Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo

We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. <br /> <br />The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.01318333675002008-10-11

The Count of Monte Cristo

I boutht this for my Grandson freshman class in World History. He enjoyed the book and recieved a good grade on his report01318333675002008-10-09

It's All Good

The book arrived in excellent condition and it has been a delightful book to read. <br /> <br />01318333675002008-09-14

Now I know why it's a classic

I've often heard of references to this book, but never had an occasion to read it. After reading "Lone Survivor", I was curious to read "The Count of Monte Cristo". Dumas certainly set the bar high for all those to follow in this genre. The intrigue and twists are exceptional. A classic which should be a "must read".01318333675002008-09-09

Difficult to read but well worth it.

How does one review a classic? Especially one so noteworthy as to have demanded the creation of 11 or more film variations, numerous adaptations, and even television series? I long avoided reading this novel due mainly to it's daunting size, and the fear that it's translation would cause the reader more work than I was willing to put into it. However my burning desire to know the true tale of Edmond Dantes overruled my hesitation. <br /> <br />The story, for those of you who are unfamiliar, follows Edmond Dantes in his wrongful imprisonment at the hands of his friends, his 14 years in the Chateau D'If, his escape and rebirth as a self proclaimed hand of vengeance against those who had wronged him. If you have only seen the movies, the book, particularly the ending, is far different than what Hollywood has created. There are no dramatic duels, no massive swordfights with brigands, and not everyone who we believe should, lives happily ever after. This is instead a slow but genius work of Dantes methodically stripping away all that his enemies held dear to them, at whatever cost. None die by his hand, but are rather destroyed by his influence, and their own evil choices come back to haunt them. <br /> <br />The story itself is genius, interesting and very fun. The writing, particularly the translation that I read, is an often difficult and sometimes tedious work that one may need a notebook to keep straight. The cast of characters is very large and they are often referred to by different names, making it a bit more difficult to keep track of who is who without some sort of note taking. I was not smart enough to take notes, and thus had to spend quite a bit of time searching my brain to make sure I was thinking of the correct person as I read, particularly with some of the more minor story lines and the characters that weaved in and out of the story with multiple chapters between their appearances. Also, this book will probably be disappointing to those who are interested in the action that the movies provided. The Count of Monte Cristo, does not come in with guns blazing, but rather plays a very well thought out and disturbing game of mental chess against his opponents. As readers we hope for their downfall, but also wonder how far the Count will go... his years of imprisonment have left him hardened and disturbingly without remorse at the use of innocents to gain his vengeance. As he plays his pieces we wonder just who will be sacrificed, and who will have the chance to live happily ever after in this dark world of Dumas. <br /> <br />Readers of more modern novels may have trouble with this book because of the sheer volume of concurrent story lines, all of which are necessary for understanding the strings being pulled by the Count. But to remember the tale of the lovers, the orphan, the bandit, the banker, the ship builder, the assassin, the count, the princess, the steward, the military man, the lawyer, the cheating husband and wife, the lost love, the musician, the buried baby, the dying father, the paralyzed grandfather, the murderess, the thief, the countess, the emperor and all of their relations, can be quite a daunting task for any reader. Still each of these stories could be a book of their own, keeping the reader quite entertained, but Dumas has managed to weave them all together into one, brilliant and shining tale... if you can keep them straight through the end. <br /> <br />What surprised me most was the ending of this story. It was not what I wanted, or hoped for. True I loved Haidee, and wanted nothing but her happiness... but many seemed to be left in suffering that did not deserve the fate that they were bound to. I will not elaborate for fear of spoiling the ending... but this does not end on a Hollywood, "they all ride off into the sunset" ending. Perhaps the meaning of the story is not all about revenge, but rather what damage the hunt for vengeance can bring to not just those who have wronged you, but to all those that surround you. The downfall of selfishness; be it falsely imprisoning someone to gain what you may, to the selfishness of vengeance... there is so much meaning in this book, I can see why it is so often "required reading." Though I highly recommend this book, I would advise you attempt to read it with others either in a class or a reading group so that you can discuss all of the rich meaning behind Dumas's words. <br />This book presents a tale of love and revenge in the post-Napoleonic era. Edmond Dantes, a nineteen-year-old sailor from Marseilles, is soon to be captain of his own ship and to marry his beloved, the beautiful Mercedes. But spiteful enemies provoke his arrest on his wedding day, and he is condemned to life in prison. His sole companion is the 'crazy' priest Faria, who shares with Edmond a secret escape plan, and a map to hidden riches on the island of Monte Cristo. When Faria dies, Edmond attempts the incredible escape alone. finally he is free and rich beyond imagination after 14 years in prison. Keeping his true identity a secret, he enters society as Count of Monte Cristo, a polite, refined nobleman determined to reclaim his lost love, and to avenge his accusers. This is a story of suspense, intrigue, love and the triumph of good over evil.045153003908220032600446310786B00006ADFM0449213943712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713072011General AAS4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books713392011General AAS10125General17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books713365011General AAS17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books11986Linguistics11970Words & Language21Reference1000Subjects283155Books12006Study & Teaching11970Words & Language21Reference1000Subjects283155Books11979General11970Words & Language21Reference1000Subjects283155Books713606011General AAS11970Words & Language21Reference1000Subjects283155Books408268General21Reference1000Subjects283155Books713587011General AAS21Reference1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1844441288http://www.amazon.com/Brown-Bear-What-You-See/dp/1844441288%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1844441288Eric CarleBill MartinPaperback535.69781844441280Import1844441288Mantra LinguaEnglishMantra LinguaBook2003-04Mantra LinguaMantra Lingua111860USD$8.600200005.03196418444412885002008-11-29

A great book for little people!!

