The Book of G: A Standalone Fantasy Romance

Product Information

Like what I said in my review of Zamyatin's "We," I believe I've found a fair explanation of why the books included in the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die made it on the list, and this I found in another listing, the 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die where the Introduction explained the choices by these justifications: I get the idea of him growing from a selfish guy to a better guy... but I'm not a big fan of him ONLY being concerned about her. He doesn't become a better person... he starts to love one other person than himself... and even the way he loves her is a bit selfish. I wanted a deeper redemption arc for him. Continuo a riflettere su questo libro, la delusione brucia parecchio, ero convinto mi sarebbe piaciuto moltissimo, ho fatto di tutto per farmelo piacere. E invece... The story is fragmented weaved with history such as the Milan 1898 riots, the Boer War, WW1 and Trieste at the beginning of the war. Throughout the book G a Don Juan seduces women and the husbands differ in their approaches to his affairs. Violently by shooting him or accepting it with a shrug of the shoulders. I love Lily Archer's works, and she didn't disappoint in her newest release of The Book of G. Starting with a mysterious introduction to our main character G, who has no memories of who he used to be and how he was severely wounded, I was instantly drawn in and wanting to know more. Each character that was introduced was more than just a move to further the plot; they were insights into a world that was both the same and different from our own.

G çiçekten çiçeğe konan bal toplayan bir arı misali kadından kadına koşar, hatta bu davranışı bal arısı değil eşek arısı benzetmesine uymaktadır. Abi-kardeş olan Jocelyn ile Beatrice arasındaki yasak ilişkiyi bilmesine karşın hayatında tanıdığı ilk kadın olan Beatrice ile yatmaktan kaçınmaz. Nuşa, Camilla, Marinka, liste uzayıp gider. This anti-hero, G, is selfish and arrogant but you can’t deny there’s something about him that’s so darn likeable! Part of that is because the heroine Charlie - the most selfless and humble person in the world, ironically - really complements him and brings out the absolute best in him.Loved Gs devotion. I did feel like his need to be fixed went a little too far. For someone who doesnt want their love to come in harms way he just kept pushing on despite the danger. Ma anche nel corso delle sue avventure amoroso-erotiche, Berger è così poco stimolato dal suo personaggio centrale, da immergersi piuttosto nell’anima delle donne ‘conquistate’ e assumerne il punto di vista, siano esse l’indimenticabile Beatrice, la zia che inizia il giovane nipote (il sogno di tutti noi maschietti?), la cameriera Leonie, Mathilde, Madame Camille Hennequin... The driver accompanying you must be the only other person in the front seat. If you are driving with a driver instructor certified in Ontario, you can drive on any road. Not mentioning any names (*cough*Godard), but I do think that many of the other books and movies from that time come off as terribly dated today. Often it's hard to avoid the sense of an author chasing trends. In my view, Berger is able to avoid this by the sheer depth of his commitments, his fidelity to what he sees and understands in the world.

G. non ha una visione della vita, al contrario del suo vigoroso creatore: se ne va per il mondo, sfiorando momenti storici di notevole importanza, presente sul posto, ma mai partecipe. Why does writing about sexual experience reveal so strikingly what may be a general limitation of literature in relation to aspects of all experience?

La mia impressione è che questo romanzo, peraltro il più fortunato nella carriera letteraria di John Berger, premiato col prestigioso Booker Prize, sia più vicino alla sua produzione saggistica che narrativa: se non altro tutte le volte che l’autore sale in cattedra, sceglie di spiegare e di motivare, di insegnare. As a random side note the author added character art, which was such a fun addition... HOWEVER the creature the hag of the bloody stump? Shes supposed to be covered im brown hair. Shes described as hair several times in her creature form. Yet the picture she has no hair? Just naked? Like why add a picture when i literally goes against the words directly after it. No sense!!! Though I believe I know who G truly is given the clues we have in the book’s description and the book itself, I do wish we learned more about G before he fell into that river. We’re often told his actions earned him his scars, but we don’t truly discover what those actions were. However, I enjoyed the ending and a part of me is hoping in a potential sequel. I love their relationship for the most part; how she insults him and he acts like it’s foreplay (until it is)… but they have sexy times before I personally was ready for them to get together. And there’s not enough that happens afterwards in their relationship to warrant the secrets that are kept. Why did it take her so long to tell him she loved him!?I had a great time reading this, such a fun retelling! This was Lord of the Rings meets Beauty and the Beast, and if you have a hard time picturing that, just know that the author pulls it off. We’re in historic France, just like the fairytale, but everything else has pretty much changed. A badly wounded and scarred man known only to himself and others as G has washed up on the shores of a small town, and is gradually healed by an old woman named Madge and a surly stable boy named Charles. He has one thought only, a quest that a mysterious voice from the water gave him before he wound up on the shores of the river. He sets out, grudgingly accompanied by Charles, and they set forth on the seemingly impossible quest. Lo definiscono il romanzo più sperimentale di Berger: magari lo è pure, ma dovrebbero aggiungere anche che è il più datato. Sembra un po' di trovarsi davanti a una messa in scena del Living Theatre, a quell'epoca sconvolgenti. Initially, his tendency to admire in his inamoratas features that might otherwise be unattractive gave the impression that he was drawn to their inner beauties. This book begins as though it is about the attractiveness of being desired for one's true self. But as it progressed I came to realize that only the women are the objects of this realization that they are innately desirable; G. is already wholly aware of his value and ultimately (if not always immediately) desired as a result. These women are simply waiting to be awakened by his admiration for their broad foreheads, greasy hair, or bony elbows. It is a paean to his marvelous self-awareness. Won the Booker prize in the early 70s (not necessarily an auspicious start) and by John Berger; I really wanted to like this. It is the story of G, son of an Italian merchant and his mistress and takes place in before and during the first world war. It is a post-modern novel and its structure isn't conventional. G is essentially a hedonist, a Don Juan (or possibly Casanova) figure. Parts of this are beautifully written, especially the descriptions relating to the early aviators.

Il mio interesse per lei è appena inferiore a quello che provo per G. , scrive John Berger a pagina 186. G" focuses on several key moments: Garibaldi's Italian saga and the early years of the modern Italian state are interlinked with G's conception and childhood, The Boer War coincides with G's sexual awakening, a 1910 aviation first with some of G's conquests as a young man and the Great War with G's apotheosis so to speak... G himself looks for the strange, in women and events, so for example one of his "conquests" is interesting for him only as long as her husband is threatening to shoot him...

Later he was self exiled to continental Europe, living between the french Alps in summer and the suburbs of Paris in winter. Since then, his production has increased considerably, including a variety of genres, from novel to social essay, or poetry. One of the most common themes that appears on his books is the dialectics established between modernity and memory and loss,
