Když se to čte primárně jako odraz společnosti a doby, tak se mi to zamlouvá víc. Fikce je tam samozřejmě dost, ale není vlastně tak podstatná. Některé motivy jsem viděla zpracované lépe ve Sněhu, jiné v Malém bratrovi. Alif je co do fantaskna a v něm obsažených myšlenek takový - povrchnější, ned...
Many memoirs are simply travel logs (often interesting) of a life but her story is only the vessel used for an exploration of spirituality, ritual, culture, identity, and the terrifying "other."

البته با کمی ارفاق 4 امتیاز دادم.کمی افکار نویسنده برایم نا ملموس بود که شاید به دلیل دوری فرهنگ هاست. در طول کتاب آرزو می کردم کاش کمی راجع به مصر اطلاعات داشتم تا بهتر حرف های نویسنده را می فهمیدم.دیدار نویسنده از ایران برایم جالب بود. البته شاید کمی با ایرانی که من می شناسم تفاوت داشت. بالاخره...

Wilson delivers a good script, that has me thinking about the origin of Spider-Man, which is praise indeed, as that is just about as good as it gets for giving an explanation as to why someone would gain supe...
It's official, I'm following a comic series.I usually only read comics after they've been out for a minute, or at least they have some trades out (ten comic books bound together with a cardboard cover). But I'd heard a lot about these comics and I just couldn't wait! Ms. Marvel is Kamala Khan a P...