This book was a gift from family, for our baby daughter. We started reading it to her at around 12 months. She LOVES this book. She is actually a very curious girl now at 18 months, and will grab books all evening long for me to read to her. <br /> <br />Your little ones will be able to identify the different animals and even the colors soon after reading this book. It has a nice pentameter, thats just right for the developing LAD. <br /> <br />I am here to order more from this author, and I am sure you will too. 18444412885002008-11-13

Best bear book ever

Brown Bear, Brown Bear is a classic for babies and toddlers. They may go through more than one copy. It's the first book that they memorize and that's the first step in beginning to read. <br />I buy it often for young children. 18444412885012008-10-31

Brown Bear's back!

I remember reading this charming story to my own kids and also to my preschool class. Now it's been reissued in board book format, artistically illustrated, and every bit as enjoyable. This is a perfect book for teaching color and animal names, in a catchy rhyming format. Each page foretells what the animal and color will be on the next. Recommended for reading to babies and for beginning readers to tackle on their own. 18444412885002008-10-09

Sweet brown bear

Never get tired of this one... love that sweet brown bear and all his friends18444412883002008-09-27

Repetitive, but that's the idea. Young kiddos, remember?

There are days when I am just thoroughly annoyed by this book. <br /> <br />And yet it remains a classic, and I grudgingly agree. <br /> <br />How can anyone not love the awesome repetitive rhymes and varying colors and animals? And how can you not get chills at how these animals are all staring at each other? <br /> <br />The original of interactive books and still probably the best. 039922690706940036110763642649068983568X0805053883713072011General AAS4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0001712667http://www.amazon.com/Places-Youll-Dr-Seuss-Classic-Collection/dp/0001712667%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D00017126672649728http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NV08EAK8L._SL75_.jpg7554http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NV08EAK8L._SL160_.jpg160115http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NV08EAK8L.jpg475340Dr. SeussPaperback428.69780001712669Import160001712667Picture LionsEnglishEnglish886Picture Lions48Book1997-11-03Picture LionsPicture Lions316420000005.02735500017126674002008-10-28

Great book outlining life's up's and downs

Beautiful book, great going away present or changing life/adventure present. I find the book to be a realistic view on life, it doesn't sugar coat the turmoils of life's experience. However, it gives a great sense of when life doesn't go to plan everything will be good in the end and encourages us to embrace life's curve balls.00017126675002008-10-22

Great for ALL ages

This book is great for ALL ages! I originally read this book when it was given to my dad by a friend as he was starting his own business. And now I read it to my 18-month old, who seems to love it. Maybe it's the rhymes and the pictures that my little one loves so much right now, but the message of the book is great for ALL ages.00017126675002008-10-09

This Seuss Classic In Not Just For Kids

This classic Dr. Seuss book is not just for kids. It's probably not even especially for kids. This classic book is the perfect gift for transitions: graduation, weddings, adoptions (my favorite paired with Dr. Seuss's "Horton Hatches An Egg"), new job, getting fired from a horrible job, ....) <br /> <br />And this deluxe edition is especially perfect for that gift at a special landmark occasion. <br /> <br />Ted Geisel might have crafted a book that gets shelved in the Children's Section in libraries and book stores, but he was writing especially to those of us who periodically forget, and want or need to remember, how magical and special every day of life can be.00017126675002008-09-10

Excellent Work

Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a very good graduation gift, and my traditional gift for such occasions. But in regular bookstores, the cost usually averages at $18. Now, used books are great ideas, usually about $5, but not for graduation gifts. So when these $12 per arrived in perfect NEW condition I was thrilled. Go Amazon.00017126674002008-08-11

Great recognition gift

We use this book as a completion/graduation gift for a summer program for high school students that gives them experience in working at a university-level research project. The program is called SHARP. The book edition is hardback with a color-embossed jacket, so it will hold up as a keepsake, and the kids use it as they would a yearbook--collecting autographs and keep-in-touch messages from their friends and teachers.03948271980394831292039482337003948007880394800168184939Dr. Seuss184931Book Characters184930Popular Characters4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books713072011General AAS4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0385176228http://www.amazon.com/Neverending-Story-Michael-Ende/dp/0385176228%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0385176228148907http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51swjlp1FBL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51swjlp1FBL._SL160_.jpg160108http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51swjlp1FBL.jpg500339Michael EndeRalph ManheimHardcover833.91497803851762241250385176228Doubleday BooksEnglishEnglishEnglish9003195USD$31.95Doubleday Books1396Book1983-10Doubleday BooksDoubleday Books135600598USD$5.983195USD$31.9503470005.02705403851762285002008-11-29

