Con "Diatriba" se tiene otra maravillosa obra de Garcia Marquez. Es impresionante como puede un autor escribir desde el punto de vista femenino y hacer toda una reclamacion con los argumentos de una mujer, pero con vision masculina. "Diatriba" nos muestra de nuevo la versatilidad de Garcia Marquez quien no nada mas nos describe fantasias e irrealidades. En "Diatriba" se describen situaciones actuales, reales, pero con la riqueza del lenguaje que caracteriza a Garcia Marquez. Imposible empezar a leer este monologo sin terminarlo, sin saber la causa de tanto reclamo. Excelente libro. Lo he leido varias veces y en cada una de ellas he descubierto nuevos detalles y nuevos sentimientos. Otra vez Garcia Marquez nos deleita con esta obra. La recomiendo.

I'm an avid fan of Garcia Marquez; I've read almost all of his books and I had never heard of "Diatriba de amor contra un hombre sentado" until a couple of years ago.

In this book (the english translation is something like "complaint of love to a seated man"), Garcia Marquez writes a monologue of a woman, complaining to her husband about the lives they've lived and her frustration. I was amazed to see how well Garcia Marquez could write from a woman's perspective.

The book is very short and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the only copy of the book I've seen was in my university's library. I've tried for a long time to find this book on a bookstore, but have been unsuccessful. If you see this book and you're a fan of Garcia Marquez, don't hesitate to buy it! It's a really good short story and you'll enjoy it!

Ably written for young readers by Evelyn Minshull and illustrated by the superb artwork of Andrea Gabriel, Eaglet's World is the powerful story of a bald eaglet, hatched from an egg, who must grow up and accept the challenge of leaving the comfort and safety of his nest. An informative, engaging story, enhanced at the end by a page of facts about bald eagles to educate young readers, Eaglet's World is an ideal and welcome addition to family, school, and community library picture book collections.

This is one of those rare gems that you find once in a great while. For the person who in serious about their personal prayer life this book is a must have. Father Bunge critiques the problems of modern Catholic prayer and lays out a plan for individual prayer and shows the basis on the early church fathers. This is an informative and practical book! I highly recommend it.

Get to know "Gabo" through his own words as he converses with his old friend Plinio. I found "El Olor de la Guayaba" beneficial in helping me understand the author's view of his own books, including the popular and Nobel Prize-winning "Cien Años de Soledad"/"One Hundred Years of Solitude." García Márquez explains how this novel is thoroughly based in Caribbean reality, not "magic." In addition, "El Olor de la Guayaba" provides valuable and interesting biographical and personal information, plus some great photos. García Márquez is a brilliant, witty, and humanistic soul, and this little book fully shows off his character.

Garcia-Marquez dictator combines within himself, the best and the worst, of the human being when invested with absolute power: from charity to corruption, benevolence to rape, fear of God to extreme cruelty. The (sparse) punctuation follows an almost strict fitting of the Poisson statistical distribution, page by page, and then amongst chapters, constituting this into both a textbook in literature and statistics. To some of us the most masterful novel of the Master Novelist of Meridian America.

I have attended "Empire of the Sultans" exhibition in San Francisco's Asian Art Museum multiple times. The new catalog has many helpful historical overviews which will help to orient the reader in rich history of Ottoman Empire and Islam. I was mostly impressed with maps, cutout calligraphy, illustrated prayer calendars, and calligraphy on dry leaves. Some of the scrolls of edicts from the time of zenith of Ottoman power (Suleiman the Magnificent) are executed in a wonderfully restrained style with just the hint of color and gold dust. A reader will have a great time with this catalog!

I used this book as a main Textbook for my course, Organizationl Behaviour, while studying for a BSc in Business Administration, at the University of Bath, Avon, UK.

I found it a very structured, well organised book, very challenging and intellectually rewarding, both for beginners and already familiar students/colleagues in the world of Organizational Behaviour.

I would suggest this book to anyone in this field, as a 'Must'. You should go on and read it!
