Near the end of the trip, I went in to a bookstore in Dubrovnik and asked if they had any cookbooks in English. This was the book that the clerk showed me. So I bought it and read it on the plane home. I am now ordering several copies for friends who made the trip with us. The author's story ...             They Were Expendable (Bluejacket Books)8 reviews William Lindsay White US Naval Institute Press, 1998 An emotional saga of American military defeat This is not a book to read as history, in the sense of seeking facts and figures about an event in the past. "They Were Expendable" is ostensibly an account of the exploits of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3, which gained glory amidst the disaster that was America's defense of the Philippine Islands in the opening months of the war with Japan (December 1941 - May 1942). But this is wartime ...             My Dog Tulip (New York Review Books Classics)19 reviews J.R. Ackerley NYRB Classics, 1999 Reviewers Trash Classic!!! Who is Kerry Fried, and why is s/he reviewing this classic? I read this book several years ago. As a story of a female shepherd and her owner, it is brutally honest, to the detail. Ackerley as a dog person, seems so indulgent and feeble. While reading, one must be mindful that the events took place in the 40's and in Briton. Perhaps he never had a dog before, and knew no better. Pups, off leash ...             The Iliad: Volume II, Books 13-24 (Loeb Classical Library No. 171) Homer Loeb Classical Library, 1925 Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of Homer's stirring heroic account of the Trojan war and its passions. The eloquent and dramatic epic poem captures the terrible anger of Achilles, "the best of the Achaeans," over a grave insult to his personal honor and relates its tragic result-a chain of consequences that proves devastating for the Greek forces besieging Troy, for noble Trojans, and for Achilles himself. The poet gives us ...             Hippocrene Children's Illustrated Croatian Dictionary3 reviews Deborah Dumont Hippocrene Books, 2005 Love it sure it's for kids, but I used it to help an adult learn a few words here and there. great for amateurs.             Cooking in Croatia & Bosnia: 425 Croatian and Bosnian Recipes4 reviews Karmela Kis BookSurge Publishing, 2005 simple, easy to use, some delicious dishes Enjoyed preparing some of Croatian dishes.

We've planned a trip to Serbia in a 2010 and I'm quite eager to be as independent as I can be. After purchasing this book I've been studying it for about 2 months now, him and I are both quite surprised at how much I've learned.

My husband and I have studied a lot of foreign languages. We found Teach Yourself Croatian to be one of the best organized texts we have seen. It was excellent for getting the "big-picture" structure as well as the details of grammar and vocabulary. We were at an advantage in that we had studied other Slavic languages before taking on Croatian. The text might be difficult for those without prior ...             My Father and Myself (New York Review Books Classics)10 reviews J.R. Ackerley NYRB Classics, 1999 A true classic - and important document. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I've only just finished reading it for the second time. I'm still in shock and awe. Such a story. Such a candid and engaging chronicle of one man's life and also the life of his father. Ackerley was a pioneer of "gay" literature. This is his masterpiece (without question). A more open and honest depiction of a gay man's sexual life (his ...             Pimsleur Croatian: Learn to Speak and Understand Croatian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's ...8 reviews Pimsleur Pimsleur, 2005 Update Effective October 2008, there will be three levels of the Pimsleur Croatian Language Program available. 1) Basic Croatian which covers lessons 1-10 on 5 CDs.

Imagine fair play the faint dream of centuries; a spiritual aspiration carried as low flame into ever-present darkness. What if tending this flame became an inescapable duty?

What if they were carried off to hopeless incarceration for the merest whiff ...             Langenscheidt's Universal Dictionary Croatian14 reviews Langenscheidt Langenscheidt Publishers, 1988 Excellent resource. This is unsurpassed for a pocket dictionary. I have found few English/Croatian dictionaries to be as accurately translated or as in depth.

So I tried getting this book to relearn some of the language before going back to Hungary this year. It helped me do just that, and I was able to converse with plenty of non-English speaking Hungarians. This is a well-written book. But how much will this book help you if you ...             Teach Yourself Serbian Complete Course2 reviews David Norris, Vladislava Ribnikar McGraw-Hill, 2003 Very usefull indeed!
