Daniel Silva has written several books about the "reluctant" Israeli spy, Gabriel Allon. Sometimes a bit depressing regarding terrorists, but compelling reading.

Hình Thành Lòng Tự Tin Cho Trẻ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hà Sơn

Almost a week later, I'm still pondering the ending of Beatrice and Virgil, the most recent novel by Life of Pi author Yann Martel. For Pi alums, that won't entirely surprise you. To me, a book that grabs you on the first page, keeps you moving steadily and with increasing intensity, shocks and surprises and offers you intriguing glimpses into an array of human endeavors, and then leaves you rather gratified yet stunned and moved at the end: All that rolled into one spells one fine book. Here, Martel returns to his explorations of inter-textuality and of our human drive to recreate our messy lives in somewhat tidier or at least more fathomable stories. And again we begin in one fictional reality and then journey with his central character, in this case a writer named Henry who echoes Martel himself, into an allegorical world of uncertainty, challenge, wry humor, and even violence, and finally return to a reality parallel to our own to reflect on the horrors that leach into our workaday lives no matter how carefully we strive to deflect them. And it will come as no surprise that in his attempt to bring renewed immediacy to literature of the Holocaust, Martel reaches back to the Absurdists to frame some of his allegorical commentary. The world within a world here is not a high-seas adventure as in Life of Pi, but rather a Beckettian play starring a donkey and a howler monkey within the frame of a writer's attempt to recreate his life in a foreign city when his writing career stalls. The questions Martel explores with us include a Life of Pi-esque focus on the cruelty of humans toward not only their own species but toward all other animals as well. Yet what makes all the difference here is protagonist Henry's central question: How might one write about the Holocaust in a manner that offers the philosophical & historical depth of an essay and the freshness of narrative fiction? Beatrice and Virgil acts as a vehicle to explore this question, and although certainly we see some comparable concerns and devices to those in Life of Pi, neither the intention nor the result is in any way similar. When it was first released, some critics railed at the very thought of a non-Jew writing a book attempting - in any way - to address the Holocaust. If you are willing to move beyond that concern to embrace a novel that respects its content but takes a unique tack in attempting to make us re-see an ever-present and understandably oft-treated topic, then you would do well to set aside a few hours for Beatrice and Virgil. In my estimation, better to stretch toward greatness on a challenging subject than to set one's writerly sights low and create a neatly constructed but depthless work In truth, saying any more than this would spoil your potential experience of Beatrice and Virgil, and I want you to read it.

Tử Vi Đẩu Số - Kinh Điển Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phan Tử Ngư

I wanted to give this book three stars, but seeing that I didn't really love the story or connect to the characters much until the last 60 or so pages...2 stars it is. Alice Hoffman's writing usually has a magical quality which I enjoy, but it seemed to lack a little or maybe even hinder the story. The sentences seemed to me very short and choppy. The words didn't flow. Maybe, it's because it is a young adult novel, but I have read so many great ya novels lately that that can not be the excuse. This novel is more on the juvenille level...I wanted it to be so much more moving considering the subject matter.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Đăng Khoa

I loved this book. It took me to another world! The writing was very good but I think it was a bit sophisticated for a childrens book. The main character was a little annoying but the descriptions were fantastic. I really lost myself in this one!

Gieo Mầm Tính Cách - Lịch Sự Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I read this book with tears in my eyes. The story of how Lady Liberty came to be - a gift from the French and a sculptor's life dream. The French people raising money so that it could come to fruition while America denied funds for it. Joseph Pulitzer puts a call out to Americans to send money to help with the building of the statue and Americans heed the call, a little girl even sending two chickens for Mr. Pulitzer to sell for the cause. The hope people felt upon seeing her is palpable in this book. Perfect for older kids to teach how great this country is.

This was definitely not very worth reading...For me at least. It was like listening to a guy talking to a baby.

Tô Màu Công Chúa - Công Chúa Phương Đông Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

This book is a bit beyond me, but interesting, nonetheless. I would personally be quite cautious trying the recommendations without working with someone who clearly knew what they were doing. But I like know there are some good herbal treatments available.
