Ich besuche wie schon so oft meine Freundin in Dresden. :)
Und wie schon so oft sind wir einmal mehr in der Buchhandlung gelandet. Jaja.. man kann eben nicht anders wenn man als Bücherwurm in der freien Wildbahn unterwegs ist, und endlich auch mal in eine Buchhandlung kommt die englische Bücher führt. Die kleine Buchhandlung in meinem Dorf hat das leider nicht im Sortiment.
Anyway, es wurden nicht nur Bücher geshoppt. Nein nein. Denn wir haben uns ebenfalls Karten für das Screening von Skylight (für mehr Infos HIER klicken) mit Bill Nighy und Carey Mulligan gekauft. Und ich freu mich darauf wie ein Keks : D Wird hoffentlich so super wie wir glauben.
Jack Kerouac – On The Road
Based on Kerouac’s adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends, whose four cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience. Written with a mixture of sad-eyed naivete and wild abandon, and imbued with Kerouac’s love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz, One the Roadis the quintessential American vision of freedom and hope-vibrant, compelling, and full of wonder.
Alice Walker – The Color Purple
Celie is a poor black woman whose letters tell the story of 20 years of her life, beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her marriage to „Mister,“ a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that her abusive husband has been keeping her sister’s letters from her and the rage she feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.
John Steinbeck – Of Mice and Men
Streetwise George and his big, childlike friend Lennie are drifters, searching for work in the fields and valleys of California. They have nothing except the clothes on their back, and a hope that one day they’ll find a place of their own and live the American dream. But dreams come at a price. Gentle giant Lennie doesn’t know his own strength, and when they find work at a ranch he gets into trouble with the boss’s daughter-in-law. Trouble so bad that even his protector George may not be able to save him…
