Yissi Kamış Ney Adana Sağ El Üst Kız (Si) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yissi

The life story of an anthropologist with Asberger's syndrome, but also a lovely argument in favor of compassion and effective action on behalf of the other creatures, especially primates, with whom we share this planet. Prince-Hughes is poetic, graphic and always eloquent whether describing her childhood, her relationships, Woodland Park Zoo and its various inhabitants, or the case for primate intelligence.

Kuğunun Son Şarkısı - Beşir Ayvazoğlu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kapı Yayınları

I have been wanting to read this book for a long time, as I am a fan of O'Faolain's writing, and I also find the lives of infamous people fascinating - where did they come from, how did they end up doing whatever it is that made them famous, etc. This book was a nice combination of the two. In addition to that, it was my first choice for the "What's in a Name" reading challenge, serving as a book with a place name in the title. The story begins as May Duignan, 19 years old, is running away from her family home in Edenmore, County Longford, Ireland. Edenmore was a small town and many of its inhabitants, including May's family, were barely eaking out an existence. She has sixty sovereigns in her pocket, and a desire to "get out of town." The year is 1890. By the time May arrives in America, she has already to make do and be quick-witted; when she is asked who will be responsible for her here, she names an uncle that she doesn't really remember, but that she knows emigrated to America years ago, and is living in Nebraska. O'Faolain's research showed no one with May's family name living in Nebraska at the time - however, throughout her life, she gave different names at different times, depending on the situation, so there is the chance that she didn't use her real name upon entry to the country. May makes her way to Nebraska, and there her life as part of the criminal element begins. She falls in love with a man named Dal Churchill, who is a known thief, highway robber, etc., in the rough and tumble area which was then thought of as the American West. From here to the end of the book, we follow May to several cities in several countries as she does what it takes to survive. O'Faolain theorizes that, because she has no formal education or skills, her choices are limited. She looks around, and realizes that being a con artist, or a prostitute, or simply a petty thief is more financially lucrative than many of the jobs open to the Irish during that time period. She does have a brief period of marriage and respectable domesticity, but the lure of her other life wins out in the end. This book was a fascinating read. O'Faolain manages to make May a real person, though not necessarily a likable one. You feel for her, but at a certain point you also realize that she is making decisions for herself, and realizes what the consequences are of being caught. The people who surround her are interesting in and of themselves, and their place in her story and her orbit add to the sense of dangerous adventure that is May's story. In addition, I enjoyed the aspect of the book which talked about the law enforcement practices of the time, as well as society's changing attitudes towards criminals. There is plenty of corruption to go around, as well as attempts to reform the criminal justice system. There are stories of various members of a family who work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. There is a description of the "job" in Paris at the American Express Building, which was one of the biggest heists of its time. Basically, there's a little something for everyone here, if social history interests you. O'Faolain's journey up to the time she writes the book, and once it is written, is also of interest. Her fascination with May Duignan sends her on not just a physical journey from place to place, but a personal one as she comes to grips with some of her own demons related to her late younger brother. There are ways I think that this book could have been better. There are parts that drag, at least as far as I am concerned. But I found it to be a good read, and a fascinating look at a life that was not necessarily atypical for its time and place.

Demir Yolu Çocukları (Gençlik Dizisi) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

This 2nd book in the also trilogy follows Star Wars Canon with excellent flair. The characters are well created or followed through from thier established personalities in the movies. The action flows well, but does not overwhelm the tension and character ineractions that make the Star Wars universe so beloved. Humor that permeates the movies is carefully woven throughout the story as well, without trying to be to comical. If you want to really know what happens to our heros after Return of the Jedi, this is your lucky day!

A beautifully written meditation on life and death in war-torn Eastern Europe. "Magical realism" at its best.

Dolap Beygiri ( DVD ) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

Fluctuates between tense, exciting/suspenseful parts which are sparse, and much less interesting parts that last much too long. Much from this book is spoiled in popular culture, which ruins some of the suspense. Had I been a 19th century reader, I probably would have found it much more frightful. Very best chapters are the beginning ones, from Jonathan Harker's journal. Had the rest of the book been like them, I would have enjoyed it much more. Great classic anyway.

A decent Steinbeck book. Pretty simple but enough to get you involved and make you think.

Alan Turing-Enigma'Nın Şifresini Çözmek - David Boyle TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Zeplin Kitap

If you grew up in the hey day of heavy metal and hair bands then this will be a trip down amnesia lane. I, however, was a small child through all of the 80's and was specifically listening to whatever my parents listened to which certaintly wasn't Ozzy. I liked it. But his book "Sex, Drugs and Coco Puffs" was better suited to the 30-somethings.
