Il diavolo custode

I had such high hopes for this book, having picked it up in the airport before leaving for a holiday. I'd heard great things about the film and thought the book would be even better. Boy was I wrong! While I did learn a lot about what it is like to be paralyzed it was not at all what I expected. The Leggi tutto

4,5 Una novela realmente preciosa, escrita con una prosa poético muy bonita, este libro es bastante especial por la dosis de realidad y dramatismo que conlleva. Eso sí, no se parece en prácticamente nada a la película, la cual me gusto mucho, pero el libro ha sido mucho mejor.

A couple weeks ago I watched a wonderful movie. "The Intouchables" is from France. it is based on the true story of two men who became friends. Each wrote a memoir. A Second Wind. { translated into English} was written by Phillippe Pozzo di Borgo. Pozzo was born to a wealthy family he became wealthy Leggi tutto

كنتُ قد سمعتُ عن الكتاب وبالأخص الفلم قبل سنوات عدة، خلال دراستي في الجامعة.. ولم احظى برؤية الفلم أو قراءة الكتاب إلا من فترة قريبة وبالألمانية ! الكتاب - وهو يروي قصة حقيقية- يتحدث عن علاقة تنشأ بين رجل غني جدًا أصيب بشلل كلي نتيجة حادث ورجل آخر تقدم لوظيفة "مساعد" لدى الأول .. تبدأ العلاقة بحاجة Leggi tutto

I thought there would be more interaction between the author and his caretaker. To read the back cover, one would think that the focus would be on them. Instead i spent al Leggi tutto

Li este livro numa tarde a beira da piscina. É uma leitura muito fácil e agradável se bem que com alguma poética pelo meio, coisa que não me entusiasma muito. Creio que será dos poucos livros em que o filme poderá ser melhor. (Ainda não vi!)

No se parece a la película, pero ambas están buenas para abordarlas. Citas: http://hechaensilencio.blogspot.com/2...

1.5 Sterne Oh Mann, was ein Müll. Das mit dem "autobiographischer Bericht" habe ich leider erst gesehen, nachdem ich schon 50 Seiten gelesen hatte. Ich habe das Buch auch nur gegriffen, weil ich spontan was für den Urlaub brauchte und anfangs nicht weiter drüber nachgedacht. Da das Buch nur 200 Seite Leggi tutto

Fascinating I watched the movie The Up Side and loved it, so I immediately bought the book that inspired it. The reality is very different to the fiction. Reading about the life of a man of such wealth and long standing family is like reading about life on Mars for me. It’s fascinating how different Leggi tutto

Can Dostum, iki kitaptan oluşuyor en azından Türkiye'de iki kitap, tek kitap içinde toplanmış. Kitap yazarın yaşam öyküsünü anlatıyor, yazar yamaç paraşütü yaparken geçirdiği kaza sonucu engelli hale gelmiş ve bir süre sonra bu kitabı yazmış. Kitabın Fransa'da film uyarlaması yapılmış ve film çok se Leggi tutto
