Suzanne Goins is the chef-owner of Lucques, an acclaimed Los Angeles restaurant noted for its Sunday meal service. Sunday Suppers at Luques presents 132 recipes from the restaurant, arranged by seasonal menus and thus by market availability, with the likes of Hawaiian Snapper with Green Rice and Cucumbers in Crème Fraîche; Saffron Chicken with Parmesan Pudding, Spring Onions and Sugar Snap Peas; Bistecca California with Peperonata, Baked Ricotta, and Lemon; and Young Onion Tart with Cantal, Applewood-Somked Bacon, and Herb Salad. Home cooks should find these deft, light-handed creations immediately attractive, if not always readily reproducible, as many call for special ingredients like the aforementioned snapper, Kaboca squash, and roncal, a Spanish sheep's milk cheese, among many others. Reasonable alternatives aren't always suggested. Though the dishes themselves aren't difficult to make, reproducing whole menus, or even multiple dishes within them, will require a kitchen workout.
These things said, many cooks will want to try making the more approachable dishes apart from their "trimmings," not to mention such desserts as Warm Crèpes with Lemon Zest and Hazelnut Brown Butter, and Jessica's Favorite Meyer Lemon Tart with a Layer of Chocolate. With color photos, the book is also lovely to pore through. --Arthur Boehm
Book Description
Few chefs in America have won more acclaim than Suzanne Goin, owner of Lucques restaurant. A chef of impeccable pedigree, she got her start cooking at some of the best restaurants in the world–L’Arpège. Olives, and Chez Panisse, to name a few–places where she acquired top-notch skills to match her already flawless culinary instincts. “A great many cooks have come through the kitchen at Chez Panisse,” observes the legendary Alice Waters, “But Suzanne Goin was a stand-out. We all knew immediately that one day she would have a restaurant of her own, and that other cooks would be coming to her for kitchen wisdom and a warm welcome.”
And come they have, in droves. Since opening her L.A. restaurant, Lucques, in 1998, Goin’s cooking has garnered extraordinary accolades. Lucques is now recognized as one of the best restaurants in the country, and she is widely acknowledged as one of the most talented chefs around. Goin’s gospel is her commitment to the freshest ingredients available; her way of combining those ingredients in novel but impeccably appropriate ways continues to awe those who dine at her restaurant.
Her Sunday Supper menus at Lucques–ever changing and always tied to the produce of the season–have drawn raves from all quarters: critics, fellow chefs, and Lucques’s devoted clientele. Now, in her long-awaited cookbook, Sunday Suppers at Lucques, Goin offers the general public, for the first time, the menus that have made her famous.
This inspired cookbook contains:
§132 recipes in all, arranged into four-course menus and organized by season. Each recipes contains detailed instructions that distill the creation of these elegant and classy dishes down to easy-to-follow steps. Recipes include: Braised Beef Shortribs with Potato Puree and Horseradish Cream; Cranberry Walnut Clafoutis; Warm Crepes with Lemon Zest and Hazelnut Brown Butter
§75 full-color photographs that illustrate not only the beauty of the food but the graceful plating techniques that Suzanne Goin is known for
§A wealth of information on seasonal produce–everything from reading a ripe squash to making the most of its flavors. She even tells us where to purchase the best fruit, vegetables, and pantry items
§Detailed instruction on standard cooking techniques both simple and involved, from making breadcrumbs to grilling duck
§A foreword by Alice Waters, owner and head chef of Chez Panisse restaurant and mentor to Suzanne Goin (one-time Chez Panisse line cook)
With this book, Goin gives readers a sublime collection of destined-to-be-classic recipes. More than that, however, she offers advice on how home cooks can truly enjoy the process of cooking and make that process their own. One Sunday with Suzanne Goin is guaranteed to change your approach to cooking–not to mention transform your results in the kitchen.

My favorite cookbook..........2007-07-20
I am an avid reader of cookbooks having collected and read many. This is one that I always come back to. Lucques is one of my favorite restaurants in L.A. and we always take out-of-town guests there - and then tell them about this cookbook!
One thing - as other reviewers have pointed out - access to a good farmer's market makes all the difference. it's tough to do a lot of these recipes correctly without all the proper ingredients. The Meyer lemon tort (with or without the chocolate) is fairly easy and the flavor is just fabulous!
I love this cookbook..........2007-05-06
I've had this beside my bed for a month so that I can read through each and every recipe. I love how she used seasonal items and splits the book into Seasons instead of Appetizer, Entree, etc. Great recipes. I totally recommend this cookbook.
Good addition ot your cookbook collection........2007-03-30
This is a lovely book. I am quite comfortable in the kitchen and more often that not, consult recipes for flavor ideas and use them as templates but there is something about the carefully crafted recipes of Suzanne Goin that leads me to prepare them almost exactly as written. Furthermore, every recipe I have made has been superb and does not need and tweaking. Yes, the recipes aren't fast but I disagree with the reviewers who say they are difficult. Her recipes reward the patient chef but she also has some that can be made quickly. Her dressings are particularly great.
Very good but watch the ingrediant lists.......2007-01-20
Susan goin is a great chef with a great natural style of cooking that highlights the superior ingediants that she uses. If you don't have those ingrediants handy in your market she urges you to not get hung up on that. If your an advanced cook and can punt this is a great book you will enjoy; if you are not an accomplished cook and live in an area of the country which does not have artisen farmers this book may not be for you.
