Book Description
Positive-strand RNA viruses include the majority of the plant viruses, a number of insect viruses, and animal viruses, such as coronaviruses, togaviruses, flaviviruses, poliovirus, hepatitis C, and rhinoviruses. Works from more than 50 leading laboratories represent latest research on strategies for the control of virus diseases: molecular aspects of pathogenesis and virulence; genome replication and transcription; RNA recombination; RNA-protein interactions and host-virus interactions; protein expression and virion maturation; RNA replication; virus receptors; and virus structure and assembly. Highlights include analysis of the picornavirus IRES element, evidence for long-term persistence of viral RNA in host cells, acquisition of new genes from the host and other viruses via copy-choice recombination, identification of molecular targets and use of structural and molecular biological studies for development of novel antiviral agents.

Book Description
THE ONLY COMPLETE COLLECTION BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR
In this definitive collection of Ernest Hemingway's short stories, readers will delight in the author's most beloved classics such as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "Hills Like White Elephants," and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," and will discover seven new tales published for the first time in this collection. For Hemingway fans The Complete Short Stories is an invaluable treasury.
Customer Reviews:
Snappy prose!.......2007-08-14
It's fantastic to have all these stories in one book. "Hills Like White Elephant's" is still my favorite story, but I also enjoyed some that I had never heard of. I like the short declarative sentences; it makes for an easy read. I love that I can open it up to any story and just start reading. You don't have to start from the beginning and read it to the end. Each story only takes an hour at most to read - some probably twenty minutes if you're an extra fast reader.
Short stories of Ernest Hemingway.......2007-03-25
This book is great!! The stories are organized well and it is a complete collection. I'm really enjoying it!!
Mixed.......2007-03-01
First of all, it is difficult rating; Some stories deserve 4 maybe 5 stars while others only 2.
Finca Vigia is his home in Cuba ("Lookout Farm"). This book contains 21 stories in addition to the "the first forty-nine"; average length is under ten pages. Some are as short as a thought, a page out of a novel, or unfinished. Many of the stories take place in Florida, Cuba, the Midwest, and Spain and are written in first person; some very early in life.
At times the worldly Hemingway just writes about the mundane, while the next story we may be sitting in an arena watching a graphic bull-fight. The reoccurring subject matter: hunting, war, medicine, tragedy, marriage/relationships, death, fishing, sports, and drinking.
Racial epithets are frequent throughout. Many of the stories can be uninteresting, banal (as if making a report) and confusing (overly informative). He then can make the shift to simple everyday dialog, containing amazing and eloquent observations. He introduces native dialect and uses hidden subjects. Can the stories be traced to his personal experiences? His novels are better.
Wish you well

Great Reading. Paper Back Covers Suck..........2007-02-06
The book is amazing. Buy it.
Nevertheless, I hate these new paperbacks that are extremely soft.
a comprehensive collection.......2006-12-19
It's no mystery Hemingway wrote a ton of material, and while some people say his stories are all kind of the same, I disagree. I haven't read all of his work, but stories like "The Killers" and "Hills Like White Elephants" reach into completely different aspects of human nature. "The Killers" is shocking and alarming when you consider the utter indifference the hitmen in story have towards life - especially at how accurate this portrays the behavior of a sociopathic killer. "Hills like white Elephants," one of his most commonly discussed short stories, shows the natural depravity of our nature, and shows a common kind of inability to handle the consequences of our actions.
Anyway, the point is, even though Hemingway had a distinct style that can seem homogonized at times, he really grew as a writer, and this collection of short stories really demonstrates this.
"The Sun Also Rises" is definitly my favoraite Hemingway story, and most people would agree it was his cleanest/tightest work of writing, but you simply will not get the full sense of who Hemingway was as a writer and the impact he had on literature if you don't tackle his short stories as well. This I'm pretty sure has all of them, or at least vast majority of them. I would say this is one of the more important texts to get, because personally I didn't even get into hemingway untill I read "The Killers" and "The Nick Adam's Stories," and saw for myself how much life Hemingway had a grasp on.

