Un film che sembra scavare con coraggio nelle fragilità umane, lasciando allo spettatore il compito di guardare oltre le apparenze e i giudizi superficiali.

DeleteFugir das dívidas fiquei curiosa, Dezmond abraços.
ReplyDeleteMui curiosa!
DeleteOnly know his name because he was so famous, but have never read anything from him.
ReplyDeleteDa hell??? How can you live a life without ever reading anything from Dostoyevsky, the greatest ever writer in the world? I am scandalised. I did my graduation work in high school on him.
DeleteYell at me too, but I only read one of his books and that's because it was required reading in high school. I wasn't big on the classics back then, but I'm slowly catching up on them now. Which of his books were your favorites?
ReplyDeleteYou are such a hillbilly deary LOL
DeleteI prefer Tolstoy and Gogol actually, but I did my high school thesis on Karamazovs. You can always start by buying collection of Russian writers' stories, they all have them, because they are easier to read and more fun. And they have the best ones. But I do feel like I am over classics as I have spent five decades reading them and now I need something new and fresher I guess. Still, nobody has that perfect sentence structure and form as they do. I can judge whether a translator or a writer read classics or not by their work. Us who have usually have more perfect structures and vocabulary and clauses and usage of tenses etc.
I hated Tolstoy. I read him in my 20's and getting through his books felt like torture. I had to take a break from classic lit after him. Then I moved on to more modern classic lit and those were hit or miss for me. I've been bouncing around these past few years with the classics, but maybe it is the hillbilly in me that says eff it, give me modern reads and leave those classics in the past.
DeleteI do an occassional classic, I will never say no to my fave Zweig, for example, but I am also a bit sick of modern books too as they are all written on the same model, publishing needs something refreshing, that is for sure.
