Văn Học Cổ Điển - Robinson Crusoe Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Daniel Defoe

i read this on my own when I was 13 and i loved it. Now i have started to read it again. It really shows how willing people are to forget horrible things. It also shows how much some are willing to sacrifice to expose and destroy evil, whether it is a Nazi or not. It is powerful and thrilling, right up until the last page.

Tuổi Trẻ Nào Rồi Cũng Sẽ Qua Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kai Hoàng

A Very Long Engagement tells the story of Mathilde, a woman who has been told that her fiance, Manech, died in the war. Something seems fishy about his death so she begins to investigate. She wants to know what happened to him, and something keeps telling her that he is still alive somewhere. She soon learns of five soldiers condemned to death for self-mutilation, one of them was Manech. The reader unravels the clues along with Mathilde as she receives more and more information about her fiance's mysterious death. Honestly, I did not like this book at all. There were too many characters and unnecessary details. The whole book was very confusing and I didn't actually understand what happened until the Chapter where she talks to "That Man". I also did not think that this book taught me a lot about WWI. I wasn't expecting too be a history book of course, but I thought I might take something away from it. If I learned anything, it was that the people fighting in the war were not good to there soldiers. Some of them lied and some were thieves, it seems that they were not very good people. I also thought maybe it would give me a better idea of life in France at the time, but again, I was mistaken. It does not describe France from the point of view of an average French woman or even someone without bias at all, it shows France from Mathilde's perspective. Mathilde is not average at all. First of all, she is in a wheel chair so people treat her differently (and I will have to agree with her character that just because she is in a wheel chair, it doesn't mean she is any different, but not everyone in France thinks the way we do). Second, she doesn't describe France because she lives there and why would she need to show the reader something she has already seen. What I mean is, if I was writing a diary entry and I said: "I walked into my room." I wouldn't describe what my room looks like. I already know what it looks like! Adding "it was small, and my clothes were all over the floor." would not make any difference to me because I am the one reading it and I already know what my room looks like. The book was written for the benefit of the character, Mathilde, so therefore she does not need to give an accurate description of France because she already knows what it is like. Third, Mathilde was looking for her "dead" fiance. How many women had the time and the means to go and investigate the death of there loved ones? In the book there were two. One was Mathilde and the other was Angelo's lover. All of the other widows accepted the fact that there husbands were dead and had to go on with there lives because they had to support themselves and/or their children. Mathilde however, had this unlimited supply of cash to fund her investigation and she didn't have to work at al. She basically had all the time in the world and all the resources she needed at her fingertips. I feel like this was not the usual case for widowed women in France after WWI. There were too many characters, places, different perspectives, names and it was all too much to keep track of. I also did not think this was a good book to read to help me understand life after WWI. I did not like this book, and I wont recommend it to my friends. I will probably recommend the movie though. I thought the movie was much better than the book. The characters annoyed me (mostly Mathilde), but it is much easier to understand. It also provides a good visual of France at the time, and the trenches.

Giữa Những Điều Bình Dị (Song Ngữ Việt - Anh) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Quang Thân

Awesome story! I was thoroughly engrossed in this story, it was that addicting! I have to say, Suzanne Collins writes in the first person with a memorizing flow. I loved it! I am definitely continuing this series. The contrast between the districts and the Capitol were drastic but they were painted out beautifully by the author. It was fast paced, well narrated and just overall amazing! Hands down, one the best books I've read this year.

Uống Cà Phê, Nói Chuyện Mặt Trời Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phan Linh (Linh Phan)

Another fine collection restoring my devotion to short stories. To pick just one theme, I'd say these stories aim for the painful or sad as proof of how wonderful life is. If that makes sense to you, you will love these (with one exception). The titular story is phenomenal, but "Spectators" broke my little heart and was my favorite.

A young girl leaves her home because her father wants to marry her off. These books always start off slow and then pick up at the end. Better that way than the other.

Tuần Của Bé - Bé Dũng Cảm Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dương Hà Ngân

Just an amazing description here. Gave me insight into elite life of Colombian cities, and amazingly detailed descriptions, gathered from talks with friends and others, about sexual habits of Colombian elite men. Sex with other men, especially boys, is a significant part of many upper class men's life experiences. Lives of street boys surviving in this way is well described too. Lots of food for thought here. Good to read alongside this: Eros in Greece. On the role of man-man sex in Greek society. One reader says: "After living in Ecuador for 2 years I still hadn't grasped what was going on in the sexual culture of latin america, especially in young men. I didn't understand their superior mentality. Then I read this book and a lot of what I'd seen started to make sense. The invitations to prostibulos, fathers or relatives taking teenage boys to the brothels for their first sexual encounter."

Thần Thoại Hy Lạp (Bìa Cứng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

It was kind of weird reading this book after reading about Octavia Butler's ultimate dislike for this novel. While I was enjoying the story, I kept thinking about why she later wished she hadn't published it. I could see flaws in it, but it's no more flawed than many sci fi stories. So the human-alien interaction isn't believable--ever heard of Jandar of Callisto or John Carter of Mars? Overall, I'd have to say it's a worthwhile read... but definitely not among the best of Ms. Butler's works.
