(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Chagall, a postcard book



Chagall, a postcard book
Author: ?
Score: does not apply to my needs or likes
Year: 1990
Publisher: Running Press 
ISBN 0-89471-806-1
Pages Not numbered. 2 pages of text, and 30 full-color postcards with text on flip side

Language: English

I found this tiny book  (12.7X1.9X18.4 CM) on the shelves today, in search of small and easy books to read, as I've been fatigued. 
I found only 2 small pages of texts explaining a bit of Chagall's subjects of art, and then it's followed by 30 full-color postcards of some of his countless pieces.

The flip side tells of the whereabouts of each piece, at least as of 1990. Most in museums, bit a few in synagogues, as Chagall depicted several Jewish religious iconographies such as tribes, or biblical scenes. 

I found none to please my aesthetic preferences, not in colors, nor in subjects, nor in style ; and shall move on from this tiny book to another.