The Master of Short Stories.......2004-08-21
It is obvious to any reader of Hemingway that he is most famous for his cleverly plotted and well-written short stories. Such classics as "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," "Hills Like White Elephants," and many more have placed in the top ratings with the greatest short stories writers of all time. His simple prose contains more depth than that of writers who overwhelm their stories with too much description, too many modifiers. Hemingway tells stories that reach deep inside of the human soul and pull out pieces that we never knew existed or had long forgotten. His greatest feat is his ability to do this is so few words.
The Finca Vigia Edition is perhaps the best compiled collection of all of Hemingway's short fiction, a masterpiece for any literature lovers library. I recommend it especially to Hemingway readers, but also to readers of all types.
Product Description
22 short stories by Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition
Product Description
In 1993 the Quality Paperback Book Club of New York published a few titles by Ernest Hemingway in trade-size paperbacks with semi-uniform covers. The covers were similar in appearance to the Book of the Month hardbound editions that also came out in 1993.
Book Description
Eleven Minutes is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that "love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer. . . ." A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune. Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness -- sexual pleasure for its own sake -- or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
Customer Reviews:
A Tale In The Dark .......2007-08-28
What pleases me in Paulo Coelho's work, and in this book in particular, is his ability to penetrate the psyche of characters and make a story evolve from that,and not from detailed descriptions of actions or places. If you compare him to, let's say, Emile Zola, where the characters from the gutters of society are usually vicious by nature (genes) or by the action of a decadent society, we will see in Maria, a prostitute, a being that suffers and dreams like anybody else, without this necessarily meaning that the author is condoning or condeming prostitution. The painter she falls in love with, a successful artist who is "tired of sex", is as unhappy yet full of longing as she is. And Paulo Coelho builds a beautiful and complex plot of how their chemistry evolves - even if it may wind up a little naive sometimes, since, personally, I haven't seen two people change into enlightened lovers so fast. But their innocence thriving in a cruel, loveless world, even despite their defenses, and their struggle to keep "real", is refreshing, and even edifying, even if not a fact of everyday reality. I don't think this book will please those who are looking for a realistic portrait of the dirty and dark side of life at Copacabana (a bar in Switzerland) or in Rio de Janeiro. But it will please those who believe literature isn't journalism, but rather an expression of an author's own subjective interpretation of love. Paulo Coelho is, before anything else, a poet. If you brake his text into verses, a poem comes out of it. He is giving you a sad reality just to have it tested against the power of the mystic poetry of his discourse. You will be able to let his personal poetry sink into you, if you manage to accept the author using prostitutes and "special clients" as ordinary people as his models - who, to him, are human beings capable of love and cynicism just like any one of us - not creatures of "low life".
couldn't believe it..trash!.......2007-08-18
It's hard to believe this is the same writer who wrote the Alchemist.
This book is trash. I have never dropped a book straight into the trash can before. Usually, I drop it in the mail to a friend (as I did with the alchemist) or keep it in my permanent library. I stopped reading this book 3/4 of the way through it. Then the next day I picked it up off the floor where I tossed it, flipped to the last two pages, read them, laughed, and dropped it right in the trash can.
This storyline is unrealistic. It's completely goofy garbage.. Comparing sacred sex to sex without love doesn't require such drastic measures, measures that are completely unrealistic at that. All this book is, is a steamy romance novel about sex, pornography in my opinion. There was nothing intellectual about the novel. Not even in the sense of being able to learn random facts. All it will do is leave an imprint on your mind of detailed sex scenes and then a ridiculously flimsy love story to go along with it that is highly unlikely. It seems like this book was written by a teenager. I am shocked it was written by Paulo Coelho.
HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN.......2007-08-09
As a writer myself, I am amazed by the talent and brilliance of Coelho. I do not believe you can learn to write like this. It is pure inspiration writing from a higer source that Coelho is in touch with. This book was certainly a masterpiece and enjoyable every second of my reading. Couldnt wait to come back to it after putting it down. 11 minutes discussed and explores the biggest area in all our lives sex and love. The story is enlightening and exquisitely crafted by the best writer that I have ever come in contact with. Thanks again Paulo, wish I had what you have. Perhaps it will come along in my search for excellence in writing. Highly recommended. Im now reading Coelos latest book. Ive read them all and will keep reading as long as he keeps writing.
The best of Coelho's books by far (surpasses The Alchemist).......2007-07-30
I am an avid reader of Paulo Coelho; his books are enlightening and inspirational to say the least. Eleven Minutes is by FAR the best one he has written thus far. This passionate book can be explicit at times, only because it has to be if it intends to effectively examine love, sex and relationships. Mainly, it explores the nature of love and lust, and the important difference between the two. While reading Eleven Minutes, I found myself laughing and crying with each passing moment. At the very last page, I felt completely fufilled and wise- as though everything I needed to know about love was expressed or at the very least touched upon in this book. READ THIS BOOK if you are interested in knowing what true love really is.
Eleven Minutes.......2007-07-12
This was the first book I've read by Paulo Coelho and I was amazed at how much this book changed my views on love and happiness. I greatly enjoyed every minute I spent with this book and I can't wait to read more of his titles. His characters are so witty and intelligent I feel like I'm listening to a conversation in my own house. I'd suggest this book to anyone.

