Inexpensive Wooden Fingerboard

Readings

Hello dear, a quick update to last dip before our meeting tomorrow. I finished "The Year that Changed the World" by Michael Meyer of which I had talked about last meeting. Really interesting though not easy reading, I had to take in small doses! The subtitle "the untold story of the fall of the Berlin Wall" is already understand the argument that we are all aware, but actually know very little. I continued with our Elisabeth George "The best revenge." I then drag to the left reading "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" since its resounding success I was curious. What can I say? The idea of \u200b\u200bprime numbers together, yet infinitely distant is certainly interesting, as well as the language is changed in the evolution of time, the book reads well and the author, whereas he is young and is not an expert, still unable to trace the lives of the characters very well with a psychopathology. It is not a novel that has impressed me, a good start, but you lose, the players have not been able to charm, beyond the description is not thick, the other characters non sono particolarmente approfonditi, il finale aperto lascia un pò perplessi. Alla fine mi è rimasta solo un pò di tristezza. Comunque come sempre è un'opinione personale. Ben diverso secondo me un altro vincitore del premio Strega, "Stabat mater" di Tiziano Scarpa. Il genere è completamente diverso, è un libro non facile, ma veramente molto bello che vi consiglio caldamente. Scarpa descrive con maestria una storia ambientata nella Venezia del '700 nell'ospizio che accoglieva i bambini abbandonati. La protagonista è Cecilia, una ragazza di sedici anni che, attraverso un diario epistolare rivolto alla madre che non ha mai conosciuto, racconta la drammatica ricerca della propria identità. Il violino è la sua voce ed il way to be a person. Cecilia is not easy for that long walk on the edge of madness and obsession with death, but slowly manages to come up with music and especially the meeting with a music teacher (do not tell you who is but you will understand just by reading the book). See you tomorrow. Rosa
