The Art of the war By  Sun Tzu Published:  2500 years ago Genre:  Nonfiction, classics, politics, philosophy, politics Edition : Audiobook Source:  Free download Pages:  273 My rating : 5/5  Goodreads rating : 3.96/5 Read:  2018 "The supreme art of the war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." The Plot  This book was written 2500 years ago by a chinese militar. This book is really actual. The reader can recognise strategies that can still be adopted by the great leaders.  Although is written in millitary language, if we think of it as a metaphor, we can relate with our daily lives. I could show several quotes but it is really interesting reading it. Where the action takes place   China. How is it written The translation is good and simple. Military language. Likes  The metaphor. The audiobook. Easy to read. Dislikes  Nothing to report. Price  Am...

I remember.” I wanted to read this book for a while. However, was always one of those that  I would read another day. with the Good reads group "One shared shelf", early this year I decided "This is it! I am going to buy it and read it."  As I have a kobo, I decided for the on line version. And I was not disappointed.  This review is going to be slightly different due to the kin...

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank By Anne Frank Published: 1947 Genre: Nonfiction, history, biography, autobiography, memoir Edition: paperback Source: Purchased Pages: 283 My rating: 5/5 Goodreads rating : 4.1/5 Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing. I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage. It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because...
