I wouldn’t have started this book on my own, and for many reasons. One of them is that in Italy it’s marketed as Young Adult Fiction, and I hate most of that stuff, and the other is its imposing length: 600 pages. I was distracted,

Posted at 09:41h, 10 JuneSono felice che Waterhouse riscuota sempre i vostri consensi: ho postato l’immagine più che altro per celebrare un momento di vita quotidiana (vedi categoria del post), ma adoro il modo in cui Waterhouse ha reso i capelli della driade, che si staccano dall’albero, il suo passo mentre esce dal cavo del tronco, il suo sguardo verso il basso sul satiro che sta suonando, uno sguardo a metà tra il sorpreso e il compiaciuto, ma sempre con una delicata noncuranza di fondo. Meraviglioso.
