Playing With My Neck Of Uterus
Piero Marrazzo Rai will return after detox from politics. The governor of Lazio, suffered deep physical and psychological stress for the known events that have recently engaged, will resume next spring to pursue the old job as a journalist that he did with dedication and passion. It is not clear how a professional talent would have fallen into the trap of politics. In fact, the more you delves into this mysterious world, the more you realize how much sadness and grief lurks in the control room. As for stress suffered by our politicians to end the "circle" of drugs and prostitution? Marrazzo's case is just the symbol of an elite that seeks to govern itself by imposing strict rules for the first transgression. There everything is fine, we are a respectable company at all, accustomed to scandal, a company sly and vicious, also well represented, you should say, by a group of people as little inclined to the principles of morality which, alas! waned. Thus, it is not surprising that even a President of the Region, blackmailed for his "vices", unable to find the solidarity of the entire political class, with very few exceptions, that not only forgive certain "weaknesses", but emphatically reaffirms the separation between private and public life. But how can that be? The celebrities and especially politicians can not pretend not to know that their work is likely to appeal. The press in this play its leading role must be able to perform its mission is to inform. Citizens have every right to know what happens in the corridors of power and the inclinations of those who know a candidate to play a public role, to form an opinion as much as possible to be false, to express a vote at election time conscious. For those who can not waive some temptations, please note that there is a private sphere where they can do, within the laws, what most pleases, but only after having abandoned the role of public man.

Strep Throat And Tooth Ache
of a book you should read the inside pages to assess it, but I would start this time talking about the cover Vincent Bosica introducing fine atmosphere of the novel.
Those three characters of the past, photographed along the route of a village, you notice with its towers in the background, the military part of the trio and, higher up, as if to emerge from the heaven , pictures of faces of a police sergeant and a woman dreaming are the best front door that could be done for an event that, at first sight, may seem obvious, but then, evolving from page to page, binds the forcing player, of course, happy to live in a bygone era and in a small world, populated by little big men.
Bernava managed to recreate the atmosphere of a village in Abruzzo in the period from the 30s at the end of World War II, a closed reality only in appearance, because in the restricted flowering characters ideas and perhaps more than in a big city.
got all the solidarity of the poor, the dignity of those who appear to be defeated by life, but instead were able to understand its true meaning, all told with little stories that you chain floor plan , creating a choral fresco of rare and also very effective pleasant.
Yes, the main character is Sergeant Modiano, the local station of the Royal Carabinieri, but around the figures come to life only seems minor, each with a clearly defined role that provides you the best.
early novel that may appear unassuming, The color of the coffee ends up being one of those little gems of literature that are true icons not only for the message content, but also for the style, not usual, agile, never redundant, and that also allows the author of the vagaries of poetic prose without the same to be inappropriate and however tedious. In fact, these few parentheses are the reflections of the narrator, providing explanations, summaries of the facts that follow, often subject with a mildly ironic tone that softens certain melancholy that take the blind to read Alfred, the foundling Nenni and Jerome, who was imprisoned long in a mental hospital because they did not speak.
In this novel, then, is the great strength of the book, its ability to reach the heart, to think, to excite, and in this sense is a tribute to the writing, which allows you to print make it known to many, his unique scent, like that of coffee, much like Marshal that Modiano.
pages already there who has made choices, and eventually there will be those who knowingly and will finally make her choice, finding the true meaning of life.
The color of coffee is a novel, yet it seems written by an author already expert, who shuns the easy rhetoric and easy emotion to give us a work of genuine excellence.
The reading is highly recommended.
