The day I finished " The woman in white"



In general, it is a remarkably good story for its age, as it was written in the year 1859, with the significant detailed writing technique  of that era...

Despite that, in my humble opinion , I consider it a boring novel with a great plot.
 If you have a good deal of free time and a lot of patience you will be able to finish it (as for myself I finished it in 2 weeks) but still you won't be able to read every single line, you will have to skip some boring unnecessary paragraphs and to scan quickly through them to find the important details.

 The edition I read is an "Everyman's" (one of my favourites) with a good introduction and a chronology of  the author's life.

Book Preview : Moses and Monotheism 1939

  The English Translation done by: Katherine Jones. In a clear well established English Translation, shocking truth, or some historical premises are to be established.   The first part of the book answers the question of the origins of Moses, whether he was an Egyptian or not? How?, accompanied with some proves from the old Egyptian language.   Moving on to the second part, comes the question of whether the previously proven fact has to do anything with the Egyptian king Ikhnaton . What is the relation between Moses and the later king? This is what Freud tried to answer. Then smoothly he draws a conclusion, that if Moses was an Egyptian he must have transmitted his religion to the Jews, which was the religion of Aton. Undeniably a comparison here had to be established first to prove the previous conclusion, which is a comparison between the Jewish religion and the religion of Aton. This comparison draws the attention of one of the oldest Egyptian customs, ci...

The story of Phones and Potatoes Part I (Based on true events)

  Phones and Potatoes is the name of a company, that is supposedly getting agents to call people on behalf of other real estate companies. But this is not what is our story about! Neither it is about the VIP Ms. (M) the big big brain and the founder of the project in Egypt, this is only the professional side of the story! Nor it is about the lesbo manager AKA trainer and her wife and their perfect relationship, this is just the romantic part of our story, but not mainly what is our story about! It’s just a story about some people who were looking for a job! Three and a half completely different people, the first is an obscure male, the second and the third are normal people seeking a job….and if you are wondering about the half, it was represented by a photo of a nice girl but we are not sure if she really existed or not!   A quick hint on our company: The name phones and potatoes is derived from the funny thought of someone funny who found it funny to give i...
