In fact the letter had been written by the curate of Verrieres, but the Marquis believe the letter canceling the wedding. Julian goes for revenge and shoots Verrières Madame de Renal during mass. Because of his act he was imprisoned and sentenced to the guillotine. Despite all the plans arranged by two women (Mathilde and Madame de Renal, who survived) Giuliano is ordered.

The continuous quest for power, France during the Restoration, the constant love of the protagonist, are the main themes of the book that make it a masterpiece. The book has a narrative style, very descriptive and accurate in its details. But thanks to a great story can be read with ease. I loved it.

Einaudi

the great friendship between the two characters Mario and Guido was born in the gymnasium. The two boys are very different, Guido has a revolutionary spirit would be able to change the world, while Mario a boy is quiet and shy. Guido had these ideas so big he can not live well in Milan, attend events and activities of the school but soon after decided to leave school and go to see the world. Mario finds himself alone, he enrolled at the university, but this does nothing but increase his depression. But something strange happens, he inherited money from his mother's husband then decides to move to the countryside to cultivate the fields in a biological way.

Throughout this period, Guido has sent letters to Mario where he recounts his travels in Europe, Australia and America. After all this wandering Guido moved to Mario's house and here he wrote his novel, Canemacchina. Was released and was extremely successful.
I liked this book, is about a friendship that survives several difficulties, the desire to live and the rediscovery of the origins of country life.

Simon, came at the end of the University decides to keep her thesis on the workers working in the construction of high speed in Mugello, the so-called "orange jump suits." With her thesis through his childhood to remember his mother, working for thirty years of Rifle. He spends most of his time among the miners who live, work and eat in the same place away from your family, distributes questionnaires to try to understand and combat the loneliness that reads on the faces of the miners. I really liked it, even because it speaks of a very often forgotten and far from us, which we prefer not to cure us. It is always very fluid leaks out and the great author's contribution to the theme of work. To read.
