Cover of Sweeney Todd
Cover of Chatterton
  • Assolutamente folle e divertentissimo. Una riflessione originale sui complessi temi della verità, il falso, la falsificazione, l'arte, l'immaginazione e il tempo. Una folla di personaggi, uno più assurdo dell'altro, e una serie di inganni storici e letterari, si intrecciano tra sé, in tre storie, am ... (continue)

    Assolutamente folle e divertentissimo. Una riflessione originale sui complessi temi della verità, il falso, la falsificazione, l'arte, l'immaginazione e il tempo. Una folla di personaggi, uno più assurdo dell'altro, e una serie di inganni storici e letterari, si intrecciano tra sé, in tre storie, ambientate in epoche diverse. Le storie ci raccontanto del giovane poeta (realmente esistito) Thomas Chatterton, dello scrittore (anche lui realmente esistito) George Meredith, che fece da modello per un quadro rappresentante proprio la morte di Chatterton, e di Charles Wychwood, poeta - questa volta immaginario - alle prese con dei documenti che potrebbero contenere una rivelazione sconvolgente...

  • Lo voto con 4 stelle, anche se si compone di varie raccolte di racconti, a cui darei votazioni diversi (dalle due stelle e mezzo di "Fireworks" alle quattro con lode di "The bloody chamber").

    Lo voto con 4 stelle, anche se si compone di varie raccolte di racconti, a cui darei votazioni diversi (dalle due stelle e mezzo di "Fireworks" alle quattro con lode di "The bloody chamber").
    Ne vale la pena davvero, di buttarsi in questo mondo folle, cupo, strano, inquietante, disturbante, fascinoso e magnifico. A volte è esasperato e urta persino la sensibilità, anche troppo (vedi alcuni racconti di "Fireworks"), a volte - la maggior parte delle volte - ti fa solo venir voglia di ringraziare che esista qualcuno capace di fare magia con le parole.

    In the end, I think I'm satisfied

    I've loved with all myself the firts 4 books. I've read with a lot of disappointment books 5 and 6. Altough they had some great moments and ideas, they weren't even nearly as good as the others.
    I like J.K. Rowling's prose. It's simple and not so original, but she knows how to tell a story, ho ... (continue)

    I've loved with all myself the firts 4 books. I've read with a lot of disappointment books 5 and 6. Altough they had some great moments and ideas, they weren't even nearly as good as the others.
    I like J.K. Rowling's prose. It's simple and not so original, but she knows how to tell a story, how to describe a scene and how to keep you glued to the chair untile you've finished the book.
    Here I found again the wish to read until it was over, rather than the wish to go to J.K.'s house and scream at her "Hey, what in the world are you doing????"

    The book is more compact, the plot has a lot more meaning than the last 2. It's not another PoA or GoF, but it stays together, the pieces fit and the plot holes are forgettable.
    There are a lot of great ideas and very touching moments. I liked how the characters "played".
    I've always thought they're not good because of their psychological developement, but because they embody something, a role, an ideal... And here everyone has his right role in the whole story.

    I loved the whole Dumbledore's secrets subplot. I found it full of meaning and original.
    I liked the idea of the fairytale.
    I quite liked the ending battle.
    I didn't like at all the last six pages, I think she could have said the same things in a less banal way.

    In the end, I feel satisfied with the ending, and I'm really grateful to J.K. for creating this world that gave me a lot of good sensations and beautiful hours.
