Calipso

"Fear no more the heat of the sun..."

Virginia Woolf-  Mrs. Dalloway

 

No pude dejar de leerlo. Publicado en 1925, lleva ese tono de postguerra, pero los diferentes temas (feminismo, homosexualidad, depresión, ...) y los personajes se entrelazan. Recordar el pasado y citar a Shakespeare.

Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History Without the Fairy-Tale Endings - Linda Rodriguez McRobbie

"Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History Without the Fairy-Tale Endings" by L. Rodriguez McRobbie.

 

The book itself has some chapters and characters worth reading, but at the same time it adds details and stories that maybe one can take as "they do not belong in this book", or at least with a tone that differs from the first stories.

 

Still, it is worth reading if one fancy history and its princesses and the desire to learn (as well as the empowering scandals around them or the sad ending stories)

 

pd: At the end of the book we can find some more books (made by historians or magazines, etc) and acquire more knowledge, que nunca está de más.
