When assigning “Nadja” as the reading for next class, my professor gave us a rather cryptic warning that this book will split our class into two groups: those who loved it, and those who hated it. I didn’t find myself to be in either camp, however, as I found a little bit of both in this novel. I al...
The novella is the fourth most-translated book in the world and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects (as well as Braille), selling nearly two million copies annually with sales totaling over 140 million copies worldwide, it has b...

This a children's book for kids and grown-ups.The writing is magical, and the characters are completely unforgettable.It is a a book you can read over and over again, and every time you read it,you can find more hidden truths within its content.
Personally I had never heard of this book until the book club that I had joined put it onto their reading list (it was the book for November). This is something that I like about book clubs (not that I have been a member of one before, and this will only be the third time that I have attended), name...