Book Description
Una novela cautivadora y audaz del autor de El Alquimista, bestseller con m&aaucute;s de un millón de ejemplares vendidos. En este nuevo relato, el novelista explora con gran sensibilidad la naturaleza sagrada del sexo y del amor y nos invita a enfrentar nuestros propios prejuicios y demonios.
Once Minutos relata la historia de María, una joven proveniente de una villa brasileña, cuyos primeros roces inocentes con el amor le dejan con el corazón destrozado. A su tierna edad, se convence de que jamás hallará el amor verdadero; al contrario, considera que "El amor es algo horrible que produce sufrimiento." Un encuentro casual en Río la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueña con conseguir fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, termina trabajando de prostituta.
En Ginebra, la opinión desesperanzada que María tiene del amor, se pone a prueba al conocer a un apuesto joven pintor. En esta odisea de descubrimiento personal, María debe elegir entre recorrer el camino de la oscuridad, el del sexo por el sexo mismo, o arriesgarlo todo para descubrir su propia "luz interior" y las posibilidad del sexo sagrado, es decir, del sexo dentro del contexto del amor.

eleven minutes.......2007-07-08
Was very good, What I like about it is when I read it. It feels like am transported to those places and times very good
Muy buen libro!!.......2007-05-28
Soy de las personas que jamas vas a ver con un libro en la mano, soy sincera. Este libro desde que lo compre no lo pude soltar, lo termine de leer en un dia. En verdad se los recomiendo, muy buen narramiento.
Muy bueno.......2006-12-14
Me encanto, lo maximo. Muy facil de leer. Creo que es el mejor libro de Coelho. Lo recomiendo.
Excelente Libro.......2006-05-10
Soy admiradora de la obra de Paulo Coelho, he leido varios de sus libros y este ha sido uno de los que mas me ha gustado. Es un libro que trata un tema fuerte y nos abre una ventana donde podemos mirar, quizas desde otro angulo, la realidad de las mujeres que practican "la profecion mas antigua del mundo"
Es un libro interesante, puedo decir que diferente a otras obras de Coelho, pues la mayoria de ellas te llevan a un viaje interior donde puedes evaluarte como persona. En Once Minutos, sin embargo, se narra la historia de una mujer, que bien puede ser la historia de cualquier mujer que ande por el mundo, con la que hablemos a diario, alguien quien supuestamente conozcamos y sin embargo no sepamos que tiene una doble vida, un pasado oculto.
Sin embargo, hasta la persona con el mas negro de los pasados puede redimirse si asi lo desea y nosotros como sociedad no debemos juzgar a nadie, por el contrario debemos permitir que esos que han decidido cambiar lo hagan y sean de alguna manera, felices.
Es un buen libro, comprenlo, no se arrepentiran.
Coelho - Once Minutos.......2006-03-15
Yo no conozco mucho de Paulo Coelho.
Conozco del "Alquimista", "Once Minutos", "El Zahir" (lo cual salió recientemente).
Quizás tengo dos libros de él, y muy posiblemente este haya sido el primero que he leído por completo. Considero el libro muy bien escrito, e incluso muy bueno. Tampoco diriía que es el mejor libro del mundo (porque para los gustos los colores). Pero quizás sea la forma de narrar el libro, que no te aburre; al contrario de otras narraciones. Por ejemplo, libros de grandes escritores, que no hay que mencionar, que puede que sus 10 primeros capítulos sean de lo peor, y que no dan al punto...Y que no es hasta la página número 100 y tanto que te dan calor.
Este libro no. Al menos para mí, resultó ser muy llevadero, facil de leer, e incluso entretenido. A cualquiera que pueda leerselo, que lo haga; claro tomando en cuenta que este es el género que os guste.
