Benekli Masallar: Sincap Kahkaha - Fatma Işık TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Beyaz Balina Yayınları

Ever since Kiran Desai won the Man Booker Prize in October last year, as the youngest female winner in the award’s 39 year history, I have been wanting to read it. I picked up my paperback copy from Heathrow while flying home for Christmas, but could not find the time. I admit I felt slightly apprehensive, thinking that as a Booker Prize winner it must be a difficult, challenging read. Then the book was chosen as the March title for the SYP Oxford Book Club and I suddenly had both a very good reason and a deadline for reading it. The story is set in Kalimpong in India, far north-east in the Himalayan mountains, near Bhutan and Nepal. I admit I had to look Kalimpong up on a map, as Himalayan geography was never my strongest subject… The story gripped me within a few pages and transported me completely and utterly to a tiny mountain village on the other side of the world. I could vividly imagine the shabby house where Sai, the main character, lives with her grandfather and their cook, the landscape, plants, smells, even the humidity during monsoon season. I have missed reading stories like this! The book gets under your skin, and it made me feel angry, sad, annoyed and nostalgic as the story progressed. The haunting loneliness that permeates the family lineage of all the characters, the extreme poverty and widespread injustice, the Nepalese insurgency – uncomfortable to read about but necessary for understanding the culture and history where the story is set. It’s been several days since I finished the book but the story won’t let go, it’s playing on my mind and has inspired me to read more about India, West Bengal, Darjeeling and the conflicts in this area. Warmly recommended!

After I finally completed reading Forbidden, the first thing I did was exhale... I realized at that moment that however apprehensive I was, I must review this book, and preach about it's overwhelming, lustful yet tainted voice. Undoubtedly my character of choice would be Lochan Whitley. He blew me away, stole my heart and imparted his pure, conflicted and still very sensual vibes right into it. I feel that he is someone who may continue to reside in my mind till the day I grow wings and fly away, or even maybe just sink down into hell.. Whatever! The dude's coming with me, end of!!! Everyone here's writing about incest, I still want to rave a little about Lochan, so here's my reluctant and veeeeerrrry brief view about it... It's really gross! There! Now with that out of the way, I just have one more task to chuck off my shoulders... Maya was nice too, it's just that she was a far more sober than her brother, and a little too clingy and pushy to seem wholly appealing, but whatever, maybe it's just that I loved her brother so much, that she'd warped into a rival in my eyes. I know, I know! You may be all like, "Duuuude you totally like a guy who banged his sister!" Well i'd say, "it was totally his slutty sister that pushed him off the brink, and insisted they partake in such bigoted, grave matters!" It's true too, his agitation and hesitancy to continue loving Maya was about as blatant as the Statue of Liberty is big! So I got some advice for you Lochan. "Ooh Pick me! Pick me! Make it easier for yourself!" (Of course not that it really makes much of a difference after you read the ending...) Now sorry my review is so un-standardized... It's rather odd for me to do this, it's just that I've got these flurry of torrential emotions that i need to get down to untangling and understanding, before I could possibly write fairly. It's just that when you love a book too much, your views are best left un-expressed... Dunno! maybe it's just that I'm incredibly protective of them, or that love can't be put into words... it's hard to get, but read it and you may just relate... But be sure that you're not the easily queasy sort... Maya may do that to ya!

Büyük Sözcük Fabrikası (Ciltli) - Agnes de Lestrade TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Aylak Kitap

The second and final book of "Don Quixote" earns the same overall rating as the first, but with some different pros and cons. I do consider this to be a sequel to the first "Don Quixote" rather than merely a continuation--it was published ten years after Part I, it has different themes, supporting characters, and story arc. The characterizations are stronger in this volume, both of the leading characters Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and of supporting characters as well. The book gets a bit deeper and more philosophical in some respects, and has less of the slapstick humor for which "Don Quixote" is famous. The idea that the first volume of "Don Quixote" exists and is widely read among characters in the second book is a nice trick, and enables some interesting and amusing situations. However, Cervantes made a grave error in introducing the spurious, unauthorized second part of Don Quixote into his own second part (backstory: while Cervantes was working on his sequel to "Don Quixote," someone else published their own continuation of the Quixote story, which Cervantes evidently considered inferior and insulting). Cervantes' views on this impostor "Don Quixote" book begin to dominate the final chapters of his own work, a decision which detrimentally affected the book's quality and inadvertently brought his rival's novel a good deal more fame and attention over time than it otherwise was likely to have received.
