Reading E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Golden Pot" was one of my great experiences with reading. Almost two decades ago, I was travelling by train and as usual, I brought some books with me to the long ride> Textbooks to study (nerd!) and 2-3 Sci-Fi books, one of them must be an anthology is the plus weight in my bag ever since. (With Kindle, this weight dropped a bit, but I still like grabbing a paper book... feels more natural, so I carry a paper book with me ever since, but I'll Noise this another time, but here, same place .D) It was May, the Sun, as usual, made the first golden, warm lights and the colours were opening up. I was capturing the trees, landscapes, birds to a composition that never become a photo, but I remember clearly, all because of this novel I want to tell you about. This became one of my favourite fantasy novels. Overlapping times, spaces. Fantastic elements merging with realism so much great nuggets to a great book. I know that I'm a hard SciFi fan, but in my opinion, this story touches quite successfully the multidimensional questions... As a coincidence, the plot begins in May, well "Ascension day" which is today this year... so you got the idea when a randomly choose novels story overlaps the real-time. Exciting! I read in one sitting, and although is a 200 years old story, is fresh, full of excitement, and a great plot. Also full of idealistic characters, interesting creatures, drama and sensitivity (E.T.A Hoffmann being one of the most important German Romantic writers). I invite you to read the story. The plot begins at 3 PM (in Dresden) so let's start reading (at least the first vigil, part) together in roughly 5 hours.... 15:00 CET. It's free thanks for the Gutenberg Project> http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0605801h.html If you read already, what do you like about his story? Which character do you like? Did you read in the early summer as well? Throwback to that Thursday, >>> dear reader <<< :) (I like how the writer sometimes narrates the story, commenting as a real conversation to the reader). Have a nice Thursday, Happy Ascension Day, Throwback to That Thursday, Noisers! >D #Books
