</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Stranded in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before she really goes under.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">A decade ago she put a face on every mother's worst nightmare with her phenomenal best-seller The Good Mother. Now, Sue Miller delivers a spellbinding novel of love and betrayal that explores what it means to be a good wife.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In the summer of 1968, Jo Becker ran out on the marriage and the life her parents wanted for her, and escaped--for one beautiful, idyllic year--into a life that was bohemian and romantic, living under an assumed name in a rambling group house in Cambridge. It was a time of limitless possibility, but it ended in a single instant when Jo returned home one night to find her best friend lying dead in a pool of blood on the living room floor. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Now Jo has everything she's ever wanted: a veterinary practice she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful Massachusetts farmhouse. And if occasionally she feels a stranger to herself and wonders what happened to the freedom she once felt, or how she came to be the wife, mother, and doctor her neighbors know and trust--if at times she feels as if her whole life is vanishing behind her as she's living it--she need only look at her daughters or her husband, Daniel, to recall the satisfactions of family and community and marriage.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">But when an old housemate settles in her small town, the fabric of Jo's life begins to unravel: seduced again by the enticing possibility of another self and another life, she begins a dangerous flirtation that returns her to the darkest moment of her past and imperils all she loves.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While I Was Gone is an exquisitely suspenseful novel about how quickly and casually a marriage can be destroyed, how a good wife can find herself placing all she holds dear at risk. In expert strokes, Sue Miller captures the precariousness of even the strongest ties, the ease with which we abandon each other, and our need to be forgiven. An extraordinary book, her best, from a beloved American writer.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> In this riveting novel of almost unbearable suspense, three fragile yet determined people become dangerously entangled in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Colonel Behrani, once a wealthy man in Iran, is now a struggling immigrant willing to bet everything he has to restore his family's dignity. Kathy Nicolo is a troubled young woman whose house is all she has left, and who refuses to let her hard-won stability slip away from her. Sheriff Lester Burdon, a married man who finds himself falling in love with Kathy, becomes obsessed with helping her fight for justice.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Irene Beltran, the unconventional daughter of a wealthy family, and Francisco Leal, son of Spanish exiles, are reporter and photographer for a women's magazine in an unnamed Latin American dictatorship. They stumble onto a mass grave where the bodies of people tortured and murdered by the police have been dumped. As their love grows in the shadow of death, Irene and Francisco struggle to bring the men responsible to justice. They win a qualified victory when public outcry and international condemnation, sparked by photographs and tape recordings smuggled out of the country, force the authorities to allow a trial and conviction. But the lovers must flee the continent to avoid reprisals from an enraged government that has no intention of truly altering its policies.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-8277116875023099822011-06-27T23:05:00.000+08:002011-06-27T23:05:38.740+08:00Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Q8Vs090WBxO9P5Us48a54E2PZSPZ8rhmH3U71t9Y6s8Ekz1atzFHzANW72c0msrl8XhpIm8zANToQGHqrf-VPCu_BEFTVR5zeQeDNlnsO4IIqhJ0k6fXBCzcXSMXBB_B2AKeGL6Ly4g/s1600/P1070928+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Q8Vs090WBxO9P5Us48a54E2PZSPZ8rhmH3U71t9Y6s8Ekz1atzFHzANW72c0msrl8XhpIm8zANToQGHqrf-VPCu_BEFTVR5zeQeDNlnsO4IIqhJ0k6fXBCzcXSMXBB_B2AKeGL6Ly4g/s200/P1070928+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="133" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDApsLjhBv4mJ-GurYnVkJH-zDfrRsiguXk2qLOAqd9yrkMkbe-yajCWIvhXlShTXiw4ziyvHUtVdJkcx_ZoQuhHVU1ZHgSNbGjG0g2R-fvejJPwKf0To1E41vS6guDmUsFJjRQOnBpcw/s1600/P1070929+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDApsLjhBv4mJ-GurYnVkJH-zDfrRsiguXk2qLOAqd9yrkMkbe-yajCWIvhXlShTXiw4ziyvHUtVdJkcx_ZoQuhHVU1ZHgSNbGjG0g2R-fvejJPwKf0To1E41vS6guDmUsFJjRQOnBpcw/s200/P1070929+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="133" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>In 1997, Charles Frazier’s debut novel Cold Mountain made publishing history when it sailed to the top of The New York Times best-seller list for sixty-one weeks, won numerous literary awards, including the National Book Award, and went on to sell over three million copies. Now, the beloved American epic returns, reissued by Grove Press to coincide with the publication of Frazier’s eagerly-anticipated second novel, Thirteen Moons. