Hi everybody!
And welcome back to our youtube channel
Today we have another episode of our series
''Just another page'' , very philosophical
in which, as you know or maybe don't know if you're new
we talk about book that
we read in this month or recently
that we particularly liked
-Exacly
-And, can I say that we took two very feminist choices?
-Yes
-Ok, so
we can say that this is the keyword for today
-Yes
-So we talk about womans
Who start?
-I start?
-Yes, you start
-So the book that I took
is this one, called ''The story'' by Elsa Morante
And this was given to me last year
so a little time ago
I had started reading it but
for time and study problem I had to stop it
and a short time ago I started it again
is a book written by Elsa Morante
and set in Italy from 1941 to 1947
so in and post the frist world war
and tell the story of a woman
of Jewish origin
that after the death of her husband
decided to change the accent in her surname
for hide her origins
because we all know what happened to Jewish
she just want avoid this for her
and for her sons
a legitimate one, and one born
from a violence from a German officer
it's a very interesting story
and I think that the theme is important for everyone
particulary in this moment
even in honor of the day of memory that was last day
this book talk about
the condition of this woman
the condition of Italian people and how they use to live it
offers some very interesting and suggestive views
of the Jewish condition
So...There is a moment
that I like the most
Is the description...
- Do I have to cry?
of, if I can tell the truth,
this book is really heavy
-Well, just from the theme...
-Heavy because, and don't take it wrong,
is really thick
it's 600 pages
and I think that for understand it completely
need a lot of time
and it's heavy even because the theme
it's not rosy or light
-Probably this is better
-This is better, so take your time for read it
two parts that I really enjoy are
the frist one is in the back of the book
and is a phrase written by survived by Hiroshima
and tell: ''There is no word
in any human language, capable of comforting the guinea pigs
who do not know the reason for their death''.
''the reason of their death'' because
the real reason of this
was know only later
the people who lived in that situation
and who lived this moments
doesn't know the reason
for all of this brutality
another part that I really like
talk about
the moment of the end of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
so is the part that talk about Japan
I don't know, I just read it
and everyone will have different emotions
''Meanwhile, in August
after the launch of the atomic bomb in the cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
even the Japan had found total surrender.
The news about the atomic blast were such
that talk about what happened was reluctantly
like of repulsive abstractions
you can't even talk about time
because the duration, if so we can say, of the phenomenon
it was of a minimal size
to the point of being incalculable
it was tried to compute it at twenty thousandths of a second.
Within this time, the two cities
and and their inhabitants
had ceased to exist,up to the molecules of their matter
they can't call it ''destruction'' or ''death''
they talk about a ''light mushroom''
so great that blind born at a distance
had perceived the royal glow of it
They continued to work on survivors
through the years and the generations
the disruptive and incendiary bombs
and their crashes, fires and dust,
still seemed terrestrial phenomena
while Hiroshima and Nagasaki
no longer seemed to be places in this world
one could not even feel sorry for the Japanese''.
It certainly does its effect
so it talk about
the atomic bomb that was launched on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
like at the end of a flash of light
there was not even time
to understand what was happening
-To say goodbye to someone
-Nothing...
I advise you to read it, besides the fact that
knowing our past is fundamental, in my opinion
for understand who we are
who we were, who we can be.. It's fundamental
-The mistakes we must not do
-There are so much things that we have to do
and I think that one of that is knowing our past.
