4-0 out of 5 stars Overall Good
Overall, a good book with good ideas for getaways. Provides 2-3 day excursions, usually themed according to either environment or activities. For instance, there's the predictable Zoo/Wild Animal Park adventure, but it also gives good ideas for trips into the mountains or desert, or even a horseback themed trip. I think the ideal couple who would enjoy this is those who are near enough to make frequent trips to San Diego, but don't necessarily live here (i.e. LA). Even though I live here, I think it will be good to get away for a few of these.

I try to make the most of this city (easy to do since we love it so much!), and this book has some good items that I wasn't aware of, particularly outside the typical San Diego/Coronado/Carlsbad descriptions found in many travel books.

For an overall sightseeing guide, one would do better with Fodor's or Fromme's, but this book has some good expanded-area info, as well as some "preassembled" trips, complete with lodging recommendations. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This Book Is A Life Saver

My husband was diagnosed as terminally ill, he has lung cancer, copd, and a very weak heart. I received this book as a gift shortly after he was diagnosed, and I will be forever grateful. This book taught me how to take an active part in my husbands medical care, to not be afraid to ask questions, and one of the questions I became brave enough to ask, was about putting my husband on an oral chemo, that I had read about. The dr. patiently explained to me that this drug might help, but it also had relatively serious long term side effects. Considering my husband was only given six months to live, I felt this was a pretty good gamble. This drug has had my husband in remission for almost five years. Without this book, I would have never been brave enough to ask this question.

Nothing About Me, Without Me, is a very easy to read and understand. I would highly recommend this book. Remember, your dr is only human, and can make mistakes, with this book, you will know what kind of questions to ask, and many things to watch for. Recommend this book to all of the medical personnel that you deal with, and also all of your friends and family.

5-0 out of 5 stars We all make mistakes.
I understand that everybody makes mistakes sometimes, but I am not going to let my DOCTOR make a mistake with me! He doesn't know me like I do. "Nothing About Me, Without me" told me how to be an active part of my medical experience in order to ensure that these mistakes don't happen to me. There were also great tips on things like how to find a good doctor and how to make sure my kids are getting good care. It's also enjoyable reading! I definitely recommend refering to this book each time you go to the doctor or the hospital! ... Read more

Product Description

"Saint Beethoven!. . . . He was clad in somewhat untidy houseclothes, with a red woolen scarf wrapped round his waist; long, bushy grey hair hung in disorder from his head, and his gloomy, forbidding expression by no means tended to reassure. . . ."

When Wagner published the first collection of his writings he was pleased to admit how well he wrote, even when young. Historians and musicians ever since have agreed that some of his most important and revelatory works were written when he was first establishing his reputation in Paris and Dresden. Pilgrimage to Beethoven and Other Essays provides translations of the first two volumes of his Gesammelte Schriften (1871-1873). These works reveal how committed he was to emphasizing Germanic qualities in his music and define his opposition to the music of France and Italy.

In addition to his influential essay on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, this volume includes two early essays on Germanic myth—"The Wibelungen" and "The Nibelungen-Myth"—his homages to Carl Maria von Weber, and the complete text of his autobiographical A German Musician in Paris, with its famous "Pilgrimage to Beethoven."

The volume concludes with his "Plan of Organisation of a German National Theatre" (1849), founded upon Beethoven's moral music. Listeners "inspired by Beethoven's music have been more active and energetic citizens-of-State than those bewitched by Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti." Throughout these essays, as throughout his life, Wagner knew how to provoke.

This edition includes the complete volume 7 of the 1898 translation commissioned by the London Wagner Society.

not a very good comic. All in black and white and not much diolog. might as well read the book.

3-0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been Better
Well, I read Eureka Productions' Graphic Classics: Edgar Allan Poe (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels)), and I have to admit it - I was consequently a little disappointed in this sequel volume. While the stories in this volume were uniformly interesting (more or less), I didn't feel the artwork was up to same level as the Poe volume. (A notable exception: Michael Manning's excellent adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Thing On The Doorstep". I'll definitely keep an eye out for his (Manning's) work in the future.) Probably worth a look if you're a fan of any of the original writers, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read this one unless you're a complete horror comics nut.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great stories and wonderful illustration work
This fun little graphic novel is a collection of some twelve short stories and poems that were all written by the greats of modern horror literature - H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Saki (pen name of Hector Hugh Munro), Jack London, and others. Just as heterogeneous as the authors are the illustrators. Each of the stories was illustrated by a different artist, who drew the story as he or she saw fit, each different from the others and each excellent.

Overall, I thought that this was an excellent book, with great stories and wonderful illustration work. I think that my favorites were Lovecraft's The Thing on the Doorstep, W.W. Jacobs' Monkey's Paw, and Clark Ashton Smith's The Beast of Averoigne, with Bret Harte's Selina Sedilia being too funny to miss. Yep, this is a great book, one that my fourteen-year-old daughter and I both enjoyed and both highly recommend!

