EINE BESONDERE WORTSPIELEREI, davon ich neue Wörter lernte und die Geschichte richtig witzig fand! Zusätzlich scheint mir die nicht unbedingt ohne Moral. Ich sehe es natürlich aus meiner Perspektive, dass wenn jemand anders ist, sollte sein eigenes Abenteuer erleben dürfen und auf andere Art und Weise neue Dinge lernen.

I can't describe with words how happy I am finally reading this book in original language. It's been on my bucket list since 15 years.Reading its translation at first (in The Complete Robot) was the right decision, I would say. It did help me to get to know Asimov's world of early robots, as I had presumed.I don't think I am exaggerating: Considering the years these stories are written and published, the plots are mind-blowing, so are Three Laws of Robotics and how firm and yet flexible they apply. I like how Asimov just kept on cooking. Sometimes the characters or other aspects of the futuristic worlds didn't make sense though! which is annoying.Powell and Donavan are not bad. I would have like them better if their scenes were somewhat comedy. Then Nick Frost and Simon Pegg could play them in a miniseries.And at last, Dr. Susan Calvin. I must mention again that I'm not quite satisfied with the description of her appearance and her private life, which is obviously because of the patriarchy and the white male author! Other than that, she has been my favorite character, the voice of reason, analysis and passion for robots.####################SPOILERS####################Stephen Byerley could be an advanced version of [b:I,Robot 30525004 I, Robot (Adam Link, #0.1) Eando Binder https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465707411l/30525004.SX50.jpg 51047598]Adam Link, my sweet boy T_T

Edit to say: Do you have doubts to start this book? If you don't care about spoilers, you can read my short review first:
The story is well written, but as a person with limited friend circle (read 2) and poor communication skills I am offended that this book considers my life worthless and tries to say whoever being well-known and liked by the majority has a worthier life! And the author tries to cover this scam by a romance story!
Isn't this familiar to you?!
1) Black Mirror, Season 3, Episode 1: If you are liked by more people, you'll be able to communicate with high class ones, you'll be richer and can buy a house or a car and etc. so you are worthy.
2) Every natural beautiful Gen Z has a TikTok account and is loved by the majority for something (their face) they didn't even create THEMSELVES while LIP-SYNCING a song they haven't even written nor composed. They would still get richer than they are now if they sell their lifetime!!
Even if I had read this book before not-counted-as-talent Gen Z things becomes popular, I still wouldn't have liked this book. Nobody is allowed to judge how worthy my life is. I am the only person in charge who can achieve my goals and be happy.
So, NO.

Every year since I was 4, my uncle would take me to an international book fair. But life shifted, I went there with other people, then by myself and eventually, I moved away.
This year, when the fair came around again, I knew even if I were there, it couldn't possibly feel the same — but I still wanted to feel connected. I came across this book that is about the magic of reading books as a child.
It felt like a quiet tribute to my past, a kid without friends and without being able to actually visit exciting places and go on adventures. Even as a teen there was nothing to do other than reading books. Books have been all I've known.
Now I'm glad to have the possibility to experience life and to have my own adventures but this book is a gift to the big part of me that saved me from madness and horror of the environment I've been raised in.

Actual rating: 4.90
I find this book the most important link among this series (yes even though I haven't read Empire yet. I am heading there), and very very dear to me in the case of Daneel and Giskard. Their conversations and evolution were the best parts of the book. Giskard has become one of my most favorite characters of all time. Goodbye, friend Giskard TTTTTTTTTT~TTTTTTTTTT
Honestly, I can't care less about Gladia's storyline and how Asimov ships her with every male character in each book WTF. Her peace mission seems dull and the officials of Earth are a bunch of potatoes whose minds Giskard could affect without trouble. Sometimes I do need to pause and think that officials are not really intelligent and cool and they have made and still make horrible mistakes we don't expect.
Now, I am glad that I have a first edition [heart on fire]

THIS IS THE BOOK I NEEDED SINCE EVER!
James Clear is the one person that shows you the hows. The person who doesn't vent and in the end would say "All answers are inside you. You need to look inside." or "You you really want to, you should be able to!" and all the extra shitty arguments and excuses some specialists make up when you describe your problems and ask them for advice. I have many unfortunate conversations and hard times with such people, and most parts of me have been feeling that I am a reluctant unmotivated lazy person.
Since I've started reading this book and learnt the techniques James Clear actually teaches here, I have managed to start a few tiny changes and track them, and for that, I am very grateful to James, and my sibling, for introducing this amazing content to me.

Dies ist der erste deutsche Roman, den ich auf Deutsch gelesen habe, und ich muss sagen, dass ich viel Spaß dabei hatte – nicht nur, weil ich 98 % des Textes ohne Wörterbuch verstehen konnte, sondern auch, weil mir die Geschichte selbst sehr gut gefallen hat. :)
Leider ist die Geschichte nach 51 Jahren immer noch relevant, aber ich kann mich zumindest freuen, dass es dieses Buch gibt, aus dem ich lernen kann. :)
Ruhe in Frieden, Michael Ende!

