Tôi Muốn Sống Tự Do - Sức Mạnh Của Đức Tin, Đức Cậy, Và Đức Mến Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jack Philip

It is not easy to be the queen of a country anxious to have a king, especially when sovereignty is not enough to ensure obedience let alone loyalty. It is no secret that the queen of Attolia is more beautiful, by far, than the queen of Eddis. Beauty is a useful weapon in Attolia's limited arsenal; one that leaves little room for kindness. Eddis is no great beauty but, as everyone knows but would not dare say, she is more kind. After stealing repeatedly from her kingdom and abandoning discretion to speak truth, Eugenides has angered Attolia beyond all reason. The queen is desperate for revenge at any price. What draws Eugenides back to Attolia is anyone's guess, but return he does. When the two come face to face, the sacrifice will be great on both sides. Attolia is a ruthless ruler hardened, through her hard-won and harder-kept reign, almost to stone. Eugenides is the Thief of Eddis and he can steal anything. But as both sides seek justice, the fate of Eddis, Attolia, and even Sounis will hang in the balance as Eugenides tries to steal peace and also, perhaps, salvation for Attolia and himself in The Queen of Attolia (2000) by Megan Whalen Turner. The Queen of Attolia is the sequel to Turner's Newbery honor book The Thief which first introduced readers to Eugenides and his world. When Eugenides is caught one too many times stealing from Attolia, he pays the ultimate price. Finding himself caught in the middle of a war he wants no part of, Eugenides does what he always does: he steals what he needs to remedy the situation. What follows is a compelling story of political intrigue, old gods, and cunning. At the same time, The Queen of Attolia is a haunting tale of broken people trying to understand what it means to be whole when the damage has already been done and, no matter what else might follow, completely irreparable. Like later books in the series, The Queen of Attolia is written with shifting perspectives. Turner follows Eugenides and Attolia, of course, but also other characters who play minor and major roles in the plot. It's rare to see a complete shift in narrative style for a series, but like most of Turner's writing decisions it makes perfect sense. After the disastrous events at the beginning of this book it's unlikely anyone, even Eugenides, would want to spend too much time in his head. The ability to shift between characters also gives the story more liberty in how events unfold for the reader and the characters. I hate having to say books need to be read in order, but these really do. Years ago my mom snagged an ARC of this book which I read before The Thief. I later read the first book and the two worked fine, but only in rereading them in the correct order did I see how much I missed. The Queen of Attolia completely blew my mind when I first read it and continues to dazzle me as do the rest of Turner's books about Gen. Hopefully this review will pique your interest but the book is so much more than anything I can say here that it is impossible to understand how brilliant it (and the series in general) is without reading it. So, go and read it. Right away. Eugenides' adventures continue in The King of Attolia. Possible Pairings: Dreamhunter by Elizabeth Knox, Abhorsen by Garth Nix, Tamar by Mal Peet, The New Policeman by Kate Thompson

Vợ Đông Chồng Tây Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kiều Bích Hương

