Bookseller’s Choice Award in Italy «The revelat

Bookseller’s Choice Award in Italy
«The revelation novel of the year.» 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓

❞In this irresistible debut novel, a freethinking young woman brings a gust of modernity to a traditional small town in Southern Italy, stirring forbidden passions and changing the life of everyone around her.

Anna worries that she’ll never cease to be “the foreigner.” But over the next twenty years, as she ferries letters between secret lovers, men at war, and families near and far, Anna will become the invisible thread connecting a community she never expected to fit into.❞

I can’t wait to read Francesca Giannone’s debut novel ’La Cartera’ (@duomoediciones )!

However, It is not only ’La Cartera’s content that awakens my curiosity; when I saw the beautiful cover, I recognised it as one of P.S Krøyer’s paintings. The Norwegian-Danish painter and his wife Marie created a double portrait in which they painted each other and the cover of ‘La Cartera’ features Marie’s half.

Also, looking at the cover and wondering about the Italian–Scandinavian connection behind it (if there is one), I remembered another Italy related ’encounter’ with Krøyer, this time during our family trip to Rome last April, more exactly at Caffè Greco, popular among foreign artists and intellectuals in the late 19th century. Who happened to be there in 1890? Exactly, Mr. And Mrs. Krøyer! Next to our table was a card, featuring one of his self-portraits, pinned to the wall! Today I’m glad I can’t help taking photos of absolutely everything when travelling (swipe left ←)! ツ

The Krøyers also visited southern areas like Naples and Amalfi. I’m curious whether the choice of cover is a purely aesthetic one? Giannone’s novel is inspired by her own great-grandmother (Italy’s first female post employee!), so maybe there are more true story inputs? I can’t wait to find out!

Excerpts from the brilliant short story collection

Excerpts from the brilliant short story collection ’Unaccustomed Earth’ by Jhumpa Lahiri. Her descriptions and vivid storytelling are something else – and puts a smile on your lips as you immerse yourself in her wonderful stories! I can’t recommend her enough!

❞We who lived in concentration camps can remembe

❞We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

❞The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

❞Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

❞For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

The list of quotes could be endless; Viktor Frankl’s wise words on meaning, overcoming, suffering, resilience and the essence of life (and humanity in general) are more relevant than ever. And I believe the world would be a better place if his books, especially ’Man’s Search for Meaning’, were assigned reading in all schools, in all parts of the world.

Have you read any of them?

🐦‍⬛ I love the symbolic presence of birds on Frankl’s book covers and so does Maja – probably for different reasons… ツ

Tried (but failed!) to suppress the urge to share

Tried (but failed!) to suppress the urge to share my garden’s first dahlias of the year (mine start to bloom when everyone else is digging up their tubers for winter storage!). So to soften the hubris effect, I chose one of my favourite book covers to match the miracle on the tray: ‘Travels with a Writing Brush. Classical Japanese travel writing from the Man’yōshū to Bashō.’ (Penguin Classics).

Have a nice Monday and a good week – hopefully with plenty of flowers and books! ✨💛

My pre-ordered copy of @_kimberlysnyder ’s ’Th

My pre-ordered copy of @_kimberlysnyder ’s ’The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts’ is delayed for another week, so while I wait, I thought I’d read ’The Holy Science’, the teachings of Sri Yukteswar that inspired her work and research on the heart and the heart-brain coherence.

’The Holy Science’ is a short book, but dense with information and insights on astronomy/astrology and the cosmic cycles (Yugas), Yukteswar’s theory about the five stages of the heart (and how these are directly linked to the brain/mind), the parallells between universal religions, the human enlightenment through history, etc.

Some paragraphs benefit from a second (or third!) reading for deeper assimilation, and I really appreciated that this edition includes a chapter with additional content explaining the teaching’s key topics (and yes, I loved the cover! ✨).

This book is a true gem if you have an interest in ancient teachings, philosophy and the science behind human growth – and the fascinating theory of the five hearts! Now I can’t wait to read @_kimberlysnyder’s book! 🧡

Two of the brilliant descriptions I underlined in

Two of the brilliant descriptions I underlined in my copy of Jhumpa Lahiri’s ‘Interpreter of Maladies’, a short story collection that comes anything but short!

❞Each day, Shukunar noticed, her beauty, which had once overwhelmed him, seemed to fade. The cosmetics that had seemed superfluous were necessary now, not to improve her but to define her somehow.
(from ‘A Temporary Matter’)

❞Yet it was his mother, Eliot had thought, in her cuffed, beige shorts and her rope-soled shoes, who looked odd. Her cropped hair, a shade similar to her shorts, seemed too lank and sensible, and in that room where all things were so carefully covered, her shaved knees and thighs too exposed.
(from ‘Mrs. Sen’s’)

❞We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
– Anaïs Nin