In the Realm Of the Childlike Empress

Years ago I inattentively watched the (first) movie of this on TV and found it too cute by half. This put me off reading the book for years. One weekend I happened to have a copy by me, so I picked it up and began to read. After 3-4 pages I wasn't that impressed. After 10-12 pages I was absolutely hooked. <br /> <br />When I finished it, I stood up, sighed, put the book down on the chair, and felt a kind of startlement like being struck with a bucket of cold water. I looked down, picked up the book again, glanced at the cover... then I sat down and began to read it all over again. When I was through, the process repeated and I read it a third time. This is the only time in my life I have ever read a book three times in a row uninterruptedly. <br /> <br />Does anyone out there still need to be told that this is one of the best books ever written, and that not having read it is a tragic deprivation, like not liking music or never having eaten strawberries? If so, consider yourself told. <br />It is one of those rare children's classics that can be read by anyone, of any age. Once you've read it, you can no longer imagine the Universe without it. You don't feel that Michael Ende ever needed to write it; you feel that he must have just Found it somewhere. <br /> <br />His inventiveness is limitless, stupefying: enough material here for dozens of ordinary children's books. Certain scenes, like the part halfway through about the lion Grograman and the Night Forest Perilin, are so truly astonishing that you're left at a loss, not merely for words but for anything at all: your mouth hangs open and your mind goes blank. <br /> <br />At the same time this is the most profound investigation ever made into what a Story is, and what Imagination is, their value and their dangers. When you think the author has gone as far as he'll dare, he goes further, then further, and then still further. This wonderful book should be in every home.03851762285002008-11-24

The movie will never be enough again.

Like many people, I first knew about The Neverending Story through the movie. At first, I didn't even know about the book. Then I didn't really care. After all, how many of you actually care to read the book of every movie you might have seen? <br /> <br />But lately out of a bit of nostalgia, I went back through my video library and watched the first and second movie. Still craving more, I decided to bite the bullet and order this book. I'm glad I did. <br /> <br />As I'm sure you've read from other reviews, the first movie barely covers half of the book. Even then, at the end of the movie it started to stray way off of what the book had. The second movie just borrowed a few characters and one or two of the plot devices and went its own way. As much as I may love the movies, they pale in comparison to what is in the book. The book is richer and a lot deeper than the movies. There are key concepts and morals that never made their way into the films, too many to go into in this review. But over all, the first movie seemed to try to just get the story that was in the book while missing the whole point of why the story is important in the first place. The second movie didn't even bother to do that much. If you like the movies you really owe it to yourself to read this book. <br /> <br />I would also suggest getting this hardback version. I've seen the paperback at a local bookstore. The cover is nowhere near as pretty. It's missing all of the beautifully drawn illustrations that this one has. Above all, the duo-colored lettering adds so much to the reading. Michael Ende does a lot of clever little things that help draw the reader into experiencing this book more than simply reading it. A lot of what he does includes the lettering and the many illustrations that are found in this book. It's worth getting the hard cover version just for the way it deepens the experience. You won't regret it. <br />03851762285002008-11-11

You'll be blown away

I first read this book at about 9, or 10, years old, and, I have to say, I thought it to be the best book I had ever read (and I read a lot). Now, after reading it for the third time as a 13 year-old, I wish I had waited so I could enjoy it as I did while also appreciating the plot and character development. The author did a very good job with portraying how man becomes corrupted by what he wants (the Gem is a bit like Tolkein's Ring) and that the world of our imagination is more important than we think, while entertaining the reader, its just amazing. If you like Tolkein, you'll definently like the Neverending Story (which gets very close to being as good as LOTR at times). <br /> That said, lets talk a little about the story. I don't want to reveal too much, but I'l give you a basic summary of the story to motivate you towards buying it. <br /> The cool thing about it is this: the main character is not what you would imagine a hero to be. He's fat, pale, bowlegged, and nerdy. But when he finds a book called the Neverending Story with the image of two entertwined snakes on the front, (Hmm, isn't that familiar), he is launched into an adventure that changes him completely. And even when he does become a real hero, (handsome, skilled, smart), his problems aren't over. <br /> But I'm getting ahead of myself. Through the eyes of Bastian, we read about Fantasia and its many wonders, and how the Nothing is destroying everything. The Nothing is complete absence of matter: when you look at it, it's as if you were blind. The Childlike Empress, ruler of Fantasia, is sick, and if she dies, everything dies. So Atreyu, again an unlikely hero, being a ten-year old and all, but more likely than Bastian, embarks on a quest to find the cause for the Nothing and the Empress's sickness and how to stop both. This all seems pretty typical, but, as it turns out, the Neverending Story is anything but. And, actually, Atreyu's quest alone is enough to make anyone atleast like it. <br /> But it doesn't stop there. Bastian then goes into the Neverending story and saves Fantasia from utter destruction by the Nothing. He becomes renowned throughout Fantasia as a savior and creator. However, the Other World, Earth is still corrupted. Bastian sets about trying to return in order to tell people about Fantasia and ultimately restore mankind to the people they were meant to be. He travels using AURYN, the amulet which grants wishes given to him by the Childlike Empress, and he's always wanting different things which causes conflict. Through a series of plot twists, physical and spiritual battles, and interestingly philosophical encounters with Fantasia's peoples, Ende then goes on to weave a story of adventure, conquest, betrayal, suspense, and neverending creativity through Bastian's constantly changing quest. It features epic battles, bizarre imagery, likeable characters, mindbending settings, and, really, everything I always imagined the best book ever would have. The world of Fantasia is so immense, you just wish you go could there and explore it all. Micheal is possibly the most creative perspn I'v ever come across, up there umong Neil Gaiman, Jim Henson, and all the greats. I'm surprised he managed to pack so many creative ideas into one book. (For instance, there is a race of people who are born as old men and die as children.) <br /> Anyway, the underlining point is this: The Neverending Story is not just for kids. I know, technically, I am a kid, but I'm sure adults would agree with me. Of course, there are quite a few slightly corny or childish names and creatures, but, being a story about the world of imagination, Ende coulden't really avoid this, and, anyway, I don't think it hurts the rest of the book at all. The movies are another matter; compared to the book, their all cheesy, unrealistic, poorly peiced together imitations of good fantasy. Do yourself a favor and press the "Add to Shopping Cart" button, or atleast head to your local library, as soon as possible. You'r in for a treat. <br /> <br />03851762285002008-10-09

