Khi Cà Chớn Gặp Cà Chua (Tái Bản) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Have read whole series (out of sheer stubbornness). Loved this first one, but they steadily went downhill from there and Terry Goodkind just got preachy to the point of madman-on-a-soapbox-in-Times-Square.

Bẻ Khóa Bí Mật Triệu Phú (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: William D. Danko, Ph.D

In the beginning, I was highly disappointed with the final installment of this series. It was very slow starting and a little long-winded. Don't get me wrong, I love a good LONG book, but it needs to be filled with something! I found myself tempted to skip ahead because I was getting a little bored. However, the ending makes up for it. While I wish it would have ended differently, I still have closure, which is necessary for me to move on from a series. I gave this book a 4 out of 5, only because of the culmination of events that ended the book, though without that it would not have fared so well.

Phong Tục Tập Quán Về Hôn Nhân Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Vương Trạch Thu

Al principio la idea d un mundo en el q el amor es una enfermedad y se cura me sonaba excesivamente extraña, como muchas veces me pasa con las sinopsis de libros distópicos, pero como tenía excelentes críticas pillé una muy buena oferta y lo compré. Las primeras páginas ya me han enganchado y aquello q me había parecido un tanto absurdo/rebuscado me ha parecido una excelente idea. La verdad es q el amor, cuando aparece, se apodera d nuestras vidas, d nuestra voluntad y d nuestro presente y futuro, y puedo comprender una sociedad en la q eso se vea como algo malo, pq es una d las fuerzas más grandes del mundo, pero ya no sólo hacia tu pareja, sino hacia tus hijos, amigos...Sin amor la gente es mucho más "estable" y manipulable. Casi no hay emociones ni deseos ni sueños, no hay ni fuerza de voluntad, pq nada ni nadie t importa lo suficiente como para rebelarte. A través d la protagonista sientes la magia d cosas simples y q en nuestro mundo son tan comunes como la música, las risas, los juegos, las muestras d afecto...y eso me ha encantado. La manera d escribir y expresar de la autora es preciosa, aunque el segundo tercio del libro no me ha tenido tan enganchada, como q le faltaba algo, aunque no sabría decir q es, pero el final me ha tenido devorando las páginas, una tras otra. Espero tener en breve la continuación en mis manos, pq ese final me ha dejado realmente preocupada.

Tam Quốc Diễn Nghĩa (Hộp 3 Tập) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: La Quán Trung

自分がつくるものによって、人間らしい関係を築きたい。 「人間は、人間同志、地球を包んでしまうような網目を作り上げたとはいえ そのつながりは、まだまだ本当に人間らしい関係になっているとはいえない。 「本当に人間らしい関係とは、どういう関係だろう。　(・・・) 人間が人間同志、お互いに、好意をつくし、それを喜びとしているほど美しいことは、他にありはしない」 私は「生産関係」の中で、「生産している人」の中にいる。 ずっと「消費している人」でいるのが怖かったから就職した。 だからといって、会社の管理部門で、求めている「人間らしい関係」や価値提供ができているとは思えない。 学生のやり方で「生産している人」として学び、表現していくことは、不安でしかなかった。 社会を知らないひとりよがりの生産になってしまう、と怖がっていた。 つまり、何をしてても怯える日々だ。 どこに行っても、いい・悪いが紙一重の状態で待っている。 私は生産者でいたい。 つくるものを媒介にして、誰か個人に触れたい。 互いが互いを意味付けられるなら、どんなに美しいだろう。

Người Phụ Nữ Khôn Ngoan Biết Rằng ... Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phạm Thị Ngọc

