Behind Amazon's quirky smile logo lurks a cold and calculating giant machine. Author Kalpanik S. reveals his own smile as he tells the somewhat quirky story of his complex, and often hilarious, relationship with Amazon. From the sophisticated wit in his portrayal of the courtship period in "How To Get Hired By Amazon In Ten Days", to the dark humor of the disillusionment period in "The Cold, Calculating Machine", Kalpanik's story is more than just an insider's view of the giant machine known as Amazon.com. It's a modern, universal story of the uneasy relationship between an individual and today's gargantuan corporations. In the end, it is also a story of redemption for creative and free thinking individuals that define America.

Hinter schrulligen Lächeln Amazon-Logo verbirgt sich ein kalt und berechnend gigantischen Maschine. Autor Kalpanik S. offenbart seine eigene Lächeln, als er den etwas schrulligen Geschichte seines erzählt, und oft urkomisch, das Verhältnis zu Amazon. Von seinem anspruchsvollen Witz in seiner Darstellung der Zeit seiner Bewerbung in "How To Get Hired By Amazon In Ten Days”, zu dem dunklen Humor der Zeit der Ernüchterung in “The Cold, Calculating Machine”, ist Kalpanik Geschichte mehr als nur ein Insider-Blick in die riesige Maschine die man als Amazon.com kennt. Es ist eine moderne, universelle Geschichte der schwierige Beziehung zwischen einer Person und der heutigen gigantischen Konzernen. Am Ende ist es auch eine Geschichte der Erlösung für kreative und freigeistige Menschen, die definieren, Amerika.

BEKENNTNISSE EINES IM AUTOR

Ich muss gestehen, dass Englisch meine dritte Sprache ist, und, obwohl ich drei professionelle Englisch-Editoren zum Preis von Tausenden von Dollar einsetzte, ist es offensichtlich - auch zu mir, dass dieses Buch von einem im Ausland geboren Autor geschrieben wurde.

Im Ausland geboren oder nicht, ich glaube, ich habe ein Talent fürs Geschichten erzählen, und ich habe ein dumpfes Thema - die Umwandlung von Amazon von einem Einzelhandelsunternehmen Website zu einem Marktplatz - in eine interessante und lebendige Geschichte verwandelt.

Also, wenn Sie für eine tausend-seitige Abhandlung über Amazon, die als Beispiel für perfekte Grammatik in der Hohen Schule der englischen Grammatik Klasse verwendet wird suchen, dann wird dieses Buch vielleicht nicht das richtige für Sie sein. Halten Sie hier - es gibt viele andere Bücher über Amazon mit perfekter Grammatik, die auch perfekt langweilig sind!

Nun, ein Buch über Amazon kann ziemlich trocken sein, deshalb habe ich versucht, etwas Humor hinzuzufügen. In meinem Versuch dieses Buch lustig zu machen, kann ich ein paar Fakten gestreckt haben. Die Herausforderung mit Humor ist, dass nicht alle Versuche, witzig zu sein erfolgreich sind, und nicht jeder versteht alle Witze. Im Allgemeinen, wenn etwas wirklich merkwürdig oder seltsam klingt, dann ist das mein Versuch witzig zu sein.

Schließlich, zitiere ich diese Passage aus „ 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com“ von Mike Daisey, ein gemeinsamer Amazon Alumnus, der zum Autor wurde: "Einige Fakten wurden bei der Erzählung dieser Geschichte verletzt. Die Wahrheit aber bleibt unverletzt. "

Das gilt ebenso für dieses Buch.

Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster

Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster Review

“It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I’d still be screwed, because there’s no way I’d ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors.”

The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. GUTS is a true triumph—a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris.

With GUTS, Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with the reader for a long, long time.

Giants (Lost Civilizations: 1)

Giants (Lost Civilizations: 1) Review

The Nephilim had a plan. They would storm Eden, defeat the guardian Cherub with his flaming sword and eat from the Tree of Life. Then they would rule the Earth as immortal gods.

First, they needed armor to resist the flaming sword. Second, they needed a weapon to kill an angel. And third, they had to forge a champion capable of this feat. Their quest could unleash terrible forces upon the Elder Earth, but they were the sons of fallen angels and they would trample anyone who dared to stand in their way.

GIANTS is the start of Lost Civilizations. It tells of the war between Nephilim and men in the days before the oceans overran the Pre-Cataclysmic World. GIANTS is a fantasy novel by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.

A Tale of Two Giants (Rymadoon)

A Tale of Two Giants (Rymadoon) Review

You don't have to be tall to be a giant.

They meet on a rainy night, penniless and alone, both of them without a friend in the world. He's a disgraced, down-on-his luck giant, short for his kind, banished forever from his tribe. He just wants to be left alone -- and pity the poor person who annoys him.

She's a stubborn human girl whose mother has been kidnapped by a evil dictator -- and she's determined to get her back. No matter how long it takes. No matter who gets in her way.

Together they take on an empire.

When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin

When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin Review

The first significant fresh reporting on the legendary band in twenty years, built on interviews with all surviving band members and revealing a never-before-seen side of the genius and debauchery that defined their heyday.

Veteran rock journalist Mick Wall unflinchingly tells the story of the band that pushed the envelope on both creativity and excess, even by rock ‘n’ roll standards.  Led Zeppelin was the last great band of the 1960s and the first great band of the 1970s—and When Giants Walked the Earth is the full, enthralling story of Zep from the inside, written by a former confidante of both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Rich and revealing, it bores into not only the disaster, addiction and death that haunted the band but also into the real relationship between Page and Plant, including how it was influenced by Page’s interest in the occult.  Comprehensive and yet intimately detailed, When Giants Walked the Earth literally gets into the principals’ heads to bring to life both an unforgettable band and an unrepeatable slice of rock history.
