eBook: ‘A Christmas Sermon’ is an emotional and powerful piece. Written by Stevenson as he recuperated from another lung issue outside New York, he ponders the questions of life, death, morality and man’s place in it all. His prose is beautiful, his pondering interrupted by philosophy and a healthy dose of poetry. It is an emotional read, seeing such a great literary mind facing down the long journey, but *spoiler alert* it ends happily. Stevenson concludes that man’s purpose is "to be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and spend less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence". They are questions we all ask ourselves, questions that can make us feel hopelessly lost, but we aren’t, we’re just figuring things out. This little sermon packs a punch, it is incredibly cathartic pondering the questions of life with one of the greatest literary minds of all time, and as such is perfect reading for anyone.

Film Professor Marston & the Wonder Women popisuje nekonvenční život doktora Williama Marstona (Luke Evans), harvardského psychologa a vynálezce, který pomáhal vymyslet moderní detektor lži a v roce 1941 vytvořil postavu Wonder Woman. Marston byl v polyamorním vztahu se svou ženou Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), psycholožkou a vynálezkyní, a Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote), bývalou studentkou, ze které se stala akademická pracovnice. Tento vztah byl klíčem k vytvoření Wonder Woman, protože feministické ideály Elizabeth a Olive byly v této postavě zakořeněné už od jejího počátku. Marston zemřel v roce 1947 na rakovinu kůže. Elizabeth a Olive stále tvořily pár a společně vychovávaly děti, které měly s Marstonem. Film se zabývá tím, jak se Marston vypořádával s kontroverzí kolem Wonder Woman.BONUSY:• Dynamická trojice: Zrození feministické ikony • Klíčový pohled: Režírování filmu Professor Marston & The Wonder Women