A classic - for kids and adults alike

Once again, I remember reading this book when I was a child. I had always been a bookworm and no problems diving into the imaginary world. This book will bring you even further. The story is one that everyone can relate to - young and old. The translation from German seems to me very good. I unfortunately do not remember every exact wording in German. The message of the book is very clear once you start reading - and even though I was hesitant, I think the movie was very well done to capture this. <br />There are not many books that one can read every now and then and still feel a renewed bond with the story. This one will keep you wondering what happened to you when you grew up.03851762285002008-08-21

Any fantasy lover should read this book!

If you've seen the movie, you've only gotten a taste of what this book has to offer. The movie is only an abbreviated adaptation of the first half of the book, and the sequels are simply spin-offs of the first movie. This book has so much more to offer! It's a story about the importance of imagination and fantasy, self-discovery and identity, and the importance of discovering what is truly important in your heart. At the very least the story in these pages is one of the greatest fantasy stories you will ever read... and if you truly open your heart to the story, you will walk away a better person after having read it.Small and insignificant Bastian Balthazar Bux is nobody's idea of a hero, least of all his own. Then, through the pages of an ancient, mysterious book, he discovers the enchanted world of Fantastica, and only Bastian himself can save the fairy people who live there.01560352190451450523B00005LKHZB000BPL2GK006114202610412German10311World Literature17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books10129Contemporary17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books713365011General AAS17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books15111Ende, Michael15085( E )14652Authors, A-Z25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books16282General16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books713749011General AAS16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books3423362618http://www.amazon.com/Prophet-Kahlil-Gibran/dp/3423362618%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D34233626182812576http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21AA582P5EL._SL75_.jpg7545http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21AA582P5EL._SL160_.jpg16096http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21AA582P5EL.jpg180108Kahlil GibranPaperback9783423362610393423362618Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH & Co.GermanGermanGerman717Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH & Co.124Book2002-02-08Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH & Co.Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH & Co.30437751USD$7.51644USD$6.448200005.02635334233626184002008-11-28

Nice, but not original

Gibran was a great author and in this book he truly shines. I recommend this book to anyone, even if he/she is not into reading. The book is short but full of wisdom. I only gave it 4 stars because the idea of the book (and even the title) are taken from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" which I gave 5 stars. So I didnt think it would be fair to give this one an equal grading. I actually recommend both books, but The Prophet is much easier to read, while Thus Spoke Zarathustra is deeper and more intelligent. 34233626185112008-11-17

The Best Book Ever Written?

I keep a copy of this book nearby at all times for quick reference, my personal copy home to numerous marks and marginal notes. Every line reads as the most delicate of poetry, honed and refined to the purest and most undeniable words of truth and wisdom. <br />This may be the height of human understanding, bringing a peace and solidarity which encompasses the many to make us all one. <br />34233626181292008-10-15

