Review: Amok

Amok by Stefan Zweig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Più che una novella... un valzer che, nel girotondo ubriacante, suona il crepuscolo degli dei.

I valori di un tempo non possono sopravvivere e neppure creare ma solo finire in mare.

Review: Under the Moons of Mars

Under the Moons of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I closed my eyes, stretched out my arms toward the god of my vocation ande felt myself drawn with the suddenness of thought through the tracless immensity of space. There was an instant of extreme cold and utter darkness.
(page 18)

...but where are the words to describe the glorious colors that are unknown to earthly eyes?
(page 248)


...there rose and fell the glorious words: "For Helium! For Helium!" that for countless ages have spurred on the bravest of the brave to those deeds of valor that have sent the fame of Helium's heroes broadcast throughout the lenght and breadth of a world.
