Học Khôn Ngoan Mà Không Gian Nan (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Well, this baby partly explains why I haven't been keeping up with Nikki in number of titles, since it weighs in at just shy of 800 pages. I'm a great fan of Charles Dickens and have read several biographies, so I'm able to say that this novelization of his last five years is expert at accurately incorporating every detail of what is known about his life. It is also a quite plausible portrayal of Dickens himself. It purports to have been written by Wilkie Collins, Dickens' protege, partner, rival, and envious admirer. But you quickly learn that Collins, addicted to laudanum, opium, and eventually morphine, is anything but a reliable narrator, and once you've arrived there, the piling up of suspect, lurid, and horrific detail for another 600 pages gets very tedious even for a Dickens lover. (Drood, you see, is a vampire-like serial killer who...oh, never mind.) The historical detail is there, but it is almost always blended with such fantastic imaginings that you have to distrust almost everything Collins tells you. You just want to get to the end and find out how it will all come out. The verisimilitude is very good, with only a few missteps into modern diction, but there was what for me is an unforgivable mistake about the phase of the moon (my wife makes fun of me for my obsession about this, but in earlier centuries when people had no electricity and actually looked at the night sky, they didn't get it wrong. In the 20th century when writers try to evoke the moon in a night scene, they almost always screw it up. Simmons screwed it up.) Dickens is presented by the jealous Collins as being very full of himself (which he was), and when Dickens, who is not known for his skillful plots, repeatedly lectures Collins on how to construct one properly, you share Collins' irritation at his presumption. But then near the end there is an unforgettable scene in which Collins is riffling through a copy of Bleak House, looking for (and finding) reasons to tear it apart and satisfy his own ego, when he stumbles across a passage whose narrative genius throws him into despair. He is forced to admit to himself that if he lived a thousand years he would never, ever be able to write like that. Simmons honestly reveals in the acknowledgments that he got the material on Bleak House from a lecture by Vladimir Nabokov; but Simmons should get the credit for putting it to such good narrative use. But the book was nearly 800 pages! Another Goodreads reviewer said there was an excellent 350 page novel in here struggling to get out, and I think that was about right.

Another 'youngish' book, but it's truly beautiful. I hated the TV adaptation; that was complete trash.

Đạo Mẫu Việt Nam - Trọn Bộ 2 Tập Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngô Đức Thịnh

This book was not one of my favorites. To me there were too many details. It reads like some bizarre hybrid of Delillo's "Underworld" and V.C. "Andrews Flowers in the Attic." If you like both of those texts, God of Small Things is the book for you. If you are looking for a book to include in your syllabus in post-colonial literature, there are others that I would recommend. But don't let that stop you. Many people in the class did enjoy the book, I think the class was divided.

** spoiler alert ** I couldn't even finish this book. It took me forever to trudge through, and about 240 pages from the end, I realized that I didn't care what happened anymore. To say this book was over-written would be an understatement. I think Meyer would have an excellent story here if about 1/2 of it was edited out. If I had to read about Jacob & pals running around in circles one more time, I would've shot myself. And... um... creepy! Jacob imprinting on Renesmee. Gross.

Khơi Dậy Tiềm Năng Của Bé - Cùng Bơi Nhé! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I've become a huge fan of Kadir Nelson's wonderful breadth of work and his illustrations here are as expressive, moving and beautiful as ever! Just see if you can resist checking out the book after you take a look at that little girl's expression the cover...!!! ;-) As for the book itself, I'm not sure it really worked for me as a picture book though I appreciate the intent behind it. The text is actually a poem by the well-respected author Ntozake Shange (it wasn't written for a picture book but written as a poem and later turned into the picture book) the little girl you see on the cover is Ntozake herself, and the story/poem is about all the famous and inspiring men who came to her father's house when she was little from musicians to authors to politicians and all striving for racial equality. Wow, what an amazing childhood she must have had! The poem is printed in its original form in the back of the book and I found it more powerful to read that way than in the way it was broken up for the picture book side of things. Also, I am sorry to say that, while I recognized some of the famous figures, there were several men I did not recognize and I actually reread the "story" again after I read the brief bios in the back of the book; it made more sense and was more powerful that way. But, really, I am not sure how much children would get out of this book. I found myself lost at times and not really connecting to the figures because there is so little said about them and I didn't really know who some of them were so I think it will be a bit vague for most youngsters. That said, it is still worth while to introduce them to the fine poetry and beautiful artwork and it can be a good jumping off point for discussion about some of these inspiring figures like Paul Robeson, W.E.B. DuBois, Ray Barretto, Dizzy Gillespie, "Sonny Til" Tilghman, Kwame Nkrumah, and Duke Ellington.

Bộ Sách: Soul Screamers (Nữ Thần Báo Tử) - Tập 2 & Tập 3 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rachel Vincent

We've read a couple of books in the Help! I'm Trapped series and so far we like them. They are a bit more complex and longer than some of the other chapter books we've read recently and the drama is entertaining. Of course this book is a knock-off of the movie "Groundhog Day", starring Bill Murray. That's one of my favorites and so I loved the concept here. It was an engaging story and as long as it was, we had plenty of time to read since a thunderstorm knocked out our power and we had little else to do. Overall, it was a very interesting and engaging story and we will certainly look for more of the books in this series at our local library.

Çok düşündürücü, ama bir oturuşta esinti yapabileceğiniz bir şey değil. Bence kitabın en zor yanı “şeytanın” gözünden bakmaktır. Başka bir dilde bir kitap okumak ve anlamak için kitabı tekrar İngilizceye çevirmek zorundaydı.
