This is criticism at its best.. In so doing, he uncovers the truth that all our attempts to call any strong work more sacred than another are merely political and social formulations. Bloom surveys with majestic view the literature of the West from the Old Testament to Samuel Beckett. He provocatively rereads the Yahwist (or J) writer, Jeremiah, Job, Jonah, the Iliad, the Aeneid, Dante's Divine Comedy, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, the Henry IV plays, Paradise Lost, Blake's Milton, Wordsworth's Prelude, and works by Freud, Kafka, and Beckett

. The result is often provoking, but always stimulating. Cooksey, Armstrong State Coll., Savannah, Ga.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Taking Oscar Wilde's premise that criticism is "the only civilized form of autobiography," Bloom uses the 1987-88 Norton Lectures to present his personal encounter with Western authors from the author of the Hebrew Bible to Freud and Beckett. It is instead, he argues, an attempt to represent the unrepresentablethat is, the sublime. Specifically, Bloom considers the poet's struggle with the boundaries of meaning and truth to represent God.

As a new Hyrulian knight,Link is unhappy when things get out of his control and princess Zelda is kidnapped by the mysterious shadow Link.Link gets transported to the four sword sanctuary where he splits into four Links.A Link wearing red clothes,a Link wearing blue clothes,a Link wearing puple clothes,and a Link wearing green clothes.I'm only 8, but from my point of veiw,this is a great book.If you are a Zelda fan,or someone who just likes it you should buy this book.. He can't control his cat, even outside the Bayou and that is bad news. This book has a greater number of demerits than merits. Also wonderful is Moore's explanations of temporal theory and his understanding and presentation of the Battle of Gettysburg. God is the great "I AM" and what He says about right and wrong remain forever, but cultures and cultural norms do change.I am an unabashed evangelical who is more comfortable in a liturgical setting and my travels in the military have given me the chance to experience a wide variety of settings in a wide variety of churches in a wide variety of denominations. Gerry Stribling breaks down the five precepts, four noble truths, eightfold path and a little history of Gautama Siddhārtha. I love the combination of real life stories and real life lessons. I have been drinking so I apologize for my rambling. Good book and songs but over
