Written with an unprecedented realism that challenged the romanticism of previous maritime literature, Dana’s narrative vividly portrays the daily routines and hardships of life at sea, the capriciousness and brutality of merchant ship captains and officers, and the beauty and danger of the southern oceans in winter. Two Years Before the Mast (1840) is the classic account of his voyages around Cape Horn and time ashore in California in the decade before the Gold Rush. Suffering from persistent weakness in his eyes, Dana left Harvard at age 19 and sailed from Boston in 1834 as a common seaman. This volume collects three sea-going travel narratives by Richard Henry Dana, Jr., that span 25 years of maritime history, from the age of sail to the age of steam.

This title is out of stock and a reprint has not yet been scheduled. But there was practically no sensible critique of the philosophical doctrines of Karl Marx. The most orthodox Marxians tried to revive and restate his doctrines. And later in the 1890s, when the last volume of Das Kapital was published, there appeared the second part of this critique, which completely killed Marx’s economic doctrines. After his death, there appeared the first part of Böhm-Bawerk’s critique of the economic doctrines of Karl Marx. People neither approved, nor criticized, his teachings. Marx, on the other hand, was more or less unknown. Lassalle’s agitations lasted only a year because he was killed in duel as a result of a private affair, but he was considered a great man in his age. The great socialists of his age were other men-for instance, Ferdinand Lassalle. Karl Marx was not very well known in his lifetime and his writings remained practically unknown to the greater part of his contemporaries. It is an astonishing fact that a philosophy like Marxism, which attacks the whole social system, remained for many decades more or less unattacked and uncontested. With that in mind, readers must not expect the exact land-grabbing action which actually occurred during the illegal annexation of the Crimea.

On the contrary, Nimoy explains in this book that Spock has always been a part of him. In reality, his feelings toward Spock had not changed at all in the intervening years.

In his second autobiography, Nimoy explains that the title of the first book had been his idea, over the objections of his publishers. Negative fan reaction to the title gave Nimoy the idea for the title of the second volume. At that time, Nimoy had sought to distance his own personality from that of the character of Spock, although he nonetheless remained proud of his time on the show. The book's title was a reference to the first volume of his autobiography, I Am Not Spock, which had been published in 1975. The book was published in 1995, four years after the release of the last Star Trek motion picture starring the entire original cast, and covers the majority of Nimoy's time with Star Trek in general and Mr. I Am Spock is the second volume of actor and director Leonard Nimoy's autobiography. Readers will learn that we are, quite literally supernatural by nature if given the proper knowledge and instruction, and when we learn how to apply that information through various meditations, we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities that we have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly coherent streams of consciousness and energy that we can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profoundly mystical transcendental experiences and how, if we do this enough times, we can develop the skill of creating a more efficient, balanced, healthy body, a more unlimited mind, and greater access to the realms of spiritual truth.

Theodore Sturgeons More Than Human is one of the strangest and, at the same time, most fascinating novels (or group of three connected novellas) that you. More Than Human is a 1953 science fiction novel by Theodore Sturgeon. The opening scene, for example, takes place on a heavily jammed Toyko highway overpass in the late afternoon, and we watch as our first main character, Aomame, gets out of a cab - in the middle of the traffic jam - and climbs down a utility staircase on the side of the highway. He has a way of tapping into the weirdness of every day life, and staying with it, giving the reader just enough information to be intrigued, but not enough so you can see where the story is headed. Why?įirst of all, it's something about "mood." From the very opening pages of the book, Murakami creates an eerie feel. And yet.I read a novel at least as long as those by a 21st century Japanese writer whose novels - 10 years ago - I could barely stand. I haven't even read War and Peace or The Count of Monte Cristo because the sheer volume (the sheer weight) of those books makes my spine shiver. It's just really difficult to get a handle on why I enjoyed this bizarre novel enough to stay with it for the hours and hours it took to finish it. I feel like a 1200 page novel deserves a better review than what I gave it in my last entry. Sorry, but I have to come back to 1Q84 for moment. |
