The Sea Book (Conservation for Kids)

Product Information

He tells Charles that being able to change body temperature by force of will is a simple trick, like the Indian rope trick, and that anyone can learn it. Cualquier cosa que no sea aceptar que la gente es libre, incluso para equivocarse, terminará, tarde o temprano, en drama. Al final, ya ni siquiera estoy seguro de si es mejor tratar de imponer tu criterio o dejarse llevar, si ser recordado o caer en el olvido; lo único claro es que la que es imposible de olvidar es esta fascinante novela.

All the feelings that torment the soul are thrust into consciousness and displayed so well that the reading experience is so bad at times. Su infancia humilde y bastante solitaria en Stratford-upon-Avon (algo que no solo encaminó sus pasos hacia el teatro, sino que le marcó con una imborrable fascinación por Shakespeare), marcada por el contraste entre unos padres (él, tímido y bondadoso, más un compañero que un padre; ella, estricta y religiosa) que apenas salían de casa, y sus tíos, ricos y mundanos.

There are fewer fish in the sea than there are adjectives needed to define this inscrutable read, so a deserved five stars from me! A Buddhist cousin, a vitriolic ex lover, another ex, decidedly more doting, an old buddy with enough grudges to kill a friendship, an actor dying to serve his old master and commander, even a teenage boy eager to play the role of the son that never was. A complete fall into the void, something which I had often imagined on aeroplanes, is of course the most terrible thing of all. He wants to be anonymous, but as I can tell anyone from personal experience the last place one can be anonymous is in a small town.

He will jettison the ever-faithful Lizzie without a thought, at the drop of a hat, as he has done several times before. I found this both repelling and compulsive, and the more repulsed I became the less capable I seemed of putting it down. Their relationships start to reveal the shallow ways of Arrowby's self-knowledge, as well as his ability to be a manipulating bully, and a complete belligerent asshole. Here, she perfectly captures the vagaries of human frailties with mellifluous prose, fashioning an intimate tale of one man's obsessions and delusions.I was all the time gazing with a kind of creative passion at her candlelit face, like some god reassembling her beauty for my own purposes.
