Cafer'in Çilesi ( VCD ) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

This book is put out by an anarchist collective, www.CrimethInc.com, that eschews the use of such trivialities as bar codes and ISBNs. It's a little cliche, I know, but this is the first-ever book recommendation I've received from my sis, a notorious non-reader, so I had to see what it was all about. The book was originally a zine, put together by two girls who were hitchhiking & squatting their way across Europe. They position themselves sometimes as witches, sometimes mermaids, sometimes dirty, tired, lonely girls. But always they are seeking, and dreaming, and trying to find something inspiring or just lovely in everything around them. They include episodes of despair and disappointment, along with tales of kindness and imagination. One chapter finds them playing house in an abandoned building that's still full of its previous owner's old photos, letters, and clothes; in another they're sleeping in a cave on a nude beach; they're picked up by all manner of crazies, including a ecstacy-addled French guy and an organic farmer from Germany. They work on a community garden, find a mysogynist train squat, move through France, Spain, Germany, Prague, Belgium, etc, etc, etc. I have to admit that my jaded/cynical side found this all a little overly sentimental at times, but on the whole, the partially smothered naive dreamer that still sometimes peeks out through my bangs thought Off the Map was really really beautiful.

Iósef Stalin es una de las figuras más famosas de la historia. Ordenó asesinatos sistemáticos a gran escala. Durante sus años de poder y boato, desde finales de la década de los veinte hasta su muerte en 1953, personificó el orden comunista soviético. La Revolución de octubre de 1917 había dado origen en Rusia a una dictadura de partido único y de ideología única que sirvió de modelo de transformación social para un tercio de la superficie del globo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Aunque Lenin había fundado la URSS, fue Stalin quien reforzó y consolidó decisivamente la estructura. Sin Stalin, la Unión Soviética podría haberse desmoronado décadas antes de que fuera desmantelada en 1991. Después de la muerte de Lenin en 1924 mucha gente se sorprendió cuando Stalin logró la victoria en el conflicto por la sucesión que tuvo lugar entre los líderes del partido. Hacia el final de esa década ya había anulado los compromisos que el partido había aceptado de mala gana para mantenerse en el poder después de la Guerra Civil que se había producido en el antiguo Imperio ruso. Stalin dirigió la Unión Soviética hacia la industrialización. Millones de campesinos murieron en el proceso de colectivización de la agricultura. La red de campos de trabajo se expandió y Stalin fortaleció su despotismo por medio del Gran Terror a finales de la década de los treinta. La Operación Barbarroja impulsada por Hitler contra la Unión Soviética en 1941 encontró a Stalin catastróficamente desprevenido. Sin embargo, el Ejército Rojo logró responder al ataque y, con Stalin como comandante supremo, derrotó a la Wehrmacht. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la URSS afirmó su dominio sobre la mitad oriental de Europa. La reputación de Stalin, para bien o para mal, alcanzó su punto culminante. Cuando murió en 1953 fue llorado por millones de compatriotas que tenían razones de sobra para detestarlo a él y a su política. Dejó la URSS convertida en una potencia mundial y en un coloso industrial con una sociedad alfabetizada. Dejó como legado instituciones de terror y de adoctrinamiento con pocos rivales de su envergadura. La historia de la URSS después de su muerte consistió en gran medida en una serie de intentos para conservar, modificar o liquidar su herencia. Stalin no dejó una autobiografía. Hasta finales de la década de los veinte casi nadie se molestó en escribir algo más que una breve semblanza suya.

Seksen Günde Devrialem-Jules Verne TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Antik Kitap

At sixteen, Ana not only discovers she's an angelic spirit in human form, but falls in love with a demon, Dylan. As demons are supposed to be the bad guys, this doesn't seem to be a good idea. However, Ana soon discovers good and evil are very much in the eye of the beholder. I found this a disappointing read. Partly from the unbelievable plot and annoying characters; partly, due to the author's lack of care. If I'm told the heroine has a baby sister, I don't expect her to proclaim herself an only child the first time her boyfriend meets her parents. I also wasn't fond of the author's love affair with adverbs. I think this was supposed to be a book aimed at young adults, but, except for some of the content, it seemed a bit young for that age group. Obviously, the content I speak of put it above middle grade, so I'm not sure who I can recommend it to. The heroine, Ana, struck me as a naïve and, at times, downright stupid girl, who was also a very bad friend - wanting Cheyenne only when she needed Chey to do something for her. The reasoning behind everyone thinking her special passed me by. She was as quick to believe in Dylan as she was to believe everything against him - no proof required. No logical thinking expended. I might have liked Dylan if he hadn't spent most of the book making overly suggestive comments for no particular purpose. I could have done without the religious references. The author didn't seem to be trying to convert anyone to a particular religion, but I still felt God was being stuffed down my throat more than I would like. The plot was decent, with hints added at the beginning until the climax of the end, but the end itself felt as though the author had forgotten to add the final few words. What did I like? The beginning. The beginning was what got me to read the book in the first place. I like how it got straight into things and immediately intrigued me. I liked the voice of the heroine. Unfortunate that the heroine herself didn't endear herself to me. I liked the pacing. So, yes, good beginning. Shame about the rest of the book.
