Δεύτερο βιβλίο του συγγραφέα που διαβάζω, μετά το πολύ καλό και ιδιαίτερο 'Εγώ δεν φοβάμαι' που διάβασα τον Φεβρουάριο του 2015. Εκείνο ήταν ένα δραματικό βιβλίο, μια ιστορία ενηλικίωσης με στοιχεία εγκλήματος και μυστηρίου, με τον συγγραφέα να είναι σοβαρός, αυτό που μόλις τελείωσα είναι ένας συνδυασμός κοινωνικής σάτιρας, μαύρης κωμωδίας και περιπέτειας, με τον συγγραφέα να έχει κάμποση όρεξη για πλάκα και υπερβολές. Ο Ιταλός μεγιστάνας Σασά Κιάτι διοργανώνει στην Βίλα Άντα -ένα άλλοτε δημόσιο Δεύτερο βιβλίο του συγγραφέα που διαβάζω, μετά το πολύ καλό και ιδιαίτερο 'Εγώ δεν φοβάμαι' που διάβασα τον Φεβρουάριο του 2015. Εκείνο ήταν ένα δραματικό βιβλίο, μια ιστορία ενηλικίωσης με στοιχεία εγκλήματος και μυστηρίου, με τον συγγραφέα να είναι σοβαρός, αυτό που μόλις τελείωσα είναι ένας συνδυασμός κοινωνικής σάτιρας, μαύρης κωμωδίας και περιπέτειας, με τον συγγραφέα να έχει κάμποση όρεξη για πλάκα και υπερβολές. Ο Ιταλός μεγιστάνας Σασά Κιάτι διοργανώνει στην Βίλα Άντα -ένα άλλοτε δημόσιο πάρκο της Ρώμης και τώρα η μεγαλύτερη ιδιωτική κατοικία της πόλης- μια χλιδάτη γιορτή, ένα εκκεντρικό σαφάρι, ευελπιστώντας να μείνει στην ιστορία ως το σπουδαιότερο κοσμικό γεγονός του αιώνα. Καλεσμένοι είναι ένα κάρο διάσημοι - πολιτικοί, δημοσιογράφοι, εκδότες, γιατροί, ποδοσφαιριστές, μοντέλα, διάφορες τηλεοπτικές γλάστρες.

Καλεσμένος είναι και ο μεγάλος Ιταλός συγγραφέας Φαμπρίτσιο Τσίμπα. Σ'αυτή την γιορτή θα βρεθούν ως εργαζόμενοι και τέσσερα μέλη της σατανικής αίρεσης Τα Κτήνη του Αββαδώνα, η οποία βρίσκεται υπό διάλυση, με τον αρχηγό της να ονειρεύεται να γίνει η διασημότερη σατανική αίρεση παγκοσμίως. Η όλη βραδιά θα καταλήξει σ'ένα πραγματικά αποκαλυπτικό χάος. Το βιβλίο δεν έχει και την καλύτερη βαθμολογία στο Goodreads, κάτι που πιστεύω ότι έχει να κάνει με το γεγονός ότι το βιβλίο απλά δεν είναι για όλα τα γούστα και όχι γιατί δεν είναι καλογραμμένο, ενδιαφέρον και σχετικά πρωτότυπο.

Προσωπικά μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ, τόσο η ίδια η ιστορία, που ήταν γεμάτη τρελές σκηνές, λίγη καφρίλα, πολλές υπερβολές και αρκετή πλάκα, όσο και η γραφή του συγγραφέα, που μου φάνηκε εξαιρετική, άκρως ευκολοδιάβαστη και εθιστική, με όρεξη για σάτιρα και μαύρο χιούμορ. Επίσης οι χαρακτήρες δεν ήταν όσο καρικατούρες περίμενα ότι θα ήταν, είχαν βάθος και ενδιαφέρον, μπορώ να πω ότι συμπάθησα τους περισσότερους (σίγουρα τους δυο πρωταγωνιστές).