hideous piffle for dimwits

<br />This book is a sort of Hallmark Greeting card compilation of the type of vacuous garbage-thought that made the 1970s a cultural disaster. Are you a sentimental pacifist who thinks Gandhi was swell, but never heard of the Moriori? Do you think of love as some sort of emotional flatulence that comes and goes the way weather does? Do you think evil is only a result of people being insufficiently nice to one another? Are your views on child rearing that you should let the kids do what they want because they're individuals? Do you think business is evil and soul destroying, and hurts the world more than it helps? Do you think religion is bad, but spiiiiirituality is good? Do you think criminals shouldn't be punished, because it's not really their fault? Do you think a mindless pursuit of pleasure is necessary for a healthy life? Well, if you believe any of these things, and enjoy saccharine sweet sing-songey prose, this book is for you. It comes in an attractive hard cover, making it appear to be a very serious book, on the same level as Jonathan Livingston Seagull, but with more naked lady pictures inside. It will provide you with many prim moments of doltish piety in your cloud cuckoo land. You may even be able to use this tome to pick up on people who are as morally defective as you are. <br /> <br />Personally, I prefer my wisdom to be, you know, at least vaguely wise. If I want florid saccharine language, I'll go read some Browning or other Victorian poetry. You can pick up antique volumes of such stuff for cheap, since books which required effort to write or read are unfashionable these days. They also look nicer on your bookshelf. As a bonus, it might actually be good for you to read Browning, whereas reading Gibran is sort of like giving yourself a mental venereal disease. <br /> <br />Please, humanity, restore my faith in basic human decency: stop reading this book. This book destroys souls and stunts aesthetics. If you must give copies of the book to people, give it to people you don't like. Give this book in the same spirit the British sold Opium to the Chinese. The end result will be much the same if they take the precepts of this silly book seriously. <br /> <br />34233626185112008-09-01

Eight Decades Later: Still Relevant, Insightful and Eloquent

These days, Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" often gets dismissed as "hippie" literature. Yet, this book had been a bestseller LONG before the 1960s. Originally published in 1923, it almost instantly became a hit and even did well through the Great Depression. Today, Gibran's claim to fame is being the third best-selling poet of our time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu... and pretty much entirely based on sales of this book. When his publisher, Alfred Knopf was asked who the audience for the book was, he flippantly dismissed the question. "It Must be a cult," he retorted. <br /> <br />Yet there is no such cult. What's incredible is that there's absolutely no marketing hype behind the success of this book. Gibran himself is long gone. There is no political, religious, or commercial enterprise attached to his name bent on winning souls and/or profits. The Gibran estate has merely been licensing copies year after year in response to the demand - a demand fueled pretty much entirely by word-of-mouth and chance discovery. The fact is, the twenty-six poems in this book have a surprising and suprassing relevance, insight and compassion. Broken down into several topics ("On Love", "On Work", "On Joy and Sorrow", etc.) the book itself recounts the sermons of a fictional poet leaving behind the gift of knowledge before he leaves his homeland. <br /> <br />I first found Gibran through a setting of his poem "On Children" by local Washington, D.C. singers Sweet Honey in the Rock on their album, "Breaths." <br /> <br />"Your children are not your children. <br />They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. <br />They come through you but not from you, <br />And though they are with you yet they belong not to you." <br /> <br />At the time I was about to leave for college and eighteen years of living under my parent's roof had made me restless for autonomy. That poem eloquently expressed everything I was yearning to say to them in my hours of frustration and adolescent angst. It later proved to be a reference to turn to in times where I needed confidence to live an independent and fulfilling life, while still maintaining respect and compassion towards the parents who had raised me. <br /> <br />I am not exaggerating when I say that the poems in this book have kept me grounded and sane throughout some of the most troubling times in my life. Our modern lives are ever hectic, stressful and busy - wrought with drama, frustration, depression, etc. The knowledge in these poems brings me back to a "middle ground" - there is a sage wisdom and clarity in the poems that has often been helpful for me in "unwinding" and coming back to earth. They bring me back to a place of clarity from whcih I can see my life from a wider perspective. <br /> <br />Though Gibran himself was a Christian and despite the title and conceit of the book, this is not really a religious book. The insight in this book would be applicable to your life even if you are an atheist. What's more, the poetry is mostly imagistic. Do not expect the academic poetics of Gibran's contemporaries Eliot or Pound or even Frost. They are written with the aim of being accessible and immediate to the reader and rely mostly on clear metaphors and vivid imagery. <br /> <br />Copies of "The Prophet" are not hard to come by. Perhaps check out the book's table of contexts either using Amazon's "Search Inside" feature or in your local bookstore and see if it addresses a problem or issue you are dealing with. That's a good a place as any to start with. Chances are, you will find something that speaks to you on some level. <br />34233626181092008-08-26

adequate

I appreciate getting the book at the great price. I'm really not complaining but the book was quite yellow and the jacket was torn in various places. It looked like it was on the shelf for quite a while........MaureenB/W Illust.In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. <I>--Brian Bruya</I>014019553X089009389X0486419118185168512X0140195548725798General11773Foreign Languages21Reference1000Subjects283155Books713597011General AAS11773Foreign Languages21Reference1000Subjects283155Books297953Gibran, Kahlil297878( G )297871Authors, A-Z22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0385495315http://www.amazon.com/Code-Book-Evolution-Secrecy-Cryptography/dp/0385495315%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0385495315215261http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W296RNF6L._SL75_.jpg7558http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W296RNF6L._SL160_.jpg160124http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W296RNF6L.jpg475367Simon SinghHardcover652.80997803854953181340385495315DoubledayEnglishEnglishEnglish9552495USD$24.95Doubleday1416Book1999-09-14Doubleday1999-09-14Doubleday140650823USD$8.23194USD$1.942495USD$24.95138080005.02525103854953155002008-08-04

