Book of the month of October


Title: "Gargoyle "

Author: Andrew Davidson





Trama :

Una vita senza sentimenti, una carriera come famoso attore porno, serate dedicate al più assoluto edonismo, nessun legame. È tutto ciò che l'anonimo protagonista di questo romanzo si trova alle spalle, mentre giace in un letto d'ospedale a seguito di un terribile incidente stradale, completamente sfigurato dalle ustioni. Ora che non può più in alcun modo fare affidamento sul suo corpo egli attende in solitudine, senza nessun amico, il giorno in cui sarà abbastanza forte da alzarsi dal letto e uccidersi. Durante una delle sue interminabili giornate, tuttavia, una ragazza di nome Marianne entra nella sua stanza e comincia a parlargli come if they had always known. It is a psychiatric hospital patient, a brilliant sculptor of stone gargoyle however affected by deep manic. Despite the initial distrust of the narrator Marianne will be back in the days following, telling him what she said to have been their first love affair, which occurred in Germany in the thirteenth century. From there, on a regular basis, will return to her bedside to tell him, as in the Thousand and One Nights, of love stories take place between them at other times.

Review of ร เ 3 ๏ ภ ค

"Everything that can withstand fire, you do pass through the fire and will be made clean. "

First, I commend the book cover of this edition Oscar Mondadori, is very suitable and especially beautiful:
the boy's face is in the throes of a metamorphosis in which the flesh becomes poetic plant. drops that are think of pure, fresh water, but also in sweat and crying together, slip on the skin of the boy and rose petals (and they look real!).
The cover tells us figuratively a transfiguration that seems to change not only the body but also the spirit of the protagonist who is freed from sin through the acceptance of physical punishment. This gives him the opportunity to draw closer to the most important values \u200b\u200bof life and therefore Live fully.
The theme of metamorphosis is not the case again in the passion of Marianne Engel, female protagonist, who possesses the art of carving grotesque. The sculpture is a massive step dall'immota heaviness of matter vital to the motion of the shape of which one can not help but admire the miracle of rough-hewn, beauty, even if it is to be sculpted a statue of a flying monster, what , commonly and erroneously is called Gargoyle.

Started reading the book, the story just takes you and grab you the way it is told through a very direct approach to search the narrator with the reader. Direct way to approach mean that the reader is constantly being urged to try to identify himself in the affair, tried to feel what the protagonist. Initially, we must resign ourselves to experience the pain and suffering (though filtered through a touch of self-irony), then a spiritual path of ascent, hope and love.

I recommend this book to everyone, especially those who also love the short stories in this book because there are different and very touching.

Book of the month of September


Title: "A head wild "

Subtitle: A hymn of love and the power of books to read

Author: Marie -Sabine Roger




Plot:

Here is the story of Germain, the "village idiot". Centodieci chili di muscoli per sorreggere una testa selvatica, un passato di mancata educazione sentimentale e un presente di conta dei piccioni e pomeriggi spesi al bar. Qui si racconta di un incontro straordinario nel più ordinano dei luoghi, un parco pubblico. Si traccia il delicato resoconto della più improbabile delle complicità, quella tra un gigante semi analfabeta e una vecchina con i capelli viola e la passione per i libri. Si dimostra che l'intelligenza è altra cosa dalla cultura. Quando le vite di Germain e Margueritte si accomodano sulla medesima panchina, ogni cosa, dentro e fuori, comincia a cambiare. E così questa può anche essere una storia che parla di avventure o di amore... o di indiani. Perché no? I sentimenti, come words, are not innate. We must acquire them, slowly. And when they bloom no longer matters that there is still a vacuum to fill, but all full invades the heart and head as weeds that can no longer be eradicated. The world in which plant roots wildness another, without affection, made of words. Like that of Germain and Margueritte, and vocabulary that will rewrite the destinies.

