Some of this may be deliberate obfuscation, but to say all of it is intentional is probably lending him too much credit. Which would be inadvisable, as he’s apt to run off with it, the contents of your bank account, and your horses, too.
Judges Review
Its real interest lies to me in how it depicts the interactions of this early form of Judaism and its practitioners with other faiths and their practitioners.
Trapped in Silk Slippers
Bemoaning the indulgence and laxity of the present in comparison to a more arduous, hardworking past is a time-honored tradition.
The Nibelungenlied Review
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?
My Niche?
These are stories that aren’t historical fiction, are not set on Earth, but are set in a world very analogous to Earth, with strong inspirations from real history, and with “fantastic” elements which are…I want to say subtle, but that’s not quite right. Tightly integrated might suffice.
Joshua Review
If we were to compare the books of the Bible reviewed thus far to the plotting of a novel, the story that begins in Exodus reaches it climax and denouement in Joshua.
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.
The Brothers Grimm: A Biography Review
Bringhurst and Zolbrod approach the discussion thoughtfully, and I’ve written in conversation with their thoughts on the matter; Schmiesing clearly has opinions on the matter, but they don’t come across in the text as fully formed, and she engages with the matter shallowly, passing slantwise judgements on the Grimms’ editorial decisions and their intersection with contemporary and modern mores, without engaging in a deeper analysis.
The Knight in the Panther’s Skin Review
These must be some of the most emotional, nay, emotive knights. To an even greater extent than Arthurian champions, the knights in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin are deeply and vocally emotional.
Instructions of Amenemope Review
Studying ancient Egypt is a little like studying astronomy: it is an exercise in understanding something on a completely different scale from normal human experience.
