As a sort-of preconception of The Stranger, A Happy Death is also its flip-side in which Mersault gets away with pre-meditated murder (as opposed to what we could say is, if I remember correctly, involuntary manslaughter in The Stranger.)While Mersault of A Happy Death is not yet the alienated and d...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleThis book is wonderfully-written, majestically-crafted, and hauntingly beautiful. I loved every moment of it.Last week, I listened to the audiobook version of this book, which was very good. Then I saw that it was an abridged version so of course I had...
A masterpiece from the greatest of the nouveau roman novelists. You almost experience the book more than merely read it, so adept is Simon at conveying mental and sensual experience. He looks at only a few episodes from different POVs, each POV giving rise to a slightly different style, like Raymon...
Love to review Little Prince as much as I love to pick it up and read it for the 100th times. It came to my life for the first time as a school literature so I had to read it. At the age of 11 or 12 I enjoyed a different level of the story. Picked it up again when I was 20+ and got surprised with hi...
Feb 2017 NYRB Book Club SelectionI enjoy Maupassant's short stories, and this was the first longer work of his that I read. At times, I felt it was almost too long, but it is an excellent look at love and value.
I'm obviously not the intended age group, and definitely one of those grown-ups always rushing around looking for who knows what... something that's as fleeting as a breath of air... I did enjoy this story though, and I liked the teachings of the fox most! I always knew foxes were smarter and better...
,,Ovo je za mene najlepši i najtužniji predeo na svetu. To je isti onaj predeo kao i na prethodnoj stranici, ali sam ga još jedanput nacrtao da vam ga dobro pokažem. Tu se, eto, mali princ pojavio na Zemlji, a zatim iščezao. Gledajte pažljivo taj predeo kako biste bili sigurni da ćete ga p...
The Flowers of Evil is and always has been a notorious book. The easiest way to describe it is as transgressive poetry. Baudelaire is in no way revolutionary or even innovative as to form. He uses traditional poetical forms and his poems are complete with classical illusions. Nor is his subject ...
This is what has been termed as the 'Lost Book of Jules Verne'. The reason it was lost (and nobody actually knew that it existed until it was discovered in a safe in his old house in Paris) is because when he wrote it his publisher basically thought that it was rubbish and refused to publish it. So,...
I cannot even begin to express how much I adore this book! The sweetness and innocence of the little prince had a profound effect on me when I read this yeeeears ago. Still, I love coming back to this one and rereading it again and again. It's a timeless classic!
