Il Master di Ballantrae
Il Master di Ballantrae | Robert Louis Stevenson
3 posts | 12 read | 7 to read
Un romanzo gotico, e a volte macabro, costruito sul "crescendo" di un antagonismo irriducibile. Scorrono i fondali di guerre dinastiche, avventure corsare, viaggi nelle Indie: pi volte dato per morto, il sempre redivivo signore di Ballantrae, scapestrato, impetuoso e ricco di seduzioni, ricompare ogni volta davanti agli occhi del fratello pi giovane, scombinandone la vita uniforme e risvegliando un'ira che si trasforma in odio profondo.

Pickpick

Fantastic, gripping yarn with a depth that belies its length; fascinating too for its (post)colonial scope. Don't be put off by substandard tv movie adaptations--this is on some other level entirely.

Prompt: Brad Pitt

These are totally different stories but they are both about brothers that are opposites. Both are excellent studies on human nature.

Klou Great job!! 3y

I love how small this book is, with a lovely cover too- over 100 years old. Iv been noticing in old books there is often an image before the title page, with a thin tracing paper like film between. I‘m assuming this is for protecting image bleed and smearing? I love the style and it‘s always so neat to see how much thought was put into choosing an image for the book. Excited that this is in my to read pile. ❤️ #oldbooks #oldbookstores #usedbooks

Amabear Also just realized this is the same author that wrote treasure island! And the book was published in 1889! 6y
