Elizabeth Haydon: Rhapsody The Saga.
Who's been here longer, knows the phenomenon already: sometimes the ax is a need to come to a strange literature, which we must be ashamed of in the subway. And so it is no more shocking that I fished out my stacks of books a ludicrous fantasy trilogy, which I will share with you. Attention, gentlemen, this is long:
This is the saga Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon. Meanwhile, there should be six or seven parts, here I am referring to the first three volumes. In Germany, the number among the total senseless titles daughter of earth, fire, and daughter of Daughter of the Wind available. First of all: the blurb sounded interesting, so I've bought the stuff at the time (and because it is a long winter and I was extreme on a flight from reality).
It is about three companions Rhapsody (singer), Achmed (Assassin) and Grunthor (Giant), who flee from their pursuers through the earth to the other side of the world. This kind of time goes a lot faster and they only come 1400 years later, on the other side out again. In the meantime, their home island has gone back they can not. One must therefore make the best of it and settle in the new world. The good times just Achmed subjecting an entire people, and becomes king. Rhapsody learns just once a day, a new language.
Oh Yes, Rhapsody. Haydon will not tire, since, via Rhapsody's beauty, kindness and gentleness to rant. The heroine is in fact ab-so-lut unearthly beautiful, it holds little! The dazzling golden hair, slim figure, alternating emerald and leaf green eyes. Hach. And so naive: they do not even know how beautiful she is, while all the world loses its mere sight of the mind. Haydon is even such a crush on her heroine that a shudder.
course, with Rhapsody's heart full of sorrow - because unfortunately, they ran away from home at 14 and become prostitutes. Reason: at a party has the good child to know a guy asleep after half an hour by him and vowed eternal love. And then the guy appears to no longer. Lovesick! The world! Because one of 14 of course already know you will mourn the boor behind a lifetime, one can also immediately run away and whore.
Since Rhapsody in the new world running away bitterly regret that the family is temporarily lost with the home island in the floods, they are constantly adopted to replace any of strangers (full psycho if you ask me). This gentle, angelic beings with the leaves green eyes and a broken heart. Uaaaaahhhhh!
I must admit that I design the world's refined and sophisticated find and Broad history please me very well. But the author said so incomprehensible rambling to himself that the story itself unfolds at a snail's pace. One could believe that novels are to detail accordingly, but Haydon verlobhudelt their lines mainly to the incredibly beautiful Rhapsody (I mentioned that it has leaf-green eyes?). The other characters are her damn well that remain colorless to crazy.
short, the kitsch factor is astronomical. The confusing translation does the rest to - never before has a man in a novel so inflationary "smiled." The love scenes have been terribly embarrassing to me: Regenbogenorgasmen, Clinch soul and inner fire, hhrrrrrrr! On
funniest actually is, that some critics in the blurb compares the novels by Tolkien. I do not know what they have paid the. Maybe he got a few green leaves contact lenses.

Greek And Roman In Romeo And Juliet
Audrey Niffenegger: The Time Traveler's Wife.
It is before Christmas (it is not, but since I started the article) . I spent a month traveling. I have a stack of books, and almost all have liked me. I have been building up thoughts. In my mailbox I found on my return, strangely, a handful of advertising requests - I have rejected all, and I will have to produce anything. Because all what you read here should come from the heart.
almost two years there is an ax, and I must confess: I find it often difficult to meet the net. Sometimes does my head breaks, and many a job in my day job (yes, there are) going to my limits. Nevertheless, all who read along here, I would say: it goes on with an ax. Sometimes it's slow, sometimes it is uninspired, sometimes at a loss. But it goes on. Maybe more in analog speed. Whatever. to
instead be sentimental, I put you prefer The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger ends his heart. The novel was filmed not too long ago, but I have not watched the movie and am referring exclusively to the book.
so completely in front and unintellectual - who just this Winter melancholic longing feeling inside, can escape the Time Traveler's Wife little. Anyone who has ever missed violently, dreamed and loved, will terminate with high probability while reading his mind into a room and want to indulge in shameless kitsch. Kitsch is of course a bad word for such a delicate novel, yet I have to note here is that you already love an idealist terms should be to enjoy the story really can.
grabs the irresistible story of the soul mate that is, those of us in the neck that go on and do not want to dream of the one of the truly great and everlasting love. What the heck, sometimes you want something, and Audrey Niffenegger makes fabulous.
And that's what Henry DeTamble has an uncontrollable genetic defect that forces him to travel spontaneously through time. On these time travels, he met the six years of Clare, the future wife of his later self. The different versions of Henry visit the adolescent Clare repeatedly on his time travel, because his present unconscious it seems reliable to send back there. Because Henry knows what will happen in the future, he tells Clare to their own protection are almost unheard of - and yet he is the one who finally experienced their first "adult" meeting completely clueless. Because of Henry, met the now adult Clare in a library, his first journey to their experienced before not even during Clare Henry knows almost all her life.
Whether you like love stories or not - The Time Traveler's Wife is a really great, consistently applied idea. And I think that even unconventional realists in this boy-meets-girl story, will find favor. For Audrey Niffenegger the time many links sent to threads together and seeks to significantly avoid cliché (of which except that the fateful love as such already is one, but we are not here at the Financial Times).
A great novel for a melancholy afternoon with tea and biscuits, if the partner is currently on tour and will be missed by us. And who has no partner can be wonderful to imagine when reading that the future could arrive at any moment sweetheart from the future. Is not bad.
This article is the way for Kristina, who gave me the other day a little motivation.
