You know, I can see a need for a book like this, but I just don't like books that seem to teach kids how to be all kinds of mean.

If only Robert Graves had been around country New South Wales in the mid 1990s to teach my high school history class, I may have taken a liking to history a lot earlier. Being immersed in I, Claudius these past few weeks however, I am left feeling that he has ignited a fire in my belly, a new found eagerness to learn more about this time in history, an interest that has lied dormant until now. Written as Tiberius Claudius's autobiography, Graves has masterfully composed a novel that describes the times of the early years of Imperial Rome. Narrated by Claudius it covers the reign of the first three Roman emperors - Augustus, Tiberius and Caligula. From marrying cousins, sleeping with sisters, murdering parents and other relations, concocting elaborate and cruel plots against one another, committing suicide simply because you've been told to (seemingly better than the alternative I guess), banishments to remote uninhabited islands. Throw in a few wars, countless death sentences (would you preferred to be beheaded, pushed off a cliff, or strangled then thrown down the stairs?), torture, backstabbing and even an orgy and you've got yourself one hell of a good novel. Claudius tells his story without any over-the-top descriptions or metaphors. The subject matter is such that it doesn't need dressing up. At times he even censors himself, telling us that the events should not be put down in text. In places he is remarkably witty, I found myself smiling at his sense of humour: "I was thinking, 'So, I'm Emperor, am I? What nonsense! But at least I'll be able to make people read my books now.'" How much of this is true, I'm not entirely sure. But I don't really care at this point either. One day perhaps, I'll take the time to read alternate texts on these times. But for now, I'll assume that the painstaking research that Graves no doubt put himself through to write this novel is close to the mark. I'll finish with a quote from Barry Unsworth, who wrote the introduction to the version I have just finished reading: "Yet again we have to remind ourselves of what we are always in danger of forgetting as we read this compelling narrative, with its impeccable research, the tremendous intellectual feat of organization that it represents. It is fiction after all." 5 stars.

If this were to be paired with a book of photography it would go with portraits from Richard Avedon's In the American West. Characters outlined with the depth and quality of Steinbeck.

I read this in high school. . .most people are in love with this book and think it's just about the most engaging work of magical realism they've ever read, but I guess I was kind of sheltered and naive at the time, so when I read this I was shocked at the sexual content and the in-breeding. I'll have to give this one another once over now that i've had a few years to digest ;) I've got a copy at home, but it's in spanish. . .and I don't speak spanish so I have no idea where I got it from!

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

The biggest problem with The Tender Bar is that the most interesting thing about it isn't the author, it's the people he knows. Essentially, Moehringer is an average american male with the all-too typical father figure problems. With no father figure around, he basically grows up in a bar, where several men act as role-models (like Erica Jong said, it takes several men to make one good one!). The most interesting, touching, humorous parts of the book are those that focus around the men of the bar and introduce us to their lives. If the book had centered around only them, it would've been fantastic. Instead, Moehringer takes the self-centered approach and tries to explain why he grew up in the bar and the effect it had on his life - when he got older he had trouble with women and became an alcoholic. Surprise, surprise! I originally picked this up because of the journalistic aspect, but what he writes about being a journalist and working at the Times isn't especially interesting. Definitely a worthwhile read, though, particularly if you're interested in the bar community, or the antics of middle-aged men.

It was pretty entertaining until the last 50 pages or so. I only skimmed the last few pages because it became too ridiculous. It seemed like the author didn't know how to end it.

I read this and thought ummm she must put alot of her life experiences in her books. Then I saw her on Oprah and it was an episode which unravelled her life. Her Marriage, Her lover betraying her and then coming out. Then running her dry for her money. So i'm expecting a lot of more that in her next book.
