The Aspern Papers by Henry James.
The Aspern Papers is a novella written by Henry James, originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1888. It is the story or rather the quest of an American editor – he is also the unnamed narrator of the story – to obtain a collection of letters by the American Romantic poet Jeffrey Aspern.

“We were a little group of geniuses thrown together by chance”
It was late in 1919, that Georges Simenon was introduced to the group by his friend Henri-J. Moers. He left soon after the suicide of his friend Joseph Kleine, one of the members of ‘La Caque’, one Christmas Eve. (He hanged himself on the portal of Saint-Pholien Church).

When Bill Bryson stays “At Home”
Just a short note about the book I just read, ‘At Home: A Short History of Private Life’ by Bill Bryson. Despite the enormous amount of information, more than someone can actually process, this is a fascinating and enjoyable book. Bill Bryson did a prodigious amount of research on the history of nearly everything from architecture to epidemics and toilets to crinolines and wigs.

Books and Art. Rosie Leventon’s Environmental Art Installations.
What initiated my interest in Rosie Leventon’s artwork – mainly because of my passion for books – are her sculpture installations made by paperback books.

O Δημήτρης Μαμαλούκας και η ‘Κοπέλα που σε λένε Φίνι’
Κοπέλα που σε λένε Φίνι. Τόσο βίαιο και συγχρόνως τόσο τρυφερό. Το θέμα του σκληρό, οι χαρακτήρες μοιάζουν να είναι απόκοσμοι και ταυτόχρονα συνηθισμένοι και καθημερινοί. Οι καταστάσεις που βιώνει η ηρωίδα της ιστορίας, Φίνι, απάνθρωπες, συχνά σταματάς το διάβασμα, αναρωτιέσαι μέχρι που μπορεί να φτάσει η σκληρότητα, αλλά και η ανθρώπινη δύναμη και αντοχή.
Συνεχίζεις όμως. Δεν μπορείς να σταματήσεις. Χάνεσαι μέσα στον κόσμο της Φίνι. Ο αγώνας της για επιβίωση και ελευθερία, η απλότητα του λόγου της σε συνεπαίρνει και δεν μπορεις παρα να την ακολουθήσεις μέχρι το τέλος, όταν πια όλα αποκαλύπτονται με απρόσμενο και τραγικό τρόπο.
