Description:
"This manuscript is ancient, priceless,
bamboo-rolled, perfumed with musty spices.
Sit comfortably by this good light, that you may learn
the hard-won lesson that these characters contain."
The Song of Kieu is the greatest classic of Vietnamese literature. It tells the story of the beautiful Vuong Thoy Kieu, who agrees to a financially profitable marriage in order to save her family from ruinous debts, but is tricked into working in a brothel. Her tragic career involves jealous wives, slavery, war, poverty and she becomes a nun twice. There are high points, such as when she teams up with a muscle-bound, tender-hearted rebel hero who makes her his queen and summons all her wrongdoers to account, but the ending is bittersweet.
'To the Vietnamese people themselves, it is much more than just a glorious heirloom from their literary past,' says Professor Alexander Woodside of the University of British Columbia. 'It has become a kind of continuing emotional laboratory in which all the great and timeless issues of personal morality and political obligation are tested and resolved.'
'For elegance and sheer readability I doubt if it could be equalled. English readers already familiar with Kieu will be delighted by its musicality. And those who have not previously encountered Kieu will wonder how such a masterpiece could so long have eluded them.' John Keay

Fantastic sensitive skin mineral lotion
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Mineral sunscreen is required in Hawaii. They don't allow the chemical variety as they are trying to protect the reefs. The Banana Boat Sensitive 100% Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Twin Pack is a great option for reliable, gentle sun protection. Made with 100% mineral actives, it’s perfect for sensitive skin and provides strong broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays. The lotion is lightweight, blends in well without leaving a heavy white cast, and feels comfortable for all-day wear. It’s also water-resistant, making it a dependable choice for outdoor activities. With the value of a twin pack, it’s a smart buy for keeping your skin safe and protected. We used it in Hawaii and it was popular among our crew. It didn't last long!

On my Safe List from allergist!
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I like this product because it is nice and creamy, has no odor, it rubs in easily and it stays on. I need constant sun protection every day and this one seems to provide it, even when boating. I have no itching or irritation of skin or eyes after using. So much better than a sticky spray that feels like a plastic coating when it dries. I am getting better protection with this one, and you don’t feel like you’ve gotta wash it all off at the end of the day. Very happy I tried it, and I’m going to stick with it.

Dries your skin and leaves a cast, but very effective and dry to the touch
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen is super effective for preventing sunburn, I think it works for longer than other sunscreens. It’s also completely dry to the touch, it’s the least greasy sunscreen I’ve ever worn in my life. There are drawbacks though, it makes my skin super dry, and it leaves a little bit of a white cast.
