What Is The Safeway Icing Recipe

QPGA Claudio Baglioni


time ago, when you zap with the remote, I ended up "weather" and I found that interviewing Fabio Fazio Claudio Baglioni on his first novel QPGA, Mondadori .
The interview intrigued me, so I just had the chance, I bought the book convinced that they possess a magic.
Well, the disappointment would soon be revealed.
I'm not a fan of Kelly - I must preface this - in the sense that I never bought his album and then did not know the history of Big love already told in the 1972 album, let alone was able to make comparisons and related addition and subtraction. I just read the book as if I read a new book by any author. If history is a more or less forty may be nostalgic for the taste in the mouth adolescence and first love amplifying their memories, the narrative style along with some passages rather bored. Or at least bored me. Sometimes there is a presence of highbrow points forcefully, but at times reads like a romance rose style Harmony.
What I really do not like it? An example: the description of the first sexual intercourse. Baglioni wanted to make the magic moment, describing it with words poetic without ever saying clearly what they were doing, Andrea and Giulia. Nice idea, with the parallelism of the storm, sea, rain. But in the end it really all over. Poetry extremist. Words writhing intellectualized feelings.
I find it hard to understand: I had the impression that the book (like the film, I suppose) is facing a public audience Moccia style ... but then some parts are quite inappropriate for that audience. Conversely I thought the result would be that of adults, perhaps even fairly educated, but then again, this result does not include certain other parties. I do not know, I have the impression that it lacks balance QPGA
What certainly does not lack is a huge car show and spectacle: a film, a book, a concert event, a new record ... tritasoldi gear.
Mah .. sometimes, like Vasco Rossi says in his song, Just A Little ...

Biotene Mouthwash Made My Gums Sore

Big Brother in "1984" by George Orwell



I had not read "1984" by George Orwell, Mondadori Editore , I did recently in a couple of days.
What can I say? So I had heard of the Orwellian Big Brother, then it had been written in 1948 by projecting the future history already know.
1984 is equally clear that Orwell did not want to do with the story of Cassandra nor the reader has to go a ricercare ciò che davvero è accaduto oppure no.
Un classico moderno che vale la pena leggere, non fosse altro anche solo per toccare con mano a che punto possa arrivare la fantasia umana...Perché, senza perdere mai di vista l'anno in cui è stato scritto, ci si trova di fronte un testo che ha superato la fantasia stessa planando e atterrando sopra alla realtà.
È un libro davvero inquietante in cui l'essere umano non esiste più se non nella sua forma fisica. Niente libertà se non la libertà di seguire il partito.
È impossibile pensare che le scelte letterarie di Orwell non siano state profondamente influenzato dall'epoca in cui aveva vissuto e viveva: la dittatura fa da padrone del testo. Da qualche parte I read that in 1984 there is no physical violence, but only psychological? Really?? And they are subjected to physical torture traitors, including Winston, where the reporter has forgotten that?
Terrible violence, physical and mental.
There are steps that I have questioned ... why Winston writes 2 +2 = 5? He really sold? Then I discovered that in a different writing Orwell Winston decides that leaves open the sum ... Hope? Maybe I would have liked more like a final. Instead, unfortunately, society does not leave Orwell's way out ... even in Prole who were my hope, as well as that of Winston.
distressing this really Big Brother, which has little to do with the modern Great Brother if not for what concerns the hidden cameras ... Or is the choice of the title of Endemol wants only to tell us that the protagonists of BB 9 (and all previous) are fully operable and addicted to their Big Brother?
In any case: a nightmare.
