Rereading Heart of Darkness- Slightly Racist & Also Anti-Colonialist
Переглядів 413Рік тому
Hi guys, rereading and reevaluating the classic Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad after first having read it in my childhood. Do you think it has racist undertones a little bit or is it simply depicting an unimaginably horrible situation and time in history with as much accuracy as it can muster? It's not a simple work to make sense of and I'd love to hear what you guys have to add. Lots of lo...

such a beautiful and succinct review! i enjoy the parallels you draw from other stories and history as well sd your in-depth analysis and thoughts on the book. looking forward to hearing more from you :)
You are doing a really great job. Just a suggestion that you should work on communication skills and body language a bit. I'm sure you've got the ability to hit the sky. Cheers.
Thanks for the review, just ordered one :)
🎉 very nicely explain but fluency needs little more clearance
Loved how you introduced the book hubby :) So cute
Thank you 🌹😊

From goalgappa loving father to his daughter. Lovely video and beautifully reviewed. Looking forward to your husband's pitching in and expressing his own openion on books under review. Being a prolific reader and possessing intellectual depth, I am sure he will contribute profoundly.

I love how you're talking about the books <3
Best place for book lovers❤️❤️
is there a fiction section?
Yes.
Great analysis, I enjoyed hearing your insight into this groundbreaking novel. I read Dune for the first time just recently. Have you read any of the sequels?
Thank you for your kind words and for watching, no I haven't read the sequels of Dune 😊
Nice effort
I am from India you have looks to die for 🥀🌹💓
Liked the review, but don't you think the simple language did justice given the background and types of characters? Like a good flowery or inspiring language won't go well with the teenagers who are immature and kind of rebellious.
That is a very interesting point you have mentioned, I think the simplicity of her language renders her work less impressive but there is something to be said about the fact that perhaps the novel is meant for a younger or teenage audience, although that hasn't been made clear anywhere that it's YA fiction etc so I guess we'll never know. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

Nicely reviewed, especially when you said Mueenuddin doesn't resort to cheap tricks. It's one of my favourite books. I've been eagerly waiting for his next book ever since I read this. Would you be able to recommend few good books on Pakistan?
Really interesting video! 😊 I love books and encyclopaedias by DK, although I haven't checked out their "Big Book" series yet. Which ones would you recommend? I'll be sure to to give the Bloody Chamber a try too, sounds quite promising. P.S. I love the fact that you didn't cut out the funny bits, especially the part where light went out, and another one when you dropped the book. 😂 Great work, and keep going! 👍 Looking forward to more videos. 😊
Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words. I'd definitely recommend the philosophy and literature big books although I do like the economics one too. But in general they're all wonderful. Glad you found those parts funny!
O need rujuta and marie kondo books
Can u help me for 2nd hand books
Hi, please check or ask for your required secondhand books at any old bookstore in your city. There is never a guarantee that any bookstore will have the books you need, you need to keep checking or ask them to obtain them for you. I don't know of any secondhand book website at the moment. Hope that helps.
I need few 2nd hand books
Book spark joy
Can I get 2nd hand books of rujuta and marie kondo?
Plz give answer as urgent as possible
@@ahsanizhar8560 I don't know if this bookshop has books from these two authors in stock, you will need to call them and ask.
Phone no
Thanks For Making Vlogs For Readers. Love With Your Content Mam ☺️💞

Every time I visit Islamabad I love to visit this book shop;every time I find some interesting books.
Yes it does have some obscure books as well which is always good.
Being a beginner what would you suggest me to read from English literature... I personally like autobiographies and books based on realistic events...
I think it's great you enjoy non-fiction and there's nothing wrong with letting that form the bulk of your reading. However if you're getting started on English literature you can pick up novels that do coincide with a set of real events (which is your interest) or are a commentary on them such as Animal Farm or 1984. If you scroll down my videos list I've reviewed dozens of shorter novels as well and I'm sure you'll find one you would want to pick up. Hope that helps.
Yeah, this is exactly what Houellebecq does. He often has interesting topics, but what he makes of it and his misogynistic and racist writing is killing it for me. In case you are interested, Konrad from 7 Days at Sea made a discussion series about Disgrace. I had some issues with this book as well and there was an interesting discussion going on in the comments section.
So true, I don't think I'll be picking up anything else written by him any time soon. Thank you for referring me to that discussion, I'll definitely go check it out 😊
I highly appreciate your videos bakhtawar. Please make reviews on books of Russian authors like tolstoy and dostoevsky. Would love to listen your take on Russian literature.
Thank you, that's very kind. I'll be sure to include some videos on Russian literature soon!
Always a pleasure, watching your review. Glad you're doing these with more regularity. What's your take on Danial Mueenuddin and Raja Anwar?
Thank you very much for watching and actually I did do a video on Daniyal Mueenuddin's short stories I think 2 years ago - if you search typing that or scroll down my video list, you should find it. I haven't read anything by Raja Anwar.
