Diego has kindly invited me to list the five most significant books in my training-psychological literature. I've got thought and thought ... and it was not easy ... I finally managed to compile a list ... even though there are many other books that might have pleased me more than anything I have listed below. The principle rationale for this is due to the fact that, in my opinion, not necessarily a good book, just because genius or just well written, necessarily has an impact on the reader's life ... but these have had:
Waiting for Godot (Waiting for Godot) - Samuel Beckett
A country road. A tree.
Evening.
Estragon, sitting on a low mound, is Trying to Take Off His boot. He pulls at it with BOTH hands, panting.He Gives up exhausted, rests, tries again.
As before.
Enter Vladimir.
ESTRAGON: (giving up again). Nothing to be done.
VLADIMIR: (advancing with short, stiff strides, legs wide apart). I'm beginning to come round to that opinion. All my life I've tried to put it from me, saying Vladimir, be reasonable, you haven't yet tried everything. And I resumed the struggle. (He broods, musing on the struggle. Turning to Estragon.) So there you are again.
ESTRAGON: Am I?
VLADIMIR: I'm glad to see you back. I thought you were gone forever.
ESTRAGON: Me too.
La Cosa Buffa – Giuseppe Berto
In quel tempo di mezzo inverno benché he went every afternoon sun on the terrace of the Café Zattere, ie in a rather unpleasant and not at all cheered by the happy little things that can be found in Venice a city which is wet during the cold season, Antonio had particularly wanted to die. That so his behavior may well be a little 'messed up and corresponding to a confused state of mind at least, but apart from the consideration that those who truly aspire to be a starting from the world of the ordinary right to seek the places where less burdensome stay, in the case in question there is in illuminating the fact that right on the terrace of Cafe Antonio Zattere for the first time Mary and had seen precisely this Maria as much without her fault of course was linked to his occasional and this desire to die.
Nana in Milan - bicycles Arrighi (Carlo Righetti)
Given that the incipit has been reported (found next door) I took a random page ...
"I do not say this ... I will not name anyone I ...
speak in general. It is enough to know that turbid water is not good mirror.
Here in Milan we are young, so-called good kind,
wasted time, money and health in horses, dinners, ball in
... in revelry, in Frascheri short, and I know not. "
" I do not really have such intentions - said Henry severely
.-- In college I was taught what it takes to become a
man who can do justice to their country. "
"You comfort me, dear Henry - Fr Ignatius cried with joy .--
I feel like talking so Barnabiti"
Henry smiled.
"So we understand each other. Now we come to moral. You do not already have more money
any of what I sent to make the trip. "
" Not only did I have more than that, but because, without the
wholesale account, what you sent me not was
enough to come to Milan
...." "What! how! You're wrong "
" I did not want to see me cry and I took a cuppa
everything to me, dear uncle. You have sent me money to travel measured in
second places. "
" I always travel in seconds. "
" Not me, always in the first. So I did pay two hundred francs from a fellow who should be
refers them immediately. "
" bad start! "
Zamora - Roberto Perrone
" Tel Chi el Zamora. "
For many years, when leaning on the counter a grab bar or handrail of a tram, in the tone of a customer ordering a coffee or hoarseness in the winter of a stranger traveling companion seemed to recognize the voice of the engineer Gusperti and was preparing to undergo his lines, or, realizing that it was not (could not) he came back with a penalty deep in relation to himself the humiliation of the past. It 's funny how the discomfort and shame are more ingrained, as grama grass, in memory of small but important victories snatched from life. Accountant Walter Vismara his moment of glory had been, and how, more and vindictive against insults, but that history had left a fund bitterness, as a mild punishment, and yet present. And do not tell anything, even if in the end could be seen as a triumph. I do not tell others, but he told himself, because even after years, it seemed absurd that adult men could upset their lives behind a ball.
The Catcher in the Rye (The young Golden) - JD Salinger
If you really want to hear this story, maybe you want to know first where I was born and how my childhood was disgusting and what they were doing my parents and company before I arrived, and all that crap to David Copperfield, but I do not feel like just talking about it. First, that stuff bothers me, and second, my parents would be a couple of heart attacks for one if I say something too personal about them. I'm terribly sensitive about these things, especially my father. Nice and all - who denies that - but also pretty darn likely. Besides, I do not want to put myself to tell my whole goddamn autobiography and the rest.
Waiting for Godot (Waiting for Godot) - The teen ... literally went mad and had a taste of the true meaning of the word "genius"
The funny thing - because even a love that seems to have all the prerequisites for lasting 'infinite can ... vanish overnight ... and nobody knows why ... well, then there are all the corn and continue with their lives ... as if nothing had happened.
Nana Milan - Because there is nothing more grotesque bourgeois hypocrisy ... a book ... which only disgustingly current reading a few lines ... can make me laugh greatly.
Zamora - Why the simplicity will win over all ... backed up by true feelings.
The Catcher in the Rye - Because if you listen carefully you will say, express, even if you do not know what to say or you're so confused be afraid, even if the grammar did not understand a chip. Do not say something just because the sound is nice because you have to say ... say it ... and because you know inside you tenertela would suffocate!
I also wanted to mention, of course ... "The Dark Side" by G. Berto, "La Vita Agra" by L. Bianciardi, "Fosca" Tarchetti and the "Newspaper of Gianburrasca" of Vamba.
The five steps in which the word is (of course ... raga do it only if you want to do it):
Silvio
Raffaella
M1979
Gigi Massi
Gianfranco
E Barbi ... if ever a picture of one latrine and one can find the time:)
And anyone else wants to join ... do not compliment!
