Tags: Subjects | The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition In December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Amazon was fortunate to come into possession of one of the original copies, and it was our privilege to share images and reviews of this incredible artifact. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with a new edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008. Offering the trademark wit and imagination familiar to Rowling s legions of readers--as well as Aesop s wisdom and the occasional darkness of the Brothers Grimm--each of these five tales reveals a lesson befitting children and parents alike: the strength gained with a trusted friendship, the redemptive power of love, and the true magic that exists in the hearts of all of us. Rowling s new introduction also comments on ... | |  | Durchschnittliche Bewertung:     (129) Stephenie Meyer Preis: EUR 6,62  (84 Stück)

With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a political process that is broken and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people. We had the opportunity to ask Senator Obama a few questions about writing, reading, and politics, see his responses below. --Daphne Durham 20 Second Interview: A Few Words with Barack Obama Q: How did writing a book that you knew would be read so closely by so many compare to writing your first book, when few people knew who you were? A: In many ways, Dreams from My Father was harder to write. At that point, I wasn t even sure that I could write a book. And writing the first book really was a p... | |  | Durchschnittliche Bewertung:     (88) Stephenie Meyer Preis: EUR 2,80  (88 Stück)

Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship. Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scen... #Sehr spannendes Buch      (2008-10-29) Ich möchte mich hier nicht über Einsternrezensionen aufregen, aber ich fühlte mich verpflichtet diese Rezension zu schreiben, ich finde, dass die Leute, die behaupten, das Buch sein langweilig, haben es entweder nicht gelesen oder haben ein komplett anderes Verständnis für langweilig. Viele Leser haben sehr viel positives über das Buch geschrieben, da kann man sich nur anschließen. Zum Schluss bleibt noch zu sagen, dass ich das Buch toll finde und jedem empfehlen würde es zu lesen, nicht nur Teenagern, sondern auch Menschen, die sonst klassis... | |  | Durchschnittliche Bewertung:     (2) Barack Obama Preis: EUR 7,50  (21 Stück)
