After all the DVDs, maybe you want to buy a book for x-mas or for a birthday? Then I can recommend my new discovery!
Elisabeth Gilbert surely known as the writer of -Eat, Pray, Love- has given out a new book and it's a big one. It's different to the last one but also keeps the track on the growing theme. It's a book about a women who has the luck to be a kid of a rich father and therefore be able to discover many things by herself as this plays in a time where women had less then zero education.
It's a story of a family and a women growing in and out of it and how she discover that there is more then being a smart mind.
As with eat, pray, love- Elisabeth is able to express with a rich language and a lot of understandable pictures her story and the journey you follow with it.
This book is in no way a women(s) book as it contains adventure, the jungle, a rising Philadelphia and the old Europe and science from that time.
It's not a love story book, but a book about reconnecting mind, body and soul with the help of nature and other people.
I sure had not a single boring minute reading it and it was not a bit to much or uncomfortable to read, thought with next to 600 pages, it took its time.
Just the much alive picture you get from our past and history is so much fun to read.
I just hope that this book will be better translated into other languages then - eat, pray, love- as those bad translations killed the book. Especially the german translation was catastrophic.
You see it was and is a New York Times Bestseller, but that does not mean a book is good.
Here I can say it is. Refreshing use of language- not too complicated, not too simple- and a story who surprise you and while reading you wonder what's next as this book has so many pages. The book is also written in a way so you can understand the upcoming things. Which I really liked as it also did ad a lot of color to the book and you are able to learn some more things in the same time. Yes, you can discover a new world that way and relate to it.
And after all it is a book of hope, which in the end will tell you it is never to late to change or just be better then you are now. A book for long travels or holidays? Absolute, as you travel in time and space with this book.
Also I think this book is most needed in our time- as it is about education for all and about education of mind and soul! And it is about equality. It is not that long ago that we started to fight for just those things. Just now we have a backlash and so this reminder is very much appreciate.
Have fun reading it self or give it to someone who'll will have the luck to enjoy these letters.
Love & Light
