Description

Conversations of GoetheGerman poet, dramatist, novelist, translator, scientist, and musician, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 1832) was the last universal genius of the West and a master of world literature, the author of The Sorrows of Young Werther, Wilhelm Meister, and Faust. Nowhere else can one encounter a more penetrating, many sided, and personal Goethe than in the extraordinary Conversations (1836) by Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 1854), a German author and scholar

German poet, dramatist, novelist, translator, scientist, and musician, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was the last universal genius of the West and a master of world literature, the author of The Sorrows of Young Werther, Wilhelm Meister, and Faust. Nowhere else can one encounter a more penetrating, many-sided, and personal Goethe than in the extraordinary Conversations (1836) by Johann Peter Eckermann (1792-1854), a German author and scholar as well as Goethe's friend, archivist, and editor. Although only thirty-one when first meeting the seventy-four-year-old literary giant, Eckermann quickly devoted himself to assisting Goethe during his last nine years while never failing to record their far-ranging discourse. Here are Goethe's thoughts on Byron, Carlyle, Delacroix, Hegel, Shakespeare, and Voltaire, as well as his views on art, architecture, astronomy, the Bible, Chinese literature, criticism, dreams, ethics, freedom, genius, imagination, immortality, love, mind over body, sculpture, and much more. Eckermann's Conversations--comparable to Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson--allows Goethe to engage the reader in a voice as distinct as it is entrancing.

Format: Kindle
Lim has written another really clear, easy-to-follow tutorial. This one walked me through the Ollama platform showing step-by-step how to download open weight models, query them, supply them with my own documents, and write applications that are powered by LLMs. Lim provides an easy-to-follow path to get the first version of an LLM-powered app up and running.

Breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters.
Format: Kindle
This hands-on guide to Ollama is exactly what I needed! The author breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters that get straight to the point. The sections on different Ollama models and customization were particularly helpful. If you're looking to learn about building local LLM-powered applications without any fluff, this book is a great investment.
