Ovid made a bold stab at the end of this book when he declares "wherever Rome's power extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention on men's lips, and, if the prophecies of bards have any truth, through all the ages shall I live in fame." I couldn't help but laugh at the audacity. But from an objective standpoint, he was entirely right. And after reading his book, I loved his writing so much that I agree that he should have that "undying name." I'm glad he knew something of his greatness before he died. I suppose it's hard for me to give a review of an ancient text. What am I supposed to criticize? He uses too many Greek names I can't pronounce that sometimes differ in one letter or none? He sucks up to Augustus quite obviously? All fair enough for the times. Ovid's writing, of course, is poetic. He was a poet. His characters are never dull - even the ones that would go down in mythology as some of the least deserving of sympathy he turns into humans we can relate to. Scylla (not the one turned into the monster) has a passionate monologue revealing her struggle over helping her love, Minos, or saving her father's kingdom. Eventually she cuts her father's purple lock of hair, thus destroying his kingdom and ending his life. How could someone sympathize with that? But Ovid gives her a voice that shows her inner conflict. And he does this for many other characters. He doesn't always portray the gods in a sympathetic light. He knew they could be jerks, and he went through no pains to hide this view. But sometimes he sounds pious enough so that you can understand the reverence with which the Greeks and Romans looked upon their gods. He covers pretty much all extremes of religious devotion - his stories show the most impious and pious, describe rituals, etc. Those, along with other phrases or sentences when you read carefully, reveal so much about the times and the culture, even beyond the religious field. Considering this is a book of transformations, it provides stories to explain how many things came to be - the Sahara desert, different seasons, amber, the hyacinth, the woodpecker, etc. I always found that interesting about myths. If myths were often used as a teaching tool, explaining the existence of something would be one key function. And that element is always fun to read about. Anyway, just read the book. It's worth it. He's one of the authoritative authors for occidental myths. No modern source could beat the value of an ancient author. If you don't have the patience to read the whole thing - I'll admit, it seemed to take forever to finish, but I was determined - get a book with an index. You should do this anyway. I bought the Barnes & Noble Classics edition. It didn't have an index, and it drove me crazy. It was so hard to refer back to an interesting myth, because Ovid has no particular order to his stories, and the chapters are just labeled "Book I, Book II, etc". Also, consider whether the text is written out in lines or in paragraphs. Ovid's a poet, and should probably be read as such. The lines also help to break up how dense some of the text can be. But if reading by lines sometimes causes a hang up, go ahead and use one with paragraphs. Mine happened to be like that. I think this book should be a basic part of education, certainly if you have any interest in myths or the classics.

I don't really remember this book, but I know it was a good book. I read this book in about third grade I can't remember this book to clearly. I think that the main girl wasn't really accepted. I think towards the end she moved away. I can't really remember.

Sống Có Giá Trị - Phép Màu Từ Những Điều Bình Dị: Những Lời Thông Thái Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: G. Francis Xavier

I've been reading this book for over three months now. It normally takes me three nights. I have about seventy pages left and I have to say goodbye and move on...though I HATE not finishing a book. But that stubborn refusal to move on from one book has inhibited me, so to HWOSG, I say...next! The first part was brilliant. I loved it. Eggers is a great writer. But the second part...man...I read maybe ten pages a day for awhile, then cast it aside. An hundred pages or so could have been removed from the book and it would have been all the stronger for it. Eggers' strengths: dialogue, internal process/urgency, originality of thought, description. Eggers' weaknesses: too many characters with not enough backstory; too many self-indulgent rants; uneasy transition between scenes. Again, I stress this--great writer. But I preferred You Shall Know Our Velocity over this...which I'm told is not the majority viewpoint. Ah, well.

500 Chữ Tiếng Hoa - Cách Viết Cho Người Mới Học Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Trương Thêm

Excellent look at colonialism from a personalised perspective. Amazing and vivid imagery and intricate connection to 'Jane Eyre', it gives a past to 'Jane Eyre's' 'mad woman in the attic' before she was colonised and married off into the white world. You dont have to have read 'Jane Eyre', it functions perfectly as a novel in its own right but the parallels to Bronte's novel are haunting if you're familiar with it.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tiểu Chu Dữ Mặc

I thought this book was excellent. I haven't read The Glass Castle yet, but I think maybe reading this one first gives me a different perspective when I go to read The Glass Castle. What an amazing life, and what interesting times. I can't imagine living in a place without electricity or indoor plumbing. I can't imagine not being able to hop on a bus or a train or a plane and be at my destination shortly. It just puts our lives today and in the Northeast into perspective. This book is set in a very different place and time than what I'm used to.

My parents both grew up in the south. I used to visit my grandparents in Pensacola. They had a "help" by the name of Josephine. Dressed in a white uniform. I loved her because she was so warm and welcoming. This book took me back. The descriptions of that period were right on. I like the way she told the stories from the perspective of three of the characters. First half was a bit slow for me. The second, I couldn't put it down.