5-0 out of 5 stars Mummies, Murder and Monkey's Paws
Horror has done well for the modern incarnation of the Graphic Classics, whose series has seen such luminaries as Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft brought to life by some extremely talented cartoonists. Whether it is the short-story nature, or the ready-made visually splendid imagery, there is something in the classic horror tales thats makes them well suited to the Graphic Classics treatment.Here, in the 10th volume, they have wisely continued this tradition, and assembled an anthology of classic horror stories to chill and delight.

"Horror Classics" brings together 12 authors, some of which, like HP Lovecraft , Jack London and Ambrose Bierce, have been previously honored with their own Graphic Classics collections. Others, like Clark Ashton Smith and Honre de Balzac, appear for the first time.All of the stories are well-chosen, and the artists's styles are well-matched.

This collection contains:

"The Mummy" - Ambrose Bierce - A short and witty poem, with a sharp illustration to match it.

"The Thing at the Doorstep" - HP Lovecraft - A brilliant take on one of my favorite Lovecraft stories.The artist manages to capture the "Innsmouth look" perfectly, and uses the author's original text combined with illustrations to great effect."glub..glub...glub-glub..."You know what I mean.

"Some Words with a Mummy" - Edgar Allan Poe - A clever and light adaptation of a resurrected mummy bantering with a few scientists over which has the superior society.

"In a Far Off World" - Oliver Schreiner - An excellent, melancholy tale.One I have never read before, but am glad to be introduced to.

"The Thing at Ghent" - Honre de Balzac - Entirely dialog free, I am at a bit of a loss as to the actual story.Unfortunately, it is not such a familiar tale as to be able to divine the story from illustrations alone.The only disappointment in the lot.

"The Monkey's Paw" - WW Jacobs - Any fan of "The Simpsons" will recognize this one, although they may have never seen the original.The artist JW Pierard maintains the full weight of the original cautionary tale.Be careful what you wish for, and don't mess with unfamiliar magiks.

"The Open Window" - Saki - Another familiar tale, one that I have heard told but never knew the origin of.A clever almost-ghost story, well adapted in a simple Victorian style.

"A Day Dream" - Fitz-James O-Brien - Cartoonish musings on murder, and the high class going slumming in the Five Points.

"Keesh Son of Keesh" - Jack London - A dark and powerful tale of barbarian culture and blood-rights amongst the Native American tribes.Ryan Inzana's heavy woodblock illustrations perfectly compliment this heavy story.

"Professor Jonkin's Cannibal Plant" - Howard R. Garis - "Feed me, Seymour!" Another comedic adaptation, featuring a foolish professor and his frightening child.

"The Beast of Averoigne" - Clark Ashton Smith - A contemporary of Lovecraft, this tale of a wild comet, a haunted abbey, and the Ring of Eibon, is adapted with appropriate style.

"Selina Sedilia" - Bret Harte - A humorous look at love ever-after between two base villains.And of course, there is only one way to achieve love "ever-after."

5-0 out of 5 stars Each story is skillfully rendered into comic book format
Horror Classics is a graphic novel anthology that brings to vivid life those great tales of terror by Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and others. Each individual story is skillfully rendered into comic book format by a different artist, who uses black-and-white imagery to perfectly capture moments of terror. An engrossing introduction to the classics of horror for those new to the literary experience, and an exciting fresh take on great stories for those who have read them a hundred times before.

Product Description

Near the end of his life, Richard Wagner supervised the publication of his collected writings, providing an extensive view of his thoughts about art and politics from his youth to his final period of triumph. After his death, there was still more to be told: his admirers discovered a large number of writings he had forgotten, misplaced, never published, or had chosen to omit from his collected works. This volume, the last of eight volumes now reprinted by the University of Nebraska Press, collects the most illuminating of those works.
 
The title work, “Jesus of Nazareth,” was written in 1848 or 1849; its composition coincided with the most widespread revolutionary ferment seen in Europe. It expresses Wagner’s own revolutionary ideals, thoroughly justified (or so he thought) by Jesus and the early Church. At the time Wagner considered Jesus as a revolutionary leader whose struggles with authority and traditions were much like his own.<br><br>The opening work is “Siegfried’s Death,” a poem written in 1848 that set the tone for his most famous operatic work, the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen. Whole sections of the poem were later incorporated into the fourth Ring opera, Gotterdammerung, but the differences are as revealing as the carryover.
 
The essays that Wagner published in journals but saw fit to exclude from his Gesammelte Schriften might have embarrassed the elderly sage but are key documents to Wagner’s activities in his revolutionary period. For example, his ardently prorevolutionary essay, “The Revolution,” would have displeased the wealthy patrons of his later years.
 
This edition includes the full text of volume 8 of the translation of Wagner’s works published in 1899 for the London Wagner Society.

