Book Description
Swann’s Way, published in 1913, is the first part of Proust’s seven-part novel A la Recherche du temps perdu. The author’s expansion, revision and correction of the work were cut short by his death in 1922, and sixty-six years later editors are still producing variants of the last three volumes based on working notebooks. The novel’s structure was compared by its author to that of a cathedral, and its status is that of one of the greatest literary landmarks of the twentieth century. Sheila Stern’s study begins with a summary of the whole novel and goes on to give an account of the activity of reading as part of its subject-matter. Two chapters are devoted to Swann’s Way itself, with close attention to the opening pages, and to such topics as memory, time, imagery and names. The book’s reception in various Western literatures is discussed, and there is a guide to further reading.

Book Description
Praised as a “master storyteller” (The Wall Street Journal) and hailed for his “flawless use of language” (Boston Herald), Irish author and playwright Sebastian Barry has created a powerful new novel about divided loyalties and the realities of war. In 1914, Willie Dunne, barely eighteen years old, leaves behind Dublin, his family, and the girl he plans to marry in order to enlist in the Allied forces and face the Germans on the Western Front. Once there, he encounters a horror of violence and gore he could not have imagined and sustains his spirit with only the words on the pages from home and the camaraderie of the mud-covered Irish boys who fight and die by his side. Dimly aware of the political tensions that have grown in Ireland in his absence, Willie returns on leave to find a world split and ravaged by forces closer to home. Despite the comfort he finds with his family, he knows he must rejoin his regiment and fight until the end. With grace and power, Sebastian Barry vividly renders Willie's personal struggle as well as the overwhelming consequences of war.

Another Irishman in a long long line of wordsmiths.......2007-01-16
I do not see Barry's prose rising to the elevation of my favorite Irish writer, Liam O'Flaherty, though I think he provided a highly compelling story pointing out the absurdities of war. For those who would like to follow-up with the brutalities of WWI trench warfare, I would suggest reading O'Flaherty's "The Brute."
I recommend this book!.......2007-01-11
This is an incredible touching book. Millions should read this. It is a cry against the violence of war. President Bush should take notice of this message!
Stunning, moving prose........2006-11-03
He writes like a poet (which he is) and moves his reader as very few other writers ever have. War is brutal and senseless, and it destroys the hearts of the young men (and women now) who go to strange places to fight it. No one can bring home the sense of the innocent soldier who is loosing his soul more than Sebastian Barry, except perhaps Hemingway. Barry writes about Ireland's heart and the hearts of its young as no other.
A wonderful addition to the canon of war literature.......2006-10-22
Sebastian Barry's Booker shortlisted "A Long Long Way (LLW)" isn't just about the First World War. If it were, there wouldn't have been much of a point to it, since landmark works by Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Own, etc already define the canon of war literature. The accolades that have greeted the publication of LLW have much to do with the fact that Barry offers a fresh perspective of the war experience and the poetic sensibilities he brings to the telling of it.
LLW is about the heartrending confusion and torn loyalities one Willie Dunne of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers fighting for king and country against the Germans experienced when the 1916 Easter uprising erupted that would destroy trust among compatriots, strain family relationships to breaking point and precipitate personal identity crises. It is Willie's ordinariness that generalizes his simple hopes and dreams, making them the symbol of Irish consciousness.
Ironically, despite the many battle scenes of war, terror and destruction common to war stories, restraint and understatement typify Barry's richly poetic prose which spawn fully drawn and utterly memorable characters like the sergeant Christy Moran, Father Buckley, little sister Dolly, and the tragic Jesse Kirwan. Scenes that show little Dolly's unconditional love for her big brother, Willie's father's rejection of his son for siding with the nationalists and committing - in his mind - treason are poignant, though more often heartbreaking. The brutality of Jesse Kirwan's execution and the discovery of a buddy's betrayal that would lead to Willie losing his sweetheart Gretta only heighten the pain that's felt when the knife is driven deeper into the wound.
"A Long Long Way" is a wonderful piece of work, an exceptional book. The subject may seem a little well worn, but Barry doesn't just give it a special spin, he offers a perspective rarely encountered in war literature. Highly recommended.
Great read, Great Message. War is Indeed Hell........2006-05-26
This is an outstanding book. Barry spins a great tale of an Irishman swept up in WW I. Undoubtedly, for me the strong points of the book were the authors graphic depiction of the horrors of WW I ( If you see a cloud of yellow gas moving towards you, leave immediately ), and the complexities of the involvment of the Irish in that war. He also succeeded in personalizing the war by folding in the lives of the soldiers
away from the front.
