Bóng Ma Trong Nhà Hát Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This is a subtle book with glorious language. The characters experience silence in such an eloquent way - I think if this was a film the silences would be portrayed as meaningful expressions. Crossing the ocean as a teen and making a new life for herself in America proves to be a very satisfying tale. I did think back on my grandparents (and Marco's parents journey) and cannot conceive of what it would have been like to arrive in a new land knowing no one. (I imagine it was a million times harder with a language barrier!) This is a quick read.

My 11th grade daughter is reading this for school so I'm reading it as well to remind myself and hopefully be able to help her. Although I had the best intentions, I'm giving up on this book. My daughter has moved on in school and I never had the time (or the inclination) to finish it on my own. Maybe I'll give it another try when my next child is assigned it. ;)

Proclamation Of Victory - Bình Ngô Đại Cáo (Anh - Việt - Trung) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This starts out so promising - absorbing, ethereal. About two-thirds of the way through, when the narrative shifts away from how the narrator is coping with stepping up into the role of a Royal Princess and becomes Empress herself, the plot and pacing gives way to a less than satisfying rehashing of earlier themes and experiences. There is a touch of Memoirs of a Geisha here, for better or for worse.

Chicken Soup 9 - Vòng Tay Của Mẹ - Tái bản 05/12/2012 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mark Victor Hansen

An eerie look at the psychological state of a Vietnam vet after his recent failed campaign for the US Senate. Suppressed memories of the experience of My Lai haunt John Wade and effect his psyche, his political career, and his relationship with his wife. Worthwhile to read as it 1) allows the reader to come to the conclusion he/she believes best fit, 2) addresses an individual's dealing with the past.

Từ Vựng Triết Thần Căn Bản (Pháp Việt - Anh Việt) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngô Minh

When I read it for the first time in my 14 I gave it 5 stars. However now I read it 8 years later and I have to lower rating to 4 stars. I still loved it but there was way too much... well... weird, nonsensical stuff. And also I haven't fall in love with Tarik at all, but with Cole and I was so damn disappointed in the half of the book, when Deveraux told us what he really is... Nevertheless, it's still really good, catchy book, so I recommend it!

This account of David Brainerd's exploits among the American Indians in the 1740s does not belong on your light-reading list. The style is typical for the 18th century -- long sentences, longer paragraphs, familiar words which don't mean what you would expect... The content is even murkier. Jonathan Edwards warns in a preface that Brainerd is "prone to melancholy and dejection of spirit." This is quite an understatement. Brainerd begins his entries by recording the utter despondence he feels because he does not trust that he is truly "saved." To this reader, it appears that the author did, in fact, have a good understanding of God's grace. He perhaps had a hard time accepting the grace for himself. (If interested in my journal of this time in Brainerd's life, read my blog: http://mrsundquist.blogspot.com/2010/...) After having an experience in which Brainerd receives "assurance of salvation," Brainerd seems to spend the rest of his life oscillating between states of dejection and rapture. He continues to have periods of serious depression and feelings of worthlessness on regular bases. His spirituality when he is feeling "high" is very serious and outward focused. He often states that he longs for heaven not so that he can be in a better place, but so that he can better give glory to God. He seems to save little room in his diary for anything other than thoughts of a spiritual nature. Those who knew him stated he was a very spiritual person. The diary takes a long time in getting to any accounts with American Indians, focusing primarily on the author's inner spiritual life. But once it starts recording encounters with the American Indians it does not disappoint. Brainerd had many thoughts concerning the indigenous which would be very improper for today. He hardly references the natives without calling them "poor Indians" and other somewhat patronizing terms. He does not respect the American Indian culture, expressing thoughts to Europeanize them after they convert to Christianity. However, for his time Brainerd displays amazing tolerance and progressive thinking. His decision to live among the so-called "heathens" was unprecedented, and he gives an account of helping one tribe to save their land from unfair treaties. He also describes an account of a shaman whom he first fears, but later learns to respect as the shaman shares many of the same values as he. They follow the same God, but may worship him in different ways. (The account may be read at my blog here: http://mrsundquist.blogspot.com/2011/...) I am a little sorry to rate this book down. It is due to the book's old writing style, slow start, my distaste for Brainerd's constant depression and seriousness, and his disrespect of the Indians. I did enjoy interacting with the book very much, and there were certainly parts which will be quite memorable. But I would not be eager to read books very similar to this one, and so I must leave the rating at a 2 out of 5.