Το βιβλίο δεν το αγόρασα με το που κυκλοφόρησε στα ελληνικά στις αρχές Μαΐου, γιατί κάτι στην βαθμολογία του με κράτησε μακριά. Όμως το βρήκα με ένα δεκάρικο σε άριστη κατάσταση πριν λίγες μέρες και είπα 'δεν πάει στο παλιάμπελο'. Έτσι και αλλιώς η περίληψη μου είχε κινήσει από την αρχή την προσοχή. Χάρηκα πολύ που το αγόρασα και το διάβασα, μιας και πέρασα πολύ ωραία. Όμως δεν το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε όλους, γιατί δεν είναι για όλα τα γούστα.

Έχω δυο αδιάβαστα βιβλία του συγγραφέα στην βιβλιοθήκη μου ('Λάσπη', 'Με τις ευλογίες του Θεού') και σίγουρα θα αγοράσω το 'Άννα', που θα κυκλοφορήσει από τις εκδόσεις Μεταίχμιο γύρω στον Οκτώβριο. Ωραία η έκδοση του Καστανιώτη, με προσεγμένη μετάφραση. At first I thought this was supposed to be a satire, but I wasn't sure what exactly was being satirised. Italian society as a whole? The literary scene? It seemed to lack focus. But as it went on I realised that it was just a lurid, violent black comedy without very much to say about the world.

Maybe if you accept that you might find it entertaining, and some of the scenes involving the pathetic, failed satanist sect are quite amusing. But I was put off by the misogyny (all the female characters At first I thought this was supposed to be a satire, but I wasn't sure what exactly was being satirised. Italian society as a whole?

Maybe if you accept that you might find it entertaining, and some of the scenes involving the pathetic, failed satanist sect are quite amusing. But I was put off by the misogyny (all the female characters boring and only described in leering physical terms).

The set up was interesting enough that I kept reading to see where it went, and I liked the bizarre sub-plot about the Soviet athletes, but I didn't really *care* about any of it. The book has its faults.

Some of the descriptions are a bit heavy-handed and the short chapters mean you’re continually flipping from one storyline to the next and back. It all adds to the general feeling of disorientation though. Remember what Wikipedia says about a farce—“viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed”—well the same goes for readers here and, yet, to be fair, I picked up on all major plot points throughout the reading; The book has its faults.

Remember what Wikipedia says about a farce—“viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed”—well the same goes for readers here and, yet, to be fair, I picked up on all major plot points throughout the reading; it was really the background clutter that went out of focus from time to time which is how I managed to miss the hippos. The book’s funny, although you really need a dark sense of humour to appreciate much of it, and it’s tragic, too; in fact tragedy wins out at the end despite the happyish ending.

It’s not a book I would’ve bought and since I was hoping for something more like Me and You—which I read recently and enjoyed—I was a bit disappointed by this one but that’s not the author’s fault. I much preferred Peter Sellers in Being There to Peter Sellers in The Party: horses for courses. Read my full review. Niccolo Ammaniti first came into my life through the superb, thrilling novel 'I'm not scared' a couple of years ago.

The writing was clever, suspenseful and exquisite, the storyline intriguing and surprising. So, as soon as I heard that his latest book had been translated I got myself a copy (this time, on audio, read by the absolutely outstanding Rupert Degas, whose accents and intonations are flawless). Well, if anyone told me that there was a misprint on the cover, and it's in fact written by Niccolo Ammaniti first came into my life through the superb, thrilling novel 'I'm not scared' a couple of years ago.

Well, if anyone told me that there was a misprint on the cover, and it's in fact written by a different author I'd believe it!

It couldn't be more different to 'I'm not scared' if it tried! The writing is still clever, but much wittier with lots of absurd dialogue and inner thought processes.