This book should be required reading for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other Chicken Hawks who continue to feed our young soldiers into this meat grinder of a war that is the Iraq mess.
I recommend it unqualifiedly as not only a good reminder of just what Hell war is, but also as a really great read.
Book Description
The Way of the World has been widely acclaimed for its unique combination of narrative theory and social history. This new edition includes an additional final chapter on the collapse of the Bildungsroman in the years around the First World War (a crisis which opened the way for Modernist experimentation), and a new preface in which the author looks back at The Way of the World in light of his more recent work.

Re-Bildung the European Bildungsroman.......2002-09-29
Franco Moretti is one of those rare critics who consistently churns out books that--though never unassailably argued or immaculately interpretive--nevertheless change forever the way you read a genre. In "The Way of the World," Moretti sets his sights on the European Bildungsroman.
Moretti's basic argument is that the Bildungsroman genre served, in its various national incarnations, both to reveal and modify the processes of socialization--of putting each member of society into his or her proper place within the society--specific to each culture represented. He begins with an innovative reading of Napoleon at Waterloo and its innumerable literary reproductions throughout the 19th century, arguing that societies embroiled in Napoleonic Republicanism developed radically different styles of envisioning the individual's position vis-à-vis society than were evident in the societies Napoleon didn't reach (namely England, whose Bildungsroman Moretti finds unpalatably reactionary, "far more elementary and limited than its continental counterparts"). This framework enables closer readings of Stendhal, Goethe, Brontë, Dickens, Flaubert, Balzac, Austen, Pushkin, etc.
Implicit in Moretti's thesis is a valorization of all things Napoleonic that gives slightly favorable treatment to those works whose individualism pits the protagonist against a repressive society (Stendhal's Sorel is a fave here), as against the less progressive tendencies of, say, Dickens, whose heroes are constantly checked--and who constantly ALLOW themselves to be checked--in their efforts to reach beyond the lot afforded them by a rigidly hierarchized industrial society (David Copperfield, Pip, etc.).
"The Way of the World" combines an amazing attention to detail with an equally amazing occasional lack of it. Moretti's readings of Stendhal are at times revelatory, but finally incomplete, as he fails to account for punishments meted out by the text. Is Stendhal really more progressive than Dickens simply because Stendhal's heroes end up dead and Dickens' end up employed? This may make the heroes more progressive in Stendhal, but the text seems to perform its own brutal socialization, checking the protagonists even more definitively than Dickens ever does. Likewise, the lack of treatment of Thackeray, a huge figure who could have single-handedly troubled Moretti's pronouncements on the supposedly conservative English version of the genre, is palpable.
The fact is, though, this is an illuminating book. You won't be able to read anything written in the 19th century the same way afterwards. Moretti reveals novels for what they are--vicarious testing grounds for various ways of being in the world--and goes a long way toward making us more attentive to what subtle social messages they convey and what those messages can do to us.
Book Description
In his long-awaited, vastly innovative new novel, Naipaul, "one of literature's great travelers" (Los Angles Times), spans continents and centuries to create what is at once an autobiography and a fictional archaeology of colonialism. "Dickensian . . . a brilliant new prism through which to view (Naipaul's) life and work."--New York Times.
Customer Reviews:
not a strong point for Naipaul.......2005-07-09
I am a huge fan of V.S. Naipaul. The premise of this book--exploring the effects of the colonial situation upon the lives of three men--is excellent. However, this book is a confusing conglomeration of three separate and unrelated stories, and there were times when I found myself wondering what was going on. I love Naipaul's flair for narrative and description, but the sections on Miranda are almost entirely dialogue, with lots of obscure references. I actually skipped over the last section on Miranda because I just could not get through it, whereas normally I am unable to put down Naipaul's books. Not one of his best works...in fact I don't recommend it to anyone aside from those hardcore fans who are determined to read everything this great novelist has ever written.
