Stres Kaygı Ve Depresyondan Kurtuluş-David Servan - Schreiber itibaren Elips Kitap içinde LIT biçim

Xinyi L xylxxy — This book was a fabulous read! I wasn't sure about it when I started, as it starts off like a YA book (not that I don't love YA books, just wasn't expecting it here). As the book progresses, though, it gets a bit darker, and a bit more mature. By the end, we realize that our 'hero', Quentin Coldwater, is back to immature, but the subject matter has grown around him. He eventually catches up, and it is glorious to read. I've read that this book is a 'mature Harry Potter', but that doesn't even begin to explain it. Yes, it involves magical schools and magic in general, but the characters, the spells, the school are vastly different than the Harry Potter world. In The Magicians, the school is competitive and difficult, and much of the book describes the rigors of learning magic. There is time for fun, as Quentin discovers, but it is a lot of hard work, too. After graduating, Quentin has a hard time adjusting to life outside of magic school. He and his friends end up discovering a world from a favorite childhood story is real, and they find a way to get there. The world, Fillory, isn't all it was cracked up to be in the childhood story, but they soon discover why. The book had me up far too late each night when I read it. I was completely satisfied when I finished the book, which is a rare occurrence, and I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Abdul Basit sipra — “Siber­ian Prison” by E.v. Enz­mann is a non fic­tion account of the author’s expe­ri­ence in the Aus­trian Army and as a Russ­ian pris­oner of war. The eye­wit­ness account was trans­lated, edited but mostly left intact from the original. The book is an eye­wit­ness account of an solider in the Aus­trian army who was taken as a Russ­ian pris­oner dur­ing the Brusillov offen­sive. I tremen­dously enjoyed “Siber­ian Prison” by E.v. Enz­mann. Being an old sol­dier myself I appre­ci­ated the humor, story, skill and his­tory being pre­sented in the book. The story of Mr. Enz­mann, a school­teacher who became an offi­cer in the Aus­trian army dur­ing World War I is astound­ing. To read the col­or­ful eye­wit­ness account of his tri­als and tribu­la­tions was amazing. Mr. Enzmann’s sar­cas­tic sense of humor is, espe­cially to those who have been in the mil­i­tary, shines through the pages. For exam­ple, the Aus­trian army’s gen­er­ous hand­ing out medals: "You usu­ally received the first medal because you did not have a sin­gle one and your breast looked bare. You received teh sec­ond because one seemed to be so lit­tle; you got the third because you had already two. The fourth and fifth were awarded because a man who had so many medals must be a very brave man, and one one could not go wrong in giv­ing him another one. Hardly any­one knew why he got a medal, but every­body was sure he would never get a medal when he did some­thing for which he deserved one." Mr. Enz­mann goes on to say that the way for pla­toon lead­ers to get medals was to: "…play cards with the com­man­der and let him win. Only fools tried to get medals for brav­ery by being brave". There are many things I learned from this book, what amazed me was the how depen­dent was the Siber­ian econ­omy on pris­on­ers of war. The pris­on­ers were an inte­gral part of the com­merce by the time the war ended. Many were house­hold mem­bers, started their own busi­nesses, mar­ried local girls (regard­less if they had fam­i­lies back home) and more. The whole early pris­oner of war expe­ri­ence, to me, was well worth read­ing the book. I usu­ally don’t like to read books such as this one. There are sev­eral rea­sons; most of the books are unpro­fes­sional, badly edited (if at all) and frankly not very inter­est­ing. I cer­tainly under­stand and appre­ci­ate the need of peo­ple to put down their amaz­ing expe­ri­ences down on paper for future gen­er­a­tions and they are usu­ally well received among fam­i­lies, how­ever for the lay­man reader…not so much. I also feel bad about not lik­ing such books, after all, some­one poured out their heart and soul for the ben­e­fit of their chil­dren and grand­chil­dren, and who am I? – Some schmo with a blog – to pass judg­ment? I was glad that this book is an exception. There is an appen­dix pro­vided by Dr. Robert Duncan-Enzmann, the author’s son, which is also very inter­est­ing and helps pull the story together.
