Great Book
This book was great, lots of pictures of people and places my family and I know and knew. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enought, lol but then I don't think it would have been no matter how long it was.

Hedda Gabler

Henrik Ibsen

Echo Library, 2006

Excellent play !
How can this be described as a boring play?! Hedda shoots herself in the end, which is very dramatic. The play abounds in black comedy. It is a funny play too, as when Hedda insults Aunt JuJu (what a silly name!) by pretending that JuJu's hat is the maid's, and saying that the hat is old and ugly. Most simple-minded readers see Hedda as being callous and cruel, because on the surface Tesman and ...

Life Among the Eskimos
I read this wonderful, warm and informative book by Fridtjof Mansen in the late 1950's. I found the book ESKIMO LIFE just by happinstance while browsing in a public library in Indiana. When I pulled it from the stack, I realized that I knew next to nothing about the eskimo people and their cultures. Thumbing throught this tome intrigued me and it was obivious that Nansen's years of living ...

A Doll's House

Players Press, 1993

somaia n. A Doll's House
A Doll's House is an outstanding play that brings up many topics into question, topics such as gender roles, love in marriage, and self fulfillment vs. family duties and responsibility. I think that Nora's and Torvald's characters are excellently drawn out to show the extremes of what could go wrong in a seemingly normal and happy home in 19th century Europe. Gender roles, even though they have ...

Sammlung Goetz, 2001

a credible book to credit great artwork
I found this book ot be an excellent asset to my collection of modern british art. I thought that the large amount of content was covered thouroghly, but not drawn out to get stale(just like the artwork itself, discussed). This is a very important book because it recaps all of what is happening with the yBa movement in the artworld. This book is for anyone who wants to be on top of the world ...

Hazlitt on Theatre: Selections from the View of the English Stage and Criticisms and Dramatic Essays

William Hazlitt, William Archer

Hyperion Pr, 1980

quality writing on theatre, acting, and Shakespeare
Hazlitt's an early 19th century (Regency) writer and theatre critic. This book collects his reviews and descriptions of the top actors of his day (Kean, Kemble, Siddons, ...) in Shakespearean and other roles. Frankly, he doesn't go into as much detail as I'd like, but what details he gives us of these classic performances, while not revolutionary are fun to envision, and give us an idea of the ...

Ghosts

Henrik Ibsen

Echo Library, 2006

Seemingly simple, but complex study
I chose this book to read and analyse a couple of years ago. It seemed to have simple meaning, but the more I tried to analyse, the more outstanding I found the book, and far from simple. Helen Alving is a widow and is keeping a secret. One day she tells her friend Manders and he's quite shocked. It all has to do with some money from her dead husband that she doesn't want her son to have. Oswald, ...

Geoffrey Archer

Arrow Books Ltd, 1998

Superb Read!
I loved almost every story in this collection, with the exception of John Grisham's "The Birthday". I especially liked "The Divorce," by Grif Stockley, "The Jailhouse Lawyer," by Phillip Margolin, and "Stairwell Justice," by Jay Brandon. I will definitely be buying books by the above-mentioned authors...writers that I would have never considered reading before I read their stories in "Legal ...

Finally a book that addresses telephone security
I am a senior engineer for network security operations. I read "Voice and Data Security" (VaDS) to learn more about vulnerabilities in the voice world. A search for "voice security" here yields four results, of which VaDS is the only in-print title. Although I would have preferred VaDS to focus solely on voice security issues, I still recommend it as the only modern published reference for ...

The Master Builder (Dodo Press)

Henrik Ibsen

Dodo Press, 2005

"One day the younger generation will come knocking at my door."
Written in 1892, when Ibsen was a mature playwright, this tension-filled play focuses on an older man's fear that he will be replaced by the younger generation before he has been able to reconcile his professional successes with his personal sacrifices. Halvard Solness is a Master Builder who once built churches and towers but who now builds only houses. Arrogant, manipulative, and often ...

Arcadia Publishing, 2006

From a Princeton Native
I grew up in Princeton and was excited when I saw this book was going to be released. However, I am disappointed in the pictures. It seems to have too much focus on the railroad and random people throughout time who are not familiar to me. I would have thought the book would contain pictures of downtown. I can't even find a picture of Princeton Junior High School when it burned, which I ...
