La caduta di Artù by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien, Sebastiano Fusco (Translator), Gianfranco de Turris (Contributor)

La caduta di ArtùLa caduta di Artù by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cosa avessi realmente pensato quando ho comprato un libro con una poesia di allitterazioni non saprei dirlo, fortunatamente sono stata abbastanza scaltra da prendere il volume in italiano con il testo a fronte, perché era veramente un Tolkien più simile all'elfico che all'inglese. Inoltre nella mia versione le note del figlio si sono rivelate fondamentali per comprendere molto meglio un testo che, da solo, sarebbe stato complesso e non particolarmente piacevole, anche per un'amante della saga di re Artù di lunga data come sono io.

SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard

SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book a lot, it was well written, interesting and as I have lived in Rome for almost 20 years for me it was some type of Epiphany. I liked the way the author decides to "tell the tale" and not strictly following the chronological order, that could have result in a boring lessons. From time to time I got the feeling that I could fell the history devolving in front of me, and it was brilliant.

Questo libro mi é piaciuto molto, era ben scritto ed interessante e siccome ho vissuto a Roma per quasi 20 anni, per me é stata quasi un'epifania. Mi é piaciuto inoltre, il modo non strettamente cronologico in cui l'autrice ha raccontato la storia, che altrimenti poteva risultare noiosa. Poi, ogni tanto, avevo quasi la sensazione di vivere la storia mentre si dipanava davanti ai miei occhi, ed era bellissimo.
