Good evening dear readers!
Sorry for my absence.
As you know I went to Pisa for a very interesting translation course.
Really love it.
Tonight I want to talk about a book I found interesting and smart.
The book is "The uncoupling", written by Meg Wolitzer.
This is the jacket:
The book was published in 2011. I decided to buy it (online) and read it after I read an article on an Italian magazine I love (http://www.internazionale.it/) in the section of the books.
When the book arrived, the first thing that made me smile and feel comfortable with the new purchase was the jacket. It is kind of soft. You touch it and it feels like velvet. As you can see in the picture, it is extremely colorful, with dissolving images on the top and on the bottom and it is like being on an airplane watching down the neighborhood, or like flying.. or like being the wind itself, whirling over the city.
I was pleased in taking the book in my hands. I could smell the air too. So great choice for the jacket, dear Meg!!! I loved it.
But it's not over!
As soon as I started reading it I felt a strange sensation. It was an indefinite kind of story. I couldn't tell what I was going to read. A novel? A crime story? Who knew?
The novel analyses the case of this city, where all the women, one by one, lose the desire of having sex with their partners, with no age distinction, with no reason at all. All the girls stop feeling desire towards the physical aspect of love. And they are obligated to look inside of themselves and of their couples. They need to go back to what they were and what they have become. And looking in the most inner part of their souls, hearts and minds, they will discover a new light, and a new perspective, which is not just physical, of the love they experiment for their partners but, first of all, for themselves.
I won't tell you the end of the novel. It is really amazingly written. With no clue of what you will encounter in the next page.
I will not write more. I think the novel speaks for itself.
Just one more thing, visit the author's website: http://www.megwolitzer.com/index.htm
there you can find events with the authors, reviews and contacts.
Have fun!!!
And never forget who you are.

Buona sera a tutti i miei adorati lettori!
Chiedo davvero scusa per la mia assenza.
Ero a Pisa per un interessante corso di traduzione.
Stasera vi voglio parlor di un libro interessante e intelligente.
Il libro si intitola "The uncoupling"(non credo sia stato ancora tradotto in italiano), scritto da Meg Wolitzer.
Iniziamo dalla copertina:
Il libro è state pubblicato nel 2011. Ho deciso di acquistarlo (online) e di leggerlo dope aver letto un article sulla rivista che prediligo (http://www.internazionale.it/), nella sezione dedicata ai libri.
Quando il libro è arrival, il primo aspetto che mi ha fat to sorridere e sentire a mio agio è stata proprio la copertina. Come dire, è soffice. La tocchi e ti sembra fatta di velluto. Come potete vedere dalla foto, è piena di colori, con immagini che si dissolvono sui due lati corti, è come essere su un aeroplano e guardare il vicinato dall'alto, o ancora sembra di volare.... oppure di essere il vento stesso, che soffia verso il basso e passa sopra le case.
Mi sentivo soddisfatta, solo nel tenere quell'oggetto in mano. E si può anche sentire il profumo dell'aria! Quindi, cara Meg, ottima la scelta della copertina!! La adoro!!!
Ma non è tutto!
Non appena ho iniziato a leggere mi sono sentita strana. Non riuscivo a capire che tipo di storia fosse. Un romanzo? Un giallo? Chi lo sa?
Il romanzo analizza il caso di questa città, dove tutte le donne, una dopo l'altra, perdono ogni istinto e passione, desiderio sessuale verso il proprio partner, senza distinzione di età, senza motivo alcuno.
Tutte le ragazze smettono di desiderare l'aspetto carnale dell'amore. E in un certo qual modo sono obbligate a guardare in loro stesse e alla coppia che formano con il loro partner. Hanno bisogno di tornare indietro a quelle che erano, e a cosa erano diventate. E grazie a questo sguardo dentro loro stesse, dentro la parte intima delle loro anime, cuori e menti, scopriranno una nuova luce, e una nuova prospettiva, che non sarà solo fisica, dell'amore che provano verso i loro partner ma, prima di tutto, per loro stesse.
Non vi voglio svelare la fine del romanzo. Riga dopo riga scoprirete una penna incantevole. Non avrete alcun indizio su quello che troverete nella pagina successiva.
Basta!!! Non scrivo più nulla!
Aggiungo solo una cosa importante.
Visitate il sito web dell'autrice: http://www.megwolitzer.com/index.htm
Vi troverete event, recensioni, contatti...
Divertitevi!!!
E non dimenticatevi mai di voi stessi.