Việt Nam Phong Tục (Tái Bản) (Bìa Mềm) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

‘Trapped‘ habe ich sowohl in der überarbeiteten Fassung gelesen als auch in der ungeschnittenen Fassung überflogen und ich bin sehr überrascht gewesen, welche deutlichen Unterschiede es gab und habe mich vor allem gewundert, wie es zu solchen Entscheidungen kommen konnte, da vor allem die auffälligste Änderung meiner Meinung nach die zweite Fassung schlechter macht und der für mich einzige auffallende negative Aspekt des ganzen Buches war. Jack Kilborn hat es schon mit den ersten Seiten geschafft, mich vollkommen zu packen, mich neugierig zu machen und eine richtig unheimliche Atmosphäre zu schaffen, so dass sich einem die Haare aufstellen. Der Klappentext bereitet den Leser nur ansatzweise darauf vor, was ihm mit diesem Buch bevorsteht und schockt somit schon mit der Anfangsszene, die auf den ersten Moment völlig unpassend zur eigentlichen Geschichte zu sein scheint. Hinter der eigentlichen Geschichte, dass sich eine Gruppe von Jugendlichen + 2 Erwachsene auf einer einsamen Insel plötzlich einer Gruppe von Kannibalen ausgesetzt sieht, dass eine Lagerfeuer-Geschichte plötzlich wahr zu werden scheint, ist bloß der Anfang und behält so einige Schocker und eine große Portion Grauen bereit. Denn auf dieser Insel sollte man sich nicht nur vor den Kannibalen in Acht nehmen… Häppchenweise löst man das Geheimnis dieser Insel, lernt die Grauen kennen, die diese bereit hält und ist dabei sowohl völlig gepackt von diesem atemraubenden Abenteuer, dass einem bis unter die Haut geht, als auch geschockt von seinen Grausamkeiten, seinen abartigen Horrorszenarien, in die man sich eigentlich gar nicht so richtig wagt, sich hineinzuversetzen. Immer wieder aufs Neue macht die Handlung absolut krasse Wendungen durch, die einen selbst erst einmal fassungslos zurück lassen und dazu führen, dass man sich sammeln muss, bevor man weiter liest. Einerseits hatte ich immer wieder den Gedanken im Kopf ‘ich mag mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie es sein muss, in einer solchen Situation zu sein, solche Schmerzen ertragen zu müssen’ und zeitgleich war ich gefesselt von den Beschreibungen Kilborns. Er hält hier perfekt die Waage, denn einerseits gibt er genug Details, er beschreibt die Qualen der Charaktere so tiefgehend, dass man sich in diese hineinversetzen kann und ihre Schmerzen und Ängste nachvollziehen kann, andererseits treibt er es nicht zu weit und bietet dem Leser noch eine gewisse Distanz. Diese Distanz bestand bei mir vor allem darin, dass ich mich nicht mit den Personen verbunden fühlte und ich somit zwar trotzdem nicht wollte, dass diese dieses Grauen erleben müssen, jedoch weniger empfindlich den Geschehnissen gegenüber war. Dies soll aber nicht bedeuten, dass die Charaktere schlecht gestaltet sind. Ganz im Gegenteil, denn man erhält sogar einen tieferen Einblick in das Leben der Personen, kurz und knapp aber detailliert ins Gesamtgeschehen eingearbeitet, nach und nach präsentiert, ohne den Fluss der Geschichte zu zerstören. Dadurch ermöglicht Kilborn dem Leser eine gute Vorstellung der Personen, man hat schnell Bilder dieser im Kopf, doch mir waren sie fast alle durchweg unsympathisch, was jedoch zu ihren Charakterzügen teilweise wiederrum passte. Hier kam auch der Aspekt auf, der mir während der Geschichte immer wieder sauer aufgestoßen ist: ein Baby. Ich fand dieses Baby durchgehend störend und vor allem die es enthaltenen Szenen oft unrealistisch. Es scheint sich um das perfekte Baby zu halten, da es in den genau richtigen Momenten teilweise nicht mal Anstalten macht zu weinen, selbst wenn die Mutter, die es in einer Trage um sich hat, gerade um ihr Leben kämpft. Dieses Baby gab es allerdings in der ersten Fassung nicht, was mir weit besser gefiel. Die zweite, überarbeitete Fassung von Trapped war durchgehend abgefahren, verrückt, grauenerregend und genauso wie ich solche Geschichten mag. Wer es dann noch ein wenig heftiger mag und dem auch der Sex nicht fehlen darf, sollte zur ungeschnittenen Fassung greifen, die dem ganzen nochmal die Krone aufsetzten. Jack Kilborn hat mich nun schon zum dritten Mal mit einer weiteren düsteren und schrägen Geschichte überzeugt, die es mir stellenweise eiskalt den Rücken hat runter laufen lassen und mir ein paar aufregende, nervenzerreißende Stunden bereitet hat.

I've read a few of these articles (betcher, grau, rieger). Postcolonial theology can be a jargon nightmare....but some of it (like Betcher and rieger!) are absolutely fabulous.

Truyện Cổ Tích Việt Nam - Tái bản 2012 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Thục Anh (Tuyển chọn)

This is a great collection of short stories, but not for the Prozac crowd. Good characters in often untenable situations deal with loss, alienation, betrayal, and despair. From a bizarre horror story set in France in the Middle Ages, to a GI on Guadalcanal, to three Polish mountaineers climbing in the Himilayas, there's something here for misanthropes of all kinds. My first e-book.

The books in this series are pretty OK. There are interesting parts but for the most part each story is kind of the same. It's certainly far from unpleasant but undoubtably repetitive. I'm doing the audiobook route for this series. Love the accent!
