Last quarter of the MoonNew book purchases for my library which is becoming increasingly swollen. I have now exceeded 1400 books and each purchase becomes a logistical problem to deal with. But I carry on without caring. The first of my latest paper purchases was a book that had intrigued me for a long time, The Cemetery Without Tombstones and Other Black Stories by Neil Gaiman. Those who have read Gaiman speak well of it, the book seems well edited and the stories interesting. Still on the subject of mystery, I picked up The Secret of the Bosco Vecchio by Dino Buzzati, after reading about it in a friend's blog, Interno 2.
I already had the author's famous The Desert of the Tartars . I completed the order with Poe's last work, at least translated into Italian, which I was missing: Maelzel's Chess Player by Edgar Allan Poe. The edition was a disappointment, a Special Data tiny book, limited to 80 pages thanks to an unusual font size. I then decided to take on a Chinese writer, Chi Zijian, purchasing the novel Last Quarter Moon , which deals with the Chinese nomadic tribes, the reindeer people, driven out of the forests after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. Purchases concluded with a book by Arrigo Petacco, Those Who Said No.
The subtitle is 8 September 1943: the choice of Italians in the English and American prison camps. A book dedicated to those Italians who decided not to cooperate with the enemy. Among those Italians there was also my grandfather, who fought in Africa and was then taken prisoner by the English and taken to Great Britain, where he remained for almost seven years, fed, as he told us, with one boiled potato a day.A post titled The Power of the Double-Whammy Headline: How to Increase the Chances of Your Content Being Read became Are two headlines better than one?
