The Possessed çok keyif aldım. Roman, 1860'larda Rusya'nın taşra kentinde canlı bir yaşam resmi çiziyor. Soyluları, köylüleri, eski köleleri ve taşra yaşamının tüm panoplylerini görüyoruz. Çar'ın Rusya'sının neye benzediğini bilmek istiyorsanız, bu kitabı okuyun. 19. yüzyılın ortalarında Rusya ile ilgilenmiyorsanız bile okuyun. Bu temelde politik bir romandır ve Dostoyevski'nin keşfettiği siyasi ve sosyal temalar hâlâ çok önemlidir. Dostoyevski'nin "kırklılardan liberal" olan eski Stefan Verkhovensky'nin hiciv, bugün dünyada kolayca gözlemlenen belirli bir tür kendi kendine önemli liberali yakalar. Stavrogin, arkadaşına hükümete ne kadar tehlikeli olduğunu ve onu sürekli gözetim altında tutmalarını açıklamak için hiçbir fırsatı kaçırmaz. Elbette saçmalık, ama bugün ulusun okuyucusu olabilir ve PATRIOT eyleminden şikayetçi olabilir. Verkhovensky'nin oğlu, romanın anti-kahramanı, bir nihilist ve bir devrimcidir. Devrimci söylem Pyotr, takipçilerini cinayete ilham vermek için kullandı ve aynı şekilde mevcut söylemlere çok benziyor. Signet Classics baskısından keyif aldım, ancak gerçekliğini gerçekten değerlendirecek nitelikte değilim.
Harry'nin üçüncü macerası ölü bölgeye dönüşüyor ... kelimenin tam anlamıyla. Hayaletler Chicago'nun etrafında dolaşıyor ve Harry, neyin (veya kimin) hepsini bir araya getirdiklerini bulmalı ... bir sonraki kurbanları olmadan önce. Bu başa çıkmak için yeterli değilse, yerel vampirlerin de gözleri var. Ve dişleri. Ve beni deli vaftiz annesine bile atma ... Bu kitaptaki yeni karakterler arasında yerel vampir sahnesinin başı olan Bianca (Kitap 1'de tanıtıldı ancak burada sahne alıyor); Tanrı'nın Yumruğu olarak adlandırılan Michael Carpenter, ailesi (eşi Charity, Harry'nin en büyük hayranlarından biri değil) ve kılıcı ... İsa'yı çarmıha germek için kullanılan çivilerden birini içeren; Harry'nin peri vaftiz annesi Lea, ruhunun hemen hemen arkasında ... ya da en azından ömür boyu kulluk; ve kanı beslemeyen çeşitliliğin bir vampiri olan (hepsi kitapta açıklanmıştır), Harry'e en çok ihtiyaç duyduğu zaman bir el veriyor ...
Çok düşündürücü kitap ekledi.
Encounter God in the City by Randy White is a must read for anyone living in an urban center who yearns to see God's kingdom break in. It provides both encouraging and hopeful stories while giving practical advice on how to bring about tangible improvements to impoverished areas. In Part One the author shares personal stories of transformation. He tells of successes and mistakes he has made when he moved to a blighted urban neighborhood with his family to minister. He likens his journey, and that of anyone who places themselves in an intentionally challenging setting, to that of being dipped in a corrosive substance which slowly removes layers of corrosion - those forces which shape a person. In Part Two the author delves into explaining the forces at work in the city. Alluding to Paul's principalities and powers, he describes both passive forces (homelessness, mental illness, decay) and active forces (civic government policies which favor the rich over the poor, &c.) These forces all work to pull those living in the city away from God and must be opposed or transformed using a variety of means, which he goes on to describe in Part Three. More than emphasizing specific actions to take, the author gives larger guidelines for how and when to act in Part Three. He strongly warns against rushing into a situation which you may not understand and accidentally causing more harm than good with good intentions. There is no quick fix to the city's problems. Instead, Christians are to strive to bring about an all-encompassing shalom in their city with their small, every day actions in addition to larger efforts at transformation. The city may never be perfect, but when all the Christians in the city work together in a communal effort toward individual and communal transformation, the city will move closer toward a shalom. The book did not pander to the theologically conservative or liberal. In a progressive attitude becoming more common among the evangelical movement, the author stressed the importance of both meeting "spiritual" needs such as evangelism and discipleship as well as "physical" needs such as relief aid and structural reform. Finally, I give personal kudos to the author for calling out mental illness as one of the strong forces which change the cityscape. He does not gloss over the problem or provide any easy answers; rather he simply mentions the powerful existence of mental illness and encourages Christians to struggle together with those who suffer in any fashion. As a worker in the mental health field, I find that not many Christians are ready to deal with the issue of mental illness, as it IS difficult and there are no easy answers. For that matter, Christians everywhere need to be encouraged to become more involved in the city's urban areas and work for the establishment of shalom and the transformation of powers such as mental illness into life-giving forces. Because I believe most people would benefit by reading this book, it receives a 5/5 rating. This review originally appeared on my blog: http://mrsundquist.blogspot.com/2011/...
This guy has a sailor mouth
I had fun while I was reading it, but I am not finding myself thinking about it a week later. In fact, I'm hard pressed to recall much about it other than I liked it. Entertaining.
This is one of my all time favorite books. I found it in 6th grade and had read it 5 times in my first seven months of middle school. Watership Down has wonderful characters and you really feel close to the main characters of Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, and Kehaar. Adams really makes you imagine the life of a rabbit in a warren. He builds the whole world- legends, stories, terrors-and sucks you in. If Adams had not done Watership Down, there would be no Firebringer or The Sight by David Clement-Davies.
