What books are my passion, this seems to have already made clear ...:-) And above all that the Italian translation of my favorite books interest me as a reader first, and as "insiders lavoroìi" too!
's so different to read a book in Italian and then its corresponding original ... I think I chose to study English at university, especially one day have the pleasure of reading in their mother tongue, my book Loved always and forever ... I think Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice or in Italian) ...
of this story will know almost everything, and there are tons of essays, and film reviews to prove it ... but the fascinating story of this love story trs Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, never goes out of fashion. Not for me, since I was 14 years, I have read at least thirty times ...:-)
Usually, we always talk about this heroine who manages to overcome his prejudices against This man and gallant little cold in appearance, but I want to dwell on the figure of Mr Darcy for a moment ... Maybe not the best suitor that a woman could want, and perhaps even one of the funniest men that exist, but is capable of great feelings, which, with some veiled sarcasm, I think a man like you do not see more time around ...
In particular, there is a part in the final chapters, which particularly impressed me, especially when I read it in its original language. And that is when Mr. Darcy tries to explain to Elizabeth why her life has made him so proud and so careful to always be vigilant in every sense, and it is amazing how you realize that love, when it comes, will change completely heals you ... ENJOY!
"I Have Been to Being selfish all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I was right What Was Taught, But I Was not Taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased."

Darcy to Elizabeth, Chapter 58.
"I've been selfish all his life, even if I did not want to be. As a child I was taught what was right, but not taught me to change my character and I have been given good principles, but I was allowed to follow them up with pride and conceit. As the only son - only child for many years - I have been spoiled by my parents that, while good parents - especially my father, who has always been the kindness and generosity in person - have allowed, encouraged, almost taught me the ' selfishness and pride: I did not worry that other world of my family, I thought with contempt for everything that was outside of it and I considered my intelligence and my greatest and most noble value of intelligence or value any other person. So I lived eight and twenty-eight, and so I would live again if I had not met you, my dear Elizabeth. How much do I owe you! You taught me a lesson certainly tough, but very useful. I am humbled as you deserve. I came to you secure your approval. I have shown how vain were all my pretensions to win a woman worthy of being conquered. "
