In the nineteen-forties in Nazi-occupied Paris, an artist named Marcel Carné made a movie. He filmed it on location on the Street of Thieves, the old Parisian theater street where at one time there was everything from Shakespearean companies to flea circuses, from grand opera to girlie shows. Carné's film was a period piece and required hundreds of extras in nineteenth-century costume. It required horses and carriages and jugglers and acrobats. The movie turned out to be over three hours long. And Carné made it right under the Nazi's noses. The film is a three hour affirmation of life and an examination of the strange and sometimes devastating magnetism of love. Romantic? Oh, babe, it's romantic enough to make a travel poster sigh and a sonnet blush. But completely uncompromising. It's a celebration of the human spirit in all of its goofy, gentle, and grotesque guises. And he made it in the very midst of Nazi occupation, filmed this beauty inside the belly of the beast. He called it Les Enfants du Paradis–Children of Paradise–and forty years later it's still moving audiences around the world. The two fall in love at the conference. They discuss complex social issues such as politics, revolution, and religion. They also share many intimate moments in the lush environment of the Hawaiin islands. Howell SN, Webb S (1995).

timing και έλλειψης συγκέντρωσης) ,αυτό το βιβλίο μου είχε φανεί απλά πολύ περίπλοκο για τα τότε γούστα μου. Σήμερα ο Ρόμπινς επέστρεψε στον θρόνο που του αξίζει! Τι να πρωτοπει κανεις για την "εκρηκτικά" γοητευτική γραφή του. Αν και εκ πρωτης όψεως μπορεί να φανει "λοξός", κάθε παραξενιά του κρύβει ένα βαθύτερο νόημα που σε καλεί να το ερμηνεύσεις και να το κάνεις κτήμα σου. Είναι η πιο "διαδραστική" γραφή που έχω συναντήσει! Κατά τη γνώμη μου, ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να απολαύσεις αυτο το αναγνωσμα είναι να απαλλαγείς από κάθε είδους εκλογικευμένη προσέγγιση και απλά να το αφήσεις να σε παρασύρει. Ακομα και ο πιο έμπειρος αναγνωστης θα χρειαστεί περισσοτερες από μία αναγνώσεις για να "αποκρυπτογραφήσει" όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερα από τα "μαθήματα" ζωής που απλόχερα μας προσφέρει ο Ρόμπινς και που σίγουρα δεν μας διδάσκουν στα σχολεία. Now, I don't want to take anything away from the French resistance. Its brave raids and acts of sabotage undermined the Germans and helped bring about their downfall. But in many ways Marcel Carné's movie, his Children of Paradise, was more important than the armed resistance. The resisters might have saved the skin of Paris, Carné kept alive its soul.” Purvis A, Rambaut A (June 1995).

An amazingly intricate and ambitious first novel - ten years in the making - that puts an engrossing new spin on the traditional haunted-house tale. Quando se ne va il mistero nel rapporto a due, se ne va l’amore. Semplice, no? Il che spinge a pensare che non tanto l’amore è importante per noi, quanto il mistero stesso. Il rapporto amoroso forse è solo un accorgimento per metterci in contatto con il mistero, e desideriamo che l’amore perduri affinché perduri l’estasi di stare vicino al mistero”.Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: Ben de aşığım! Bu lafa değil belki ama, genel olarak, birisine ve birçok şeylere aşığım. Ve diyorum ki aşk üzerine yazılmış en harika şeydi bu okuduğum! Freedom is not about the size of your cage, power of your wings, or non-attachment to a person or a thing. Freedom is about being so truly, madly, and deeply attached to your own soul that you can't bear - if only for a moment - a life that doesn't honor it." Il libro è il regalo di un’amica, l’ho letto qualche anno fa, non lo ricordo benissimo, ma mi basta guardare la copertina per mettermi a sorridere. Lo adoro!

I first read this book in 1981 or thereabouts when I was married to my first husband. I had three children and felt completely trapped in a dangerously toxic, dead-end relationship that I saw no way out of. Leigh-Cheri leaves her attic exile and agrees to marry the handsome, wealthy Saudi Arabian prince A'ben Fizel on the condition he will build her a pyramid as a wedding gift. A'ben Fizel suspects Leigh-Cheri still loves Bernard and sets spies to follow her. While exploring the completed pyramid the night before the wedding, Leigh-Cheri discovers Bernard, alive, preparing to set up dynamite to destroy the pyramid. While the two reconcile, A'ben Fizel seals the pyramid, leaving the lovers to die.

Her misadventures as a pregnant teenage cheerleader in a Seattle university, and as the daughter of self-absorbed royalty in exile, are described in detail that at times resembles elements of fairy tale and romance.

Trapped for weeks, Bernard and Leigh-Cheri survive on wedding cake and champagne while they discuss pyramids, redheads, the Moon, the Argonian message on the box of Camel cigarettes, and the mystery of "how to make love stay." When their supplies run out, Leigh-Cheri decides to sacrifice herself to save Bernard by using the dynamite to make an opening while Bernard sleeps, determining sacrifice is the only way to make love stay. At the last moment, Bernard awakens and attempts to shield Leigh-Cheri from the blast, causing them both to be caught in the explosion.

Ama günümüz olsaydı daha da saçma sapan olabilirdi.

But. Well, I have a house-big heart for comic novelists. I can tolerate their verbose, stylised prose, their cardboard characters acting as mouthpieces for authorial diatribes, their devotion to female genitals (as a ‘peachfish,’ no less), and general disregard for basic narrative techniques. I can tolerate it, but only once a year. I have shot my wad of tolerance, and won’t be venturing Robbinswards again. Maybe I’ll buy a peachfish instead.