The story is told from various people's perspectives in the third person, predominantly by a hen-pecked, spineless accountant who runs a satanic cult behind his wife's back, and secondly by a vain, egocentric writer who is a manipulative strategist in every situation. The book is full of wackos and weirdos, and whilst this is very entertaining, it does get a bit tiring when even as far as chapter 77 (out of about 82) we are introduced to someone else, still.

If you enjoy satire, crazy situational comedy, shock value violence and a bunch of flawed but fascinating characters, I'd recommend this to you! Che piaccia o no e’ un altro discorso! Grottesco e caricaturale il romanzo fornisce la certezza che Ammaniti sa fare il suo mestiere. Il testo non contiene parola, affermazione, frase che non siano giustificate o documentate. Ogni luogo e’ descritto, ogni personaggio sembra scolpito nella pagine e non puo’ essere immaginato se non nel modo in cui l’autore l’ha concepito. Che piaccia o no e’ un altro discorso.

Il romanzo manifesta un sentito disappunto nei confronti di un’Italia povera di contenuti Che piaccia o no e’ un altro discorso! Grottesco e caricaturale il romanzo fornisce la certezza che Ammaniti sa fare il suo mestiere. Mezmur Mp3 Free Download.

Il testo non contiene parola, affermazione, frase che non siano giustificate o documentate. Ogni luogo e’ descritto, ogni personaggio sembra scolpito nella pagine e non puo’ essere immaginato se non nel modo in cui l’autore l’ha concepito. Che piaccia o no e’ un altro discorso. Il romanzo manifesta un sentito disappunto nei confronti di un’Italia povera di contenuti e piena di sola apparenza, dove la ricchezza naturale di una citta’ intera diventa appannaggio di un mafioso, dove l’uomo si arroga il diritto di regolare le leggi della natura, dove non esistono rapporti umani, solo quelli commerciali, dove a tutto ci si appiglia pur di fuggire dalla quotidianita’ di una esistenza vuota, anche a una setta satanica.

In questo spacco da cui nessuno esce assolto Ammaniti tralascia, forse volontariamente, il lato umano dei suoi personaggi. Mantos, Fabrizio, Zombie, Silvietta sono caricature grottesche ed esasperate del marcio Italiano e per essere tali perdono le peculiarita’ e le sfumature del singolo individuo. Interessante la conclusione: la salvezza da una vita svilente e frustrante si puo’ trovare soltanto nelle profondita’ degli abissi e chiudendo le porte ad ogni contatto sociale.

Forse si puo’ trovare una soluzione meno tragica ma considerando I toni sopra le righe del romanzo non sarebbe pensabile una conclusione non drastica. I picked up a few books at random at the library seeking some lighter reads and surprise. Super Mario War Download Softonic Mac here. Sometimes I do that and find myself predicting the characters and the plot and soon wrestling with not wanting to abandon a read. This spot of foolishness and high farce is still firmly rooted to the ground: a rolling frolic of amusement but not without offering more to reflect upon if you feel like it (and you should). My travels into Italy have not yet taken me to Rome and I think now something of the spi I picked up a few books at random at the library seeking some lighter reads and surprise.

Sidenote: Once I came across the word 'yobbo' I double checked to note that the translator for this edition is Australian. 'Fatso/fatsos' is also used to great descriptive effect later in the novel.

Bold choices not to go for neutral English.

Un altro Ammaniti per antonomasia. Non c'e' storia d'amore ne' finale da batticuore ma l'ironia e' immancabile.

Una parodia dei nostri tempi, portata all'estremo per gli eventi pazzeschi che poi tanto pazzeschi non sono. La superficialita' della gente, il magico mondo 'droga sesso successo e silicone ' dello star system, la vita umana che sembra avere sempre meno valore. Ebbene si signori e signore: l'autore ci fa ridere, un sacco a mio parere, e lo fa proponendoci delle pagine talmente assurde che poi non ti resta che fermarti un istante e chiederti quanto la realta' disti dalla fantasia dell'autore. Per chi ama lo scrittore, sicuramente da aggiungere alla libreria.