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at Petersburg, a Confederate soldier named Inman decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge mountains to Ada, the woman he loves. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, the intrepid Ada is trying to revive her father’s derelict farm and learning to survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic odyssey, hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving.</div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-987450418955968472011-06-27T23:04:00.000+08:002011-06-27T23:04:19.097+08:00The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel by Barbara Kingsolver<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKeHMSkMfsuhEZEc6muMcBqgGZ7ZmYNbg4oXpNTpMt-2qiDx6CHeXs2-o-fe0B2QnqFwty70ecISYv2FQnGs7P7BuFD6t4iLCc4d_FDYDgJ0a1A-YfB4b5lrC7aF_b-thxd_V_gU5j60/s1600/P1070930+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKeHMSkMfsuhEZEc6muMcBqgGZ7ZmYNbg4oXpNTpMt-2qiDx6CHeXs2-o-fe0B2QnqFwty70ecISYv2FQnGs7P7BuFD6t4iLCc4d_FDYDgJ0a1A-YfB4b5lrC7aF_b-thxd_V_gU5j60/s200/P1070930+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="133" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfw2AHkCDNF3H9HS_c5_YcBBAkrTPfo5vKV6MYDCTvVO96_TcjuHoBy7_Q7BH3jps1Y8I0MIBDQzuRZE4Bhr3K7TrTNR-BsB4yfCRpKdidboMNrW59G2EEDk7X2HJ0evN2bzcc0J6QhU/s1600/P1070931+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfw2AHkCDNF3H9HS_c5_YcBBAkrTPfo5vKV6MYDCTvVO96_TcjuHoBy7_Q7BH3jps1Y8I0MIBDQzuRZE4Bhr3K7TrTNR-BsB4yfCRpKdidboMNrW59G2EEDk7X2HJ0evN2bzcc0J6QhU/s200/P1070931+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="133" /></a></div><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">No writer captures the seasons of our lives better than Judy Blume. Now, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wifey and Smart Women, comes an extraordinary novel of reminiscence and awakening--an unforgettable story of two women, two families, and the friendships that shape a lifetime.</span></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">When Victoria Leonard answers the phone in her Manhattan office, Caitlin's voice catches her by surprise. Vix hasn't talked to her oldest friend in months. Caitlin's news takes her breath away--and Vix is transported back in time, back to the moment she and Caitlin Somers first met, back to the casual betrayals and whispered confessions of their long, complicated friendship, back to the magical island where two friends became summer sisters.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Caitlin dazzled Vix from the start, sweeping her into the heart of the unruly Somers family, into a world of privilege, adventure, and sexual daring. Vix's bond with her summer family forever reshapes her ties to her own, opening doors to opportunities she had never imagined--until the summer she falls passionately in love. Then, in one shattering moment on a moonswept Vineyard beach, everything changes, exposing a dark undercurrent in her extraordinary friendship with Caitlin that will haunt them through the years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As their story carries us from Santa Fe to Martha's Vineyard, from New York to Venice, we come to know the men and women who shape their lives. And as we follow the two women on the paths they each choose, we wait for the inevitable reckoning to be made in the fine spaces between friendship and betrayal, between love and freedom.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The town of Lansquenet, solemnly preparing for Lent, is set astir when Vianne Rocher and her spirited daughter arrive on the heels of the carnival and open a chocolate shop across the square from the church. Vianne's uncanny ability to perceive her customers' private discontents and alleviate them with just the right chocolate treats quickly charms the villagers--and enrages Pere Reynaud, the conservative local priest. Certain that only a witch could create such magical cures, Reynaud vows to block the chocolate festival Vianne plans for Easter Sunday and to run her out of town forever. Witch or not (she'll never tell), Vianne soon sparks a dramatic confrontation between those who prefer the cold comforts of the church and those who revel in their newly discovered taste for pleasure.