First of all, get this straight: Heart of Darkness is one of those classics that you have to have read if you want to consider yourself a well-educated adult. That’s the bad news; the good news is that this is a very easy book to read — tremendously shorter than Moby-Dick , for instance. And the prose is easy to swallow, so you don’t really have an excuse. Having watched Apocalypse Now doesn’t count — if anything, it ups the ante, since that means you have to think about the similarities and differences (for example, contrast and compare the U.S. involvement in Vietnam with the Belgian rule over the Congo. Actually quite an intriguing and provocative question). Even though it is so much easier to read, this short novel shares with Moby-Dick the distressing fact that it is heavily symbolic. Frankly, I was trained as an engineer, and have to struggle even to attempt to peer through the veils of meaning, instead of just kicking back and enjoying the story. My solution: when I checked this outta the library, I also grabbed the Cliff’s Notes. I read the story, then thought about it, then finally read the Study Guide to see what I’d missed. And it was quite a bit. Like, the nature of a framed narrative: the actual narrator in Heart of Darkness isn’t Marlow, but some unnamed guy listening to Marlow talk. And he stands in for us, the readers, such as when he has a pleasant perspective on the beautiful sunset of the Thames at the beginning of the story, then at the end he has been spooked and sees it as leading “into the heart of an immense darkness”, much as the Congo does in the story (hint: the darkness is simultaneously the real unknown of the jungle, as well as the symbolic “darkness” that hides within the human heart, and thus also pervades society — so London, just upstream, really should be understood to be as frightening as the Congo). My initial take on the story was that it seemed anachronistic and naive. Actually, it felt a lot like Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray . In both books, the main character has inadvertently received license to fully explore their evil inclinations without the normal societal consequences, and yet they both pay the ultimate penalty for their lack of restraint. But my perspective on evil was long ago captured by Hannah Arendt’s conclusion after analyzing Eichmann: evil is a “banal” absence of empathy; it isn’t some malevolent force striving to seduce and corrupt us. Certainly, there are evil acts and evil people, but nothing mystical or spiritual that captures and enslaves, much less transforms us from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. Golding’s Lord of the Flies examined similar questions, but did it a way that feels much more modern. If people aren’t reminded by the constraints of civilization to treat others with respect, then sometimes they’ll become brutal and barbaric. But is their soul somehow becoming sick and corrupted? The question no longer resonates. Even Conrad actually didn’t seem too clear on that question. These two quotes are both from Heart of Darkness — don’t they seem implicitly contradictory?: The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. and Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn’t touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror—of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath: ‘The horror! The horror!’ The former denies any supernatural origin for evil, but the latter alludes to the tragic results of a Faustian bargain — Marlowe sold his soul to see what mortals should never witness. After pondering the study guide, I could see the allegorical content better. The mystical side of Heart of Darkness isn’t the only thing going on. Like the kids rescued from the island after Lord of the Flies, Marlow will forever be cognizant of how fragile civilized behavior can be, and how easily some slip into brutality — even those that have excellent motives and apparently unblemished characters. This is why he tells this as a cautionary tale to his shipmates on the Thames. Marlow also received a clear lesson on hypocrisy. I hadn’t seen how deeply “The Company” represented European hypocrisy. Obviously “The Company” was purely exploitative and thus typical of imperialism, but in subtle ways Conrad made it not just typical but allegorically representative. One example Cliff mentions scares me just a bit: in the offices of “The Company” in Brussels, Marlow notices the strange sight of two women knitting black wool. Conrad provides no explanation. But recall your mythology: the Fates spun out the thread that measured the lives of mere mortals. In the story, these are represented as women who work for “The Company”, which has ultimate power over the mere mortals in Africa. That’s pretty impressive: Conrad tosses in a tiny aside that references Greek (or Roman or Germanic) mythology and ties it both to imperialism, as well as to the power that modern society has handed to corporations, and quietly walks away from it. How many other little tidbits are buried in this short book? Frankly, it seems kind of spooky. The study guide also helped me understand what had been a major frustration of the book. I thought that Conrad had skipped over too much, leaving crucial information unstated. Between Marlow’s “rescue” of Kurtz and Kurtz’s death there are only a few pages in the story, but they imply that the two had significant conversations that greatly impressed Marlow, that left Marlow awestruck at what Kurtz had intended, had survived, and had understood. These impressions are what “broke” Marlow, but we are never informed of even the gist of those conversations. But Marlow isn’t our narrator: he is on the deck of a ship, struggling to put into words a story that still torments him years after the events had passed. Sometimes he can’t convey what we want to know; he stumbles, he expresses himself poorly. The narrator is like us, just listening and trying to make sense out of it, and gradually being persuaded of the horrors that must have transpired. •     •     •     •     •     •     •     • Addendum: Conrad’s Heart of Darkness was written in 1899. A critical event which allowed the tragedy portrayed here was the Berlin Conference of 1884 (wikipedia), where the lines that divided up Africa were tidied up and shuffled a bit by the white men of Europe (no Africans were invited). The BBC4 radio programme In Our Time covered the conference on 31 October 2013. Listen to it streaming here, or download it as an MP3 here. Forty-three minutes of erudition will invigorate your synapses. Oh, if you liked that In Our Time episode, here is the one they did on the book itself (mp3). ­

Dịch Vụ Giao Hàng Của Phù Thủy Kiki Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kadono Eiko

I didn't enjoy Kim as a literary work, and honestly I think it gets much of its cache from its rich details about the people and religions of India in the 19th century. I understand that as a picaresque novel that is kind of the point, but I didn't understand Kim, the main character, in the slightest. It felt like he existed to join all of India together, but I never found him to be a believable character.

Phew. I hate it when I finish a book and feel relieved that now I can move on to something else. How could a novel with international travel, history, multiple love stories AND Dracula be so tedious? There were enough embers of interest to help me decide to keep reading its 676 pages, but it never really caught fire for me. Yay! I'm done!
