![]() He retained his position as librarian despite his condition because "he's the only one who knows where all the books are" and the fact that he could screw a man's head off with his feet. Most of the grimoires are highly dangerous to people, sometimes consuming them, but the Librarian is no person, and no longer requires a ladder to reach those tricky high-up shelves. Discovering that being an orang-utan has certain advantages for a librarian (climbing the book shelves and using his hands and feet for sorting books being one such advantage), he refused to be transformed back into a human, and has remained an orang-utan ever since. The Librarian first appeared in the first novel of the series, The Colour of Magic, and was transformed into an orang-utan in " The Light Fantastic" as the Octavo fired a beam of magic upwards (a sort of systemwide, in this case universe-wide, update intended to save the Eighth Creation Spell (and thus Rincewind) from falling off the disc). ![]() The Librarian of Unseen University is a character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. ![]()

Only then, we can improve the quality of our life and enjoy the struggle. We must do everything in our power to improve our predicament. Let's stop complaining about it and accept it.

Angels to Others.” Although Hellraiser, as a series, is notorious for its significant drop in quality following its first film- of the ten films in the series, the first Hellraiser is the only entry not to be rated as rotten on Rotten Tomatoes’ aggregator- Clive Barker’s original Hellraiser, an adaptation of his 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, is a multilayered film that skirts the horror genre by focusing on a plot that forgoes the slasher formula prominent in horror cinema during Hellraiser’s initial release in favor of a Gothic family drama. Released in 1987, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser remains one of the most significant horror films of its decade, introducing into a Transatlantic horror lexicon Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites, extradimensional beings the film describes as “Explorers in the further regions of experience. The interplay that occurs in the first Hellraiser film between gendered bodies, domestic spaces, and abjection-e.g., an affect based upon apprehension and revulsion (Kristeva 1)-provides a critique of traditional Western gender norms that synonymizes patriarchal-led households with the production of horror. ![]() |
