The Hobbit: Or There and Back Againby: J. R. R. Tolkien 1938-01 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |
||
|
None of the preceding reviews of "El Hobbit" have made reference to the quality of the Castilian translation itself, focussing instead on reviewing the Hobbit as a story. Since the Hobbit as a story is already well known enough (and reviewed enough) not to need further explanation, I thought a few words on the translation itself might be welcome.
The Hobbit is not the easiest work to translate, and Manuel Figueroa has, for the most part, succeeded admirably. Both prose and verse have been translated in a clear, easy-to-read way, and the text is true to the original. A welcome attempt has been made to put across Tolkien's at-times-somewhat-old-fashioned style of writing by using antique Castilian words and phrases, such as the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Christian Counseling: A Comprehensive Guideby: Gary R. Collins January 01, 1920 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |
||
|
This book gives excellent practical advice enabling councillors to help people with all kinds of problems. Each issue has a chapter devoted to it and normally there is a section on how, by pre-emptive action, the problem may in some cases be avoided. While I found all of the problems areas discussed enlightening, the chapters covering the personal issues of anxiety, loneliness, depression, anger and guilt are particularly likely to be of use in any counselling situation. The chapters on homosexuality, choosing a marriage partner and vocational counselling issues were also very good and areas that other authors have often failed to cover in the same depth. Collins attempts to take a Biblical perspective on issues and frequently refers to the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Gone with the Windby: Margaret Mitchell September 01, 1936 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |
||
|
From being 10 years of age this has always been my favourite novel. What a wonderful imagination Margaret Mitchell had. The story is full of wonderment and you cannot help but adore all the characters, especially Mamma and even Ashley although he is spineless!!! Margaret Mitchell makes you see the good in every character in this novel and really does make you keep reading, and looking for the baddie. You only wish the novel ended on a happy note but I guess that is where your imagination kicks in. This book holds such happy memories for me and I hope it will for you too. I dare you to have a couple of duvet days and a box of chocolates and with this novel you will be in seventh heaven. Go on I dare you spoil yourself and I guarantee this book will ... Read More:

Education of a Wandering Manby: Louis L'Amour January 01, 1920 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |
||
|
This was the book that L'Amour had on his desk in galleys when he died in 1988. I have used this book in my Freshman Composition classes for seven years. It is a marvellous book. I suspect that L'Amour did not really want to write it because he did not like to brag about himself. There is no bragging in the book, just the flat out reality that he was curious about the world and his curiosity could be fulfilled by reading. It is a great tribute to audodidacticism, a fancy word for the power of self teaching. I find the book inspiring and an important read for an adolescent, although I have had older students say that it made them readers. I am not much of a fan of L'Amour's westerns, but this book is one of my all-time favorites.

Guns of Augustby: Barbara W. Tuchman January 01, 1920 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |
||
|
This book is a highly readable account of the beginning of World War One. Tuchman brings to life the tumultuous and tenuous state of Europe in 1914 which erupted into the "Great War". I do recommend reading this book with Geoffrey Wawro's excellent short history of the Franco-Prussian War(the war that preceeded WW1) for a better historical perspective.

Forty Four Sermonsby: John Wesley 1944-12 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |

Well, what else can I say? A collection of sermons from one of the most Spirit-filled preachers of all time. A must for all Methodist Local Preachers, and would still be interesting for those of other denominations. A clear set of sermons setting out evangelical, arminian theology.

Death in a Lonely Land: More Hunting, Fishing, and Shooting on Five Continentsby: Peter Hathaway Capstick January 01, 1920 Best Selling > Books > Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable |

First off I must admit that I've never shot anything bigger than a crow. And dragonflies, like Capstick.
But Capstick's yarns are ripping. The hunting stories make you feel as if you've actually been there. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that my interest is more in hunting and fishing stories. But several of the articles are technical pieces on ammunition, which I have no interest in. >>More Details |

I picked up this and the Idiots Guide to... books on Handwriting Analysis. I read this first, in the hope that it would be detailed and provide context for the other. Its a nice small book, thats easily read and completed in a matter of hours rather than days. However, there is some valuable information inside, though its not always clearly explained. Its good to know why a large y loop shows something, but some explanation of why this is so would have helped. Especially in a book that leans on psychoanalsis. Still, its my first graphology book, and though I don't know if its better than the Idiots guide yet (will review that too) I did find it useful and rather enjoyed seeing handwriting styles again - especially in the era of the typeface! >>More Details |