The recipes are set up for six portions which is fantastic as it is a dinner party book. She wrote this to encourage us to have a full table and to break bread and share your table with family and friends which really should be a habit and I applaud her. It is a beautiful book with a heartfelt introduction and sentimental rememberances by Ms . Goin which will make you long for all the meals you missed at the family table. A great effort and a nice addition to your shelf.
Hard work with a payoff.......2006-10-17
I bought this book after examining its beautiful pages various times at the bookstore. Last night I cooked from it for the first time. It was a lot of effort, but it did pay off. Last night I made the Deviled Chicken Thighs. My work began Sunday with four trips to different stores to assemble the various necessary ingredients. Yep, two supermarkets, the liquor store, and a bodega (I live in Jersey City, just outside Manhattan). Then the next day was the cooking. Altogether it took me about four hours for that part of the task. Honestly, halfway through I seriously considered giving up. But I persevered, the author's directions are very precise and very clear, so I just concentrated on completing each step. When I was done, my kitchen smelled wonderful (between peals of the smoke alarm set off by the cooking of chicken in oil) and I had a beautiful and delicious meal to serve. So, my thoughts are this . . . don't pick this book if you expect a quick and easy meal to toss onto the table. This is serious cooking and it takes a lot of work and dedication to get through it. But, wow, when you are done, you feel like you've climbed a mountain, and you have this wonderful meal to show for your efforts. Also--now that I have been through the entire recipe, I bet I can do it again, with much less effort and pull it off again more easily. Meaning -- I learned some things about cooking while working my way through it. Not something you can say about a lot of cookbooks. I'm going to put this book aside for a month or so, and then carefully pick a recipe and do it all again. I recommend this book heartily to someone who is interested in cooking and most of all LEARNING.

Poor service -- very poor follow-up........2006-08-28
As part of a $250.00 order, I ordered the Michelin France Provence map in English, and the Michelin 2006 Red Guide France: Hotels and Restaurants in English - both Items they sent me were written in French, which are of no value to me. I requested a shipping label to return the map and the book and asked they send me the English versions. The Amazon Outsourcing Desk in India refused both request. I requested an American Amazon Customer Service Manager contact me on this Issue. That has never happened. I am also being asked my Satisfaction on a 3d book - Markets Of Provence - which they never sent me. The remainder of my $250.00 order were the English Versions, as ordered. My Overall Satisfaction: Well below the 1 Star shown. Actual Satisfaction "F Minus" for all departments in Amazon and far less for their very poor Customer Service and lack of ethical follow-up for their mistake.
Wonderful! A tour of Provence even when you can't travel........2005-05-26
This book is a lovely guide for those who plan to travel to Provence as well as those who cannot. It is lovely - just lovely. Beautiful photographs, wonderful insights and descriptions off the beaten path. I high recommend this book.
Perfect For Trips Or Just Some Dreaming..................2000-07-30
If you or anyone you know plans a trip to Provence, make sure this book goes too! It is an excellent guide to the wonderful Provencal outdoor markets. If you want to experience Provence at its finest, this is one of the very best guide.
Full of gorgeous color photos, this is a beautiful as well as helpful book. After the trip, it is wonderful to go through the book again and savor all of the great memories. For the finest produce, cheese and other delights of the South, this book is a must have!
you can almost smell the lavender.......2000-05-17
This excellent book was in the kitchen of a house we rented a couple of years ago in Caromb, northeast of Avignon. Not only were the lists of daily markets invaluable, but the recipe for quails with spring onions on tapenade-covered croutons, for example, allowed us to make good use of local products. (With all those fabulous tapenades available at market, I did not make my own, as the recipe suggests.) Patricia Wells's introduction reminds you of her own invaluable guides to food throughout France, and her inspiration and influence are apparent throughout the book -- the level of knowledge, enthusiasm, and appreciation for the wonders of Provençal food is engaging and contagious. The illustrations remind you of places you've been away from too long and get the juices flowing for a return visit for markets you missed the last time.
Absolutely marvelous!.......1999-06-25
My cousin and I just returned from a 9-day trip to Southern France. Our highlights can all be found in this wonderful book. We met Henri Tomas and taste-tested and approved the Galette specialty of the house; taste-tested and brought back many bottles of wine from Chateau La Canorgue. We followed the suggestions and pretty much made the rounds to all of the sites. Our last evening in Provence, we sampled the goat cheese, bread from Henri Tomas' patisserie and the wine...we added our own Picheline olives and fresh market tomatoes to make our meal complete...what a last supper to have in France. Joy of Life, Indeed!!!!!! Thanks for making our trip a 10++++++.

