Download or read book A walk through the times Valentino I written by Anna Piccolini and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being transported back to the Roaring Twenties, our main character becomes immersed in the quiet life of the countryside, leaving behind the stunts and adventures with gangsters in order to hide herself from the many admirers of the famous Rodolfo Valentino. This tranquillity, however, will be turned upside down by a certain desire of Anna's, which she will eventually express on the day of her 30th wedding anniversary. Without interruption, she will be transported through time and through countless adventures, to rediscover something that she would never think to be possible to witness with her own eyes: to come into personal contact with a past shrouded in mystery and to forever be an object of interest to the fans of Valentino. Each time period for the main character acts as a subway stop, where the destinations are not represented by places, but instead by years. Who wouldn't want to get to know, up close and personal, the life of the great lover? The amazement of travelling through time, accompanied with many invigorating skirmishes between the two protagonists, is still one of the key elements throughout the course of the novel. After "Valentino and I – Timeless Love" and "My Fabulous Roaring Twenties", the "Valentino and I" trilogy finishes with "Walking Through life". But this is just a quick goodbye, as the mystery lies right around the corner.

Download or read book Valentino and Sagittarius written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two novellas about family life and fraudsters by one of the twentieth century's best Italian novelists. Valentino and Sagittarius are two of Natalia Ginzburg’s most celebrated works: tales of love, hope, and delusion that are full of her characteristic mordant humor, keen psychological insight, and unflinching moral realism. Valentino is the spoiled child of doting parents, who have no doubt that their handsome young son will prove “a man of consequence.” Nothing that Valentino does—his nights out on the town, his failed or incomplete classes—suggests there is any ground for that confidence, and Valentino’s sisters view their parents and brother with a mixture of bitterness, stoicism, and bemusement. Everything becomes that much more confused when, out of the blue, Valentino finds an enterprising, wealthy, and strikingly ugly wife, who undertakes to support not just him but the whole family. Sagittarius is another story of misplaced confidence recounted by a wary daughter, whose mother, a grass widow with time on her hands, moves to the suburbs, eager to find new friends. Brassy, bossy, and perpetually dissatisfied, especially when it comes to her children, she strikes up a friendship with the mysterious Scilla, and soon the two women are planning to open an art gallery. But knowing better than everyone, it turns out, is not that different from knowing nothing at all.