<br /></span></div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-67531869895601840392011-05-30T15:16:00.003+08:002011-06-27T22:16:02.182+08:00The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EEdYmwRSGylagVx0_q-poSh5bKmFOF756UK-6z7aW9z7GonQRS0w-jy5m-MyxHCiPPgVvK6EqhYIf75DiI9z6unTgfA2PZAQTdBBPeAOiHEGU9CO-wVNuBjuT-pw5bxy0RDPSkjjwRA/s1600/P1070557+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612421160300596034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EEdYmwRSGylagVx0_q-poSh5bKmFOF756UK-6z7aW9z7GonQRS0w-jy5m-MyxHCiPPgVvK6EqhYIf75DiI9z6unTgfA2PZAQTdBBPeAOiHEGU9CO-wVNuBjuT-pw5bxy0RDPSkjjwRA/s200/P1070557+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 200px; width: 133px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiTfoDTcASTdgmR3bevfrEqpByhQNR4bRnF9nNUd067tVUMKrXxg0CF0v0ko4lo-xE7VXUK0tOAJ2Ov-Ris91Y3Eo7RmRUrXTCTuLeouQgJ5YDJsBtJUZ5SA3VDTyjgGVFLkbqKR0NUio/s1600/P1070558+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612421166527257922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiTfoDTcASTdgmR3bevfrEqpByhQNR4bRnF9nNUd067tVUMKrXxg0CF0v0ko4lo-xE7VXUK0tOAJ2Ov-Ris91Y3Eo7RmRUrXTCTuLeouQgJ5YDJsBtJUZ5SA3VDTyjgGVFLkbqKR0NUio/s200/P1070558+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 200px; width: 133px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Oprah Book Club- Selection, March 1999: With five novels to her credit, including the acclaimed The Weight of Water, Anita Shreve now offers a skillfully crafted exploration of the long reach of tragedy in The Pilot's Wife. News of Jack Lyons's fatal crash sends his wife into shock and emotional numbness: Kathryn wished she could manage a coma. Instead, it seemed that quite the opposite had happened: She felt herself to be inside of a private weather system, one in which she was continuously tossed and buffeted by bits of news and information, sometimes chilled by thoughts of what lay immediately ahead, thawed by the kindness of others ... frequently drenched by memories that seemed to have no regard for circumstance or place, and then subjected to the nearly intolerable heat of reporters, photographers and curious on-lookers. It was a weather system with no logic, she had decided, no pattern, no progression, no form.The situation becomes even more dire when the plane's black box is recovered, pinning responsibility for the crash on Jack. In an attempt to clear his name, Kathryn searches for any and all clues to the hours before the flight. Yet each discovery forces her to realize that she didn't know her husband of 16 years at all.<br />

By daring to enlarge her neighbors' lives, she crosses Mrs. Gamart, the local arts doyenne. Florence's warehouse leaks, her cellar seeps, and the shop is apparently haunted.

Some held the book to be anti-Christian, others were disturbed by a heroine so proud, self-willed, and essentially unfeminine. The modern reader may well have trouble understanding what all the fuss was about. On the surface a fairly conventional Gothic romance (poor orphan governess is hired by rich, brooding Byronic hero-type), Jane Eyre hardly seems the stuff from which revolutions are made. But the story is very much about the nature of human freedom and equality, and if Jane was seen as something of a renegade in nineteenth-century England, it is because her story is that of a woman who struggles for self-definition and determination in a society that too often denies her that right. But self-determination does not mean untrammeled freedom for men or women. Rochester, that thorny masculine beast whom Jane eventually falls for, is a man who sets his own laws and manipulates the lives of those around him; before he can enter into a marriage of equals with Jane he must undergo a spiritual transformation. Should the lesson sound dry, it's not. Jane Eyre is full of drama: fires, storms, attempted murder, and a mad wife conveniently stashed away in the attic. This is very sexy stuff - another reason Victorian critics weren't quite sure what to make of it.<br /></span></div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-59612643150951629182011-05-30T15:03:00.002+08:002011-05-30T16:15:42.070+08:00Emma by Jane Austen<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qMHpBKi5g-HKRga82g26vxph-AGjSQRqv3o5qWqQfevD8a_lWMtjLZ_v1KLarr31sAMeZIQQ3mmmsZKkgaahOttF36hQ37sUF073xdF6Szg8zYCAahTwzArLSBskIueJ4yOZhypF4xE/s1600/P1070567+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qMHpBKi5g-HKRga82g26vxph-AGjSQRqv3o5qWqQfevD8a_lWMtjLZ_v1KLarr31sAMeZIQQ3mmmsZKkgaahOttF36hQ37sUF073xdF6Szg8zYCAahTwzArLSBskIueJ4yOZhypF4xE/s200/P1070567+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419858827708786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgojqitlO5rKhHd4oMKQ1AksHJicsQtP1fdaW0sBsroIwVhLKHZxFWLWCPHMEX3aLzmWX3VYEeUqiKc84GqAmAr7bOBX72a_9T4N90CZanAsM8AVAwTMjheBKjVQ8KrF8z_xx4VHVtDYHs/s1600/P1070568+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgojqitlO5rKhHd4oMKQ1AksHJicsQtP1fdaW0sBsroIwVhLKHZxFWLWCPHMEX3aLzmWX3VYEeUqiKc84GqAmAr7bOBX72a_9T4N90CZanAsM8AVAwTMjheBKjVQ8KrF8z_xx4VHVtDYHs/s200/P1070568+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419862660010866" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;">Category: Fiction</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Type: Paperback<br />Condition: As good as new<br />Price: RM15<br /><br /></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Emma Woodhouse is a wealthy, exquisite, and thoroughly self-deluded young woman who has "lived in the world with very little to distress or vex her."