Book Description
Story behind publication of Suite Francaise as moving as the novel itself Irène Némirovsky was a successful novelist living in France at the beginning of World War II. She was also a Jew. In 1942, she was sent to Auschwitz, where she later died. Now, sixty-four years later, and in April—Holocaust Remembrance Month—the novel she left behind is finally being published in the U.S. Suite Française is Irène Némirovsky's masterful novel of life under Nazi occupation in France. Already a bestseller in England and France, it is, in the words of The Independent, “no gloomy elegy but a scintillating panorama of a people in crisis—witty, satirical, romantic, . . . and gorgeously lyrical by turns.†The manuscript for Suite Française was preserved by Némirovsky's young daughters, who took it with them when they went into hiding after the arrest of their parents. Thinking it was their mother's journal, they could not bring themselves to read it. Only decades later, as they prepared to place it with an organization dedicated to documenting memories of the war, did they discover what they truly held. The audio edition of Suite Française is narrated by Dan Oreskes (“Part One: Storm in Juneâ€) and Barbara Rosenblat (“Part Two: Dolceâ€). Mr. Oreskes is a featured voice on PBS’s Nature. He is also heard weekly narrating the successful crime series Cold Case Files on AandE. He recently narrated the audio edition of the Prix Goncourt winner The House of Scorta. Ms. Rosenblat has won numerous awards and recognition for her work as an audiobook narrator. She was named a “Voice of the 20th Century†by AudioFile magazine.

Suite Francaise.......2007-10-17
This is one of the most well written compelling books I have read. The author captures the people of France (and the German soldiers) at their most vulnerable, describing them so vividly that you believe them to be real; capturing their faults, their courage and their desire for peace. Her descriptive language brings the country side to life...you can almost smell the flowers. Most importantly, as I read the book I was haunted by the fact that this author, who had so much to live for, was killed shortly after this story was written. I found it amazing that she could convey with such tenderness the raw detail & complexity of the people of France during the early war years knowing that her life was so obviously at risk.
Deeply Moving and Evocative.......2007-10-16
This posthumously published pair of Novellas deserves all of the praise being heaped upon it by all of the reviewers below. It is a remarkable portrait of real people in extraordinary circumstances.
In the First section the reader follows a mixed group of Parisians who are desperately fleeing the oncoming german army. The characterizations of people reacting differently to the stressful situation they find themselves in and the degradations they suffer is poignant and stunning.
In the second section Dolce the Germans are now an occupying force and the tension between conquerers and conquered is palpable. The way the Frrench villagers and citizens adapt to their challenging circumstances is as strong a testament to those who lived through these times as any written record.
Suite Francais is destined to become one of the classics of WWII literature. The writing is incredibly beautiful even in translation.
"Based on true history...".......2007-10-14
The history behind the author of the book is what appealed to me, but the story lines kept me entertained to the end. Some parts dragged, but for the most part, the characters were very relateable and it is interesting to see how their lives intertwined in fictional WWII France. The fictional occupation and end to the war in France portrayed by the author in some ways leaves you hanging but also conveys what the uncertainties and tragedy of war can be like.
not pleased.......2007-10-14
I cancelled this order within 12 hours of placing it and it was a holiday weekend. I got the book anyway and then Amazon told me I would get full credit but I didn't. I got charged for the freight. Not happy.
France and the French during the German Occupation-a portrait, not a snapshot.......2007-10-10
Irene Nemirovsky-a superb author. Her historical novel is well written, well conceived, and ceretainly presents a true and real picture of France and the French people during the German Occupation. The world lost a wonderful woman of letters when she was murdered at Auschwitz.
Book Description
As irascible scholar Professor Lidenbrock pores over a rare Icelandic tome, he discovers a scrap of parchment with cryptic writing tucked away between the ancient pages. And when his nephew, Axel, finally breaks the writing’s secret code, he learns of a hidden underground passageway that may lead deep into the center of the earth.
Despite Axel’s misgivings, he and the obsessed Lidenbrock travel to Iceland and, with a guide named Hans, set out on a perilous expedition in the course of which the trio will encounter an extraordinary new world of extinct yet living species, an underground sea, and gigantic, battling monsters.
Filled with the authentic detail and startling immediacy Jules Verne labored to bring to
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and
Around the World in Eighty Days,
Journey to the Center of the Earth is the fantastic adventure that secured Verne’s reputation as the premier writer of speculative fiction.
Download Description
The "Voyages Extraordinaires" of M. Jules Verne deserve to be made widely known in English-speaking countries by means of carefully prepared translations. Witty and ingenious adaptations of the researches and discoveries of modern science to the popular taste, which demands that these should be presented to ordinary readers in the lighter form of cleverly mingled truth and fiction, these books will assuredly be read with profit and delight, especially by English youth.
Customer Reviews:
Maybe it was the translation..........2007-10-14
The version of the Jules Verne classic I read was the very old English translation that transmogrifies the protagonist into Harry Lawson, I guess to appeal to English readers.
The idea is good, and the science very convincingly conveyed...but I was underwhelmed with the action, or lack thereof. Pages upon pages are devoted to the prosaic trek to the Icelandic volcano which serves as the ingress to the abyss, and, once inside, pages upon pages are devoted to the mundane exploration of rocky tunnels. ("Look at that magnificent feldspar, Uncle!")
The protagonist gets lost (and found), the water supply runs out, and sundry other non-exciting events occur. I wanted more ichthyosaur vs. plesiosaur-type happenings...which alas, were barely represented.
The treatment of Saknussemm defies credibility, and the fact that the main characters survived being erupted out of Mt. Etna beggars belief. I'll grant a lot of latitude when the premise is such an interesting and promising one. But don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
I wanted to enjoy the book more, but couldn't. Maybe it was the translation...I'd like to think so.
