Tire mysteries to me. Amuse horror. So when in the depths of the internet wyszperałam information that
Club Dumas, a reading which I had to take, is part thriller and part horror story, I was not too thrilled. Sceptycym accompanied me for the first few pages, but happily, in due time disappeared.
Revelations, it is true, it was not. Crime as I did not like, so I do not like - maybe, if I plot had nothing to reproach, zdołałabym to convince, but and there were some clashes and the slack in the seemingly well-oiled, the logical mechanism ... For the horror and convince me
Club Dumas could not, because on this hybrid literary genre in which this book forms, are few. I found, however, and something for everyone - as the name suggests, the novel Pérez-Reverte is also the story of Dumas in the background, a story about books and love them, to the flavor suitable topic other than the demonic and the well-known vision of the devil.
not ever going through phases of interest in literature and cinema, "the devil", a literary images Satan, I know very little, in my imaginings, he was always very one-dimensional (except may be read in a long time ago
Master and Margarita), so caught my attention and delighted me, as the heroes saw him
Club Dumas. Desperately rebellious, lonely, longing for heaven. Seductive gentleman in a hat and a cane, like a lover with an old film, rozkochujący teenage girls in each. Carrying the light of knowledge, inquisitive learner, a man opens his eyes and forcing him to constant research, and abounding in painful disappointment, sentencing him to the uncertainty, yet it is inseparable companion of the most precious gift - consciousness. This is accompanied by, and differs from the usual vision of God - there is a dictator surrounded by archangels, "disciplined as Nazis."
Attractiveness in my eyes, they added this book definitely threads with a biography of Dumas, passages about how to create and veins, and photographs (in fact the only one, but a rarity) and information about people, for which designs were the heroes of his novels. I thought that przypadną I also liked the similarity between the fictional
Three musketeers a history of Lucas Corso - because I like stories from the past told again, in today's realities. Unfortunately, in this case, the analogy seemed very far-fetched, and if, for example, Zadie Smith, in his
The beauty every move wonderfully clever surprising ties to the work of Forster, it here relationship with the elements of Dumas's novel was not so obvious.
Here and there I met with the opinions that
Club Dumas is przeintelektualizowany, and fragments of sound overly academic literature. For me, these fragments were the source of the highest readership of fun - And I do not think that was too "learned" and boring for the average reader. Moreover, they were not - to my disappointment - too much. Bored me for a discourse on the art of printing and bookbinding (which, fortunately, also accounted for a modest percentage of the volume of the book). I smiled just sad when brothers Cenizowie sorry for carelessness with which these days comes to the issue of books. Many medieval volumes have survived until today, while modern "life expectancy" of the average the book is reportedly 70 years. I smiled, because it is 70 years or so it seems to me exaggerated estimate - many a book which I had the opportunity to read, rozklejać began at the first reading. (Another thing that simply can not afford me a better issue for which today we need to pay exorbitant amounts sometimes.)
At the end - interesting to hear your experience was not so long ago denounced an opinion on the noble and righteous, like musketeers, paragraph one of the heroines

So it was interesting reading. Now, surely it falls to me to watch a movie based on demon Polanski thread
Club. Both Depp in the role of Lucas Corso and Irene Adler Seigner as seem to me to be a total misconception of what is true, but on the Ninth Gate

*** Just a few words with no connection with peer review - I read very little lately, and I'm so bad. Forced to the hottest pre-session period to study the Life of attachment-style food-science-sen, greedily I use bits of time on the road to college - marching bravely with a book in his hand, ignoring the streetlights and curbs. Podczytuję Hrabal story excerpts and Katherine Mansfield, timidly peek into the newly purchased, alluring illustrations terribly worrying aloud extremely close Foer. Proust as long as I do not dare to touch. Sometimes I hear statements that if only someone very keen, there's always time for reading. This is not true.
