1959'un 1 numaralı en çok satan filmi, Siyonist hareketin tarihi ve günümüz İsrail'in kuruluşu hakkında uzun bir kitaptı. Herman Wouk'un, Exodus'un bitmesinden kısa bir süre sonra 1958'de hikayesini ele alan ve 1967'deki Altı Gün Savaşı boyunca anlatan romanı The Hope'u daha önce okumuştum. Wouk, okuyucuya 1950'lerin Amerikan hükümetinin çatışma hakkındaki görüşlerini sunuyor. Amos Oz'un 40'lı ve 50'li yıllarda Kudüs'te büyümesini anlattığı Aşk ve Karanlık Masalı'nı da okudum. Üçünü de okumanın sonucu İsrail'in karmaşıklıklarını görebilmeye başlamayı içeriyor. Haklı olarak "çatışma" olarak adlandırılan şeyin tüm sonuçlarını anladığımı söyleyemem. Bana göre, Büyük Britanya'nın hem Yahudilerle hem de Araplarla uğraşmaya gelince, II. Dünya Savaşı'ndan önce hain davrandığı görülüyor. Exodus'ta, İngilizler gerçekten çok kötü bir şekilde ortaya çıkıyorlar ve her iki tarafı oynamakla suçlanıyorlar, Arapları herhangi bir çözünürlüğün zamanın sonuna kadar olası görünmeyeceği bir noktaya ateşliyorlar. Leon Uris bir yazar değil. Karakterleri, özellikle kadınlar, krep kadar düzdür. Çizim becerileri açıkça araştırdığı tarihe bağlıdır. Çok fazla çatışma ve savaşın yanı sıra zeki strateji ile silah ve mühimmat eksikliğinin üstesinden gelmenin sonsuz hesaplarıyla, zaten aşırı uzun bir kitaba iyi bir 100 sayfa ekleyin. Bununla birlikte, parlak bir şekilde ilettiği şey, Holokost'un sonuna kadar bu dünyadaki herhangi bir insan grubu kadar dayak, ezilen ve üstesinden gelen bir insanı hayata döndürmeyi amaçlayan umut ve güçtür.

Translating...

This was a great book. I absolutely can't wait for the third and final book to come out. This story has kept me completely engaged from the start. I can not wait to see how the author finishes it.

Very soft, rreflective meditation type comments on life. I learned some new facts about nature and enjoyd her discription of camping or rafting trips that she and her family had taken over the years. Very inspirational. A reminder to slow down and observe.

I heard about After because it won the BCALA (Black Caucus of the American Library Association) award for best novel of 2006. The story is about a police officer who shoots an unarmed man in the course of a traffic stop. Whenever I read about events of this type in the paper, I'm always appalled, but I never took the time to think about how all the different people involved in an event of this kind might feel. That's what this book examines. It's well written and thought-provoking, and it reaffirmed my belief that there are just way too many guns floating around in this country!

Fun, light behind-the-scenes reading before bed if you liked the series.

Listened to this on the drive from Michigan to Oregon.

Not a bad book. A lot like shopaholics, just a different character that is not as dumb with her decisions, as the other character.

After reading "Miss Pym Disposes", this was a bit of a disappointment, but understandably so, since this is her first book. I'm already seeing a pattern of 'appearances are not all they seem' and 'I'll bet you didn't see that coming' in her books, and I can see where I'll enjoy reading further. One thing I especially enjoy is Ms. Tey's use of language. I'm delighted by her descriptions of places and of people, her gentle wit and building up to a theory. In this book, she did many things right, and I think that she might have read a few of Agatha Christie's books, although there were only 5 or 6 published at the time (and certainly not her best). Tey set out to do something different, and she did. The Golden Age of British Mystery was in full swing, and the Ten Commandments of writing them was codified in 1929, the year that this book was published. Today, The Man in the Queue probably wouldn't be printed without extensive editing, particularly regarding the confusing use of the first person narrator willy nilly in the middle of things. The word 'dago' has already been replaced in several newer editions with 'Levantine', which is not an accurate substitution. Few know or care that Agatha Christies immortal play was originally called 'Ten Little Niggers' because it was edited so long ago. But I digress. For a truly excellent review of this book, see Kim's. It has several likes and comments, and deservedly so. Much better than I could write.
