The Lion in Winter with Headphones (Playaway Adult Fiction)

9 reviews
James Goldman

Playaway, 2008

The Modern Middle Ages
This play about the famously disfunctional family of England's Henry II is perhaps the most devestating family drama this side of "Long Day's Journey into Night". For those who want a real epic, it can - but doesn't have to - be read as a sequel to Jean Anoilh's "Becket". Personally I found that this adds to the tragedy. It opens during a fictional family Christmas get together that is combined ...

A fantastic implementation of Tokakure Ryu for the modern day
I have not finished this book, you should know. However, you should also know that this book made enough of an impression of me that I am writing a review before I have finished in violation of my own rules. I am an author myself and I value these reviews greatly - I wouldn't write if I didn't mean what I say. This is a great book. In short, it takes the premises - as best we know - of ...

Cosmos Latinos: An Anthology of Science Fiction from Latin America and Spain (Early Classics of Science ...

4 reviews

Wesleyan, 2003

An Important Glimpse at Hispanic Science Fiction
"Cosmos Latinos" is a long overdue, excellent survey of the history of science fiction writing in Spain and Latin America, including Brazil. The authors have done an admirable job compiling a chronological history by selecting some of the most important stories written during the period from 1862 to 2001. This is an invaluable look at science fiction as seen through the eyes of a culture other ...

Antonio Munoz Molina

Planeta, 2005

The Best Spanish Writer of Spanish?
Antonio Munoz Molina is a journalist and novelist who has come of age along with his homeland. Born in the Andalucian town of Ubeda in 1956 he was twenty years old when Franco died and Spain began its transition from the last fascist state in western Europe to the modern democracy it is today. El Jinete Polaco is his masterwork (so far - he is still only 44) and weaves a partially ...

Art of Thread Crochet Bears

Edith Molina

Lulu.com, 2005

beautiful teddy bears
M's Molina has put together a fantastic book on the art of thread crochet bears. I don't even work with thread that much, but this book has me reconsidering that philosophy. The panda bear is just calling to me to be crocheted, as well as the polar bear. M's Molina's instructions are clear and concise. The patterns get progressively more difficult, but you can stick to the "easy ones" and still ...

One More Bridge to Cross: Lowering the Cost of War

H. John Poole

Posterity Press (NC), 2003

Military Sense in the 21st Century
As much as anything, this is a "how to" manual for warriors in the 21st Century. While some things have changed since this book was written in 1999, it is my contention that these much needed changes in ground force organization, training, and tactics were influenced greatly by this book and John Poole's recommendations. There is still a lot more to be learned from the thoughts and ideas this ...

In Her Absence

Antonio Munoz Molina

Other Press, 2007

Makes You Think
I found this book very good and thought provoking. This is written from the perspective of the husband who is the one who loves more in the unbalanced relationship. In the end, I wasn't sure what was real and what was not. I felt it was written intentionally to make you think and wonder and draw your own conclusion. I can imagine two people reading this and describing the story differently. ...

Much more than a simple anti-militarist book
Every one who has ever been to a military camp should read this book in order to not forgetting all the suffering and the bad experience there. The books talks about all these things that you think you have already forgotten,but they are still inside you. Unfortunately, thousands of guys in Spain have the terrible duty of serving their country as a soldier, while their life is broken for about ...

Arte Publico Press, 1996

Rick Najera--the pioneer of latino comedy
Latin's Anonymous, a collaborative project, was the beginning of Rick Najera's playwriting career culminating with THE PAIN OF THE MACHO, his most most recent book. In this are signs of the making of a genius in years to come-- from his Mexican-American-split-personality character to SEPERATE TURF, a sketch on the plight of Puerto Rican and Chicano actors vying for small roles. Rick Najera ...

Antonio Muñoz Molina, Philippe Bataillon

Seuil, 2002

Very funny send up of US academic fads, brilliant and breezy writing
I enjoyed this so much, if it turns up in your recommendations because of other Munoz Molina or Millas books, or any of those fantastic Spanish writers, don't miss it. It has lots of funny US-through-amused-foreign-eyes parts and a sort of integrated send-up of American college humanities pseudointellectualism, very well done.

Bertolt Brecht: Poetry and Prose (German Library)

1 review
Reinhold Grimm, Caroline Molina Y Vedia

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2004

A classic anthology of literature, charged with emotion
Bertolt Brecht: Poetry And Prose is an anthology primarily of poetry, but also offering the prose works "Socrates Wounded" and "The Unseemly Old Lady" by Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956), which reveals his skill in the free-verse that he calls "rhymeless lyrics with irregular rhythm." The poetry is presented both in its original German and English translation. A classic anthology of literature, charged ...

Condenado Por Desconfiado (Pergamon Oxford Spanish)

1 review
Tirso De Molina

Elsevier, 1973

a good Catholic allegoric melodrama
El Condenado por desconfiado was originally attributed to Tirso de Molina, to whom the very first version of Don Juan was also accredited, which is interesting because I could not imagine two more disparate plays than these two. While Don Juan starts the fashion of Satanic men in the world literature, Condenado is the Catholic play par excellence, a baroque version of a Christian allegory about ...

Dictatorship and Development: The Methods of Control in Trujillo's Dominican Republic

1 review
Howard J. Wiarda

Univ Pr of Florida, 1968

Very well done!
As with most of Wiarda's works, I found this book to be particularly insightful. I have read well over 200 books on the subject and found this one to be of particular interst. It details each stage of the Trujillo regime ending with its final demise. He charactarises the dictatorship as one which developes from traditional caudillo style into a totalitarian regime (or as near to one as ...

Coaching Football's 3-3-5 Defense

1 review
Leo Hand, Rick Molina

Coaches Choice Books, 2004

THE DEFENSE THAT IS SWEEPING THE NATION!
"The 3-3-5 Defense" is by far the best book that Leo Hand has written. It covers player assignments, techniques, drills, coaching terminology, and lots of diagrams, It is easy to read and well written. His football terminology maybe a little too much for a new coach, however, all you have to do is look at the diagrams and you will see what he is talking about. A must buy book for any football ...

Larry Evers, Felipe S. Molina

University of Arizona Press, 1987

exquisite poetry in Yaqui and English
The lyrics of the Yaqui Deer Songs are magical, moving poetry both in English translations and in the liquid sounds of the Yaqui originals. This book gives a sense of the true flavor of Yaqui culture and spirituality.

A great story
First of all i speak spanish, so i'll try my best. It's a really good book i enjoyed reading it. The whole time you think you are looking for something, then you discover it, and you have some pages left. Then you read those pages and realize that the main story was different. Antonio Muñoz molina is a great writer, i strongly recommend him. Read "El Jinete Polaco" one of my favorite books.