Many Stories, Many Themes, One.......2002-06-06
This book claims to be a novel. I don't know that it is; it is more like an autobiographical essay, filled with character studies that imply more about the author than anything else. Raleigh and Miranda came to South America to conquer, and to find glory. But in Naipaul's fictional rendering, they've come to find themselves, and a certain tenderness, sentimentality, and openness pervades every word they speak. - I suspect Naipaul himself would be both pleased and angry at this development. You can clearly see his own voice, moral reckonings and conscience in their words, but it is said voice that makes these characters alive. Naipaul, in reading about Miranda and Raleigh, had to put himself in their shoes to understand who they were and their motivations truly, and in the process he found himself in their characters. -
There are other, loosely connected stories in this "novel," too. One about a Muslim who dresses up corpses before funerals; one about working in Trinidad's equivalent of the civil service; another about the development of a young novelist; yet another about the mediocrity of an immensely talented, mature novelist, and the simultaneous absurdity and purity of a black revolutionary. - All of these are, of course, connected by an autobiographical thread. -
But despite the existence of this thread, one would make a major mistake if one asked questions like "What is the narrator's persona?" or "How does the narrator change throughout the story(ies)?" - You are, after all, looking through someone else's eyes at the world. That constant looking submerges the self; makes it a mere reporter many times. -
I don't know how realistic that is (even in selflessness, the self quite literally exists). But it is part of this "novel," and it is beautiful to behold.
Intimations of compassion.......2002-04-12
It has been said (mostly by me) that the achievement of Kingsley Amis and Philip Larking was that they turned self-pity and whingeing into an art form. Almost. The contrast with V.S. Naipaul puts them in their place. His portrait of the post colonial world is black, and it is bitter, but it is made in good faith, it contains a large portion of the truth, and it is depicted with consummate artistry. Starting with his experiences as a very junior clerk in his native Trinidad, Naipaul's narrator notes "The volumes smelled of fish glue. This was what they were bound with; and I suppose the glue was made from a boiling down of fish bones and skin and offal. It was the colour of honey; it dried very hard, and every careless golden drip had the clarity of glass; but it never lost the smell of fish and rotteness." Note the first unappetizing sensation, how the three physical details in the next sentence shift our attention from the first fact, only to be recapitulated in the final word. This is a special, subtle form of writing.
The theme of the novel consists of several portraits of flawed men who lived and experienced Trinidad. There is the promising English travel writer Foster Morris, who ultimately failed to achieve his full potential. There is the radical black revolutionary Lebrun who is highly intelligent and has many acute things to say about the narrarator's writing, yet ends as an apologist for the Soviet Union and for various African tyrannies. There is a long chapter on Sir Walter Raleigh's futile attempt to find El Dorado, with a discussion of the lies and brutalities he committed in a futilte attempt to save his neck from an ungrateful English government. There is an even longer one on General Miranda, who attempted to free Latin America from the Spanish. The pictures of Raleigh and especially Miranda are damning. Miranda promises to free the slaves of Venezuela, at another time promises his English and Franco-Haitian allies he will do nothing. He has traded slaves in the past, his career has been marked with incompetence and venality, and his political program is vague and pompous. It is not suprisingly that when he arrives in Venezuela the priests will successfully rouse the common people against him as an infidel, that Venezuela will collapse into racial and class strife and that Miranda will be captured and die in a Spanish jail. Finally there is the narrator's visit to a dreary one party state, marked with corruption and violence against the East Asian minority, and where an old colleague of the narrator will be murdered by powerful officials for being too effective against bribery. There is an everpresent ugliness and bigotry. Everywhere there is violence and cruelty: the Spanish and the British in Miranda's Trinidad both butcher slave rebels who have their own violent customs. In one African country a child is butchered so that a chief can be washed in its blood. But the crushing of the chiefs by the central government is no force for progress, but merely a newer and even more unpleasant tyranny. Yet in all these pictures there is something more than condemnation. It is not quite compassion, not quite mercy, in the way that Naipaul agrees that there is something more, something worthy in their lives. It appears to be the truth.
Is it? Naipaul's portrait of Lebrun is based, very obviously, on C.L.R. James, the famous author of The Black Jacobins. Yet Lebrun is at times a dishonest apologist for the Soviet Union, while the real James was very famously a Trotskyist sympathizer. The difference is important: it would not be fair to blames American fundamentalists for the Inquisition. In the end of the Lebrun chapter Lebrun is unable to fully recognize his own memories. "For the interviewer or the television producer it was enough, a text for today; not understanding that Lebrun's anguish had begun there, with the old coachman taking him far back, almost to the times of slavery, as to the good times. But perhaps, too, in extreme old age, he had become a child again, looking only for peace." This is very subtle, but it is not as magnaminous as it appears. It is less an act of justice, as an indulgence, to a character whom Naipaul has subtly manipulated for his convenience. It reminds us of the other side of Naipaul; the spiteful comments on E.M. Forster and the ungenerous attitude towards Salman Rushdie, the critic of Indira Gandhi and Evita Peron who praised the Hindu Communalist government of India during a particularly nasty bout of intercommunal rioting, the man who is admired and praised by the Anglo-American right for condemning the Third World, less for its cruelties (so often unavoidable), but for not being English. Is Naipaul really showing sympathy or is he just too infinitely graceful and subtle to reveal his full contempt? Does he fear showing spontaneity, even love, because he thinks it is only really sentimentality? Something is missing.