Cryptography 101

As always Simon Singn takes the reader on a fantastic trip through History. Filled with entertaining stories, puzzles and heroic events, the author skillfully covers the history of secret writing. If you liked his coverage of Fermat's Enigma then you will definitely enjoy this book. <br /> <br />The prose is capturing, deep enough to fascinate technical readers and light enough to just entertain the casual reader. I specialized in Quantum computers while studying Mathematics and I am astonished that the author manages to explain such non-trivial subjects as quantum computers and cryptography to the degree where ordinary readers can actually understand how they work and their impact on ciphers such as RSA/DSA. In short another great read from one of the best and most entertaining technical writers who ever lived.03854953155002008-06-20

Excellent reading on evolution of cryptography

Simon Singh books usually hold you from the first page and till the end. "The code book" is very well written and very informative. You will see how it's started and where cryptography goes, but even more interesting part of history of cryptography - life (sometimes secret life) of people who worked and continue to work on development of cryptosystems.03854953155002008-06-14

Excellent

Nutshell review - This is an excellent book covering the history of cryptography up to present day and into the near future. Very well written, easy to understand and worth reading by any layperson interested in the topic.03854953155002008-05-23

excellent

great book regarding the history of cryptography. The only way to truly understand anything is c the history of it's introductionCodes have decided the fates of empires, countries, and monarchies throughout recorded history. Mary, Queen of Scots was put to death by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, for the high crime of treason after spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham cracked the secret code she used to communicate with her conspirators. And thus the course of British history was altered by a few sheets of cryptic prose. This is just one link in humankind's evolutionary chain of secret communication, and just one of the fascinating incidents recounted in <b>The Code Book</b>, written by bestselling author Simon Singh.<br><br>Combining a superb storyteller's sense of drama and a scientist's appreciation for technical perfection, Singh traces the evolution of secret writing from ancient Greek military espionage to the frontiers of computer science. The result is an epic tale of human ingenuity, with examples that range from the poignant to the peculiar to the world-historical.<br><br>There is the case of the Beale ciphers, which involves Wild West escapades, a cowboy who amassed a vast fortune, a buried treasure worth $20 million, and a mysterious set of encrypted papers describing its whereabouts--papers that have baffled generations of cryptanalysts and captivated hundreds of treasure hunters.<br><br>A speedier end to a bloody war was the only reward that could be promised to the Allied code breakers of World Wars I and II, whose selfless contributions altered the course of history; but few of them lived to receive any credit for their top-secret accomplishments. Among the most moving of these stories is that of the World War II British code breaker Alan Turing, who gave up a brilliant career in mathematics to devote himself to the Allied cause, only to end his years punished by the state for his homosexuality, while his heroism was ignored. No less heroic were the Navajo code talkers, who volunteered without hesitation to risk their lives for the Allied forces in the Japanese theater, where they were routinely mistaken for the enemy.<br><br>Interspersed with these gripping stories are clear mathematical, linguistic, and technological demonstrations of codes, as well as illustrations of the remarkable personalities--many courageous, some villainous, and all obsessive--who wrote and broke them.<br><br>All roads lead to the present day, in which the possibility of a truly unbreakable code looms large. Singh explores this possibility, and the ramifications of our increasing need for privacy, even as it begins to chafe against the stated mission of the powerful and deeply secretive National Security Agency. Entertaining, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this is a book that will forever alter your view of history, what drives it, and how private that e-mail you just sent really is.<br><br>Included in the book is a worldwide Cipher Challenge--a $15,000 award will be given by the author to the first reader who cracks the code successfully. Progress toward the solution will be tracked on The Code Book website.People love secrets, and ever since the first word was written, humans have written coded messages to each other. In <I>The Code Book</I>, Simon Singh, author of the bestselling <I>Fermat's Enigma</I>, offers a peek into the world of cryptography and codes, from ancient texts through computer encryption. Singh's compelling history is woven through with stories of how codes and ciphers have played a vital role in warfare, politics, and royal intrigue. The major theme of <I>The Code Book</I> is what Singh calls "the ongoing evolutionary battle between codemakers and codebreakers," never more clear than in the chapters devoted to World War II. Cryptography came of age during that conflict, as secret communications became critical to either side's success. <p> <blockquote>Confronted with the prospect of defeat, the Allied cryptanalysts had worked night and day to penetrate German ciphers. It would appear that fear was the main driving force, and that adversity is one of the foundations of successful codebreaking.</blockquote><p> In the information age, the fear that drives cryptographic improvements is both capitalistic and libertarian--corporations need encryption to ensure that their secrets don't fall into the hands of competitors and regulators, and ordinary people need encryption to keep their everyday communications private in a free society. Similarly, the battles for greater <I>decryption</I> power come from said competitors and governments wary of insurrection. <I>The Code Book</I> is an excellent primer for those wishing to understand how the human need for privacy has manifested itself through cryptography. Singh's accessible style and clear explanations of complex algorithms cut through the arcane mathematical details without oversimplifying. Can't get enough crypto?