The Huge Hunter Or, the Steam Man of the Prairies
A locomotive man in the wild wild west, now, isn't this a pure steampunk story!?! Considering the time it was written, it's so cool! I mean Benz was about the same time but in Germany! The idea is unique and the adventures would show how life was back then. Liked it a lot.
The text was quite hard to read, so, listening to the audiobook by LibriVox with the right accent and tone was quite a blessing, also, it reminded me of the English courses, felt nostalgic.
The fourth story of this list.
Well done sir. rip.

Ironisch, dass Chatgpt mir dieses Buch als die erste aufgezeichnete Geschichte über “Automaten” vorgestellt hat...At first, I disliked the story; mixing supernatural and trauma and technology together. The text structure was confusing, and the English translation didn't help much, so, I read reviews and essays to see if I quite comprehended the story. This article was very helpful.Before I could write down what I thought, I had to sleep on it. (And no, I didn't think of any sandman at my bed before going to sleep. I was mentally exhausted.)I'm not over this. I don't think I ever will. It scared the shit out of me. Luckily, I didn't know this story as a kid. I would have definitely ended up like Nathanael!UGH I am sick of incestuous relationships! Nathanael and Clara were raised in the same house and then engaged... Will this ever end?!If we ignore that part, although some reviews say that Clara represents “logic”, to me, in 2024, she does not. She thinks Nathanael's fears will go away if he tries to forget them and never talks about them. I don't think she's a good partner. On the other hand, we see how happy Nathanael is when Olimpia does not talk and does not disagree with him!!! Nathanael is not a good partner either! Everyone wants to be the conversation hog!What I concluded is:The sandman is real. He owns the eyes of children and their dreams at night. He's probably greedy. So, he works with the professor to gain access to adults' eyes through lenses he sells in broad daylight!!! If he owns all people's eyes, he owns their reality!!! People like Nathanael with unresolved trauma just fit the profile of a good victim. The sandman handpicked Nathanael because he knew that Nathanael can't think right; Nathanael's apartment went on fire and then his new apartment and new room view was exactly Olimpia's room!! raising browsOthers don't buy Coppelius' lenses aka perspectives (very wise choice of word!), and so, they are not deceived by Olimpia. More importantly, after the professor is exposed, people start to test each other, to see if their companions are real! This paragraph hit me right in the face! People get paranoid!People like Mark Zuckerberg are the sandman(/men!) of our time! But do you think we, who have not bought Meta Quest, are safe?! Media is another tool that the sandman uses! They choose what we see. They have us. Our fears only escalate with time!Hoffmann never explained what is real and what is not, letting us all ruminate about it even after 200 years. Well, I chose to believe he was real.ANDMary Shelley's Frankenstein and Hoffmann's Der Sandmann were written in the same period!!!!!!!!!????!!!???!I wanna know soooo baddddddd what they thought of each other's stories! cry in vainShould I mention that Hoffmann published [b:Nutcracker 774449 Nutcracker E.T.A. Hoffmann https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387711623l/774449.SX50.jpg 2221897] in the same year as the sandman??? I just did. You're welcome.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? :)
Very pleased to get to read this book, thanks to Wes Anderson!
I wish I was familiar with Roald Dahl when I was a kid. I find all stories in this book fascinating. Even I found many new subtle things from them, let alone the kids!
- “The Swan” hit me. I never thought he would have written such a heavy story. Every kid needs to know this story before going to school!
In the short movie The Swan by Wes Anderson, the adult version of the poor kid narrates the story, which shows how traumatizing getting bullied is!
- The kid who talked to animals and The wonderful story of Henry Sugar stories point out respecting and protecting animals + social classes. The sooner children learn these topics, the better, otherwise they will learn it the hard way, when they are already in the society and have no idea how to put up with that! (like me)
An my god! How extraordinary his own life was! And what an amazing first story he had written! A piece of cake! He was born to do this!

The text was fluent. I'm glad I could read a sci-fi novel in original language in several days without difficulty.It wasn't perfect but I liked that it wasn't pure detective story but a sci-fi detective story. The main character was flawed. Being wrong several times led to him and us getting more information about the plot and the world on a greater scale, which I found quite interesting.The idea of the caves and mentioning Ozone were unique at the time. Hope there are more info on that in The Naked Sun.“Spacetown” as a name baffled me and after some googling, it annoyed me too. I don't get why he picked such a name for that meaning.Classification doesn't seem to be the kind of problem that would be solved someday in the future but just a concept that all kinds of societies would use to run(!) their peopIe.Family relationships also had not changed. I don't have any opinion + idea on that topic though.Even regarding the technology of 50s, he considered this story to be toooooo far in the future. This tech wasn't as advanced as I thought it would be in 1000 years but in 100.P.S.: NEXT: [b:The Naked Sun 76685 The Naked Sun (Robot, #2) Isaac Asimov https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1439756125l/76685.SY75.jpg 1583154]

I do not allow myself to have any opinion about the literature of this book since it's a translation. I find the translation text understandable.Now, about the story itself: Everything I've ever known about robots is summed up in this creative and wonderfully written story. Or maybe I should say that new writers, aka writers after 1921, had to expand this story and they were the ones I've read!! It's all a modern form of the amazing gothic-sci-fi story of [b:Frankenstein 12974171 Frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546419388l/12974171.SY75.jpg 4836639], but since I love this nihilist idea, I'd like to keep on reading :)I would love to consider [b:In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays 135742 In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays Bertrand Russell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1172071900l/135742.SY75.jpg 1314555] as an indirect analysis for this play.R.I.P.

