Allan Villa _llanf_illa — This was a great book about a famous female artist, Artemisia Gentilechi, who lived from 1593 to 1653, mainly in Rome, Florence, and Naples. After I read the book I was so intrigued by her that I did some research on the internet and found that even though this book is a novel, that most everything in the book really happened, i.e., the paintings that the book describes, the rape trial, and her friendship with Galileo. I loved looking at the actual paintings online after having read the book. Obviously during this time it would be very difficult to make it as female artist but Artemisia is actually the first female to ever be admitted to the "Acamdemia Del' Arte", an exclusive group of artists in that time. The reasons that I only gave this book four stars were that it jumped forward too quickly and did not explain how she got from point A to B and little details that were left out that should have been an integral part of the story, i.e., it was not revealed until pg. 246 that her daughter had artistic abilities. It also never explained why she never married the creep who raped her (Agostino), as would have been customary for the time and she had always planned on it.....although it was later revealed that he was a married man who had had his wife murdered to marry her.....but then never did? It also bothered me greatly that she left her wonderful position in Genoa just because creepy Agostino was coming there, then later relocated to Rome as a pauper when that was his home town and she went through some much ridicule as people never forgot the rape trial. Why not go back to her wonderful life in Genoa once he was gone? Why go back to his home town? She looks at herself as being selfish and thinking of art only but I really feel like it was Pietro who was selfish, not her. Fun book. I am a historical fiction freak. Let me know if you read it and what you think!

Svetlana Molodchenko svmol — Another one of my all-time favorites. I don't know how I stumbled on this book, but its worth the 955 pages (yeah really!). What I liked best about this book is the exploration of the main characters alienation. He is neither British nor Indian, Christian, Muslim or Hindu, he's everything and nothing all at once. Actually I might recommend this book if you liked Life of Pi. Although I would say that this is a much more thorough and interesting tale. The novel takes place in India in the late 1880s, during a series of battles between Afghanistan and India and other various battles for the East India Company. Ashton (also called Ashok) is born to an English professor and a British mother in India. However his parents die of cholera when he is a baby and he is raised Hindu by a woman named Sita. Ashok lives a life in poverty as an attendant for a noble family and also becomes very close to the games keeper who is Muslim and learns their traditions as well. It's only when he is 13 or 14 that he learns that he is English and not Indian. He's sent to British boarding school and finds himself totally alienated. When he is 18 he joins the Corps of Guides and returns to India. Lots of battles and love affairs follow. This is a great book if you like detailed family sagas and historical novels, since I believe the book is couched in actual events.

Oliver Cameron-swan _bcec — I like the book so far but I think it could be better.

Adam švejda adamsvejda — Larguísimo poema épico sobre la pérdida del Paraíso terrenal tras la tentación de Satán a Adán y Eva. Modélico verso heroico, sin sujección a la rima (en palabras de Milton, "invention of a barbarous Age, to set off wretched matter and lame Meeter". La anécdota nos es conocida, por lo cual el interés se centra tanto en la técnica poética como en las figuras y cuadros que adornan el poema. Muy interesante, pero difícil para el lector.