A Very Helpful Manual

This book is very helpful to anyone wishing to self-publish their own book. It is filled with useful information and leads the reader to other useful resources outside of the book including Poynter's own website. Unfortunately, many of these outside references carry a price tag greater than the cost of this book. All in all, I would recommend this book to any self-publisher as a standard reference guide.15686014255002008-11-14

Amazing book, but too optimistic

This manual is amazing. But be carefuk: the author is so optimistic that you might end up spending more money than your book can fetch in sales. Also, it doesn't cover legal issues. I'm planning to buy this soon: Business and Legal Forms for Authors and Self Publishers15686014255002008-09-22

Advice that works

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed any of Dan's books before. I've heard him speak, I've met him and I have been receiving his newsletter for many years. <br /> <br />I'm not a publisher, but I work with publishers and I employed two of Dan's free promotional techniques and have to say, they worked! I've gotten many new clients from doing something that took me only a few minutes and that people thanked me for doing. <br /> <br />In fact, one of my all-time favorite clients informed me just last week that it was because of one of those little nuggets of wisdom, she found me. <br /> <br />Dan Poynter's advice was by far the best promotional advice I've ever received. <br /> <br />I plan to read all of his books a second time in case I missed something.15686014255002008-09-14

I couldn't ask for more!

Buy the Katherine Woods translation only

To get the most enjoyment from this beautiful book, buy the original Katherine Woods translation. 18844739975112008-03-09

Katherine Woods - The name to remember

Katherine Woods' translation is the only English-language version of The Little Prince which captures the beauty, simplicity, clarity, and profundity of the Antoine de St. Exupery's classic, penned in French. <br /> <br />(The newer translation is appallingly horrid and bland, mistaken, and frankly perplexing.) <br /> <br />This is really not a children's book, although older children will appreciate it. <br /> <br />Don't measure the value by the thickness of the book. De St. Exupery, himself a WWI pilot, writes with a great economy yet produces here the most beautiful poetry with a delightful playfulness and childlike innocence -- a fresh vision which thus sees clearly and does not obscure the profound. <br /> <br />Mr. Fred Rogers used to quote from de St. Exupery, whose image and illustrations once graced the 20-franc note (in the days before the euro). <br /> <br />There simply is no other work like this one. It is an exceptionally rare treasure, a masterpiece. <br /> <br />Be sure to read Katherine Woods' translation. Read it privately, when you have time to savor each word. And keep a box of tissues nearby. <br /> <br />18844739975222007-11-11

Little Prince speaks to the child in me

I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. <br /> <br />A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. <br /> <br />I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the Little Prince would ask many questions, but rarely answer the ones he was asked. Like all our inner children he's been hidden inside and kept silent for a long long time, and now that he was given his chance, he will speak. And we better listen, for he is an integral part of our psyche, who will take us through the most unbelievable adventures. 18844739974002007-09-23

This is a wonderful story and a great book I was able to share with my students. The only drawback with the book is that the pages are not in color, but the extremely low price allowed me to purchase the books for my students out of my own pocket.18844739975222007-09-12

The Little Prince

The Little Prince has often been heralded as a youthful book, required reading in elementary and high schools alike. In delivering it this way I think The Little Prince is missed by the only audience that is likely to truly appreciate it, that is adults. It is not an uncommon misconception that this is a children's book. Indeed, I keep the pictures stored on my computer, and am often asked where they came from. I reply that they are from one of my favourite books, and without fail the response is along the lines of, 'I don't mean to be rude but is that a children's book?'. 'No', I explain, 'it is not'. <br /> <br />The Little Prince is most needed, I think, by adults. It is easy to be caught up in, as De Saint-Exupery describes it, 'matters of consequence' and forget that it is not these matters which bring meaning to life. By pointing out the futility of professions practised endlessly and in isolation of other people, it becomes clear that the Little Prince, with his rose, is the only character with a life of consequence. <br /> <br />This book is beautifully written and translated by Katherine Woods. It speaks volumes through its simple tale, strange though it seems that matters such as these only become clear when they are somewhat removed from reality. Matters such as love, innocence, imagination and priorities. The Little Prince is a gentle and stirring reminder to never forget to see the boa constrictor from the hat.An aviator whose plane is forced down in the Sahara Desert encounters a little man from a small planet who describes his adventures in the universe seeking the secret of what is really important in life.0156012197015216711001560139830812967178015602749611825French11811Instruction11773Foreign Languages21Reference1000Subjects283155Books0439056020http://www.amazon.com/invasi%C3%B3n-Invasion-Animorphs-1/dp/0439056020%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0439056020134594http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5195YN268JL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5195YN268JL._SL160_.jpg160110http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5195YN268JL.jpg475326K.

