Müzekkin Nüfus - Eşrefoğlu Rumi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Merve Yayınları

This is the story of the L. S. B. Leakey early expeditions to Africa and his life there and in England. The story of the logistical problems encountered almost overwhelms the archeological aspects in my opinion. No roads, no maps, no vehicles that had ever traveled over rough terrain. It is truly amazing. I am not sure if the book is still available but is not to be confused by others written by his son.

This book was fascinating to read. The same rhetoric and deep party divisions between the conservatives and liberals were present in this era and it was interesting to see the decisions made then and their impact now. In addition, the sheer amount of work that Eleanor Roosevelt did during this time is amazing and what an impact she made!

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Timaş Yayınları

first, let us separate the book and it's author from the politics that now surround him - and which weren't an issue when he wrote the book. is it a good story? yes - though it wasn't quite the story i was expecting. simply the recounting of his life experiences - growing up a mixed race child in hawaii, moving to indonesia, attending columbia university, organizing on the south side of chicago - would be a lot to cover, and it's all in here. but the real thrust of the story is the exploration of race, which obama does from both inside and outside the question. he is clearly aware of his position as someone with allegiances and loves on both sides of this particular color line - and the book is rife with analysis and discussions of this. indeed, those looking for a more traditional political memoir may be put off by this. i, however, found it refreshing and fascinating. which leads to the second question - is it well told? again the answer is yes. obama understands about pacing, story structure, and tempo and he uses these skills to keep the story intriguing and compelling - again, something unusual in the kind of memoir one might expect. to his credit in the introduction he points out that it is very much a work of its time - and that there are sections and pages he would excise or write differently as a senator (and one would imagine, differently yet again as a president). but the sections stand, as such it retains its flavor and freshness - that of an articulate writer in the midst of the race question in america, using his own personal journey to try understand the bigger issues at hand. and now back to the politics. i think that even if you don't agree with obama's politics you can read this book and enjoy it. but you have to have an interest in the relations between blacks and whites in america, since that's really what the book is about. if that topic doesn't interest you AND you don't like obama, then your energy may be better spent elsewhere, even though the book is, as i said, quite well written.

Elizabeth Loraine’s character Quinn is one of the most breath taking male characters ever. His love and devotion to Katrina will win your heart too. Quinn’s story fills in some of those missing peaces that you will want to know as you read the Royal Blood Chronicle series. Quinn is a 10 in the heart throb department with a heart as big as the moon.

The only helpful book I've read on marriage. And, subject aside, a finely written book. If you ever consider giving someone a book on marriage, don't consider any other book.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Biyosistem

I wrote this review a few years ago for a different site. I called it Rabbit's A Reactionary Racist. It's been edited a little bit from it's original context. What is the novel about? Well it’s about Harry ‘Rabbit’ Angstrom: a man in his early thirties, with a wife, a son and a job on the verge of being made obsolete by technology. In the first novel, Rabbit ran away from his wife and young child. The novel dealt with the way he is pulled between his freedom and responsibility. In Rabbit’s second appearance on the literary scene he is at the other end of the estranged spouse paradigm. Rabbit’s wife leaves him to live with her smooth talking car salesman boyfriend. After being cuckold by his wife Rabbit feels sorry for himself, blames his troubles on others, shacks up with an 18 year old hippie, lets an African American criminal on the run move into his house, works through 400 years of racial injustice through his discussions with the hippie and the criminal, has his house burned down by racist neighbors and ultimately gets back together with his wife. This all sounds sort of familiar if you’ve read the first novel. Many of the incidents have just been changed slightly and the novels overly peppered with events from 1969 to make sure the reader never forgets that the action takes place as man first walked on the moon, Laugh-In and the Mod Squad played on the telly and movie-goers were packing theatres to see Kubrick’s cerebral 2001: A Space Odyssey. The actions similar to the first tale of Rabbit but the times are a changing. Poor Rabbit though isn’t changing with the times though. Maybe if Updike could have written Rabbit as adapting better to the turmoil of the 60’s this novel would have been more enjoyable (or at least less offensive). I might be wrong but I don’t think the word cunt was generally used to describe women in 1969. . I don’t think the word experienced much of a mainstream vogue in America, but if I took Updike’s picture of the cultural terrain of America at this time as an example then I’d believe that good Americans, Conservative Americans at the time believed that women could be reduced to this term. Not just reduced but defined as just being walking cunt’s with interchangeable faults attributed to them. Updike uses this term more often that Irvine Welsch does. The word is used constantly to an annoying degree. Added to the excessive use of this word as catch all for all women (except for poor Rabbit’s mom) is a good healthy dose of racism. Rabbit believes it’s not worth his son caring too much about a girl he likes being dead because there are a few billion more cunt’s in the world. Rabbit doesn’t like blacks on the bus with him because they smell. Rabbit doesn’t like hippies because they don’t love the country. Rabbit likes the idea of bombing Vietnam into the pre-historic age. Rabbit’s a good American trying to raise his son but only thinks twice before joining his counter-culture housemates in smoking dope in front of his kid. Rabbit’s a total hypocrite. One might try to argue that through his talks with the on the lam criminal, Skeeter, that Updike shows the way that even the close minded archetype of middle America can learn to empathize with Civil Rights. One might if they were ignoring the way that Updike treats all of his minority characters. There are three African American characters. One if a drunk co-worker / part time pimp, the second is a pot smoking alcohol swilling lounge singer / prostitute, and the third is Skeeter a small time pot dealer / irrational revolutionary who thinks his the living incarnation of Jesus Christ. The first two characters are presented for color and for Rabbit to have masturbatory fantasies about. The third argues the case for Black Power in the most schizophrenic, irrational and flat out moronic manner possible who discredits all of Civil Rights leaders in favor of some acid induced logic. Rabbit starts to agree with him at times, which makes no sense except to prove that Rabbit’s a moron. I don’t know what Updike was trying to do with this. Especially because he wastes almost half of the book involved in these discussions between Rabbit and Skeeter. This novel left me feeling kind of offended. Aside being offended I felt nothing. The prose is nice and clean but I have hundreds of books that are well written. I know that I’m going to read the last two novels with clenched teeth because I am unable to not finish a book or a series no matter how much I hate it. I don’t recommend entering into Rabbit’s world, or if you do read the first novel and then use your imagination about what he would be doing ten years down the road.

Written in 1875, story is about a wife's determination to prove her husband innocent of murdering his first wife. He was tried with the verdict by the Scottish jury being Not Proven leaving him with the stigma of being neither guilty nor innocent. The novel features a woman as a detective, one of the first to do so, who has to overcome a number of trials and tribulations in her efforts to solve the mystery of how the first wife died. The story moves and reads quickly.

Bu iyi yazılmış ama benim için harika bir kitap değil. Harika bir kısa hikaye, hatta iyi bir roman olurdu ama bundan daha fazlası gibi sürükleniyor. İçine yaklaşık 100 sayfa bakmayı bıraktım ve sonunda bitmesini istedim.