My comment :

A "beach reading"

This is a simple story, as we anticipated correctly what is written on the back cover: do not expect excitement, great emotion and even shots scene.
And 'what comes closest to my concept of "beach reading" and also believe that to truly appreciate it you must finish it within one or two days.
Apart from this premise, a bit 'stiff, I think that "a head game" is a pleasant read.
Marie-Sabine Roger has cleverly used a simple way to write (sorry for the repetition of the adjective, but it is undoubtedly the most appropriate), and sometimes crude, volgarotto, to lend credibility to the view of the protagonist and narrator (it is written in first person) is that Germain, a man practically illiterate. He, thanks to unusual encounters in the park with an old woman (among other things highly educated), he will understand what it means to love and be loved.
I must be honest, I expected a bit 'more ... maybe for the many positive comments. However, not evil. Three stars. :)

Good Mens Masterbation Lubracants

Il terzo occhio



Author: Lobsang Rampa




Plot:

When mankind took the place of the gods as punishment for the Third Eye was closed. Lobsang Rampa, Tibetan Lama, says instead of having yet this extraordinary power that men of the West, gold worshipers, commerce and science, have irrevocably lost.

The initiation of a boy into the mysteries of life in a world governed by ancient beliefs and rituals and centuries-old superstition pervaded by piety. Reality or imagination? The third eye takes us to the enchanted atmosphere of the fabulous Tibet, the mysterious Orient so far yet so near.

My comment:

This book is much more than a novel ... offers much food for thought and depth of course. In fact it is a pity that in many instances the author does not elaborate, but as he himself says, this is not the kind of book that is understandable to do so. Definitely going to read the other books that have succeeded in this because I really enjoyed immersing myself in the atmosphere of Tibet in the first half of 1700. Besides the fact that I believe fully that the author, an American of 1900, Monaco is the reincarnation of Tibetan Lobsang Rampa. It is also interesting to see the comment by Corrado Malanga, renowned professor of chemistry at the University of Pisa ufologist as well.

This book is one of my favorites because I opened up a world.

Recommended!

How To Neutralize Red Hilights Into Gold Hilights

Gli spiriti non dimenticano

Author: Vittorio Zucconi


Plot:

In reconstructing the life of Chief Crazy Horse, the son of thunder and hail, which in 1876 defeated Custer's Seventh Cavalry at Little Bighorn, Vittorio Zucconi has discovered more than a warrior messiah with a red hawk feather in her hair: she met the daily life, women, children, love, the rites and despair of what was a magnificent free people of hunters: the Lakota Sioux of the Great Plains. The result was "The spirits do not forget," a poignant and wonderful story, that no "pale face" can be read without a thrill of tenderness and shame. And without falling eventually, as the author himself, under the spell of Crazy Horse, drifting in an adventure of extraordinary emotional intensity.

Not the usual historical book written with only the dates and chronicles, but try to involve the reader to what has been the period of Crazy Horse and his war with the whites. Reading it, one identifies with Crazy Horse and you can almost feel like it was his mood and his sad end.

My comment :

Past experience, but he learned little or nothing ...

On 6 November 1869 the Indian Chief Red Cloud came to Fort Laramie along the Bozeman Trail, to sign yet another treaty with the white man. In this historic occasion spoke, touching, bitter speech, directed to his Lakota Sioux: "Brothers of the Great Plains, now you must start your life and forget the teachings of your fathers. To become like the white man is to learn virere in her world you must learn to accumulate wealth and food just for yourself, and forget the poor and the other men who are not brothers, but game to hunt. you have to build a house of wood and stone, and when your house will be built, you look around and find what other home and what treasures you can take away your neighbor. Because this is the way of the whites and this is the world in which our people will now have to learn to live and survive. "(" The spirits have not forgotten "by Vittorio Zucconi) I think that sums up the facts. Treaties and treaties binding on the Indian ephemeral for the white man. Although the chief Red Cloud I do not really like, his words on that occasion, dictated by despair and resignation, giving the feeling of selfishness and materialism that dominate the society " civilized ", unfortunately, not only of time. These are words rather than current, a just condemnation, especially the Western world.