Verne Goes Below the Surface of the World.......2007-09-15
For those interested in the history of science fiction, it can be debated as to who wrote the first science fiction story. My personal choice has always been Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein, but others have argued for Poe or others. Then there are Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, who were more-or-less the first true science fiction authors, that is, authors who really wrote in that genre.
Verne predates Wells, but I still can see argument for Wells being given priority. Wells seems to have done more to give the genre definition; Wells is more interested in using the fiction to speculate about the future and the nature of man. Verne, on the other hand, uses science more for a plot device to tell adventure stories. Probably it's impossible to ever settle the matter, but the way I see it, Wells was the deeper thinker, but Verne was the more entertaining writer.
Journey to the Center of the Earth is a typical Verne story. In it, the narrator Axel relates the story of an adventure with his uncle and guardian, the esteemed Professor Otto Lidenbrock. Lidenbrock has stumbled upon an old parchment, which when translated, tells of a passage to the center of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland. Axel, well-educated himself, is more skeptical than his obsessed uncle, but is compelled to go along (it doesn't help when Axel's fiancee thinks the journey is a good idea.
The bulk of the novel deals with the trip to Iceland (where they pick up an assistant, Hans), then to the extinct volcano, and finally into the bowels of the Earth. What they find there defies their expectations, and I won't spoil any of the fun by revealing it.
Like other Verne tales I have read, this one is written with a light touch and is an easy read (Wells is a bit more inconsistent in this regard). Compared with today's works, this is pretty tame and simple, but for its time, it must have been a lot of fun. In fact, it's still pretty entertaining, and if you're a science fiction fan, this is a good look at one of the early works in the field.
Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Lost races, dinosaurs, volcanoes, what more could a kid want? A scientist discovers some writing by an old explorer that greatly excites him. He puts together a cosmopolitan expedition of adventurers to go and check it out for himself. The expedition includes his young nephew, presumably so younger readers have someone to relate to.
Not quite what I was expecting.......2006-11-21
A Journey to the Center of the Earth did not turn out to be quite what I was expecting; I can't say quite why, however, because I'm not entirely certain what those expectations were. I hadn't read the novel previously, but I thought I knew what it was about. As a result, I think I was expecting more drama than Verne delivers, or perhaps I simply wanted the book to be more than it is. Most likely I was conflating Verne's novel with other texts: movie adaptations of the novel itself, for instance, in which considerably more in the way of actual antagonism--as opposed to the perils of nature itself--occurs; or hollow world stories, in which entire societies thrive on the inside of the earth's crust beneath the rays of a sun that lies at the planet's center. A Journey to the Center of the Earth is neither of these things, of course, and if I underwent any disillusionment, it was purely of my own making.
Understood on its own terms, the novel is, at the very least, interesting, but, truthfully, not much happens. The narrator's speculations (as well as his fevered dreams during times of travail) suggest a much wilder adventure than actually takes place. Much of the action involves the trio of explorers stumbling around in caverns and tunnels, and much of the impediment takes the form of hunger, dehydration, or equipment loss. In fact, as best I can judge, they really don't approach anywhere near the center of the earth, although they do travel quite a distance laterally before resurfacing.
The real joy is the interactions between the characters, primarily the trio of protagonists: the young narrator, his scientist uncle, and their silent, idiosyncratic guide. The expedition leader is an archetypal nutty professor, whose words and actions seem nonsensical to those not privy to his thought processes; his nephew, the narrator, alternates between sheer wonder at his surroundings, and sheer terror at the likelihood of spending the rest of his short life surrounded by them; Hans, the guide, says almost nothing but performs his duties in an exemplary manner, and insists on being paid weekly rather than all at once, even while under the earth (a square deal, in his eyes). Their interactions with each other, and with the variety of Icelandic folk they encounter on their way to the volcano which is their means of ingress, are wittily and cleverly depicted. These character moments are the high point of the novel; one wonders how much of their clever interplay originates with Verne and how much is an invention of the translator (who, in this edition, remains sadly anonymous). Whether the novel's tone in its English version is added or simply preserved in translation, full marks to whomever this perceptive soul is.
Though one reflexively considers Jules Verne a "science fiction" writer of a primitive sort, this is really more of an adventure tale and, taken as such, it is generally successful. The adventurers don't explore a strange new world so much as become more intimately acquainted with the world they already know, but if the reader doesn't go in expecting flights of pure fancy, the novel is rather satisfying.
Postscript: I should point out that this review refers to the Signet Classic mass market paperback edition of the novel, which features an afterword by Michael Dirda. Knowing Amazon, it's possible that this review will surface under several different versions, and without clarity, we have nothing.
Better than all the movie versions.......2006-11-09
This short book is one of the founding classics of science fiction literature. It details the story of a German scientist who comes across a map to a place that leads inside the Earth. He puts together a crew, and of they go to Iceland to find the volcano that serves as the entrance. From there, he and his crew journey into the Earth and encounter environments with their own plants, animals, geography and weather. They collect samples, evade dangers, and have hair-raising adventures. The group travels back to the Earth's surface, but lose much of the samples to prove their trip.
