Čitam dok vani sniježi...I read while it's snowing outside

Završila sam s čitanjem "Družbe Isusove" (Šotola), "Zvijezde Babilona" (Wood) i "Kodeksa" (Grossman)..da, da...čitam uvijek nekoliko knjiga odjednom :)

I finished reading "Society of Jesuits" (Šotola), "Stars of Babylon"(Wood) and "Codex "(Grossman) .. yes, yes ... I always reading several books at once:)

Prva knjiga je bila relativno zanimljiva, povijesni roman, ali primjenjiv na suvremeni svijet. Ipak, ne bih je čitala ponovo. Druga - unatoč više no zanimljivoj temi - propast aleksandrijske knjižnice, bijeg knjižničara s onim što su uspjeli spasiti...skok u današnji svijet, mlada arheologinja kojoj umirući profesor daje zadatak da nađe Zvijezdu Babilona (uz pomoć zgodnog profesorova sina - policajca :))...potraga...Aleksandrijci, tajnija sekta od templara...njihov cilj i opstanak kroz stoljeća...zločini... - zapravo je puka zabava za dokone trenutke kad ne želimo zaposliti mozak. No, treća knjiga...Kodeks...

"Kodeks Leva Grossmana uzbudljiv je i inteligentan, iako ponešto izmješten i neobičan suvremeni triler. Naizgled eruditski i hermetičan zaplet izgrađen oko potrage za tajnovitim srednjovjekovnim rukopisom slabo poznatog Chaucerovog suvremenika pretvara se, u najboljoj Ecovskoj maniri, u napetu i razgranatu priču u kojoj se susreću svjetovi visoke i niske, drevne i moderne, pismene i virtualne kulture."

Čitajući "Kodeks" saznat ćete kako funkcioniraju poznate, velike knjižnice koje dobivaju vrijedne donacije, kako je složeno proučavanje srednjovjekovne književnosti, što su uskršnja jaja u aplikacijama koje pišu programeri, koje su engleske titule i njihova hijerarhija, od čega su se izrađivali kodeksi, kako se doživljavalo autorsko vlasništvo u srednjem vijeku, kako se skrivaju stranice pergamenta, što je steganogram, metoda littera textura (istkane riječi), palimpsest itd. itd. :)

The first book was relatively interesting, historical novel, but is applicable to the contemporary world. However, I wold not read that book again. The second - despite more than an interesting topic: destruction of the Alexandrian librarie, librarians escape with what they managed to save ... jump in today's world, a young archaeologist and the dying professor who gives her a task to find the Star of Babylon (with his handsome son - a police officer:)) ... search... Alexandrians, secret society... and their target, survival through the centuries ... crimes ... - It is actually a mere fun for idle moments when you do not want to employ the brain. However, the third book - Codex ... ...
"Lev Grossman's Codex is an exciting and intelligent, although somewhat removed and unusual contemporary thriller. Intellectual and hermetic built around the search for the mysterious medieval manuscript poorly known Chaucer's contemporaries becomes, in the best manner of Ecco, in tense and diversified story in which they meet the worlds of high and low, ancient and modern, written and virtual culture"
Reading the "Codex" you'll learn how to operate well-known, large libraries that receive a valuable donation, how complex is study of medieval literature, what are Easter eggs in applications and games, you will learn about English titles and their hierarchy, from which material people made codex, how as percivied copyright ownership in the Middle Ages, what is steganogram, methods "littera textura" (woven words), palimpsest, etc., etc.
