Copio spudoratamente da un commento su Guerra e pace: (anche) questo è IL libro.
Qualunque cosa cerchiate, è nei Miserabili. - — Jan 31, 2010 | 5 feedbacks

-
Per chi ama questo genere di cose, la Worsley ha approfondito un segmento del periodo georgiano in un bel documentario per BBC4, Elegance and decadence, occupandosi del Regency e delle stravaganze del Principe di Galles (in questo libro si ferma a Giorgio II).
Molto ben fatto e tanta invidia ... (continue) - — Feb 9, 2012 | 3 feedbacks

I don't watch The Office so I don't know if Kaling is any good as a scriptwriter, but I sure know she shouldn't be writing books.
This was painfully unfunny and embarassingly uninteresting. Basically she tells the story of her life, only it's boring as hell - I was always waiting for the anectodes ... (continue) - — Jan 16, 2012 | 2 feedbacks

'(...) And when he died, I gave sir Edward his gold watch. -'
She said this with a look at her companion which implied its right to produce a great impression - and seeing no rapturous astonishment in Charlotte's countenance, added quickly - 'He did not bequeath it to his nephew, my dear - It was no ... (continue) - — Dec 14, 2011 | 6 feedbacks

The King is in the Holy Land -
Mi piange il cuore a dirlo, ma questo libro è proprio brutto.
Questa donna ha scritto uno dei mei romanzi preferiti in assoluto, che mi aveva fatto commuovere per un personaggio che muore dopo cinque minuti, che mi aveva tenuta incollata per novecento pagine scritte in minuscolo (grazie, Penguin). ... (continue) - — Dec 8, 2011 | 3 feedbacks

Behind the Scenes at the Museum




-
'That's a grand dress you're wearing, Bunty,' uncle Bill says suddenly, and Bunty flinches slightly because she doesn't like Bill (an antipathy based entirely on the fact that he's George's brother) and if her brother-in-law thinks it's a 'grand dress' - a man with no taste whatsoever (this much is ...

Much ado about nothing -
Quando si fa un gran parlare di certi libri, di solito mi tengo a debita distanza.
Stavolta, dopo aver visto il trailer abbastanza promettente del film tratto da questo romanzo, ho deciso di capire cosa ci fosse di tanto speciale. È un young adult ma avevo sentito persone ben oltre l'adolescenza tra ... (continue) - — Nov 17, 2011 | 1 feedback

Che pesantezza!
Io cercavo una specie di "social history", qualcosa che mi raccontasse a grandi linee la "Edwardian era" (1901-1910), dalla società all'arte, mi spiegasse genericamente la situazione politica interna, etc.
Invece è tutto politica: mi andava bene nell'introduzione, ma poi con ... (continue) - — Nov 15, 2011 | 6 feedbacks
