Great Translation and Commentary
This translation of "Fünf Ringe" is the best I have seen in German or English. The depth of Musashi's words is supplemented nicely by the beauty of the language. The commentary is second to none, rivalling that of Tokitsu Kenji in his biography "Miyamoto Musashi: His Life and Writings", which you should also read. This book is perfect for any German-speaking enthusiast of Kampfkünste.

Makes me want to be good... or at least better
Nick Hornby is quickly becoming my favorite author. I loved "A Long Way Down" and "About a Boy." I don't know which is my favorite, but "How to Be Good" is every bit as good as the others. It's painful in its accuracy of the internal conflict every person faces when debating living comfortably vs. helping those in need. One can't help but identify with the seriously flawed narrator, while ...

German Version of "The Power that Preserves"
This is the excellent German translation of "The Power that Preserves", which is book 3 in the first "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever". The original German first edition was translated from English and published by Heyne Verlag, while this subsequent printing was put out by Droemer-Knauer (the competitors Heyne and Knauer basically produce pretty much all of the available science ...

A Very Good Novel in German
I couldn't believe I found this on Amazon. I loved this novel in English, and in German it is every bit as great a delight. I found it odd that the Deutsch version was actually translated from the English version. This book has a very good plot and convincing characters. Interestingly, it was not so martial arts centered as I had expected (I guess I am citing the English version at this point). I ...

Might be enjoyable, if it were in english
I recently purchased this for my wife, only to find out when I received it, that it was in german. The description mentioned nothing about this. The only clue you have is the german publisher. Just a warning for any other Maeve Binchy fans who dont speak german

just finished it in german and have to get it in english too
I got this book for christmas and just finished it, the last pages were very suspensful and I just couldn't stop reading. Some things are described in a too childish way, but that is only peripheral things, the story is cool and suprisingly I really liked it. Good book! PS: Lot of spelling mistakes I also noticed, very disturbing at first!

fun and different
I LOVED Ralph's Party. It was the story of the lives of people living on the 1st, 2nd, and basement level of an apartment building in London and how their lives were intertwined. In the basement were Ralph, the starving artist and womanizer, and Smith, the together businessman with a 5 year lust for the girl on the 2nd floor, Cheri. Cheri is a dancer who loves to get attention from men, and ...

One of the most beautiful books I have ever read
This book was recommended to me by a friend who also happens to be an English professor. I won't go into the story line as others have done so here already. Suffice it to say that it is a beautifully crafted book about love and the human spirit. Don't miss it!

About two boys
Nick Hornby is perhaps the premier writer of lad-lit, the male counterpart of chick-lit. And "About A Boy" is one of his best novels, with its sensitive looks not only at male fears, but at how they relate to women and children. It's a far smarter, wittier book than you'd think. Will is a single thirtysomething, self-absorbed and consumed with his own coolness, unattachedness and ability ...

A tragic clash between two well different worlds!
From the first shots, we will witness the visible passion aroused just for simple glimpse that will arise a true flaming love. A mature Swiss woman will fall in love with a warrior or a tribe and following her heart's call she will follow his traces until they decide to live together. But as you and I expect, the initial attraction will not be quite enough to carve in relief, the abysmal ...

Pretentious nonsense
I got hold of a translated edition of this book. The reviews on the back cover were almost hagiographic, and all I can say, having read it, is that the author must have a lot of good friends who are German and Austrian newspaper book reviewers. I am a sucker for books set in imaginary cities, and have spent many happy hours in Virconium, New Crobuzon, and Hav. Actually, Klein's Libidissi has so ...

German Edition
I read this book about 10 years ago and loved it. Found it on Amazon US site and ordered a copy. Have just picked it up only to find it's in German. The seller did not state that he was selling a German edition so I have a book I cannot read. Shame as I was looking forward to a good read.

German Version of Reliquary
This is a English translation of the German version of 'Reliquary'. Great read all the same, just letting those out there that were wondering if these were new books.