The book moves along quite quickly, and has fewer dinosaurs and other animals than seen in the various movie versions. Instead, the book focuses more on the internal dynamics of the group, and how they react to their discoveries, and to each other. All in all, a book that is easily read in a couple of hours, and more worth the time than watching any of the movies.

Book Description
From State to Market? examines the changing role of the French state in the economy between 1981 and 1995 and its impact on business. Professor Schmidt details the governmental policies of nationalization, privatization, deregulation, and European integration; illuminates the "statist" policymaking processes through which such policies were formulated and implemented; profiles the players, the administrative and managerial elites who share common state educational background and career track; and describes the changes in economic performance, capital structure, and managerial practice.
Customer Reviews:
Having read all the reviews, this is what I think:.......2001-10-03
I've read all the reviews of Schmidt's efforts on matter of European Integration. And here's what I think: She is destined to embrace the English model and the English model, I'm convinced, will embrace her. The two will be as one. They will be a European Union far more robust than anything concocted in Brussels. So I, for one, would like to celebrate that true union of politics and passion and hoist a glass to Schmidt and this English Model!

I've read all the reviews of Schmidt's efforts on matter of European Integration. And here's what I think. She is destined to embrace the English model and the English model, I'm convinced will embrace her. They will be as one. A European Union far more robust than anything concocted in Brussels. So I, for one, would like to celebrate that true union of politics and passion and hoist a glass to Schmidt and this English Model!
Let me tell you about this English Model.......2001-10-03
As I see it, the English model must be (and no doubt is, in Schmidt's extraordinary hands) smart, generous, and prone to displays of great good humor. The English model must display the kind of maganimous spirit that say, one brother-in-law might display to another brother-in-law if the latter brother-in-law were, say, a writer needing a place to stay in England.
May I know more about this English Model?.......2001-09-18
I've read through the review string, and I must ask about the referenced English model. Please tell me more. I know of course of Schmidt's work on French models and German models and the energy she devoted to the models of Italy and America. Before I endorse this new effort, I think we should know more.
Yes, but . . ........2001-09-05
I agree with most of what the earlier reviewer stated. Schmidt is definitely 5-star material. But her most recent efforts have in point of fact focused almost exclusively on the English Model, and with amazing results.

Book Description
The wild rush of action in this classic frontier adventure story has made The Last of the Mohicans the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales. Deep in the forests of upper New York State, the brave woodsman Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and his loyal Mohican fiends Cingachgook and Uncas become embroiled in the bloody battles of the French and Indian War. The abduction of the beautiful Munro sisters by hostile savages, the treachery of the renegade brave Magua, the ambush of innocent settlers, and the thrilling events that lead to the final tragic confrontation between rival war parties create an unforgettable, spine-tingling picture of life on the frontier. And as the idyllic wilderness gives way to the forces of civilization, the novel presents a moving portrayal of a vanishing race and the end of its way of life in the great American forests.
Download Description
At the centre of the novel is the celebrated 'Massacre' of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper built a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohican Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout.

The Noble Savage.......2007-09-28
"The Last of the Mohicans" is a novel for the ages and its hero Hawkeye is a man who teaches life lessons with each page you turn. Many people believe that this novel has outlived its worthiness but once turn of the pages will reveal to the reader a world that is both savage and young, characters that are both civilized and savage, and a story that harkens back to the beginnings of the new world. Cooper's language is hard to swallow sometimes, and the movie is easier to watch, but the reader who settles into the pages of Hawkeye's life and world is rewarded with lessons about friendship, love, survival and the rite of passage that all people go through. It is a definite must read for both English and History classes as it explores the beginnings of this great country in which we live.
"We Were Here".......2007-07-19
Since there are already over 100 reviews of this book and probably thousands have been written over the years, I'll do this one without benefit of book in hand, from memory and without a lot of details. It took me many years to get over the antiquated language barrier and to finally read the book. The classics are always harder to read than contemporary fiction, but sometimes it's worth the effort.
What tipped the scales for me and piqued my curiosity was watching the recent movie with Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, and Eric Schweig, and realizing that this was a good story. Also, I'm very familiar with the setting in upstate NY: Lake George, Balston Spa, Glenns Falls, Scroon Lake, and surrounding area--at least as it is now, and it was fun imagining what it would have been like in those days, when the land was virgin, settlers could lose their scalps if they weren't careful, and the France contested with Britain for supremacy of the land.
The book wasn't a romance--at least not in the modern sense of the word--with love scenes and the like. But it was a romance in the old sense in that the three main characters; Hawk-eye, and the two Mohicans, were larger than life heroes; in the moral, physical, and spiritual meanings of the term. The elder sister Cora was also a well developed, strong willed and heroic character, which surprised me a little considering the age in which the book was written.
For me the most interesting character of the novel was Chingachgook's son, Uncas, who was the "last of the Mohicans," a noble race of American Indians, which formerly occupied the lands by the "salt lake," (i.e., the Atlantic Ocean), and were dispossessed and robbed of their lands and heritage by the original Dutch settlers and others. Uncas was a tracker extraordinaire, even better than the indomitable Hawk-eye in this respect. But he was young, inexperienced, and impetuous, which was eventually his undoing when he came up against the evil, and formidable Magua. But before he died, he was recognized as a king or great chief of his people, an heir apparent. So decreed the venerable Tamenund, a 100 year old patriarch and judge of the Delaware peoples, a related tribe to the Mohicans. This episode would have been difficult to write into an action movie, but it would have been great if it had been.
