Berlin 1947 - hayatın devam etmesi gereken harabelerde bir şehir. Tam ortasında çukur ve baykuş, arkadaşları, kardeşleri ve anneleri. Babalar nadirdir; düştüler ya da esaret altındalar. Yenilebilir bir şey, hamster gezileri ve karaborsa satın alımları günlük yaşamın bir parçasıdır. Ve ihtiyaç duyulan zamanlarda yakın geçmişin bir incelemesi geliyor - on iki yıllık Nazi diktatörlüğünün dökülmesi o kadar kolay değil. Pit ve Eule ve arkadaşları moloz dünyasıyla anlaştılar. Harabelerde oynarlar ve daha sonra bir zorla girmeye karışan bir çete oluştururlar. Çocuklar kaçmak, bodrum katında harabelerin altında saklanmak ve gömülmek zorunda ... Bu kitabı okulda okudum ve çok sevdim. Bu, birkaç kez okuduğum birkaç kitaptan biri. Hikaye aynı zamanda heyecan verici ve eğiticidir, çünkü savaş sonrası dönem ve o zamanki gençlerin endişeleri hakkında çok şey öğrenebilirsiniz.
her zamanki okumam değil, ilgi çekici. Kitap, 20. yüzyılın klasik bestecilerini kapsıyor ve çalışmalarını neyin etkilediğini açıklamaya çalışıyor. En çok sanat üzerindeki kültürel ve jeopolitik etkilerle, özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı etkileriyle ilgileniyordum. Ayrıca "kariyer olarak besteleme" yi ve o dünyanın neye benzemesi gerektiğini düşünmek eğlenceliydi. Alex Ross harika bir yazar.
Beastly klasik Güzellik ve canavar üzerinde modern bir bükülme. Başkalarının maddi ve yüzeysel güzelliğinin altına bakmak ahlaki zaman kadar eski bir masaldır. Alex Flinn, bu yaşlıyı bugünün gençliğinin ilişki kurabileceği bir şeye dönüştürmek için dikkate değer bir iş yaptı. Onu sevdim! :)
This was our 9th grade summer reading book and I loved it. It has a touch of fantasy, mystery, a wonderful setting, and it's just an amazing read. I'm a sucker for coming of age stories and this is done masterfully. I'm suprised it wasn't a bigger hit. I fell into this book and loved reading it.
The story of a regular kid from Brooklyn and his rise to... well, not quite fame... as Bill Clinton's comedy speech writer. A great read for people who like politics, people who like Clinton, and people who like comedy. Even if you're not the most politically savvy person on the planet, if you have a good sense of humor and like to see people make fun of themselves, this is a good choice for you. There are some laugh out loud funny parts in this book... only suggested as train reading if you don't mind people looking at you funny as you snicker into your sleeve.
I don't know if I'd call this one of the greatest Holocaust memoirs like it says on the cover blurb, but it is good, and it is significant because it's definitely one of the earliest memoirs. It was originally published in serial form in 1946, only a year after the war ended, but it was suppressed by the Communists and languished in obscurity after that. It wasn't translated into English until recently. The author, Bela Zsolt, was the stepfather of the famous teen Holocaust diarist Eva Heyman, who was killed at Auschwitz. Bela was a famous journalist and novelist before the war, and he used his wealth and connections to escape the ghetto with his wife at the eleventh hour. Both of their entire families perished. Bela returned to Hungary after the war and was elected to Parliament. His wife, Eva Heyman's mother, committed suicide shortly after Eva's diary was published. Bela died in 1948, not long after his wife. He was only in his fifties. Maybe it was a broken heart. I quite enjoyed Zsolt's frank, sardonic writing style. It made me want to read his other works, but I don't think any have been translated into English, and I don't want to read them QUITE badly enough to learn Hungarian. This memoir was about Zsolt's time in the ghetto in 1944, and also his experiences serving as a forced laborer in Ukraine earlier in the war. He has a way of capturing the personalities of minor characters in just a few lines. The book did end very abruptly though. In fact, there was really no ending at all. Perhaps this was due to the serial format it was originally written in; maybe he was contracted for a certain number of issues and no more, so he couldn't wrap things up properly. One wonders how he would have improved upon things if he had lived to edit his serial before it was published in book form. I would recommend this book, particularly to those interested in the Holocaust in Hungary.
Nice place to start learning about herbs. Excellent herbed pizza crust recipe, that just needs to be doubled to make an ample pizza crust.