Good Book.......2002-01-26
This is a good and challenging novel. It is also perhaps Naipaul's most autobiographical, and brazenly so. There is no attempt on the part of the narrator (whom Naipaul uses, first to explain how the colonial baggage affects his characters [characters, incidentally, whom you've met in other Naipaul novels], and then to represent the brainchild of a number of "unwritten" stories told in "A Way in the World's" pages) to distance himself from Naipaul's own experiences in Trinidad, England, and then all over the world, as the "voice" of the former colonials. This weight of this book's message comes late, making a challenging read worthwhile.
A Worthwhile and Challenging Book.......2001-12-16
An excellent book. At times it is difficult but it is not impossible. A series of failed revolutionaries and their follies occupy the mind of a narrator, an aspiring writer seeking his place in the world. Modern day revolutions like socialism come and fail, not very different from the past where the imperial powers vied for power with a host of different racial groups in South America. This is my first book I've read from V. S. Naipaul after hearing that he won the Nobel Prize. Based on this, I'm going to read more.

Book Description
This collection of essays by a diverse group of young academics, established critics, and well-known writers strikes an intriguing balance between scholarship and reminiscence. The only full-length book on Mary McCarthy that is not a biography, this volume contains discussions of McCarthy as a member of the New York intelligentsia, her search for a just and ethical political philosophy, and the paradox of her views on feminism. The contributors include McCarthy biographers Carol Brightman, Carol Gelderman, and Fran Kiernan; novelists Thomas Flanagan, Maureen Howard, and Thomas Mallon; Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Frances Fitzgerald; and critics Morris Dickstein and Katie Roiphe. The book concludes with a moving reminiscence by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

DearS series.......2006-07-27
I have read 'DearS' 1-6 and personally I thought the story was hilarius! And no, I did not buy it only to look at the pictures...I read it but hey, if your into looking at the pictures (there are many like the one on the cover...) then this book would be good for you! The story is ok if you can follow it so I don't know if that helps anyone but thats my opinion...
Nice but nothing new........2006-03-20
DearS is about aliens who crash land on Earth and are now working to become part of society. Lucky for the lonely Takeya he ends up with an alien honey, called Ren, who needs an education about how to get along with humans.
This manga reminds me of Chobits mixed with Imadoki!, or Video Girl mixed with Tenchi Muyo, or Oh My Goddess mixed with Azumanga Daioh. You get the idea, sexy alien girl meets Earth high school boy who knows nothing about how to handle a girl. In other words, same old same old.
Both Cute and Funny.......2006-02-12
The Plot is easy to follow. The characters personalities flow nicely against each other to make such a comedy as this one. I think it is a great read for those of the mature comedy persuasion.
i loooooovveeee this book but.....parents.......2006-01-17
this book is really good. the artwork, story, everything but parents need to be cautioned. THIS BOOK IS A LITTLE TOOOOO SHOWY. yes i know its a T rated book but i really think its an OT rating. if you dont want your son/daughter seeing this kind of stuff, dont let them read it. oh i forgot this book has a lot of language in it, too.
It's not Chobits!.......2005-11-06
At first look at this manga you would say, "Chobits with aliens.", but I disagree with this( Even though, I thought the same thing. ). Having aspects and a plot similar to the ever so popular Chobits, it can be predictable and sometimes hard to find the differences between the two. Many manga-ka have used the Chobits feel. But how can you blame them? It's a good theme! I'm not trying to defend them, they should try to come up with new and original themes. DearS may have ripped off CLAMP a bit however, it has a very different feel and environment. Yes, a lot of the ideas come into the story but reality and thought can only extend so far for the human mind. It's not a long extended series that keeps going on forever to get the money, it has a humble feel that has it's fans. If you have finished the Chobits series and liked it, DearS could be just for you. I also applaud Peach-Pit being females and coming up with such a perverted and fun series.

I thought I was purchasing a book, not an opinion. I should have been paying better attention.
The article was useless. It wasn't worth a penny less much over $5 paid for it. Who in their right mind would intentionally pay over $5 for some magazine's opinion? There is no important information in this article. Advice is to not waste the money. It rates ZERO STARS. The computer wouldn't allow a zero choice in the "rate this item" box. Thus the one star.