Another interesting character completely eliminated from both the 1934 and 1992 movies was David Gamut, a preacher psalmist, whose moral presence and as a comic relief, was an integral part of the novel.
All in all, this is still a book worth reading, if only to get a glimse of the way things were then and might be again.
the last of the mohicans.......2007-07-12
it is a very good book but the english that it is written in is different from the way we speak today. I enjoy the book and will recommend it to everyone looking for something that is good to read and to all children for their classes that require reading books.
Natty Bumppo: The American Tarzan.......2007-06-11
Nathanial Bumppo, otherwise known as Leatherstocking, Deerslayer, and Long Rifle, is without a doubt the quintessential American version of Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan. To be sure, Cooper's frontier character saw print long before Burrough's creation did in 1912. This in no way invalidates the creation of ERB, but it does give more literary impact to a wholly American character who appears in what can only be defined, if one is truthful, as wholly flawed novels.
The five novels which feature Bumppo were written by Cooper out of sequence. This doesn't necessarily impair the fictive underpinnings of the stories themselves, but it does give rise to certain elements which writhe like a murky thread throughout the main arc.
We will, as expected, consider the best known, at least as far as the general public goes, work of Cooper, that being "The Last of the Mohicans" and examine just what makes this novel tick, and why you should read it.
Cooper believed that Indian culture must needs be crushed by the Anglo Saxon wheels of religion and technology. He saw no other way around this inevitability. Though he wasn't himself racist by the definitions which we adhere to today, he did have certain beliefs of superiority of his own culture which "dark-skinned" individuals had to bow down to. "Mohicans", with its poignant idea that there will come a time the "last" of this noble race will pass from the ken of men (that is to say the ken of White Men), has through this very self-same literary device carved for itself a spot of prominence withing American literature.
Not everyone liked Cooper's work. He was always viewed much more favorably in Europe than by home-grown American authors. Mark Twain famously savaged Cooper's work and the savagery resonates even to this day. Yet, something about the novels, especially "Mohicans" endures. Perhaps it is the idea of a race of men passing, the thread of virgin forests and pure lakes, the savagery of life on the frontier, the fog of war, the blood-curdling violence. Whatever the reason for its longevity, and Twain notwithstanding, this book endures. Thank God.
As one might expect there is very little of this book that is recognizable in the 1992 film remake of the same name. In fact, the film stole much of the story line which was rewritten in the 1920 silent film. In the modern film Hawk-eye, at the height of his powers, is taciturn to a fault but still capable of a normal sexual relationship. In the novel Natty Bumppo is not only naive sexually, he won't shut up, period. He discourses on everything, even to the halt of the action being described around him. Leaning on his rifle he has no problem detailing, to exhaustion, his opinion on events around him.
Another big difference, aside from the often awkward descriptions, stereotypes of women and just plain ignorance of Native American ethnicities, is the fact a major character dies in the novel yet is allowed to survive in film. I suppose this would come as a shock to someone who saw the movie first, but there it is. Cooper has no problem dispatching that which, if allowed to live, would intercede in the future life of Hawk-eye. Natty Bumppo must remain pure. He must be allowed to view and accept nature as a powerful motivation than the love of another human being. It is his past, it is his destiny. He is akin to the figure of Greek tragedy in this way. He has a duty to perform and he will accomplish it, but he himself cannot lose the connection he has to the pristine land he loves and calls home.
I highly recommend this book, though the new reader must approach it with a few caveats and not a little caution. Cooper is simply not that great a writer. I am not the first to say that nor will I be the last. Many of the passages go on far too long and the long-winded philosophies of Bumppo grate. Nevertheless, there is power here, along with pathos, grandeur, and yes, love -- though it's love on Bumppo's, and Cooper's, own terms.
Despite its many flaws this is a major American novel by any definition. If you like adventure, and don't mind a little (okay, a lot) lagging, I think you will enjoy reading "The Last of the Mohicans."

Book Description
Henri Charriere was a Frenchman who was convicted in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he spent 12 years in the penal colony of French Guiana. After eight unsuccessful attempts to escape, he finally got away to Venezuela. More than 20 years later, when he was 60, Charriere wrote this story. Told in a spontaneous, straightforward style, PAPILLON became an international best seller and was made into a popular motion picture.
Customer Reviews:
an intrepid journey of the hero through a series of hells.......2007-07-07
A petty thief wrongfully convicted of murder by a French court in 1931. The bulk of this narrative, and it is a tremendous one, is this man's incarcerations in penal colonies in French Guyana: the many escape scenarios and attempts; the final escape to the mainland; and 2 years living with the local Indians.
Charriere's writing style is spontaneous, lucid, and totally without pretense; real storytelling prowess. The storylines are inbued with perserverance, grit, and undercurrents of humor. He never surrenders to despair; his sense of intrepid survival and courage sustain him throughout the 13 years of his imprisonments. The will to live is the engine that drives these riveting episodes.
The question of the authenticity of this narrative, like the Castaneda books, arises; but ultimately, it doesn't matter if this story is true or not. This is an adventure story; and hyperbole is always involved in the narration of any adventure, regardless of degree. It is the power of the storyteller that mesmerizes the listener/reader in this, a hero's journey. In this case, it is a journey of liberation from a series of hells.
