Catholic guilt is some bad shit. Four teenage boys stand on a bridge in the rain, staring down at a fast-flowing river.

You want what is forbidden, and lots of it, even as you condemn it. Jun 21, Giorgia Imbriani rated it liked it.

Both alessnadro and as a group, the boys are obsessed with their interactions with Andre. A haunting novel from one of the masters of contemporary European fiction, Emmaus brilliantly evokes the perils and uncertainties of youth. Our Lady of the Forest. Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days When will my order arrive?

The fears, impulses, confusion and anxiety characteristic of adolescence are complicated for these boys by alessanrro thorough entrenchment into Catholicism with all its repression, sin and the baricxo of punishment.

The Best Books of A Brighter Word than Bright: His phrasing, the way he puts together ideas and stories at the limit of logic, even the choice of words: They follow her down a path of wild actions that destroys their friendship and alters their lives forever. Chi ama i libri sceglie Kobo e inMondadori. If the death of Romeo and Juliet made your mouth water, you’ll find the violent ends in this story delicious.

Tan distintos, tan de vidas incomprensibles. The four boys are: Cinque stelle a Baricco. I recommend this book with hesitation, because I feel it will appeal to a very specific audience.

Imagine a book that will make you wish you could be a teenage Italian Catholic boy the way reading Astonishing X-Men will make you wish you could be a Mutant, despite the enormous and somewhat equivalent difficulties involved on either count.

Jul 26, Amelie De spot rated it it was amazing. Catholic guilt is some bad shit. Call Me by Your Name.

Het is een oproep tot een grenzeloze ambitie, een bijna redeloze hunkering naar betekenis. Daartoe hebben ze me kracht en karakter geschonken, en de nalatenschap van al hun droefheden, opdat ik die zou koesteren. Andre, who has tried to kill herself and is sexually deviant, is the antithesis of the values the boys have grown up with.

Alessandro Baricco (Italian pronunciation: [ale's:andro baˈrik:o]; born January 25, 1958)^[1] is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a wide number of languages. He lives in Rome with his wife and two sons.

Life[edit]

Baricco was born in Turin.^[1]

After receiving degrees in philosophy (under Gianni Vattimo) and piano, he published essays on music criticism: Il genio in fuga (1988) on Gioachino Rossini, and L'anima di Hegel e le mucche del Wisconsin ('Hegel's Soul and the Cows of Wisconsin', 1992) on the relation between music and modernity. He subsequently worked as musical critic for La Repubblica and La Stampa, and hosted talk shows on Rai Tre.

Baricco debuted as a novelist with Castelli di rabbia (translated as Lands of Glass) in 1991.

In 1993 he co-founded a creative writing school in Turin, naming it Scuola Holden after J. D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield. The Scuola Holden hosts a variety of courses on narrative techniques including screenwriting, journalism, novels and short stories.

In the following years his fame grew enormously throughout Europe, with his works topping the Italian and French best-seller lists. Larger recognition followed the adaptation of his theatrical monologue Novecento into the movie The Legend of 1900, directed by Academy Award-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore.

He has also worked with the French band Air, releasing 'City Reading', a mix of the band's music with Baricco's reading of his novel City.

Theater[edit]

• Totem, a literary and musical happening staged in various locations throughout Italy with varying structure and contents. Mostly it consisted of a two-night theatrical event in which Baricco himself, helped by director Gabriele Vacis, actor Eugenio Allegri and musician Daniele Sepe, would read and comment on bits of literature from all centuries and countries, accompanying them with music. In 2001 Rizzoli published the video of Totem recorded in Milan in 1997.
• Novecento, Feltrinelli 1994; The Legend of 1900 (1994) – originally a monologue for theater staged by director Gabriele Vacis, adapted in 1998 into a film by Giuseppe Tornatore, La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano, with music composed by Ennio Morricone.
• Davila Roa, staged only once by director Luca Ronconi. Reportedly a huge fiasco, it was never published in written form.
• Omero, Iliade, Feltrinelli 2004; An Iliad, Vintage International 2004 ( ISBN978-0-307-27539-4 ) – a rewriting of Homer's Iliad consisting of 24 chapters, each telling a part of the story through the eyes and words of a prominent character in the poem. The theatrical event from which the book originated was staged only twice due to its logistic difficulties: it spanned over three nights during which the best contemporary Italian actors would impersonate one character each, eight per night.
