Sinossi
Pamela ebbe un travolgente successo fra lettori di ogni età, ideologia e livello sociale: affascinarono l’efficace miscela di semplicità e critica del sistema sociale, visto “dal basso”, e il moto perpetuo di emozioni, conflitti e tentazioni instancabilmente catturati dal flusso della scrittura. Al lettore di oggi, il romanzo offre l’opportunità di riflettere anche sul bisogno, ben evidente nella protagonista, ma comune a ogni essere umano, di farsi “spettacolo”, di cercare un pubblico davanti a cui esibirsi e da cui ottenere incondizionata approvazione: «è la modernità dei talk e dei reality shows», scrive Valentina Poggi nella prefazione.

When I read classics, it's not all about just reading them. I'm also trying to discover what's made them classics. I want to know why people like them so much. And I can usually figure something out; that's why I end up with so many five star reviews. But this? This piece of shit escapes me. The firs Leggi tutto
It saddens me that Goodreads has no love for this book. First of all, it's one of the earliest novels ever written, so it deserves more respect from that perspective alone. Secondly, you have to place it in its time. Early 18th century readers found this material quite titillating, and of course wan Leggi tutto
I encountered Samuel Richardson's Pamela many years ago as part of my History of the Novel module at university. I was introduced to some great works through that course, and there are two reasons I am grateful for being introduced to this; mostly, because it was the first year the class had read Pa Leggi tutto