After reading this book, you will come away feeling enriched by this man's intrepid spirit. Highly recommended.

An Irresistible Adventure, An Escape from Devil's Island.......2007-06-11
Charriere's book was impossible to put down. Whether novel or real, his story as a prisoner is unforgettable. Highly recommended.
The Indomitable .......2007-01-21
One of the great adventure books of any time; certainly had had huge impact on my childhood as it was more mesmerizing and novel and gripping than any of the more conventional classics. There it was: a documentary that once again proved that the human spirit at its highest truly becomes indomitable and cannot be destroyed.
The writer erected the monument to the spirit that went unbroken even in the harshest brutality of the Guyana's tropical gulag.
VERY overdue for an updated translation.......2006-10-23
No, there's no need whatsoever for some poor sod to re-translate the whole book! It still reads beautifully. But, and this is a BIG but, the translation is, today, WAY TOO TAME. The quaint, oblique, charming English expletives he employs now badly interfere with the book's mood and thrillingly immediate, rough flavour. He translated this book way back in 1969; even the English aren't so delicate any longer. Please, isn't it time to honour Charriere's original manuscript, and dirty things up a bit??!
Was Charriere only a good story teller?.......2006-09-07
After reading the book, I almost fancy committing a crime with the hope of a prison sentence and the chance of escape! This is an excellent read! I have traveled in Guyana and around the southern Caribbean to some extent and the sea is very rough. He must have been some sailor!
Guyana is such an amazing and beautiful country, sadly remembered for the horrifying stories of "the bagne", its tropical deadly diseases, its giant ants and migales, its poisonous snakes, frogs and spiders, etc. During colonial times and later, the living conditions were indeed so difficult that diseases, i.e. dysentery and typhoid fever, would spread by the day or hour, mainly due to the lack of hygiene and the lack of access to medical facilities,. Malaria and yellow fever also caused more deaths among inmates than the internment horrendous conditions and other atrocities. The name and reputation of Guyana has not yet completely recovered since that time. The "bagne" was officially closed down in 1943. I can only wonder how one would ever think of an escape from it. Guyana is in the middle on nowhere. North and South is just the plain, thick, green, giant rainforest. What about Rivers, cricks? Then, probably only an expert Wayana could paddle a canoe and maneuvers through the strong stream of the Maroni or the Oyapock muddy rivers.
I visited what remains of the internment camps in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, which gate stayed opened wide like a dead man's mouth, and the one in "Ile Saint-Joseph": a few compounds without doors or roofs still stand, black walls falling in decrepitude, zinc and iron bars rusted by the rain and the humidity... Surely, much of the tales of Charriere are pure fiction. Anybody (except of course the native Amerindians) will get lost and die just trying to find his or her way through the maze and thickness of the rainforest, and escaping through the sea doesn't looks such a better idea either. It is said that the sea, which is blue at the "Iles du Salut", is full of sharks who regularly swim about and around the islands to prey for sea turtles. Plus, there are at least 15 miles between the islands and the coast...
In fact, Charriere's publisher, Robert Laffont, revealed in an interview before he died that Charriere submitted the book to him as a novel. However, Laffont, who had a true-life series of books on the go, persuaded him to present it as a true story. He also said that Charriere combined the experiences of several convicts (and we can only speculate how much they exaggerated their exploits)into his book.
Indeed, it is highly likely that the book was ghost-written anyway. Yet, you should still read it.

Corneille's masterpiece: a tragic lovers' tale that explores the conflict between duty and love
Book Description
"Couargeous...Honest...Powerful."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The classic feminist novel that awakened both women and men speaks to everyone about the deep feelings at the heart of love and relationships. A biting social commentary of an emotional world gone silently haywire, THE WOMEN'S ROOM is a modern allegory that offers piercing insight into the social norms accepted so blindly and revered so completely.

Some things have changed, some have not..........2007-03-10
For all the "Surrendeded Wife" types who think women should go back to being submissive, this book shows what it was really like. Ideally, people think of traditional roles as being protective and chivalrous toward women, but in the book, chivalry has nothing to do with it, and women are shown as being used- they do all the chores, they are told what to do, they are neglected (a lot of the ways the husbands treat their wives are now considered abuse), and finally, many of them live in poverty when their husbands find someone else. I think this is true of a lot of traditional societies- the ideal is protection, but the reality is different.
This book really shows the story of not one generation but two. Mira comes of age in the 50s and she ends up being a homemaker. I got an in-depth look at the lives of housewives. It showed that there were some joys in that life, but it also described the problems that people tried to keep under the surface. I am sure that there were also plenty of relationships that were better than the ones in this book, and there are plenty of women who were happy back then, but the problem is the insistence that every woman should be like this and only this.
Gender roles are of course based on biological differences, and in a few places this book lashes out not only at society, but at nature. The problem is that the roles apply even when the biological differences are flexible, and biology is used as an excuse to put both men and women into inflexible molds. The book shows that gender roles effect both sexes and the men in this book have problems of their own- for instance not being close to anyone in their own households.