This book is interesting even for
the structure of the book
Now, you probably see this huge book
and you think that this is heavy and thick
-Better not
-But inside is really intriguing
for how it is divided
It's divided into seven parts
from 1941 to 1947
so the frist page shows you the year
and immediately there are pages
that historically explain what happened in that years
after this a sentence is given
chosen by the author
and the true narration begins
-It's very well structured
-It's very well structured
in fact I would never have expected it
-Well... We all know that Elsa Morante is an author
of importance among Italian authors
and we are lucky to have her
womans and authors like her
-it's important that the book talk about a woman
that remains with our theme
-Exacly
-You're turn
-I talk about another woman
more contemporary
but I think that, despite the history and the time,
the issues we deal with are always the same, unfortunately
and the book is ''Milk and honey''
by Rupi Kaur, I hope I have pronounced her name right
and she is Canadian naturalized
but has Indian origins
infact she have a particular beauty
but I think that she's really pretty
And I don't know that you ever see her before
because she stat with an Instagram profile
in fact they are called ''social poets''
because they start from the Social
writing their thoughts
and she was very provoked in the beginning
in fact she post, time ago, a picture
of her, completely dressed, so nothing provocative
or particularly erotic, in which
there was only a stain of menstruation on her clothes
that photo was banned by Instagram
because it violated the Instagram rules
and about it she say that everything it's ok on Instagram
even half-naked girls, nude
or erotized without a reason
but her period make scandal
We are in 2018
we are not anymore in 1950 or in 1940
but unfortunately we are coming back slowly
and so...
The book is divided into several chapters
with different themes
in fact it begins to explain a healing process
so talk about a girl like her, or like anyone
in fact I don't like when
someone say that this is a ''Feminist book''
now, independently from the person
that watch this video, boy or girl, is or not feminist
I still recommend reading it
to anyone who lives such situations
-I don't think that there are categories of books
I think that everyone can read any book
without problems
-Exacly, but since be ''feminist'' for someone
is an insult
because they can't understand completly
the word
that is just
''gender equality'' but I don't call it like that
because it was too abused as a term
so I prefer to use the name ''Feminism''
So, the book is divided in chapters
that are: love, loss, trauma
violence, healing and femininity
in fact talk about issues like
violence against women
in a candid manner
in first person
in fact everything that is written
is written by impulse
sometime punctuation is used
sometime not
because the tought
is flowing
and in it's written in this way
and the best part, for me
even because I have an artistic soul
it's the fact that there are illustrations
that accompany each poem
and...
I don't know how to say it
I think that my favorite
are those that speak of violence
that for someone can be to heavy
because they aren't to much explicit
but explain exacly the feelings that someone can feel
in a situation like this one
a ''catastrophic event'' in his life
from which you survive
if you are not alone
and..... I don't know...
I can read one of these
that I really enjoy
In which she say:
...look at the montain...
''I want to apologize to all the women I have called beautiful
before I've called them intelligent or brave
I am sorry i made it sound as though something as simple as what you're born with
is all you have to be proud of when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on I will say things like you are resilient,
or you are extraordinary not because I don't think you're beautiful
but because I need you to know you are more than that"
I'm shivering
-It's really beautiful
-Yes, often the first compliment someone make you
is ''you're so pretty''
''you're so cute'' or ''nice hair''
because sometimes
we don't stop and talk with them
-And we already stat with judgments
-Exacly, not because be ''pretty'' is bad
or..
a weakness
but there is more behind anyone
which can be a baby, a woman, a man
-I think that eveyone want to be
more than just pretty
maybe beautiful inwardly but more than just pretty
I have to say that this book was recommended to me
-So you must read it
has just come out her new book
that it's similar to this one
from the cover
the only one difference is that the other one
is completly white and have this sunflower on it
and the name is ''The sun and her flowers''
so the Sun with her flowers
and....
it inspires so much
and another good quality is that
don't talk just about the womans minority
because this is minority
but talk about minority in general
in fact in one page she say that:
''our shoulders'' of black womans
endured so much
that is really difficult think about it
but I think that the shoulders say anything
about ethnic minority
underestimated
of underestimated woman
of an humiliated man
bulled
There are so much to talk about
and so little time for do it
-But there will be time
with all of the book we will read
we will deal with a bit of everything
-Why not
-So this was our books for today
We hope that to have inspired to buy these books
if you like them, or maybe just the authors
maybe you don't like this book but
you can like another one
