  • Conqueror by Conn Iggulden Review by Jonathan Aird
    Conqueror By Conn Iggulden Review by Jonathan Aird bout a year ago I reviewed the first four books of Conn Iggulden’s treatment of the epic story of the rise of the Mongol Khans. This is the fifth, and final, installment in Athe series and deals with the rise to power of Kublai Khan. Again, I will try to avoid giving away too much of the plot although of course being historical fiction there are certain “fixed events” which can’t be avoided, some of which (such as dates of death) are revealed again in the family tree of Ghengis Khan and his descendants which is found at the start of this book. I had hoped in my previous review that “Conqueror” would be a return to a more eventful story, after the political wrangling that had taken up much of volumes three and four, and in this hope I was rewarded. The story concerns the rivalries of Kublai and his three brothers, which offers a nice symmetry to the first two volumes and Ghengis and his brothers. However, the Mongol empire is pretty vast already at the start of “Conqueror” and so the opportunities to interfere with each other’s plans are vastly diminished – each has a substantial realm to control, as well as any scheming to become Khan of the whole nations. Much of the book is concerned with Kublai’s first attempt to conquer the Sung empire (this sees a return appearance of the last Chin emperor in a nice side plot), and with his brother Hulegu’s military campaigns against the Persian Empire (with a return appearance of the clan of Assassins – one of the best subplots of the novel).

  • Note Di Produzione
    Note di produzione “affidati al tuo cuore se i mari prendono fuoco (e vivi d’amore anche se le stelle ti voltano le spalle)” —e.e. cummings, dive for dreams Tratto dall’acclamato romanzo di Ben Sherwood, Charlie St. Cloud è una commedia romantica in cui ZAC EFRON (17 Again – Ritorno al liceo, Hairspray – Grasso è bello) veste i panni di un giovane eroe di provincia che, sopravvissuto a un terribile incidente, inizia a guardare il mondo da un’angolatura del tutto singolare. Nella storia, dai forti contenuti emotivi, il protagonista inizia un viaggio romantico durante il quale, ripercorrendo il passato, arriva a comprendere il vero fine della sua esistenza e il potere trasformativo dell’amore. Il velista, neo diplomato, Charlie St. Cloud (Efron) vive circondato dall’amore della madre Claire (la vincitrice di un Academy Award® KIM BASINGER, L.A. Confidential, 8 Mile) e del fratellino Sam (l’esordiente CHARLIE TAHAN). Ha una borsa di studio della Stanford University che lo condurrà lontano dall’assonnata cittadina natale della regione nordoccidentale del pacifico. Il suo brillante futuro, però, viene stroncato da un’immane tragedia che condizionerà e cancellerà i sogni di un’intera vita. I due fratelli sono vittime di un incidente stradale e sanno che il momento fatale sta per arrivare. Charlie fa a Sam la solenne promessa di non abbandonarlo ma il repentino intervento di un coscienzioso paramedico Florio Ferrente (RAY LIOTTA di Quei bravi ragazzi, Notte folle a Manhattan) gli salva la vita; drammaticamente però, quella di Sam non può essere salvata. Charlie è inconsolabile. Ai funerali del fratello, fugge dal luogo della sepoltura e si inoltra nella foresta alle spalle del cimitero, dove, al tramonto, s’imbatte in una piccola radura.

In almost any job, you are allowed to make the odd mistake, with red faces all round and perhaps a new office nickname. Not so with hit men. If assassins had a theme tune, it would be something solemn and deeply dignified. Adagio in G minor, perhaps. Soft rock would not be appropriate for such a serious business. Bonnie Tyler would not do at all. It might have helped if Albert had spent his earlier years in the army, becoming a grim and, yes, somewhat suave dealer in death. He did not do this, however, because Albert Rossi was a late starter. Up to the age of forty-nine, his life had proceeded in an aimless fashion, much like the windows of his beloved menswear shop in Eastcote, Middlesex. Things changed, but things also stayed very much the same. Sadly, his debt to the bank rose every year. He had tried replying. He had even tried charging them for his own letters. To his horror, this seemed only to encourage them. Perhaps he was distracted that Monday. The threat of bailiffs will do that to a man. He may have been listening to Bonnie Tyler, but moments of immense stress often blur details. The first he knew of his career change was when a small man wearing a poorly cut suit and smart black shoes ran out in front of him.

Jure Dimec Študentka: Anja Jerše Ljubljana, december 2009 Izvleček: V seminarski nalogi je predstavljena primerjava med dvema spletnima enciklopedijama: Wikipedijo ter Encyclopædijo Britannico. Najprej je primerjava izvedena opisno – s primerjanjem njunih nemerljivih lastnosti, nato pa s pomočjo štetja tematik (ki jih predstavljajo hiperpovezave). Kot osnova sta bila izbrana dva nivoja spletnih strani tematike Mughal dynasty. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata obe enciklopediji pozitivne in negativne lastnosti. Wikipedija vsebuje veliko več hiperpovezav, ki pa so uporabljene precej nedosledno. Veliko pojmov je napačno zapisanih, povezave so nedelujoče ipd. Encyclopædija Britannica vsebuje hiperpovezave, ki so v veliki meri povezane z izbrano tematiko ter se od nje pretirano ne oddaljujejo. Povezave so ustvarjene dosledno, so delujoče ter pravilno zapisane, tematiko predstavi z vseh vidikov, Wikipedija pa pretirava s hiperpovezavami, ki bralca prehitro odvrnejo od osnovne tematike. Ključne besede: Wikipedia, Encyclopædia Britannica, hiperpovezave 2 KAZALO 1.
