Hindi Visual Dictionary - a mixed effort, By
This review is from: Hindi-English Visual Bilingual Dictionary (DK Bilingual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
I am currently learning some Hindi in preparation for a trip to India later this year; it is a language I've got much interest in owing to my passion for Indian culture - I'd already picked up some basics from the lyrics of various Bollywood films! However I have mixed feelings about this Visual Dictionary - below are my personal positives and negatives.Pro: This book is undeniably nice to look at and is a joy to casually flip through. The huge range of areas covered, organised thematically, is a big plus point. The giving of words in both Roman and Devanagari is particularly useful, as is the brief section at the end covering common phrases and useful grammatical words. Additionally the dictionary is handily sized and quite cheap. Con: Like the other reviewers here I find the whole 'one size fits all approach' of these Visual Dictionaries to be rather disconcerting. The publishers are to be commended on releasing dictionaries for Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi etc... Read more

Useful and Practical Reference, By
This review is from: Hindi-English Visual Bilingual Dictionary (DK Bilingual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
As a complete beginner learning Hindi I found this to be an accessible and user friendly reference to Hindi vocabulary, using both Hindi script and transliterated Hindi. The book is divided into categories e.g. shopping, food, study, travel, work etc. enabling quick access to words relevant to a number of purposes. There is also a helpful reference guide and index at the back of the book. I would definitely recommend this book to learners of the Hindi language.

One-style fits all languages is a flawed approach, By
This review is from: Hindi-English Visual Bilingual Dictionary (DK Bilingual Dictionaries) (Paperback)
It is a great idea to have a visual dictionary, but this book follows the flawed approach of many publishers who want to put out a single product in as many languages as possible. It uses the same set of pictures and words no matter what the language is!So there is, for example, a spread on architecture. Lovely big picture of the inside and outside of a massive cathedral. This page is chock full of useless words such as: frieze, spire, pediment, neoclassical, choir. The page also has a set of words with no Hindi equivalent: rococo, baroque, renaissance, gothic, art nouveau, and art deco. The learner needs a much more practical approach, based on commonly used words. Language is intimately connected with culture, and the one-style fits all approach tries to give language without context. Or worse, you get an Asian language taught using European images and culture. I'm sure some people will find the book useful, and because the price is fairly... Read more |

 Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

| Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada | ||
|
His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
