Truyện Ngụ Ngôn La Fontaine Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: La Fontaine

This book is fascinating for many reasons, many of them personal--as an amateur Arthurian scholar and medievalist, as a novelist, a recent convert to Steinbeck fandom, and a reader and lover of words. A huge asset is the appendix of letters Steinbeck wrote during his eight year odyssey with translating Malory's Morte D'Arte for the modern reader and falling short of the goal. Of the four sections he tackled, the first two on Merlin and Arthur's marriage are faithful adaptations, but still Steinbeck's sensibility and gift for prose make them come alive with a freshness that surprised me as one so grounded in the romances. I am rather jaded at this point with modern writers who try to adapt the romances to modern fiction, staying faithful in the wrong places and straying from them in ways that prove artificial and betray the material. Somehow Steinbeck, though guided by his own sensibilities, pulls it off without violating the original author's vision. In the final two sections, Steinbeck transforms knightly adventures of a handful of pages to span a hundred, and here Steinbeck gives full reign to his vision of who are these men and what did they think and feel as they pursued their quests and met various damsels. The characters jump off the page, and his Lancelot is a fascinating mix of excellence and limitedness. It is also interesting to watch how a writer known for his realism and failed dreams revels in a world where necromancy, giants, dwarves, dragons and unicorns are very real, and how he adapts a literature of symbolism to speak to a modern audience without betraying it.

"Có Ai Yêu Em Như Anh!" (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Minh Moon

So where do I begin? I find this book rather strange. Weird. I don’t know. Usually, when I finished reading a book, I’d hear myself utter a word or two about what I felt about the book; like, “Wow” or “That was fun.” But there are moments, once in a while, that when I turn over the last page, I find myself speechless. It can mean a good thing or a bad thing, or sometimes I just don’t know what I feel. At this point, I’m still undecided about Winter’s Child. It was interesting and definitely a new twist to the classic story of The Snow Queen, but I don’t know whether I liked it or didn’t. It’s just really strange. This retelling started out with the introduction of the Winter Child’s life. Followed shortly by the life of Grace and Kai. Then Kai asks Grace to marry him, assuming he thought that was the best idea at the time. Grace says no, and he goes of following the Winter Child, Deirdre, back to her kingdom. So this is where the adventure begins. Grace goes out to find Kai and apologize, and supposedly to take back her refusal to marry him. She comes across obstacles and meets new people; make new friends, as well as enemies. On particular friend she found tagged along her journey, a falcon. So on she goes, blah blah blah… This is where it gets all strange. Also, if you’re planning to read this book, stop reading this review at this point, it gets a little spoiler-ish. She comes across a house with an old woman, this is supposedly a test but the solution to pass this test was just really weird. I don’t get it with just simply THAT (can’t say what it is, sorry), you can break a powerful curse or spell. The other parts that followed after this event just left me puzzled. I didn’t know what to think about it. I didn’t get the idea of what it had to do with this retelling. So overall I think this was good. I’m in neutral territory on this book though, I didn’t hate but I didn’t love it either. For more of my reviews, please visit my blog: The Blair Book Project @ www.theblairbookproject.blogspot.com
