Mary wore a long blue dress, tied round the waist, and a cap with pieces of money sewn round it, and a white cloth over her head and shoulders, just as the women of Nazareth do now; and Jesus was very likely dressed in a red cap, a bright tunic, a sash of many colours, and a little jacket of white or blue, just as the boys of Nazareth are dressed now.

The houses of Nazareth are white. Grape vines grow over their walls, and doves sit and coo on the flat roofs. There is not much inside the houses: sometimes they have only one room. There is a lamp in the middle of the room, and round the walls there are waterpots. There are bright-coloured quilts on a shelf. People unroll these quilts at night and lie down upon them. There are mats and carpets in the house, and a bright-coloured box with treasures in it, and a painted wooden stool; and that is nearly all.

Said it before but I'll say it again - short books make the best movies, because they get to actually add things in - extra scenes, action, character development - rather th

A pretty exhausting read. The opening is quite boring, takes some time to get into the rhythm. The book mainly explores the Commander's way of thinking during combat and the way he deals with all the ongoing stress.

C. S. Forester was the pen name of English novelist Cecil Louis Troughton Smith (1899-1966). He wrote one of my favorite books/movies “The African Queen”. “The Greyhound” also published under the name “The Good Shepherd” was published in 1955. This book was also made into a movie.

Not one of Forester's best novels, still a serviceable story of WW2 naval warfare, in the Battle of the Atlantic. Cmdr. Krause is a career officer in the US navy but the convoy escort mission he's leading is his first experienc

As a young recruit in the US Navy, one of the more important doctrines drilled into my mind was that authority could be delegated, but responsibility never departs from the person in command.
