Ebs Healthcare advertising5cb0 — This book had me glued to my seat. What a fascinating subject, and who better to investigate it than Bill Bryson? For those who might be put off by academic prose, Mr. Bryson has a remedy: Shakespeare's life, and the story of the search for just what that entailed, rendered in that highly-intelligent yet breezy and unaffected style that has made this author one of the most appreciated figures of our time. The sheer volume of researh he has done and wittled down for presentation is exceptional, and his depictions of Elizabethan and Jacobean England - just for starters - are perfectly executed. The final chapter, entitled 'Claiments,' made me miss my subway stop, so bound up in the "story" had I become. Although Shakespeare's life is largely a series of "sightings" we may deduce from signatures (some of which might not actually be his), Bryson's account causes the reader to think very hard about just who Shakespeare was. Like many, I learned something of the bard in high school, but I never learned that he was "a country boy" or that he was "naturally learned." Here is a book that ought to supplement the teaching of Shakespeare's plays. One wonders just how many writers could take a subject on which virtually nothing is known, and turn it into a couple of hundred pages that cause you to become so absorbed, you all but shut out the world. Shakespeare: The World as Stage is not one Bill Bryson's more popular books, but it is one his best ones.

Leo Collins phamhoangtda2d — Sherman seems to get a pretty bad press for his destructive rampage through Georgia and the Carolinas. This book does manage to humanise him and his cohorts somewhat, though doesn't give much historical background to the Civil War. It is more a series of perceptive vignettes of soldiers, freed slaves and displaced civilians caught up in the chaos and misery of the unrelenting campaign. Vivid and immediate, but an easy, pleasurable and rewarding read despite the subject matter.