</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Jane Austen exercises her taste for cutting social observation and her talent for investing seemingly trivial events with profound moral significance as Emma traverses a gentle satire of provincial balls and drawing rooms, along the way encountering the sweet Harriet Smith, the chatty and tedious Miss Bates, and her absurd father Mr. Woodhouse–a memorable gallery of Austen's finest personages. Thinking herself impervious to romance of any kind, Emma tries to arrange a wealthy marriage for poor Harriet, but refuses to recognize her own feelings for the gallant Mr. Knightley. What ensues is a delightful series of scheming escapades in which every social machination and bit of "tittle-tattle" is steeped in Austen's delicious irony. Ultimately, Emma discovers that "Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common."</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:85%;">Virginia Woolf called Jane Austen "the most perfect artist among women," and Emma Woodhouse is arguably her most perfect creation. Though Austen found her heroine to be a person whom "no one but myself will much like," Emma is her most cleverly woven, riotously comedic, and pleasing novel of manners.<br /></span></div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-32918743224038757612011-05-30T15:00:00.002+08:002011-05-30T16:14:41.093+08:00Life Is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GhNgVzhm4p5A4Co2s5mQvwjjAMdZNsx6UYka4OgWi_rn2QtMzs1oRuMifrha9bIYRAGnDGsY1G4XXRS8One49PU613NpduCjti8gKtrsqVFLSvgZz4DcYT2vHa56tMWhQVHUjGa3qg8/s1600/P1070569+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GhNgVzhm4p5A4Co2s5mQvwjjAMdZNsx6UYka4OgWi_rn2QtMzs1oRuMifrha9bIYRAGnDGsY1G4XXRS8One49PU613NpduCjti8gKtrsqVFLSvgZz4DcYT2vHa56tMWhQVHUjGa3qg8/s200/P1070569+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419605127631186" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWApR_vJB33znBllQDtR4MaIwTEtZVwx3nC8O0-tgHtluaurfV-C0ZF8zkfULqb0sO42YQ3kCPjm44nBk2NBrk3QYnf_Pw0LJNANt2fq3FLRXijrm97q4dO8uu9zxcQNZOrBqcNq6L7i0/s1600/P1070570+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWApR_vJB33znBllQDtR4MaIwTEtZVwx3nC8O0-tgHtluaurfV-C0ZF8zkfULqb0sO42YQ3kCPjm44nBk2NBrk3QYnf_Pw0LJNANt2fq3FLRXijrm97q4dO8uu9zxcQNZOrBqcNq6L7i0/s200/P1070570+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419610543053858" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;">Category: Fiction<br />Type: Paperback<br />Condition: Slightly yellowed pages, otherwise good<br />Price: RM15<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The author intially intended to call this noel, The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes scarosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made hima poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce.<br /></span></div>Booksybooks.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13540317598749149686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839169025237882807.post-85593115466036394672011-05-30T14:58:00.001+08:002011-05-30T16:13:19.846+08:00Ignorance by Milan Kundera<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCRhpRVeT0YYa8hb34cx4fPWNAGXNZ7V9BBSCDgt41mhvWX14s19M1rYrbjx9LBQZ-gKg09in0Co4viQVSQPLtoTSgyTAsMk_tWHWTpVPguiCaz-F6Q_l1__Fx0Fx5zBVxUC3825HT6s/s1600/P1070571+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCRhpRVeT0YYa8hb34cx4fPWNAGXNZ7V9BBSCDgt41mhvWX14s19M1rYrbjx9LBQZ-gKg09in0Co4viQVSQPLtoTSgyTAsMk_tWHWTpVPguiCaz-F6Q_l1__Fx0Fx5zBVxUC3825HT6s/s200/P1070571+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419255316134242" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCar5X3qZaVOx_7G5PVntwRXvmcoez8ClhgiQrffxSo4Bu5qJ-mpGBc8MPo_3SnxmkvmrLZTwCbdRdVtbEEWumpbV6Zg13-2dcNEOJk3B5L-D3Ewa5X1wIIA9gLSrn2Lx3wB9pwzd47Xk/s1600/P1070572+%2528Medium%2529.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCar5X3qZaVOx_7G5PVntwRXvmcoez8ClhgiQrffxSo4Bu5qJ-mpGBc8MPo_3SnxmkvmrLZTwCbdRdVtbEEWumpbV6Zg13-2dcNEOJk3B5L-D3Ewa5X1wIIA9gLSrn2Lx3wB9pwzd47Xk/s200/P1070572+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612419259509812546" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;">Category: Fiction<br />Type: Paperback<br />Condition: Slightly yellowed pages, otherwise good<br />Price: RM15<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Irena and Josef meet by chance while returning to their homeland, which they had abandoned twenty years earlier.