But after getting divorced, Mira goes to college in the 60s and experiences the turbulence of that time period. I really liked Mira as a character and was happy to see her growth as a person. Her divorce was certainly for the better. I also liked her interaction with her sons. I also loved her closeness with her friends. The group of friends puts friendship at a higher priority than most people do, even daydreaming about living together as friends. This reminds me of the friendships that I used to have and the way I felt about them.
At first I thought that maybe men could read it, but I'm sure their reaction would be similar to my reaction to Omar Tyree. The only difference is, the author of this book at least showed why her characters grew to hate men. Early on, anger toward men or whites was understandable, but after establishing more rights and equality, it usually is counter-productive and just causes backlash. Of course, there is usually backlash even before full equality has been achieved.
I don't feel the same way that most of the characters end up feeling, and that's a good thing. This book can show you how many changes have occurred in a few decades, and can remind you not to take it for granted. Many women are in charge of their own lives and are excelling in their careers. Sexism sometimes effects men and in some cases it is in women's favor. Both women and men have progressed in the past decades. In my life I have been angry toward womankind as well as mankind.
But then, in some areas sexism is still abundant, and women still have to worry about sexual assault (more than men do). And early on, when Mira got married, she describes the feeling that it's the easy way out and it will keep her from having to make decisions about her life, it reminded me of me a lot.
For the whole book I was wondering who the narrator was. Her monologues were very cerebral and they were probably the part I liked least about the book. At the end of the book, Val comes to believe that all men are rapists, but that seemed more like her reaction as a character and not necessarily the author's opinion. The book makes men to be the problem, but in my experience, women are treacherous to each other and there are also plenty of decent men that get treated badly. There is maybe one example of women's backstabbing (Bliss) and maybe Martha was the woman who treated her husband badly, but mainly the book focuses on society being stacked up against women, showing every character being victimized in some way by a man, covering every possibility almost like it's from a checklist. Also, even the men that seemed decent ended up being a disappointment in the end, with the exception of Mira's sons.
Well, I guess that's a pretty big criticism for a 5 star rating, but I still really liked this book. It brings to light the similarities and differences between then and now. It has some wonderful characters and shows a lot of different points of view and thought patterns. It was very in-depth and I was totally engrossed in it.
In the late seventies, this was a short to ground.......2005-10-11
I read Women's Room in the late seventies, when the issues about which the author speaks were current and deeply felt. At the time, I didn't know a single woman who wan't blown away(intended reference) by the author's ability to connect with her inner fury. The memory of the intensity of my response remains with me today.
I would invite today's reader to imagine the social and political climate of the times before passing too harsh a judgement on the work. The realization of women's and civil rights didn't happen as a result of a single event. It was an on-going struggle that took place during an equally frustrating, long term social initiative to end the war in Vietnam. Everyone new somebody who had been lost. To whatever degree people were for or against the war, everyone shared a deep sense of frustration about the resulting national divide. In those angry times, Women's Room was a literary lightening rod to ground.
Love and Sorrow, Hope and Reconciliation.......2005-03-24
This book is a must read for anyone who is even remotely interested in how far we, as a society, have come in the struggle for equality. And how far we still have to go. From anger to joy to sadness to laughter and back again, this book dredges up all of these emotions.
The characters are pleasant, and there are so many that it's hard not to identify with at least one of them. Unfortunately, it's also hard to mix them up, which makes the reading experience less pleasant. I could hardly keep track of all the bland characters of the 50's. But not to worry, it gets much easier once we arrive in the 70's, where the characters are much more colorful, and easier to follow.
Which, in itself, shows us the large differences between these times.
Love and sorrow, hope and reconciliation. This book has it. Read it, it just might change a tiny bit of your life. It can, and probably will, open the way for a deeper exploration in the past of feminism and gender-equality.
Not what I'd been led to believe.......2004-07-03
The hype for this book promises that it will change your life. Well, mine is still travelling along quite merrily and nothing this book had to say has any impact on it. This is probably due to changing times and approaches to feminism.
The Women's Room focuses on some women who meet at university and explores their lives and loves. One thing that bugged me throughout is that the narrator (whose identity is never revealed) throws in monologue chapters that can be a little tedious. These chapters seem to be excuses to get up on a soapbox, but almost as though she is unsure of her reception, she "uses" the captive audience that is reading about the lives of a bunch of women to bang on about things that can be downright boring.
I couldn't relate to the characters. Mira, the central figure, is supposedly influenced by her upbringing, but her real problem appears to be that she has no self esteem. It wouldn't really matter what decade she was born in. Although, to her credit, she does seem to develop some right at the end. Half the characters turn to lesbianism at some point or other, which just seemed cliched.
There are references to events that I know nothing about. This further distanced me from the plot. The references appear to be things that all readers should automatically know about (that's the way it came across) and I couldn't figure out whether I was too young, too geographically removed (I'm in Australia) or whether they were figments of the author's imagination. I gave up trying to figure it out.
All in all, I didn't find this earth shattering and I wouldn't bother reading it again. If it was ever "life changing", it isn't now - not for me, anyway.
All women should read this and men too.......2004-02-21
i have read some of the responses to this book...Women who see themselves as only a mother and not a women as well, can't get this book. All the characters are three-dimensional representations of very different women. I recommend this book for anyone not trapped in the fifties "perfect life" scenario. This complex book is great fiction with a feminist undertone.