Whoa, this author really knows how to write

Ten years ago while these books were being written, I was focusing on reading horror novels like Stephen King's Desperation. I saw a few Animorphs books lying around one day and thought to myself "Oh, how cute. Someone at our high school reads children's books." Then last Saturday I had some time to kill and was in the library. I saw the books again and said "Eh, why not." My first reaction was: whoa, this author really knows how to write. This book doesnt have any of the boring scenes that too many adventure story authors don't know how to get rid of. <br /> <br />I realized I needed to go somewhere private to allow the visual imagery of the books to really come at me full-force. So I took out four books, went home, and read them in one sitting. I'm amazed. I've never experienced "can't put it down" before. I've been going back every day I have free time to read more of the books. And even when I'm out doing other things I keep replaying the scenes in my head. I wish I'd picked up these books ten years ago. 04390560204002008-05-11

Got me hooked

My twin brother received this book of the series for our twelth birthday, whilst I received the second. Good gamble on my mother, for I was the one of the set that became hooked on the series. This was a marvelous introduction to a mostly stellar series."The Invasion" introduces five kids from various walks of life who may or may not be close to each other. An incident near the mall involving a UFO thrusts the kids into a done-but-still-fun adventure as they are given the ability to change into animals and fight body-snatching aliens. Good ol' fashioned sci-fi fun with a pleasant tween, modern twist. These early books had the best writing of the series, and K. A. Applegate carefully put in her original characters to mold them into the more developed characters they would become. "The Invasion" was the perfect introduction, with relationships, heartache, and good ol' alien slaughtering.04390560205002006-09-25

Excellent story

Five kids meet a good alien. He fights against bad aliens to save the Earth. And he gives them a special power to fight against invaders. The power can change them into animals. But does this power help them to fight against bad invaders? <br />I finished to read Animorphs book 1. This is a very fun book. It is no wonder that many my friends like this series. I almost couldn't stop reading it. But this book is little fat for one day reading for me. This book has 34,028 words. I took three days for finishing it. <br />This series has 54 books and the whole story had completed. The average word counts is about 30,000 words. This means you must read about 1.5 million words for complete this series. And some of my friends already completed it. Now I can see why they could continue to read this series. If you finished one book then you can not wait next.04390560205112006-04-21

very good book

Animorphs #1 the Invasion is a really, really great book. Now i'm reading all of the other books in the series. I'm on the third book,"The Encounter". Or at least I think that is what it is called. I even watch the show. I read this book about a year or two ago. Anyway, if you don't own this book, buy it and read it. If you do have this book and you haven't read it yet, then what are you waiting for? Start reading it right now. This is in my top 5 favorite books.04390560205332006-04-08

Excellent series

Note: This review pertains to the entire Animorphs series, rather than this specific book. <br /> <br />When I read most of the Animorph books several years ago, I thought it was very suspenseful and entertaining. <br /> <br />Now, as I look back, it seems that these books, although targeted at 4th-6th graders, have suprising depth, with often tenebrous themes concerning free will, sentimentalism, and morality. We can't tell you who we are. Or where we live. It's too risky, and we've got to be careful. Really careful. So we don't trust anyone. Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you. There's a massive outdoor concert coming to town. Offspring. Alanis. Nine Inch Nails. Marco refuses to miss it. He even has a great idea for getting in, uh, free: He and Jake will morph dogs. Marco thinks it's a perfect set up (especially since girls LOVE cute dogs). And even though Jake doesn't agree at first, he finally decides that if Marco goes to the show someone should be around to watch him. Right?05906297860590629794059062980805906298160590629824310127011General310124011Ciencia Ficción301754Ciencia ficción y fantasía301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712479011General AAS310124011Ciencia Ficción301754Ciencia ficción y fantasía301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712542011General AAS3017394 a 8 años301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books308194011Series3017409 a 12 años301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712543011General AAS3017409 a 12 años301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books301737No ficción301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books301736General301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712614011General AAS308457011Gente y Lugares301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books308454011Ciencia Ficción, Fantasía y Magia308450011Ciencia Ficción, Fantasía, Misterio y Horror308433011Literatura301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712635011General AAS308450011Ciencia Ficción, Fantasía, Misterio y Horror308433011Literatura301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712634011General AAS308433011Literatura301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712641011General AAS308559011TV308541011Personajes Populares301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712637011General AAS308541011Personajes Populares301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books308667011Ciencia Ficción308639011Series301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712648011General AAS308639011Series301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712541011General AAS301735Infantil y juvenil301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712662011General AAS301747Literatura y ficción301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712406011General AAS301731Libros en español504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books3017Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Magic3013Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery & Horror2966Literature4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books69810Spanish69802Multilingual3020People & Places4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books16260421Spanish16260301Foreign Language Fiction17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books16282General16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books713749011General AAS16272Science Fiction25Science Fiction & Fantasy1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books673423011Ages 9-12673420011Age Range (age_range)388186011Refinements283155Books061328500Xhttp://www.amazon.com/Night-Gorilla-Picture-Puffin-Prebound/dp/061328500X%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D061328500X463732http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D37GFKK9L._SL75_.jpg6175http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D37GFKK9L._SL160_.jpg131160http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D37GFKK9L.jpg388475Peggy RathmannSchool & Library Binding978061328500120061328500XTopeka BinderyEnglishEnglishEnglish8501530USD$15.30Topeka Bindery1Book2001-03Topeka BinderyBaby-PreschoolTopeka Bindery507001273USD$12.731143USD
