Really great story! Loved the characters!! My only complaint with the book is that one or two points weren't really cleared up.

This is my most favorite novel from V.S.Naipaul. In fact, the novel's setting and progress is such that when one reads it many years it was written, which is what I did, one can realize how prophetic and perceptive it is about Africa and its future after colonialism ends there. Naipaul is analytical and thoroghly unsentimental and consequently, he is rather pessimistic about Africa's resurgence with the end of colonialism, contrary to what many liberals believed. The story is absorbing, tracing the fortunes of a young Indian (but born in Africa) shopkeeper in a country which Naipaul does not actually name. But it is common wisdom that he implies Zaire as the setting. The story follows the 'big man' who assumes power (as it always was in post-colonial Africa) and how things gradually deteriorate. Naipaul has many insights into Africa and life in general. The prose is superb as it is always with Naipaul. Anyone wanting to get to know Naipaul and his writings can start with this book.

3.5 stars. I got a little irritated at the main character after she just kept jerking around her love interest. But everything turned out all right!

Câu Chuyện Phát Triển & Hạnh Phúc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

The first-person narrator of this book is Magda, the daughter of an Afrikaner sheep farmer on a remote ranch in the South African veldt. Magda has grown up alone with her stern, patriarchal father and the servants. She is a bitter old maid, ignored and disregarded. By page ten, you figure out that Magda is kind of nuts. Somewhere along the way, you figure out that between one paragraph and another, sometimes within the same paragraph, Magda slips between fantasy and reality without warning. By the end of the book, she has completely lost her mind and you have to reevaluate everything you've read because it's not clear what really happened and what was Magda's imagination, fabrication, or delusion. The story centers around Magda and her father and Hendrick, a black African servant who comes to work on the farm, and his wife Anna, whom Magda's father, living alone and wifeless out on the veldt, soon covets. Obviously this isn't going to end well, especially with Magda watching, judging, and resenting. The violence seems to be the point where Magda goes off the rails into complete unreliability. She tells multiple separate and conflicting stories over the course of the book, with no textual clue to the reader that they are not all part of one seamless narrative. The imagery is stark and isolating as Magda and the handful of other characters scratch out a living in the scorpion and jackal-haunted boonies, but what's really stark and isolating is the relationship between the white farmer and daughter and the black servants, initially friendly and benevolent on the surface, but their every interaction is fraught with the weight of colonialism. The power dynamic between oppressor and oppressed switches several times over the course of the novel, which I think was probably Coetzee's intent. It is indeed a bleak and powerful tale. That said, this is a book for readers who like literary prose, meaning sentences and paragraphs worked and reworked to artistic effect rather than to tell a story. Magda's internal monologue, even when it's not spinning off into crazy la-la land, is incessantly navel-gazing, dense, and verbose. In the Heart of the Country is one of those books where sometimes you have to reread a paragraph several times to figure out what is actually being said and what's going on. You would think a novel with as much sex and violence as this one packed into its sparse few pages would be more, well, interesting, but it's only interesting on the level of verbiage and literary analysis. It's the kind of book literature professors like to talk about and ask midterm questions like "Describe some of the metaphors the author uses for colonial and patriarchal relationships," blah bah blah. Honestly, I don't understand people who read books like this for "fun." Literary, prize-winning prose is often not exciting, storytelling prose, and in this case it's almost like simple declarative sentences and a linear narrative are verboten. Yes, I understand the story, yes, I saw the hidden depths in Coetzee's book and I'm sure I could write a term paper about it as well as the next English major (even though I was never an English major), but boy did did it drag and unlike some other literary authors (like Cormac McCarthy and Haruki Murakami) who sometimes annoy me but also tell a story even when they are experimenting, and intrigue me enough to want to read more, Coetzee makes me want to stay away from anything else he's written because this book did not endear him to me. That sounds like a pretty negative review, and if I were rating this based on my enjoyment of the book alone, In the Heart of the Country would probably get 1.5 or 2 stars. But I can't help but admire an author who puts words together in a way that most can't and manages to drag such powerful weight and layered meaning into such a small book. So I am bumping it up to 2.5 stars based on "literary merit," but rounding down because I still thought it was self-important dudeliness. I can't say I recommend it unless you are reading it for a specific purpose, though, or you just really like this kind of book.

Graceling es una novela que forma parte de una serie de libros escritos por Kristin Cashore. Es una novela para jóvenes adultos que pertenece al género fantástico. La protagonista es Katsa, una guerrera de 18 años que tiene poderes especiales o gracias (en el mundo en que transcurre esta novela se les llama Graceling a quienes tienen estos poderes). Como la gracia de Katsa es matar, se ve obligada a trabajar para el rey. En medio de sus aventuras Graceling conoce al príncipe Po, que también es un Graceling. Me gustó la novela porque la acción supera por momentos al romance (no me gustan esas novelas donde todo gira alrededor del romance de los protagonistas) y además Katsa es una heroína feminista que se sale de lo trillado, sobre todo en el caso de una novela romántica: Katsa no quiere casarse ni tener hijos y ni siquiera cambia de opinión al final de la novela (que hubiera sido lo más común en este tipo de libros). Hay mucha acción, sobre todo en la segunda parte de la novela cuando Katsa y Po tienen que realizar un viaje (la primera parte me resultó un poco lenta pero calculo que debe ser porque la escritora tiene que presentar a los personajes y el mundo en el que viven).

This book illustrates the life and accomplishments of Eleanor Roosevelt in a elementary student friendly manner. My first grade students are currently studying important historical figures, and while E. Roosevelt isn't one they are now studying, this book would be intriguing for my students to read and hear the story of such an important woman. Many of the girls would be very interested in hearing about Roosevelt because many of the figures they are currently studying are male. This book includes quotes from Roosevelt on every page and could lead to a study of important quotes from historical figures, such as MLK, Teddy Roosevelt, and many other figures who gave famous speeches.

I think I was the only one in our book club that liked this book. I thought it was interesting because it is about a lot of different personalities and life styles, but these girls are all friends. I think the story line was good, definitely has some sad parts.
