The Times publishes the obituary of Abdalqadir as-Sufi (1930-2021),  born as Ian Stewart Dallas, dramatist, bohemian in the sixties and later leader of an orthodox Sufi sect. In this blog, it is mentioned because he was the co-author of the screenplay of the 1956 BBC Jane Eyre version with Daphne Slater and Stanley Baker.

Daily Times (Pakistan) publishes a remembrance of the recently deceased actor Dilip Kumar:

‘Dil Diya Dard Liya’ – Dilip Kumar acted as Shankar who turned in the movie as Raja Saheb in the last half of this film; the former role showed misery and the latter mastery. He was nominated for Filmfare Award for Best Actor Category. This film directed by Abdul Rasheed Kardar was romantic yet a tragic movie. Obviously so, as the story was an adaption of Emily Brontë’s classic novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ and Dilip at the height of success of his serious roles perfected the adaptation of hero Heathcliff. It was interesting to see a happy ending for Cathy and Heathcliff. (Dr. Amjad Parvez)

Boulevard Sentinel defines what a bildungsroman is:

The “Bildungsroman,” or coming-of-age novel, is one of the most popular genres studied in English class. Its roots are in 19th century Germany — roman is German for “novel” and bildung means “education/development” — but stories that explore a protagonist’s journey from childhood to adulthood are resurrected time and again throughout literature and pop culture. To Kill a Mockingbird, Jane Eyre, Stand by Me, even Mean Girls, all follow the Bildungsroman plot scheme, tracing each success, pitfall, insight and experience that push their main characters along, guiding them to maturity.