Well I'll be damned if I don't give this book 5/5.I enjoyed the explanations regarding robots being logical and not reasonable. Hard robotic-sci-fi was RAD maaaaan! This combo of detective sci-fi has really grown on me!Aaaaaand I enjoyed very much reading a fortyish white guy faint more than once =)))) (the first time in Caves of Steel)”Gladia not minding loose clothing WTF white male writers of 50s!!??? I guess Daneel's body being described in Caves of Steel kinda balances this one out!!!!!AND OMG DID GLADIA THINK DANEEL AND BALEY ARE A COUPLE?! LMAOThe narrative of this book and a bit in Caves of Steel is very welcoming. As the reader, I got to accompany Baley and we faced surprises at the same time. Nice!I did want to facepalm over and over because I used to think the Solarians are dumb but then again, because of the narrative giving us info bit by bit, it turned out how shitty it is being born and raised on Solaria. For someone who has been born and brought up in a dictatorship, in isolation, in lacking any knowledge on human body, instincts and needs, far far away from other sex*es, and just recently figuring all this out with the help of outsider experts , I could understand Gladia very well and I'm glad for her proper closure.AND: DANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I missed him through the WHOLE plot!FINALLY: Being born and raised in the caves wasn't my favorite AT ALL when I read Caves of Steel. I appreciated the solitude on Solaria at first but after Baley visited the tanks and kids, I came to realize none of them are ideal. No matter how hard humans try to suffocate the instincts in the name of “advance” or “culture” or “custom”. All the LIE piles up and falls down all over us! We all need a moderate life where our instincts, our curiosities, our basic needs such as affection, sex, interaction and solitude are simply met, neither ignored nor overindulged. We must not let cultures, customs and traditions stand in our way. This book has become very dear to me.

Well I'll be damned if I don't give this book 5/5.I enjoyed the explanations regarding robots being logical and not reasonable. Hard robotic-sci-fi was RAD maaaaan! This combo of detective sci-fi has really grown on me!Aaaaaand I enjoyed very much reading a fortyish white guy faint more than once =)))) (the first time in Caves of Steel)”Gladia not minding loose clothing WTF white male writers of 50s!!??? I guess Daneel's body being described in Caves of Steel kinda balances this one out!!!!!AND OMG DID GLADIA THINK DANEEL AND BALEY ARE A COUPLE?! LMAOThe narrative of this book and a bit in Caves of Steel is very welcoming. As the reader, I got to accompany Baley and we faced surprises at the same time. Nice!I did want to facepalm over and over because I used to think the Solarians are dumb but then again, because of the narrative giving us info bit by bit, it turned out how shitty it is being born and raised on Solaria. For someone who has been born and brought up in a dictatorship, in isolation, in lacking any knowledge on human body, instincts and needs, far far away from other sex*es, and just recently figuring all this out with the help of outsider experts , I could understand Gladia very well and I'm glad for her proper closure.AND: DANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I missed him through the WHOLE plot!FINALLY: Being born and raised in the caves wasn't my favorite AT ALL when I read Caves of Steel. I appreciated the solitude on Solaria at first but after Baley visited the tanks and kids, I came to realize none of them are ideal. No matter how hard humans try to suffocate the instincts in the name of “advance” or “culture” or “custom”. All the LIE piles up and falls down all over us! We all need a moderate life where our instincts, our curiosities, our basic needs such as affection, sex, interaction and solitude are simply met, neither ignored nor overindulged.

The Birth-Mark
Men making women go mad, episode n!!!
Men can't be satisfied, ever. It's just never enough how pretty a woman is! Men are allowed to be ugly, and the writers don't even mention much how a man looks like, but they describe a woman from head to toe in detail and judge them based on their appearance - ALL THE FUCKING TIME - SINCE EVER!
And now cosmetic surgeries everywhere! Don't you dare even think it's all women's fault! Don't!

یادمه فقط میخوندم و میگفتم پرهایم و برگهایم! چقدر تصورمون از جوامع قدیم ناقص بود! فکر میکردیم اسکلن یا عقلشون قد نمیده. سخت در اشتباه بودیم.

Meh. Ich erwartete mehr. Nur eine erste Antwort bringt ja nichts. Das Kind kann das schon. Ich erwartete Beispiele mit richtigen Dialogen, wo man sieht, wie die Bullys danach reagieren und einfach unsere Dinge nicht zurückgeben oder uns weiter schlagen. Oder wie die Eltern sich reagieren sollen und wie sie mit dem Kind umgehen sollen. Was tun dann? Das ist wichtiger!
