The Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones

I purchased "The Cathedral of the Sea" intrigued by the commercial success enjoyed. I waited for the 'output' s paperback (large Tea), and at that point, dropping my 13 €, I've brought it home.

The Cathedral is a story, indeed a true historical novel, which tells in 640 pages of family adventures Estanyol, originally sharecroppers and serfs of the Catalonian countryside.

The story begins on the day of the marriage of young Bernat and ending with the maturity of his son Arnau.

In half, 64-year history of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bfull of historical references and accurate reconstructions of places and customs of Catalonia of the fourteenth century.

In romanzone there is a little bit of everything, the rise, fall and redemption of a family. And wars, famine, religious persecution and pestilence. Loves, rapes and inquisition. All at 'shade of the yard of the Church Sea, the church of the people in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bin its construction during those years.

's ability Ildefonso Falcones is surely to make a script that manages to contain its lightness with this wealth of topics. The narrative is fluent and can be read with pleasure, indeed, the end pages slipping fast. A pleasant reading.

And then, is a mine of information about life during the fourteenth century and in particular on that of Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba city I have visited many times but whose story I knew very little.

The many characters in the novel are a diverse and comprehensive gallery of the figures of the time (whose character, however, are also transported to the present day), without thickness or shine with originality.

conclusion, a very interesting book that is read and pleasantly.

missing in my opinion, the spark of absolute genius, but it's a job well done. Without disturbing

Manzoni (there is also a pest here!), Who had read the Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, will find many similarities.

For those who had not read, honestly, I would recommend you start than that!

Emmaus Baricco

Emmaus is the latest novel by Alessandro Baricco and before talking about it, a premise must be author of Turin.

Baricco is a writer who has always divided the critics. His "supporters" appreciate the elegance of the prose pleased, as well as the skill with which tackles the most diverse and original. In short, for them is a cook nouvelle cuisine, which is always delicious and refined dishes, playing with many different ingredients.

His critics, however they perceive it as a technical fop who packed very good knowledge of business best seller, but with no value. In short, this chef's dishes are beautiful to behold and well cooked but do not know anything.

I, synthesizes the two theories, thinking that this is true before, but at the same time that Baricco is a little too inclined to approach the latter.

With this in mind, to speak of Emmaus, will be much easier, because in none of his story like this, there is so much material for the supporters of both factions.

It 's the story of four little boys still minors, pervaded by a deep (?) Catholic faith.

It 's the story of how IlSanto, Luke, Bobby and the narrator (the name does not come out throughout the book), the journey that will lead from the quiet acceptance of tradition, faith and the path designed for them parents and the community, awareness of themselves, their very existence and of 'adventure it is.

ferry to the other side of this awareness is Andre, a beautiful girl, by the innate class and androgynous traits. A girl's life marked by evil and corrupts everything and everyone that approach. At first set and then on their own, the four friends will travel this way, each to different directions and with different outcomes.

It 's a story-style Baricco, I would call for fans, where you will find everything that characterizes - in good and less good - the writer. What can I say? I liked it, but I confess, I am a fan.

To give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe conflicting passions that triggers this writer, there Linko two other reviews, I suppose professional, taken from two different newspapers on-line. Here

Restaurant: Friends

Here's another review for those who want good food in Lucca and Versilia.

The Friends of taste is a little restaurant, just over 30 seats arranged one pretty close to the 'other. And 'situated in the center of Viareggio, Via Cavallotti in at number 45 and from outside, apart from the' teaching, we recognize (barely) for a single light in the room.

The kitchen is strictly fish-only and exclusively serving the catch of the day, the choice can sometimes be limited. Not bad though, because all the dishes are definitely worth mentioning.

But we go to order, how it works.

Meanwhile, you should book well in advance. Additional tables are few and do not rotate during the evening, so having an assured place is a privilege that must be won with patience and determination.

The number is 0584 945 157. Segnatevelo and armed with tenacity. A week ago, shortly after New Year, the first night with vacancies was May 5 (not bad for reservations four months eh?), So the 'There is only one, hoping that someone has since withdrawn.

As luck helps stubborn, you may hear that there is a place to respond. Well, you're ready for Phase 2: pappatoia.

It begins appetizers with seafood of course, in memory 8 courses. Change often, just because depending on the fish but we had:

aubergines stuffed with sea bass

-grouper and shrimp dumpling

-polenta with sauce whitebait

-octopus and beans

-bundle of radicchio and ricotta shrimp

-marinated cod

-cicadas

- Slices of fish that I do not remember it ...

all very good and cooked with skill.

To drown the appetizers, we first used a ball of sparkling wine.

The first four plates were available:

-linguine with prawns Catalan

ravioli with spinach-and-bass

spaghetti with fresh clams with noodles

-redfish

We chose a trio of tastings for the last three, which meant in practice is the first of three courses and asked to have a second bottle of Yellow Ribolla. Excellent all three, even four including Ribolla.

For the second choice was between:

-fried paranza

-fried boneless (squid and shrimp)

-grilled prawns.
In two

we opted for the fried boneless (wonderful), while two others chose the king prawns (good, but they were only three each!).

For the latter, we used a bottle of Grecanico (a note, though good bad choice because it was lighter than the previous year) showed that there is no two without three.

and take the time to finish all four an expression somewhere between the 'stupid and happy and there's the homemade cakes (delicious) and coffee (decent).

Preda now have mystical visions that attracted stylites holy fasting in the column, the owner invites us to the digester. We choose a whiskey and it brings us in front of a shelf containing dozens of bottles (for my modest culture) the most valuable. I ask for a whiskey that is not peaty Laphroigh the table and puts us on a full bottle of a special selection of production on the 'island of Islay. Obviously, we test the generosity with 'great spirit.

Well it's time to go, because even at midnight, as a sign reads, it's time to go to sleep.
The bill, all inclusive, is 35 eur each.

A rare place that deserves the acrobatics necessary to book. Excellent raw materials, excellent cuisine (no inventions, but solid kitchen Viareggio) comfortable and cozy, cellar smart labels without garish but good wines by the correct price and ultimately honest account of the confines of 'naive.

might be able to come back often ...!
