Verisimilitude is one thing, but Gaynor McGrath’s novel Lemniscate reads so much like a memoir, that it’s hard to believe it didn’t all happen verbatim. Elsie is a young Australian traveler, exploring a world in a way which was popular in the 1970s, and is not really possible anymore. Elsie is backpacking throughout the Middle East and Asia, searching for herself. It’s a road trip full of the kind of interesting elements you could never get with money and a tour guide. Told in first person present tense, the story unfolds slowly as Elsie works her way through the inner and outer journey that the title calls attention to. It’s not just any lemniscate, but the Lemniscate of Gerono: the infinity symbol which has a double point of origin and curves back on itself. It’s a good title and a good description of Elsie’s journey, which is always self-reflective. At times, Elsie is almost too wide-eyed and open, working through her quest with a naivety that is as irritating as it is charming. As a fellow traveller, I might have looked upon her adventures like one of the Christian missionaries she meets: horrified about her drug addicted roommates, the unwashed state of everything, and the casual sleeping arrangements. The mother in me wants to shake her, as surely as her own mother would have wanted to. But I can clearly remember being similar in my youth: able to walk into seedy situations with just that combination of innocence, confidence and acceptance to stay more or less safe. Elsie stays safe too, though she comes pretty close to danger at times. She gets various bouts of stomach pains, infections and dysentery; has a range of propositions and strange romances, including a marriage proposal from an Afghani prince; and has a bus accident in Indonesia. The reader moves along the lemniscate path with Elsie, as she tries to make sense of what she sees, and work out what it means to her own life in its broadest context. Throughout the book the writing is descriptive and interesting, full of the sights, sounds and tastes of the places she visits. The book takes the reader to places that are both exotic, and made familiar by human elements. Elsie is never imperialistic, and takes the people she meets and the countries she explores on their own terms. At one point she even criticises one of her traveling companions for taking too strong a line against a man who has groped her. One of her most compelling traveling companions, Kiwi, pops up again and again in a series of coincidences, and later becomes particularly important in pulling together the thread between Elsie's travels and her life in Australia. His ravaged appearance, and 'citizen of the world' stance mirrors her own, and provides a neat constant where everything else is in flux and when Elsie is beginning to wonder if she fits anywhere. Elsie’s continuing and varied romances see her engaged to a doctor, skippering a boat in Queensland, and living as a single mother in Paros, Greece. At times the story bogs with so many romances and the repetition in theme, as each romance ends with an adoration that never goes quite far enough to incite change. But Elsie’s toughness, and ability to survive a range of situations is convincing enough to keep the story moving forward. A lot of ground is covered in Lemniscate. Through the lens of Elsie’s introspection, the reader explores the 1970s backpacking scene. The novel also looks at the greed of Western life and contrasts it with the simple life that she learns to live on her travels and in Greece. Elsie's attempts to cope with the narrow minded Christianity and expectations of her family contrast well with the cultural diversity of the countries she visits. Although Elsie's struggles are never idealised, there is poignancy in how she manages to integrate and set up a rhythm in whatever culture she immerses herself in. This is a powerful memoir-styled fiction with a strong ring of reality. There are plenty of grubby moments and close calls, but this is ultimately a travalogue that celebrates love in all of it forms.

one of the best books ever written on interface design. the authors take a methodical Bauhaus approach to explaining visual design. they supply ample case studies showing the good and bad of visual interface design. many of the examples are from os design, but are instructive for anyone doing web based interface design. this does not cover interaction or strategic design.

Mùa Xa Nhà Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thành Nhân

Horrifying. Dark. Scary. This book disturbed me greatly. And although I will never ever ever never read this book again, it definitely had some draw to it. Maybe it was the characters and how real they seemed, especially Ralph, Piggy and Jack. One of the only reasons I was able to finish this book in the time that I did was because of the characters and wanting to know what happened to them. Ralph and Piggy were my favourite characters, I have to say. I liked how they weren't perfect. Anyway, I would say, only read this if you have to. Like say, if you have to read it for English class, like me. Otherwise, I'm sure there's something else you would like better. Unless, that is, this genre appeals to you. Like my English teacher.

I really did not like Grace at all, but somewhere about halfway- when I realised what was happening- this big ball of pity just started snowballing from there. I still don't like her, and I think she didn't handle situations as well as she could have, but I guess everyone has their faults. Ethan and Devon were the best parts of the book, in my opinion, which is weird (view spoiler). The cover is gorgeous.

