Book

The Elegance of the Hedgehog (2008)

Una donna di cinquantaquattro anni e una ragazzina di dodici. Apparentemente distanti, ma intellettualmente affini. Entrambe alla ricerca di un nascondiglio. L���una dal senso di colpa per un "amore per il sapere", che giudica assurdamente inadatto al suo ruolo sociale. L���altra dalla vacuit�� d...

L’Elégance du Hérisson (2000)

This is one of the most thoughtful books I have ever read, at the top with some of Coelho's works. Books like these are why we read; it is one that I will visit year after year and that which has shaped a lot of my own current life views. A social satire, its very intelligent writing, subtle sarc...

Estasi culinarie (2000)

In the past month, having actually been on the Rue de grenelle and having heard someone talk about the Elegance of the Hedgehog (by the same author), I found this title and thought I'd try it.

The Gourmet (2000)

Rapsodia Gourmet (2000)

This is the most sophisticated language about food i have ever encountered. Fascinating and stunning descriptions of food and food lovers, a perverse obsession with reviews and judging cooking. The book raises many questions about the importance that we assign to food in our first-world culture. ...

L'eleganza del riccio (2007)

Elegant writing, touching sentiments, blatant erudition, a profound but accessible novel - what's not to like? Renee Michel is a fifty-four year old concierge, a widow who is not what she seems. Paloma Josse is a conflicted twelve year old contemplating arson and suicide when she becomes a teenag...

La elegancia del erizo (2007)

What's a wonderful book! I listened to an Audible version of this book with narrators Barbara Rosenblat and Cassandra. I can't decide if I like the book or the narrators. Either way, I have enjoyed it immensely.The story has two "kindred spirits": Renee, a 54 year old concierge and self proclaime...

A Elegância Do Ouriço (2000)

I enjoyed the observations of Renee and Paloma. Great book club selection. Just not my type of story. I wasn't able to connect to either of the main characters.
