This, the first audio-biography of Marcel Proust, tells the story of one of the world's most original and admired literary geniuses. From his youth in the salons of Belle Epoque Paris, we follow his progress through to his later years when, as a near recluse, he writes through the nights in his cork-lined bedroom.

Proust and Thoreau
Revisado: 01-30-08
Marcel Proust was in France what Thoreau was in America. This book brings to light the reasons for which Proust wrote his famous work A la recherche du temps perdu. It is fascinating however it will be only enjoyed by well-read individuals.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 274
For 200 years, a noble Venetian family has suffered from an inherited disease that strikes their members in middle age, stealing their sleep, eating holes in their brains, and ending their lives in a matter of months. In Papua New Guinea, a primitive tribe is nearly obliterated by a sickness whose chief symptom is uncontrollable laughter. Across Europe, millions of sheep rub their fleeces raw before collapsing. What these strange conditions share is their cause: prions.

Prion and illnesses
Revisado: 01-30-08
This is an excellent book for those individuals who have diseases for which scientists have not yet found a cure such as Parkinson's disease and any other one caused by the deterioration of proteins. The book is very well-written for the lay person and it is quite entertaining as well.

In the first post-9/11 account of the career of the man who established himself as "America's Mayor" in the dark days after America was attacked, Fred Siegel shows how Rudy Giuliani's successes in New York set a promising example for the rejuvenation of our major cities.

Do not Vote for Giuliani
Revisado: 12-06-07
After reading this fabulously written biography of Rudy, I came to the conclusion that he was a GREAT mayor for New York but he will be a disaster as President of the United States of America.
Put Giuliani in charge of Detroit, which is now the most dangerous city in the country but let's keep him away from the White House.
