If you are looking for epic, this is it. From the dysfunctional family intrigues of the paranoid Herod's palace to the mass suicide of the Jews at Masada, Josephus--who apparently was at the siege of Jerusalem--relates the story of the Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire. I started reading this book because it was referenced in two others I have been reading; one on the copper scroll of Qumran--a list of treasures that may have been saved from the temple-- and another on the treasure that Titus took back to Rome that has since disappeared into the coffers of history. But I also found that the book puts a good deal of the events of the New Testament in context. With the background of the factional conflicts in the temple, particularly between the priests installed by Herod and those by the Jews themselves, it is easy to see how some of the actions of Christ could be seen as controversial or even threatening--like the raid on the moneychangers and the halting of lawfully carried out lapidation--given the Herodian expectations of conspiracy and the pressures on the temple caused by this. It also puts some of Christ's prophecies into perpective. Josephus himself has an almost modern sensibility, and his decriptions of the siege, the atrocities, the violence, the betrayals, the power stuggles and the intrigues is tinged with both horror and sympathy, outrage and sadness. It is often a moving chronicle of a people and thier struggles against a dominating power and the price they pay for thier survival.

Kén Cá Chọn Canh - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tùy Hầu Châu

A very difficult book. In his telling of a story in which a plague of blindness descends upon the world, Jose Saramago is unrelenting. He follows the story of the first people to suffer not only unexplainable blindness, but the ensuing consequences as they are quarantined in an asylum. The asylum becomes a microcosm of the world as it falls into anarchy and despair. Unrelenting, unrelenting, unrelenting. It is a remarkable piece of writing. I was left shaken, with more questions than answers. At its root is an invented scenario which, in the hands of a lesser writer, would have come across as a cheap and obvious contrivance. I am still not sure what to make of it. But it was an unusual journey.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Struan Reid

This book started off so slowly I was getting bored just waiting for the baby to be born. The characters were just stereotypes with no real depth and while the book is full of good ideas and themes, it just skipped along happily to its fairy tale ending with no repercussions. I didn't even mind the story lines that were left hanging because I really just didn't care. The book didn't draw me in.

I really enjoyed this. I've tried to read Cavafy before but the translations seemed stuffy - this new translation by the poet Aliki Barnstone is really immediate. Was especially struck by the historical dramatic monologues, which are pretty fascinating - especially those set at the juncture of classical paganism and Christianity, and concerning the emperor Julian (who tried to convert the empire back to paganism). If you're interested in classical culture, and like your Christianity as pagan as possible, then this stuff is great. Cavafy's an interesting poet in that he rarely uses figures - the odd simile, but hardly any metaphor - though apparently his Greek is very regular and musical and 'poetic', with a lot of rhyme, which thankfully, hasn't been attempted in this translation. Read it and you'll want to be by the mediterranean somewhere (to be fair, I usually want to be by the mediterranean somewhere). Though the poems on ageing and forbidden erotic love will make you sad.

I have such happy memories of reading Caroline Courtney's books -- my sister Heather was a regency romance junkie and for some reason, I bypassed her Georgette Heyers and scooped up her Caroline Courtneys. She had 8. I read them behind closed doors, not because my parents would mind my reading them, but because I was supposed to be doing homework. It was my year of "failing" (meaning I was no longer getting all As) and my parents had taken away my phone, and then my television-watching privileges, so that left ... books. I passed Courtney's books onto my friend Tricia, who was a romance junkie, and she read all eight very quickly. It was that time of life -- we could drive, we even had boyfriends, but what prom dress, what teenage boy, what in our lives could compare to the characters and stories in these books? The quiet, virtuous girls whom no one noticed but, when dressed in exquisite clothing, could reform rakes and take the lead of English society -- These books were pure escapism and still make me smile.
