontinued. We have over a dozen sticks in our house/car/luggage at any given time.

No Fuss For Kids
Style: Sunscreen Stick, Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Neutrogena Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 – A Summer Must-Have! I absolutely love the Neutrogena Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 — it’s a staple in our summer routine. I always keep several on hand: one in the car, one in the stroller, and one in our beach bag. It’s just so convenient to have wherever we go! What makes this sunscreen stick stand out is how easy it is to apply, especially on my kids’ faces. There’s no mess, no fuss, and no need to rub it in. I can quickly swipe it on even when they’re squirming or in the middle of playing. It goes on clear, feels lightweight, and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue. This product gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are protected with broad-spectrum SPF 50, and I don’t have to wrestle them into a full sunscreen routine. Total win for busy parents! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick, reliable, and kid-friendly sunscreen solution.

Dermatologist recommended
Style: Sunscreen Stick, Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I did a light study on these products and this one is recommended by dermatologist with lots of good reason. There’s one dermatologist on you tube that does the most extensive and short, to the point at the same time, explanation of the different products on the market and what you want in a sunscreen. It’s worth looking it up if you used a lot of this product. She wasn’t selling anything but suggested this as one that’s the safest to use you should look that one up if it’s a concern. It’s the best and most simplified piece that I’ve seen on the subject. I recommend this one because that doctor recommended it. I still tan with it but I don’t burn. My pasty white skin likes to burn lol. It stays on with water reasonably well. I like the small package. It lasts pretty good too. I try to travel light and things like this really help. With a light load towel and a few things compact I can carry everything in a very small gym bag. This compact packing is awesome. The speedstick type applicator. The whole thing isn’t just perfect and a great product overall
