I am hesitant to draw significant conclusions about the work itself based on the transliteration, but I’ll draw a few for the purposes of this review. Most significant: why was Seigfried murdered?
Daodejing Review
It is the reader’s responsibility to ponder and comprehend the sometimes contradictory-seeming assertions into a form which is individually useful and meaningful.
On Benefits Review
“Benefits” seems to be the most common and literal translation, but you will also see it translated at times as “Charity,” “Generosity,” or “Giving.” One annotated version I came across titled it An Ancient Guide to Giving. Though perhaps less accurate than On Benefits, I think this last might be the most appropriate.
On Agriculture Review
It is also interesting to note that Cato, like many of his Roman contemporaries, successors, predecessors, and others in different places and times well into the modern day, lauded the agrarian lifestyle as the pinnacle of human thriving.
The Faerie Queen Review
I almost gave up after finishing the first book, but there were enough elements that intrigued me to continue into the second, and I’m sometimes a little stubborn, so I pushed on. I’m glad I persevered.
Genesis Review
It probably sounds terribly sacrilegious, but the God in Genesis feels like a God who is sort of figuring things out as He goes.
Canterbury Tales Review
More even than other historical works, it is a true portal to the past, replete with everything that implies for the historian, the author, the worldbuilder, and the simply curious.
Following the Equator Review
He at times writes of significant matters, but too many chapters are filled by inane diary entries and games played aboard the ship. There just isn’t enough substance to the book to make it worthwhile, especially at some seven hundred pages.
The Invisible Man Review
A useful metaphor it might provide, but that doesn’t absolve the author of the need for plausible impossibility.
Five and Twenty Tales of the Genie Review
The core of Five and Twenty Tales of the Genie is what it means to be a good king, conveyed through a series of parables delivered by the titular mythological figure.
