Lagiarre Female, 49, In a relationship. Firenze, Italy

Today on the plane i red a norwegian novel called Naive. Super by Erland Loe ( a book translated in english that was given to me as Christmas present by Letizia).
It's about a 25 years old man who is thinking a lot and doing not much.
He thinks a lot about time.
After reading it i thought that today is the 22 of january 2008, and 10 years ago, my friend M. and his brother M
were or were about to be admitted to UCLA Hospital.
It's incredible how fast time runs.
At the same time if we look at ourselves or around us we notice how many changes have been occurred.
We are pretty much the same, I guess, but the world is not.
Time has always many scales depending on the perspective.
Here we are, in the year 2009, but at the same time we are in the 1999 or even a while back, in the 1989.
I can feel and see and experience as if i am stille there, staying at Jeff's house with W., or eating with B. at the indonesian place, or drinking a cup of coffe with M. at the caffetteria down on westwood.
But, i am also here, on a plane going back to Florence from Lamezia Terme, reading e-mails on a cracked I-Phone, chatting on Facebook and Skype, 10 years later.
I guess that the boy in the book is right. He does not correctly understand the concept of time.
Niether do I.
I finish quoting from this nice book:
``Things happen when you travel, he says. What things, I ask. Perspective, my brother says.''

parla dei rapporti familiari e anche delle vita che ci prota a scappare dalle proprie radici
parla di chi resta

non succede molto
ma le descrizioni sono veramente molto accurate
poi alla fine succede tutto d'un tratto
descrive trondheim e una fattoria
descrive il punto di vista di uno che torna dalla metropoli (copenhagen)
e di come vede la citta'
il punto di vista della ragazza che visita per la prima volta i parenti
e rimane affascinta dai paesaggi e dai porcellini del padre
avessi scritto io quel romanzo
sarebbe durato 10 pagine...

la storia dei fondatori del cile negli occhi di una donna ines, la governadora, al fianco del primo conquistador e governador, la fondazione di santiago e le vicissitudini varie di quel periodo.
Pallosetto alquanto, e forse troppo moderno per essere realistico.
con considerazioni femministe a proposito degli uomini e del loro sfrenato desiderio di potere.

''What lies between two opposite is us. ..
The tension between contraries is what makes us ourselves.
We have not just one, but the other too,mixing and clashing and sparking inside us.
Not just light, but dark. Not just at peace, but at war.
Not just innocence, but experienced.''

william blake faces teh innocence of a boy and girl
nobody is innocent
nobody is experienced

il rimpianto.
una coppia la prima notte di nozze.
una fuga.
un incontro.
i primi anni 60.
un amore che nasce e porta al matrimonio.
un amore forte che si perde.
quello che sarei stato se.
un bivio.
due vite che prendono un altra strada.
'' This is how the entire course of life can be changed - by doing nothing.''

On chesil beach Ian McEwan

Romanzo bellissimo e scritto molto bene triste, come la vita non vissuta
