Last month I finished reading a strange book about my tastes, which was about plants. My need to read something about plants for the first time started from the care and observation of two plants that were offered to me as gifts in the last year and a half. The choice of the book by me was random.  I had never heard of this before. However, a relevant documentary from 1979, based on the music of Stevie Wonder, was based on this book. A) The premise of the book: The book summarizes the views of some people on how plants feel in the world, based on the experiments of various researchers, which are described. The book also refers to ecological agriculture. B) The advantages of the book: The truth is that I am not an expert on plants, so I can not judge this book with confidence. I may be wrong but only a few things have satisfied me in this book. Some views on how plants feel the world were interesting, although I felt they were closer to the level of metaphysics than physics. ...

Yesterday I finished reading another literary book by a Nobel Prize-winning author and in particular Olga Tokarczuk from Poland, who won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature. I could say that this book traveled me pleasantly in older times in northeast Europe, even though many of those times were really bloody periods of Europea n history. The adverb “pleasantly” I used above is due to Olga Tokartsuk's linguistic ability to describe times and events in a calm lyric way. This lyricism softens the description of even the saddest times. So, the theme of this book, is following the story of a Polish village called "Primeval" during the period from the beginning of World War I to the end of the 20th century. This observation takes place through the telling of small stories, characteristic of each of the characters who become the protagonists of the book, who are not other than the inhabitants of the Primeval. The main figures of the literary work, around which the narrative rev...

This book was written by the Austrian writer recently honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature 2019. It consists of 17 small chapters, in each of which Handke describes in detail something that drew his attention during each of his travels to various countries. A) Its Benefits: First of all it is a book with originality in writing, value that is probably required to win the Nobel Prize. The author is inspired by some utterly insignificant image for the average traveler, observer, reader or writer and focuses on such a detailed description of it that makes it the center of the world. This may be the image of a man in Patras begging his parrot to return to his cage, the trunks of an honey tree in the center of the Munich, a fireball in a man's hand, or a butterfly's flying. Clearly, the author's speech is particularly artful and noteworthy for critics of literature and readers deeply indebted to it. B) Its Disadvantages: I don't know if it could really be described...

"Bandawi"  was written by Syrian oil chemist and internationally renowned businessman Mohed Altrad and has autobiographical details. I read it with pleasure and I found it very moving. It describes the struggle of a little Bedouin from the Syrian desert, who lost his mother early and never accepted the love of his grandmother, father and other relatives, to come out victorious in life. From his early childhood he realized that the only way to succeed was school. Despite the lack of understanding and the disagreements of his relative, who were targeting him as a shepherd, the young Bedouin went to the local elementary school and later to a high school in Raka, where he took the final exams and thus obtained a scholarship to study Oil Chemistry in France… So school and hard work helped the little Bedouin rise socially. His militancy and willingness to win were wonderful and worthy of an example of admiration and imitation. But the whole novel is not just about describing the sc...

A) Synopsis of the story: The story begins by describing some events of the last day o f the life of 37-year-old French doctor, René Med, before he committed suicide in his villa the same night. The narrator, describing moments of this doctor's day, remembers how he met him and his beautiful friend, the budding actress Yvonne Zacket, who was meant to become his great lover of that summer. The author's summer relationship with Yvonne is literally portrayed as a beautiful dream.

This book is likely to be loved by more than average readers. C) The Disadvantages of the Book: Someone who...

“The colorless” was written by the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, who was proposed for the Literature Nobel Prize in the past. This is not his first book that I have ever read. a) Summary of the story: A 19 year old Japanese man, student of civil engineering in Tokyo, is total ly depressed after his four best friends decide mysteriously to keep him away from their lives from now on. Finally he manages to survive from the extremely deep depression but the wound in his soul never leaves. When he becomes 36, his current girlfriend, Sarah, makes him try to find out that important truth of his past, so as he to be free to continue his life without the heavy weigh in his soul that was caused by the abandonment. a) Its advantages according my opinion: Its plot is interesting. It makes the reader want to find out the truths that will be revealed as he goes on reading. Generally it is a story that bases its interest on the plot and not in detailed, lyric descriptions. b) Its disadva...
