All his prayers seem to have been answered in the affirmative except two: that his mother wouldn’t die (which she did when he was aged twelve) and that he wouldn’t turn out gay. ![]() The ‘God box’ of the title is a receptacle into which he puts written prayers.

While he was still at Oxford, where he remained on a fellowship after his graduation, he was on the point of taking orders, but a royal pension was obtained for him, and he set forth on his travels on the Continent.

In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined-and millions continue to suffer. In Dead Aid, Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. ![]() In fact, across the continent, the recipients of this aid are not better off as a result of it, but worse-much worse.

At the time of his premature death, in 1957, at the age of sixty, only a handful of people knew that Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa had written a novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() What started off as burning resentment and the need to make his father’s new ward suffer turned into something else entirely-keep Ella close.
