Kutadgu Bilig - Yusuf Has Hacib ücretsiz kitap indir

Even Gabrielsen evengabrielsen — This is the closest Isabel Allende has written to an autobiography, filled with both completely non-fictional recollections with some fantasy and reimagined memories thrown in. Allende captures what is at the heart of a lot of immigrant's struggles, in that they never lose the love and pride of their homeland no matter how hard the struggle has been within it or the reasons they needed to escape it, bu"t are also tied to their new lives and new countries. There is a great amount of historical information and told from the point of view of a native Chilean who fled the country in exile during the government overthrow. There is also a nice bit of information about Chilean culture and customs as well as beliefs and traditions which is interesting if you are interested in Latin American cultures. "Memories don't organize themselves chronologically, they're like smoke, changing, ephemeral, and if they're not written down they fade into oblivion."

Miggi Kim takecareofmiggi — Book 2 (not 4. Ugh.)

Meddy Dufrennes _xbear — I loved this book. Loved, loved, loved it. That doesn't mean that I rushed right out and bought the sequel or anything, but I did love it to pieces. I know better than to read sequels right away. I don't know how some people are able to read book after book by the same author. Don't they need to spice up their reading? I can't go from one mystery to another. I have to go: mystery, disjointed family drama, non-fiction, classic. And so forth. Like I might have mentioned before, I'm not the biggest fan of mysteries, but make it a mystery set in old New York, and I'm in. I love being able to mentally follow the characters around on their sleuthing and try to recreate in my mind's eye what the city must have looked like a hundred years ago. I would love to be able to travel back in time, especially to eat a late-late dinner at Delmonico's, where dining at 11 p.m. was perfectly normal. I think of NYC as being such a night owl city, but I don't think there are any fancy restaurants where one can sit down to eat at 11 p.m., finish up at 3 a.m., and not feel hurried the entire time. And if I'm wrong, I'd love to know! When I first moved here, I attended a book club meeting at 808 Broadway, which is the building where the sleuths have their headquarters. I remember at the time being told where we were, but having not read the book at that time, didn't appreciate it nearly enough. I think I was more taken with the fact that my coworker, who had invited me along to his book club, knew someone who lived in such lavish quarters. Anyway, I highly recommend The Alienist to both lovers of mysteries and lovers of fiction taking place in old New York.

Lilia Chobanyan liliachobanyan — LOVED IT!!

David Johnson fotograferdave — A different twist on the Ember series (goes back many decades(?) before the City of Ember was built). Not as quickly paced as the first two, so my 10-year-old son (with whom I've been reading this series) is getting a little bored.
