Tom Powers
Alhambra Valley Pubns, 2002
It's "Simply" a great bargain!
As the owner of grapeseek.com I am constantly receiving complimentary copies of grape growing books and this is one that really sticks out in my mind for the new or even experienced grower that wants his or her own vineyard. It describes the whole process from beginning to end and even tells you what you should be doing each month of the year and where to aquire the materials you need . Even if ...
The Alhambra In Focus (The Alhambra and Generalife In Focus)

A truly excellent guide book
Make sure you get this guidebook BEFORE you actually visit Alhambra. The descriptions of the site and surrounding gardens in the Lonely Planet and Fodor's are worthless compared to the wealth of information and the beautifully-rendered illustrations to be found in this book. Sure it's a little pricey, but it's definitely worth the money and will be a great resource to take away with you ...
Tales of the Alhambra

Washington Irving

A Classic Written by an American Classical Author!
This wonderful book written by a well-loved American author details his travels in Spain, and more specifically in the Castle Alhambra. These tales are delightful, and seemlessly weave from fact to fiction to history to folklore. It is a true travel log, done oh so many years ago, and done with Irving's whimcical and enchanting style. The sketches give a good description of Spain and travel in ...

NIEBLA... like nothing you have ever read before!!!
" Ni los recuerdos ni los suenos son tan efimeros como la NIEBLA" This book deals with human emotions, thoughts and fears in a deep, meaningful and funny way. It has a little bit of everything, private conversations with God, the search for the true meaning of life, the quest to find an everlasting love, the fear of facing death, and the hardships that every single human faces during a lifetime. ...

Brothers Of The West review.
I have the book Brothers of the West on the lives of Robert Livingston and his brother Jack Randall. Author Merrill McCord's research and in-depth detail is superior. His personal interviews from others, such as director William Witney, on the 2 brothers go back 20 years and must number in the 100's. There is about one full page on each of the brothers' films. Plus lots of good photos and much, ...
Lord Arthur Saville's crime (Textos bilingües Alhambra)
3 reviews
Oscar Wilde
Alhambra, 1961
Don't believe superficial certainties
Lord Saville one night listens to a chiromantist who tells him he has to commit a crime, whose victim is supposed to be a relative of some kind, before being able to marry his love. The tale is full of humor and shows how he fails, systematically, in his enterprise, because he believes the soothsayer. But the more humoristic the tale becomes, the more desperate Lord Saville grows. Till one night ...

forgotten classic
When we were kids, we had a card game called Authors. I think the object was to be able to name the works of famous authors. At any rate, there were three titles that always seemed especially enticing: Idylls of the King, The Heart of Midlothian and Tales of the Alhambra. Thirty years later, I picked this one up with some trepidation; we've all struggled through classics of two hundred years ...

Nobu; Edwards, Mark Matsuhisa
Alhambra Edition, 2006
Nobu West
We all knew that Nobu Matsuhisa is a great cook, but the way he combined the west cooking with the east and his influences from Peru is just grandious. I would consider the best book I bought in years. Simple to follow, extremely well documented and the pictures are just marvelous. For an amateur like me, an excellent purchase to explore further the pleasures of life.

Fractured Fairy Tale and/or Horror Story on Capitalism

An Earth Dweller's Return
This marvelous book is a sequel to A DWELLER ON TWO PLANETS. The book is comprised of 22 incarnations of the principal character, Rexdahl, as he lived them after he was Mainin, High Priest of Caiphul. There are many esoteric truths woven throughout: the elementary principles of receptivity, reciprocity, and intensification, plus the laws of biochemistry as they pertain to the immortalization of ...

Julio Verne
Alhambra, 1992
Recommended as a faithful translation
If you are looking for a English translation of JTTCOTE that is faithful to Verne's French one, this one (and a couple others) has been recommended to me by members of the North American Jules Verne Society ([...]). Verne has been poorly translated since the novels were first published and he has received unfair reviews based on those poor translations. I think we owe it to this brilliant man to ...

Excellent edition of the Libro de buen amor
Libro de buen amor, by Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita. Edited by Alberto Blecua for Letras Hispánicas. ISBN 8437610117. Ordinarily I do not review books which I have not finished reading; but because this edition of the Libro de buen amor has received no reviews, and because my review will deal primarily with the edition and not with the work itself, I'll add my two cents. Here's the table ...

It is a great book for anyone who plans to visit this Last Stronghold of the Moors in Spain, or just to remember its enchanted halls, and courts. If you have never been there, this ...

Julio Verne
Alhambra, 1992
Excellent, Updated Translation
For those rereading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea after many years of telling yourself it was time to read it again, you will find William Butcher' translation quite a surprise. Not only quite accurate but you find additional chapters, not found in earlier translations. The sixty pages of "Explanatory Notes" puts a whole new slant on the story.
