(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

Peggy Sterling
, August 04, 2012
How does a Westerner get inside the mind of a Russian? Taken along on a trip to St. Petersburg, this cultural history dives right in with a quote from Tolstoy in the first chapter. Gradually building one's knowledge of the periods and influences of Russia, this book provides a great overview and understanding of a foreign way of life and thinking. Made many of the sights and behaviors of Russians much more understandable.

Power of Kindness The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life
by
Piero Ferrucci
Peggy Sterling
, August 04, 2012
A book for our times. Providing personal examples of all the character attributes that contribute to living kindly, Ferrucci provides a moral compass for our increasingly cold and distant world. While kindness makes the world a better place for others by shifting the focus from our oft self-centered ways, Ferrucci shows also how it enriches and expands the kind person's life too. He does this in just 18 short, interwoven chapters. Great gift for graduates, newly marrieds or anyone in transition...

In the Garden of Beasts Love Terror & an American Family in Hitlers Berlin
by
Erik Larson
Peggy Sterling
, August 04, 2012
From the first chapter, Larson's intimate, lively history grips the reader and carries one along; it's an intriguing account of the life of Roosevelt's last choice of Germany's ambassador, brought naively into the disintegrating society. Rather than change Germany by polite historical reviews, the story shows the impact the unbelievable events have on the ambassador and his family. A MUST READ, even by readers who normally avoid history.
