Bầu Trời Tình Yêu - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mika

"Finished" comprises the third book in H. Rider Haggard's so-called Zulu trilogy, the first two novels being "Marie" and "Child of Storm." This is a magnificent set of books that deals with the downfall of the Zulu people, as personally witnessed by Allan Quatermain, the hero of 14 of Haggard's novels, including "King Solomon's Mines." "Finished" has all the elements that Haggard's fans have come to expect from him: a great and fast-moving story, scenes of big-game hunting, interesting and amusing characters, bloody and well-described battles, all with a dash of mysticism and some supernatural elements thrown into the mix. It is a real rouser. In the first half of this book, our hero Quatermain gets personally involved in the problems of a young couple in the bush veld in Africa, but the entire second half of the book details his stay with the Zulus, their war councils, and the great battles that the Zulus fought against the English in the late 1870s. The tone of the book is suitably elegiac, mourning the passing of a proud people and culture. This is a magnificent trilogy of books, and it is a real shame that they are all out of print. But I heartily recommend that you seek them out.

Ehon Nhật Bản - Chơi Cùng Giri - Chú Bé Cơm Nắm: Không Phải Trái Cây Đâu! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Fuku Mitsu

I’ve been trying to catch up with some eco-feminist titles lately, and RAPE OF THE WILD is a challenging and at times unusual book in this genre. Overall, I think Carol J. Adams does a bit better on this topic, but Collard has a wider scope to deal with; that is, this isn’t just about the patriarchal oppression of both women and nonhuman animals in a similar way, but also about man’s destruction of the earth and biological systems as a whole. I do think the author is little too idealistic of prehistoric times—what she sees as a matriarchal societies living in harmony with, rather than destroying, the earth and each other. The fact is, none of us really know what life was like during the earliest stages of human culture and society. However, I’m willing to bet that there was cruelty, greed, and exclusion—simply because we see this behavior in even very young children; it appears to be part of our makeup. We must be taught to be considerate of others, and for some, the early lessons never do sink in. RAPE OF THE WILD could be considered an animal advocacy work, as unlike many environmentalists, Collard refuses to just see nature in macro and focuses in on the individual experiences of animals caught up in the human machine. In keeping with the animal advocacy movement of the 1960s through the 1980s, sport hunting and vivisection are Collard’s primary focuses; she devotes a chapter to each. Indeed, both are important issues which cause a lot of suffering; both are also primarily male-driven pursuits infused with disturbing, rape-y language. However, animal agriculture represents by far the greatest abuse of the female body in the animal kingdom—as well as the greatest abuse of all animals, period. It’s no wonder many eco-feminists see withdrawing support of the meat, dairy, and egg industries as a feminist act. Collard has me confused when she turns her attention to human females, or at least women’s reproductive choices. The book acknowledges the prejudices women face if they do not conform to gender norms, specifically highlighting women who choose not to have children. At the same time, she posits that “human infertility is also on the rise.” Seriously? With seven billion and counting, clearly our problem is too many, rather than too few. I’m guessing that those of us in more educated and affluent parts of the world may think this is true because people in the West tend to wait longer to have children and have fewer when they do. However, humans as a whole are clearly far too fecund; we’d be much better off if we’d knock off the breeding and people who want children would adopt them instead! The author imagines a male-dominated, “scientifically perfected” future in which: Only ‘special’ women would be allowed to continue to breed while the rest of us would gradually be phased out. However, this too is but a step toward the elimination not only of women, but all other species as we know them, including our own. Wow. Ok, I’ve actually seen this “forced human extinction” theory before, usually from the propaganda of right-leaning conspiracy theorists. But think about this—we’re frequently reminded that if bees and other pollinators disappeared, the ecosystem would collapse. However, if human beings were to become extinct, nature would benefit tremendously. The ecosystem would just keep on humming along without our “help.” And I’d also like to add just how difficult it is to choose a permanent method of birth control in many parts of the Western world at least. Women must jump through a lot of hoops and do a lot of waiting if they wish to be sterilized. Our society and government also reward having children with tax breaks, incentives, and programs. Sorry, I just don’t see ANY discouragement of breeding. In the footnotes, the author states that “apparently the ‘fit’ are beating the ‘unfit’ in the race for self-elected sterilization,” noting that tubal ligation is the number-one birth control used by married couples. And? I’m not really sure if the author sees this as a positive or negative development, or perhaps she feels the male in the relationship should shoulder this duty in a more equitable way. However, I would think that there are very few things more empowering than taking control of your own body, and making informed, adult choices on whether to bring more people into this world. A woman who chooses a tubal ligation is doing both of these things—and it’s a choice that will stay with her, even if her relationship doesn’t last. Why rely on others, even an intimate partner, to make choices about YOUR body? For those women who do choose to have biological children, the author speaks approvingly of those pregnant women who refuse prenatal tests and hospital births, and instead to do things the “natural” way. *facefreakingpalm* You put your own life at risk? Stupid, but your choice. You put an innocent child’s life at risk, perhaps dooming him/her to all sorts of painful and debilitating complications? Argh! Why?! This foolishness is why some otherwise sympathetic people may reject Collard’s work as a whole—which is a shame—in essence throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The best thing about this eclectic collection of short stories was that once I began a story I was never sure where it was going to go. The cool thing about Neil Gaiman's stuff is that one can never be sure where he is going to take you. Although the stories were hit or miss I didn't feel as though any were the least bit boring. Each one seems infused with his signature dark imagery and wicked sense of humor. Also I recommend listening to this (and some of his other works) on audio CD, because you have the added bonus of listening to Mr. Gaiman read his own words. He is one of the few authors that can read as well as an actor, and this makes listening to his works all the more captivating.