Kurzbeschreibung: Leser, nimm dich in Acht! Was nun folgt, ist ein Märchen. Ein Märchen?, wirst du vielleicht denken. Märchen sind doch Kinderkram! Doch in diesem Märchen hüpfen keine kleinen Mädchen mit roten Kappen fröhlich durch den Wald. Was zwischen diesen Seiten auf dich lauert, ist die wahre Geschichte von Hänsel und Gretel - ein Märchen voller dunkler Zauberer, gefährlicher Hexen und todbringender Drachen. Tritt ein. Dieses Märchen ist vielleicht furchterregend, sicherlich blutig und definitiv nichts für Angsthasen; aber anders als alle anderen Märchen, die du kennst, ist dieses hier wahr. Zum Autor: Adam Gidwitz verbrachte seine Kindheit in Baltimore, USA. Heute lebt er in Brooklyn, New York, und unterrichtet größere und nicht ganz so große Kinder an der Saint Ann's Grundschule. Adam schreibt nur über Dinge, die er selbst erlebt hat. All die dunklen und grimmigen Gefahren, in die Hänsel und Gretel in diesem Buch geraten, sind auch Adam passiert. Und sie passieren wahrscheinlich jedem, der einmal ein Kind war. Rezension: Wer kennt es nicht, das Märchen von Hänsel und Gretel? Doch kennt ihr auch die wirkliche und wahre Geschichte der beiden? Ich bisher nicht, zumindest nicht vor dieser Lektüre...Hänsel und Gretel sind nämlich die Sprößlinge eines Königshauses, aus dem sie bei Nacht und Nebel flüchten. Denn wer will schon von den eigenen Eltern die Köpfe abgehackt bekommen? Und so machen sich die beiden auf eine Reise durch verschiedene Grimm'sche Märchen, wie z.B. "Der Teufel mit den drei goldenen Haaren", "Brüderchen und Schwesterchen" und "Die sieben Raben" (die hier allerdings etwas anders betitelt werden). Auf ihrer Reise geht es brutal und blutig zu, kommen doch Themen wie Selbstverstümmelung, die atemberaubende Flucht aus der Hölle und ein spannender Kampf gegen einen Drachen zur Sprache. Adam Gidwitz verwebt die einzelnen Märchen gekonnt in eine stimmige und GRIMMige Geschichte um das berühmte Geschwisterpaar und lässt es sich nicht nehmen, als begleitender Erzähler mit durch die Geschichte der beiden zu wandern, um den Leser immer wieder vorzuwarnen, wie schrecklich es weitergehen wird, was optisch als fettgedruckter Text gut gegenüber der Geschichte abgesetzt wurde. Das empfohlene Lesealter für 10- bis 12-jährige Leser würde ich nicht unterstreichen, da schon recht brutale und blutige Szenen vorkommen und nicht jedes Kind in diesem Alter schon damit umzugehen weiß, dass die eigentlichen Grimm'schen Märchen wirklich drastisch in ihrer Schilderung waren, zumal man ja eher mit den gängigen, "jugendfreien" Versionen vertraut ist. Man sollte daher als Erwachsener vor dem Kauf am Besten selbst erst einmal hineinlesen. Mir hat die wahre Geschichte von Hänsel und Gretel ausnehmend gut gefallen. Endlich mal kein Märchen, das mit "Es war einmal..." und "Sie lebten glücklich und zufrieden bis ans Ende ihrer Tage" anfängt und endet, sondern auch in den Bereich der Skurrilität vorstößt und gehörigen Wortwitz mitbringt. Besonders die Hexe aus dem Knusperhäuschen, bei der es sich laut Gidwitz nur um eine Bäckersfrau handelt, die nach dem Tod ihres Kindes merkt, wie gut eigentlich Menschenfleisch schmeckt, ist hier zu erwähnen. Absolut GRIMMig! Zur Gestaltung des Buchs: Das dunkelblaue Cover ziert ein wunderschöner schwarzer Scherenschnitt, der Hänsel und Gretel und ein paar grimmige Zeitgenossen aus den verschiedenen Märchen zeigt. Diese Scherenschnitte wiederholen sich auch jeweils an den Kapitelanfängen, in denen die jeweils vorkommenden Figuren zu sehen sind. Fazit: Adam Gidwitz ist eine wirklich GRIMMige Geschichte gelungen, die uns das Hänsel und Gretel-Märchen, wie es wirklich war, präsentiert: Blutig, brutal und mit einem Augenzwinkern. Für Kinder allerdings nicht unbedingt geeignet!

Well, for starters: Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey? That's a science fiction combination that can't miss. This book almost made me cry. I loved the description of Tia's childhood and her precociousness and to see her lose that for what I would deem an unacceptable alternative is heart-breaking. I don't know if I could forget a life as a regular human being to become a shell-person. Luckily (or maybe not), that decision is closed to me.
