a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

 Hello! In this post, I will review Suddenly in the Depths of a Forest , a fairy-tale fable by Amos Oz.  Intended for children, this lovely book can be enjoyed by adults as well. I reviewed this book on my goodreads profile back in 2016. I'm assuming that's the year I read it as well. Despite the fact that it's been years since I read this book, I still remember it fondly. So fondly that I simply must recommend it to my blog reads. In my last post, I recommended  and reviewed A Tale of Love and Darkness , my favourite novel by Amos Oz. Well, this little fable is my second favourite! When we visited Goranci village a few days ago, we enjoyed a short walk there. We strolled the park and took some photographs. I realized how these photos would be a nice follow up to his book review. In case you would like to know more about the location, you can visit my old blog posts. As for my outfit, I shopped my closet again. I wore a vintage pink floral dress , an old pair of sneakers ...

 Hi there! Today I'll share a review for a book I'm quite emotionally attached to. A Tale of Love and Darkness is a wonderful memoir ( I would call it an autobiographical novel) by Israeli writer Amos Oz. Published in 2002, this memoir has been translated in about 30 languages. Moreover, it has sold million of copies.    A Tale of Love and Darkness  chronicles much of Oz's childhood in the early days of state of Israel but it also explores the history of his family. Oz writes a lot about his relationship with his parents, especially with his mother.  There's also a movie adaptation (worth noting for those who are not inclined to love reading).   Now, I've read many books by Amos Oz (review for his novel  Fima  here), but among all of his books, this one seems the most significant to me. Moreover,   A Tale of Love and Darkness  remains my favourite one. What I particularly remember is the complexity of it. Plus, it's simply a perfect book...

 Hi there! Today I'll review The Interpreter , a novel by Brian Aldiss . Published in 1960, this science fiction novel examines a future that's not too optimistic. While some authors believed that a contact with aliens will save us, others like Stanislaw Lem and brothers Strugatsky were not so optimistic. This novel was one of my summer readers. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I expected. I would recommend it, but mostly to fans of this writer. Scroll down to read my full review.  THE INTERPRETER , A NOVEL BY BRIAN ALDISS 3/5 The human kind has been colonized and exploited by an alien race. This alien race goes under the name of Nul.  In fact an alternative title for this novel is Bow Down to Nul.   Nuls are efficient and cold, not cruel by temperament but prone to looking down on everyone. They believe in their own superiority and back by a long rule, there's little to oppose their beliefs. Colonization is one of the major topics in this novel. The Interpreter is...
