Bộ Sách Giáo Dục Về Hoàn Thiện Bản Thân - Đừng Phê Bình Tôi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Reverend W Awdry

Fever was one of the most boring, long, and point less book with no excitement I ever read in my life. I really didn't like the book until the middle/end. In the beginning it was rather boring. I really didn't have a connection with this book until around the part when she was dreaming that she was under a tree and her grandfather traded on her. First the book Fever is very boring for one who likes violence in a book. Horror plays another roll in the story that makes me want to continue to read and this book .To me the horror wold be someone close that trades on you in an instinct (her grandfather). Time period of the book would make me not want to read it because it would make one think what if that happens to us? The description that I would give this book is boring but yet interesting. Only because of the way it changed my attention span so quickly.

This book came very close to receiving a 1-star rating (generally I reserve those for books which are so bad I can’t even finish them), but it did redeem itself a bit at the end. Of course, one cannot expect too much from a book on the subject of Hitler’s incestuous love affair with his much younger niece. It is by its nature a sensational subject, with little to offer in the way of exploring legitimate historical concerns (in the end, who cares what a historical figure did or did not do in bed?). The author is a playwright who has also written several other popular biographies, including those of de Sade and Nietszche. He has no historical training, and it shows in his use of sources, his prose, and his interests. Probably for me the biggest problem was the question of sources. Hayman sticks almost exclusively to secondary works and published memoirs, except where he has been pointed to a specific primary document by such a source. He is generally uncritical of his sources, accepting them at face value, and often treating vague recollections written decades after the fact as if they constituted “eyewitness testimony” in a court trial. When he is critical, it is usually because a source contradicts his own preconceptions, and he is inconsistent even about this; sources are treated as perfectly reliable in all respects except when the author chooses to undermine a piece of evidence. The poor documentation does not help. Two books by Joachim Fest are referenced (in abbreviated form) throughout the notes, but their full titles and citations do not appear in the bibliography. When I would check a source that was cited, I found, as often as not, that the wrong page had been referenced, or sometimes the wrong book entirely. Some quotes are so severely out of context as to suggest that the author never actually read the book, but found the quote in some other source and cited the original without checking it. Based on this flimsy evidence, Hayman tries to argue that there was a conspiracy to cover up the truth about Geli’s death. The “truth,” for him, is that Hitler shot her in a fit of possibly drunken pique when she began to resist his control. Ironically, however, he admits that had the Nazis themselves not issued a statement to the press, “the newspapers would have announced that Hitler’s niece had died after shooting herself accidentally, and, almost certainly, the official verdict would have been accidental death” (171). In order to explain this, he has to postulate the collusion of the Munich police with an extremist political party which was not in power, and to seek “contradictions” (often fabricated through his own mis-reading of sources) in the “testimony” of people who were often writing decades after the fact and the official police report made at the time. He makes much of the fact that an elderly deaf lady was not questioned, who lived in the same apartment building as the shooting, although it is unclear whether this would have been standard police procedure at the time and place. Indeed, much of his allegation of “conspiracy” needs to be examined in the light of standard procedure, about which he knows nothing whatsoever. Apart from this, much of the book is concerned with salacious details of Hitler’s supposed coprophagia, sado-masochism, and impotence. This is culled from the scurrilous gossip of former followers eager to distance themselves from the excesses of the regime, with no attention to the distinction between hearsay and evidence. Hayman does at least shield himself from indulging in slander by using terms like “if this is true…” but it is clear enough from the conclusions he draws that he believes it to be. The final chapter of the book puts the possible murder into historical context by examining some fairly good sources on the Holocaust with far more intelligent criticism than had been applied in the rest of the text. He does manage to use the psycho-historical speculations he has drawn to good effect here in discussing the possible motivations for this catastrophe, and for Hitler’s behavior after 1941 in general. Even with its shaky foundation, this section does have some interesting ideas to contribute, which more serious historians might follow up on to their credit. Certainly, the possibility that Hitler began his career of mass murder with the murder of the one woman he loved has a certain logical appeal, but that detail will probably never be proven. In any event, some work could still be done in examining the psychological effect of Geli Raubal’s death on the man and the movement.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cù Minh Nhật

This book is about a hippie commune in the 70's. It describes their struggles with the law and each other. They then move to Alaska because they think that nobody will care what they do there but soon find out that that is not the case. It is kind of crazy to imagine living that way and so it's quite interesting.

Well-written book with well developed characters and a surprising plot line. It's even more surprising to discover this is a first book by a woman of 90. the plot line nearly perfectly illustrates the novel's ideal motion-bearing framework. Very well written. What a life of tragedy -- what a strong spirit to stand beneath that sadness and extreme challenges. Well Done Dolores Durando.

Một Giọt Đàn Bà (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Ngọc Thạch

If nothing else, read Moncrieff's translation to seep yourself in the highly latinate, generally overeducated and comfortably contorted prose ('But the adroitness with the want of which we are reproaching him would have debarred the sublime impulse of seizing the sword which, at that moment, made him appear so handsome in the eyes of Mademoiselle de La Mole') -- it will do wonders for the style of your work emails. Trust me on this one. What to say about Stendhal? I think he exists halfway between Austen and Dostoevsky. The Red and the Black is fundamentally a novel of manners concerned with class mobility and lack thereof, as with Austen, but with a healthy dose of bombast that Dostoevsky so enjoys. A great bulk of action occurs in drawing rooms and such, though not all. Stendhal lacks Austen's narrow provincialism, and the characters certainly lack the British reserve. Where Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy may achieve their final unbridled passionate consummation by holding hands, Stendhal's lovers will fornicate wildly under the cover of night with the aid of purloined ladders, sometimes each desperately trying to believe they feel what they think they should feel while their primary concern is really with who gets the better of whom. Or sometimes the love is impossibly sweet and self sacrificing, unyielding and frightfully destructive. Some time ago I heard the sixteen year old girl next door have a clandestine, tearful conversation with someone much quieter in front of our houses at two in the morning on a weekday. Overheard in brief moments of wakefulness -- 'Don't run away from me -- I'll chase you.' -- a bit of quaver in the voice, it's taking some bravery, so aware of how she's exposing herself yet finding herself proud of how the words sound. Like she's trying on a daring dress, looking at herself in the mirror, both scandalized and seduced by the effect. That's what Stendhal is all about -- that moment of discovery.
