There's some things!

A summer seminar of my school starts soon.
So I need various preparation.
To my students, it's so important.
Especially, mathematics has a certain kind of deepness.
Sold textbooks for a summer seminar cannot fulfill my need.
I'll consult my friend about it.

My first impression of "The Brothers Karamazov"

I'm reading a book "The Brothers Karamazov" written by Dostoevskii, translated by Kameyama Ikuo.
Kameyama's translation is very good. So the novel turns to a plain Japanese text.
The brothers Karamazov means three brothers.
But rather, the father is a very funky, impressive man.

"Republican Tradition in Europe"

I was searching for the book "Republican Tradition in Europe" written by Herbert A. L. Fisher.
But I cannot find it in Amazon.co.jp.
So I access Amazon.com, but I cannot find the new book. Though there are the used books.
Then I remember a search engine.
When I search the title of the book, so I can find this page:

The most pages are readable on the PDF file images!

I need to use a library because there are unreadable pages.

"Love Story"

I read Erich Segal's famous book "Love Story", retold by Rosemary Border.
It was quite sad.
When I have an occasion, I'd like to watch the movie or to read the original story.