This book begins with much promise but ultimately ends in disappointment. Prince begins by stressing the importance of historically-based analysis. He suggests that one understand Kurosawa's films as "address[ing] the Japan shattered by World War II and [as helping] reshape society." (8) This is a most interesting, preliminary claim that initially promises certain fascinating paths of reading. Also, Prince begins by criticizing 'auteurism' and naive assumptions of 'authorship'. He notes that the formation of 'film studies' as an academic field imposed a "major code" that reduced all Kurosawa films to "the ideal of humanism". Now this is also promising - finally, a comprehensive work on Kurosawa, other than that of Donald Richie, that gets beyond 'auteurism'. Unfortunately, Prince's book does not live up to these introductory assertions. First, Prince continually makes use of terms like "Zen Buddhism", "heroic ideal", "warrior ideal", instead of terms like "humanist universalism" as if they were more accurate interpretive concepts for understanding Kurosawa's films (see pp. 10, 11, 28, 30, 115). However, he never 'historicizes' these very concepts but treats them as somewhat static and a-historical. I don't think that one would find it completely convincing or that interesting if some critic put to use concepts like "Christian providence" or "protestant individualism" for the purposes of deciphering the work of Orsen Welles without demonstrating first the historic intricacies of such empty concepts and second their specific, contextual relevance to a given Welles' film-text. Thus, it must be asked: why make use of analogous empty signifiers of Japanese history and culture so carelessly in relation to Kurosawa's films? Ultimately, Prince's interpretive framework remains less than convincing , for his initial imperative to read "against the grain of history" is violated repeatedly throughout the book. Also, it is disappointing that right after Prince criticizes the usual appeal to authorship or auteurism he categorically states, "Kurosawa's films form a series of inquiries on the place and the possibilities of the autonomous self within a culture whose social relations stress group ties and obligations." (27) From this Prince establishes his own master code for interpreting the totality of Kurosawa's work based upon the supposed `intentions' of Kurosawa-as-author. It is a code that reads Kurosawa's films as being primarily about the negotiation of the ego in the modern world. Prince continues, throughout the work, to make sense of the rich diversity of films in terms of this restricted framework. He writes, "Kurosawa's world is an arena where his characters must be tested , where they must be victorious in their goals or must be broken and defeated." (116) Later, he reduces the entire complexity of Kurosawa films into a `meta-narrative' that is "...the passage from willed optimism of the early films to the ethic of resignation and despair that pervades the late works..." (154) The meaning that Prince detects in these films is not wrong per say but way too limited and reductive. There is a vast complexity of meaning and significance in Kurosawa's diverse catalogue of films, and some of it is in direct contradiction to Prince's `auteurist' thesis. I cannot say that I was satisfied with Prince's analysis for these reasons. However, if one is sympathetic to auteur forms of criticism, then this book may be for you. Just remember what Foucault says in `What is an Author?': "the author serves to neutralize the contradictions that are found in a series of texts." Personally, I think the "contradictions" that one might locate in a series of texts serve as the sites of most interest in any interpretive investigation; thus, they should not be effaced by way of some reductive narrative of authorship.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is well thought out and very inspiring, especially for those of us who are procrastinators by nature, and will use any excuse to not move forward with our "plans." I would suggest purchasing the book and reading it daily for continual inspiration, or old habits will resume.

I pushed myself to continue reading this novel because I assumed there would be a payoff at some point. I was to be disappointed. Still plan to watch the movie at some point, but not as excited as I was before I read the book.

Mỹ Thuật - Vẽ Tĩnh Vật Đơn Thể (Tập 2) - Tái bản 2014 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gia Bảo

Kat Falls does something with her novel: she writes well. In the world of young adult literature where grammatical errors and less than stellar writing usually take the stage, Dark Life happily breaks free. Great writing takes the stage with an amazing story with grown up plot twists. This is a perfect story for young adults especially those interested in the ocean, the wild west, and post-apocalyptic worlds.

Putin & Sứ mệnh lịch sử Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Alecxandr Olbich

Audiobook. Wonderfully narrated by Emily Janice Card & Emma Bering. A young adult book for adults. Andi, of the 21st century New York/Paris, and Alex, of 18th century Paris & the French Revolution, have a combination of youth and adulthood that feels very authentic for characters in their late teens. Andi's parents are absent - her mother mentally, her father physically - and she feels responsible for the death of her younger brother. She's not doing a wonderful job of facing life on her own (she self-doses herself pretty liberally with her prescription for mood stabilizers). So the fact that the character was written as an "almost-adult" as opposed to a "kid" felt especially genuine to me. Alex is the same age, and is coping with the horrors of the French Revolution, also much without much, if any, real adult support. Interestingly, her sympathies are with the royal family, which is an unusual slant to the historical aspect of the novel. Alex is also an "almost-adult". But the small traces of childhood left in them, which comes through from time to time, made the characters feel realistic. There is also quite a bit more depth in this book than many YA books. There are themes that kept me thinking, and relistening to sections. I could see myself relistening to the book again.
