Well, I made my way through most of this thing, but it's definitely something I'll come back to, again and again and again. Frankly, I think that it would have been better to start elsewhere, perhaps with Writing and Difference, or, better yet, Speech and Phenomena. I've found that the more I've learned about the roots of Derrida's though (mainly in phenomenology), the easier it is to understand what he's getting at.

Chuyện Tình Chính Khách Việt Nam Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

It’s winter 1883 and work on the last stretch of Canada’s railway to the Pacific has frozen to a halt in the formidable Rockies. Several hundred men are hunkered into a shantytown while tempers flare over cards, encouraged by powerful elixirs from illegal stills. One night a section boss is found bludgeoned to death. In this raw part of the new frontier, the semblance of law must be maintained. High-profile politicians and businessmen have a stake in this costly but glorious national effort to unite the Canadian wilderness from sea to sea. Durrant Wallace, a veteran North West Mounted Police officer, has been trying to return to active duty after losing a leg three years ago. So far his superiors in Fort Calgary have found him quick to anger and quicker with a gun. With a family tragedy tormenting him, this could be his last chance at self-respect. He’s popped onto a train with little more than a change of clothes and sent to the end of the line where everybody’s a suspect in this grisly slaying. How will he make his way through the heavy snow and bitter cold which await? With only a mute young boy Charlie by his side as an aide to offset his mobility problems, Wallace is given a tiny cabin for his headquarters. He soon discovers that many factions are protecting their interests and making as much money out of the rail business as possible. Wallace has few forensic aids to help him in Queen Victoria’s time, only his common sense, pluck, a talent for clever interviewing and even better bluff. If he can’t handle these tough and lawless men, he’ll have to creep back east as a failure. Little by little, the inner forces which have given this man a second chance at dignity are revealed. His handicap figures from the beginning scenes to the thrilling conclusion: “He could feel the nub of skin and bone where the prosthetic’s suction socket affixed to his ruined leg bled openly. By the time the track began to level out and the forest opened to reveal a star-filled sky, he could feel the blood staining his trousers and growing tacky in the heel of his boot.” With scientific precision and a touch of humanity, Legault describes Wallace’s prosthesis. The advances in artificial limbs made out of necessity during the American Civil War have arrived just in time for this active and valuable man. But does he dare get back on a horse again? With damage to his arm as well, he has learned to shoot all over again. Those who regard him as a helpless cripple will do so at their own peril. Legault, who has two environmentally-themed novels set in the present in the west, stretches his writer’s legs with this fascinating historical maiden effort. His extensive research, as documented in the back of the book, involves firearms, the development of the nitro and dynamite industry, the contentious politics of a young country, and the fascinating details of everyday living. It’s clear that the author spent considerable time reading about life in these rough camps, from the loud and sweaty dining hall with the inedible pie (but at least there WAS pie) to the fragile telegraph line that links the outpost to the outside world. And no troops are going to ride to the rescue with twenty-five feet of snow and a temperature of -35C. Wallace makes a challenging hero. He’s not Mr. Nice Guy. This is a dangerous business which calls for gutsy methods and little compromise. But neither does he feel sorry for himself. To the final chapter, there is no question of whether the last spike will be hammered. But how many more deaths will add to the toll taken by this massive effort? Wallace is a metaphor for the fledgling country herself. Neither one can give up cherished dreams. It looks like the sturdy sergeant will have many fine adventures ahead in this compelling series.

Truyện Cổ Tích Về Các Nàng Công Chúa - Công Chúa Thông Minh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

2.5 stars When Keith's father, a producer who works in the music business, is shot and killed, Keith and his mother are left with nothing. All of the family's savings are gone, and they are forced to move from Brooklyn to live with his father's sister Berny in a small town in Ohio. Keith, who is biracial and wears his hair in an afro and clothes from the 1970s, definitely stands out at his new school. But his style and his love of Jimi Hendrix - his father's favorite musician - make him feel closer to his father. Though Keith is having trouble accepting his new environment, he does his best to deal with his grief and stay strong. But then his mother makes a shocking discovery that could destroy Keith's idealized image of his dad forever. This novel in verse has an interesting premise, but the plot is slow to get going and then becomes a little melodramatic at the end. Though I have enjoyed some novels in verse, in this case, the format didn’t work for me. The poetry was a little clunky at times and it seemed like it could have just as easily been prose. However, Adoff does a decent job of expressing what it’s like for teens who are biracial or simply feel that they don’t fit in as well as those who are dealing with grief over loss of a loved one.

This guy is fantastic! Combining a deep knowledge of Crusade era history with his own ground breaking writing style Cook hits the mark dead on with this one. the only problem, if it can be so-called), is that there are so many twists and turns it's impossible to grasp everything with one reading.

Không Nổi Tiếng Cũng Đâu Có Sao! - Phát Hành Dự Kiến 22/03/2018 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lương Nguyễn An Điền

OK, I admit it. I never understood the allure of this book. The main characters are heinous, vile people and while they may deserve each other I really could not care less about either of them. Heathcliff may be a version of Nietzsche's Uberman, but seriously - if this is what Superman is like, give me Lex Luthor. Bronte's writing style is impeccable, though, hence the three stars...and I will admit that reading it made me long to visit the moors.

Sự Tích A La Hán Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Is this book heavyhanded? Yes. Does it at times read like the author had a list of minorities to include she was checking off as she went? Yes. Does it feel a bit off to have a book lampooning beauty standards in which the entire cast are in fact beauty queens even if they aren't all happy about it? Yeah it does. Does it still have plenty of positive messages that I feel teenage girls would benefit from? Definitely. Even if she gets it a bit wrong, I'd still prefer a book with it's heart in the right place when it comes to inclusiveness and social justice issues than one that just ignores them like most books.
