I must say the author has made a good and funny translation of what would have considered harmless children's stories into modern day PC propaganda. What I will say is that it did get a tiny bit repetitive but otherwise it is a good read. Highly recommended for all those who remember the good old days of our children's stories

The Turn of the Screw (Dover Thrift)by: Henry James 1991-05 Best Selling > Books > Short Stories |

* Henry James's The Turn of the Screw has inspired a divided critical debate, the likes of which the literary world has rarely seen. When the short novel was first published in 1898, it was published in three different versions, as a serial in Collier's Weekly and in book form with another tale, in both American and English editions. James later revised the story and published it in 1908 in the twelfth volume of the New York Edition of The Novels and Tales of Henry James. It is the 1908 version that the author preferred and to which most modern critics refer. However, no matter what version readers encounter, they may find themselves falling into one of two camps supported by critics to this day. Either the story is an excellent example of the type ...

I am an ardent admirer of Kate Atkinson's work, but must confess to being a little reluctant to read a collection of short stories as I most love her ability to expand and deliver storylines form the smallest intrigue within her novels. I should not have been so reticent to read this work however as the stories beautifully collide with characters, themes and much more. Never before have I been lead to re-read a book immediately after finishing it the first time, but this I have done with Not the End of the World with great relish. Not only would I wholeheartedly reccommend this book to anyone but I have just bought copies for many friends and relations for Xmas!

this book, a collection of poems and short stories i came across simply in the attempt to gather as much tolkein as i could to myself, has quickly and completely replaced the LOTR and the silmarilion in my esteem, and is certainly the equal of the hobbit. the first story is perhaps the most light hearted, and an excellent example of tolkeins indoubtable powers as an author; it is, however excellent in its own right, a story that pales in comparison to what follows. the adventures of tom bombadil, leaf by niggle and smith of wooton major are truly beautiful, haunting pieces; each time i have read them in the short time ive owned the book they have genuinly moved me, they are disquieting, honestly strange, haunting and so utterly amazing that they are simply ...

It's difficult to find good Spanish authors suitable for beginners. The idea behind this book is good. Short stories with the Spanish text translated on the opposite page. This makes it easy to progress through the story without losing too much momentum. The translations are quite good. I found the stories a bit boring. It appears that in an effort to find reputable authors of good literature, the editors sacrificed more potentially interesting stories with actual events. The stories are often long-winded and slow with no great drama. They didn't maintain my interest beyond an exercise in grammar and vocabulary building. But if stories about Literary Tea Parties and a woman's indifference to other people get you hooked then this is for you. Personally I prefer stories where things ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have to say I loved this book! It filled in a lot more gaps in LOTR and Middle Earth and went through from The Silmarilion to beyond LOTR. It's amazing the amount of detail Tolkien went in to with these books. The histories, lineages and languages are so detailed and fascinating.
A must for any Tolkien fan. >>More Details |

These four stories are by no means the best in the canon. In none of them do Holmes' deductive powers seem as supernatural as usual. Indeed in one he has to resort to obtaining assistance from a dog. However Merrison and Williams are as good as they come as Holmes and Watson. Their presence, and the work of the adaptor, make these otherwise slight tales well worth listening to.