4-0 out of 5 stars Wagner's Collected Writings, Volume 8
Late in life, Wagner published his complete writings: Gesammelte Schriften (GS). In the 1890's, William Ashton Ellis translated them and they were published in English in 8 volumes. They were originally published by London:Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. as "Richard Wagner's Prose Works". In 1995, they were reprinted in this country.Title not withstanding, this is volume 8 of that set. This volume contains various bits and pieces that were not a part of the original GS, and is more like an appendix to the original series. There are some important pieces, but in the end it is not that much more valuable than the other 7 volumes in the series.

1)The first piece is the complete, original prose poem for Siegfried's Tod (50 pages). It has the happy ending where Siegfried and Brunnhilde enter Valhalla together rather than Ragnarok.
2)The next section (200 pages) is labled by Ellis as "Discarded". These are not really discards, but were not included by Wagner probably because he did not have access to them while preparing GS. These works are essays, letters, and articles of little importance (you can probably skip every other sentence while reading them and not miss anything of importance).
3)The next section contains sketches for potential operas: "Die Sarazenin" (25 pages) whose plot bears a striking similarity to Rienzi, "Das Liebesmahl der Apostel" (5 pages) which Wagner composed as an independent choral piece, and "Jesus of Nazareth" (60 pages), Wagner's risible attempt to rewrite the New Testament.
4)The last section (60 pages) is a mish mash of unpublished fragments found in various manuscripts. It begins with "Kunstlerthum der Zukunft" - Artisthood of the Future (20 pages). In spite of its incomplete state, I found this essay to be more decipherable than most of Wagner's other pieces, but only because it contains his main points without the usual rhetorical conflations. You will also find a brief, one page prose sketch for "Die Sieger", another potential opera but this time about Ananda, Prakriti, and Buddha (here, the theme is unrequited love, and the plot is similar to Tristan).

For those who are interested in the other 7 volumes of this series, here are the titles: The Art-Work of the Future (volume 1), Opera and Drama (volume 2), Judaism in Music (volume 3), Art and Politics (volume 4), Actors and Singers (volume 5), Religion and Art (volume 6), and Pilgrimage to Beethoven (volume 7). Note that the book titles were assigned by the American publishers (Bison Books), and are merely the name of just one of the essays in the book and do not constitute the entire book's contents.The exception is Opera and Drama, which is a book-length essay constituting the entirety of volume 2.

4-0 out of 5 stars THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO...RICHARD WAGNER?
More than just a dry run for his liturgical Christian music drama PARSIFAL, the German composer's personal look at the life of Christ merges the traditional Passion story with his own brand of revolutionary politics,proving true novelist Reynolds Price's words that "virtually allpost-Gospel lives of Jesus [have] told us far more about their authors thantheir subject."Yet for a man so often identified with anti-Semitism,readers will be surprised that Wagner's mystery play is remarkably free ofracial bias or slurs.Not only are the Jews not scapegoated as theChrist-killers of Medieval lore, but the portrayal of Judas as a heroicfreedom fighter echoes the portrait in Nikos Kazantzakis' THE LASTTEMPTATION OF CHRIST.(One wonders if this interpretation tricked down toKazantzakis during his intensive studies of Wagner friend-turned-foeFriedrich Nietzsche.)

All in all, fascinating material not only formusicologists, historians, and Wagnerites, but for those interested in theChristology as seen though the eyes of historical personages. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

A master of mystery and paradox, Wagner spent his life composing himself while composing music. Written between 1864 and 1878, the essays in Art and Politics converge upon Wagner’s desire to define and reform German culture. He was deeply annoyed that Germany seemed to satisfy itself with cheap theater, vulgar songs, and clumsy imitations of French art. In “What Is German?” he declared that German culture must rise above the common ruck. Citing “Music’s wonderman” Johann Sebastian Bach as his precursor, Wagner fought to persuade his readers that German culture had a historic destiny, and that destiny was shaped first and foremost by music.
 
As usual, embroiled in the defense of his operas and his person, Wagner recognized that his rescue from attack and poverty could not be expected from “Franco-Judaico-German democracy.” He instead fixed his hopes elsewhere: “the embodied voucher” for fundamental law, the Monarch. He found himself at a turning point in his career. In 1864 King Ludwig II of Bavaria befriended Wagner and gave him badly needed financial support. This alliance aroused Wagner’s enemies into further fits of jealousy. Yet, amid the public scorn, he worked on the production of Tristan und Isolde, drafted the libretto for Parsifal, and composed sections of Siegfried and Die Meistersinger.
 
In these essays Wagner resumes his considerations of the close ties between religion and art. He calls art “the kindly Life-saviour who does not really and wholly lead us out beyond this life, but, within it, lifts us up above it and shews it as itself a game of play.” These essays express his artistic credo and the knowledge of German literature that underpinned his claims for German genius. Following his ideals, he proclaimed his intention to raise the quality of German opera, by himself if necessary.
 
This edition includes the full text of volume 4 of the translation of Wagner’s works commissioned in 1895 by the London Wagner Society.
