Ibanez Srtn Preamp Problems

Let's face the mirror in Paris and elsewhere


Elmar writes:

When we met last Monday, there were two new people with us which we asked their tastes in reading: Val particularly like the contemporary English literature and not only because he has great admiration for Federigo Garcia Lorca, while outlining the Lj's an unusual and appealing metaphor likening the philosophy to jazz music. Keren listened rapt, as she and LaT this year have a good philosophy professor who knows how to understand and appreciate the discipline to their students, the Kam launched the topic for the next meeting, which will be Monday, October 10: animals. This time I decided to give priority to stories and, by force myself, I set aside the cats, including the obvious Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe (but I'm so sorry!) And inserted dogs, mice and even an elephant, in a range of shades ranging from yellow to almost horror (the story of Patricia Highsmith) humor of Mark Twain and O. Henry, whose stories are truly hilarious, usually through the Hans Christian Andersen, which is produced here in an unusual marine environment. Personally, I finished reading Cui prodest? , Danila Comastri Montanari, one of the novels in the series of Publius Aurelius Statius, set in ancient Rome: I have to see if the library because there are absolutely must read. This especially takes place between the domus of Statius, the photocopying of an avid bibliophile, Marcello Veranius, the slums with its brothels, the sordid termae of Sarpedon and the game of latrunculi, sort of ancestor of chess . What I appreciate most of the books of the mountain folk are, in addition to locations philologically perfect (even here we find the exact description of a dinner of ancient Rome), neat appendices, glossaries and glossary, notes and noterelle upon us nice tribute the author.

'll notice that, since it's been a while, and I could not post the first (but all I can do, the Group!) Do not speak of the discussion the last time because I do not remember more ... . However, Paris certainly reappear next Monday, because interesting things to read there were many: from a little-known classics to get to Balzac and Sue Zola. One caveat: I started a new Yellow Mondadori title cats mystery : refer back to their exclusion, I have made this anthology of three short novels by authors who collects cats as protagonists.

Here instead, other animals, bad, elegiac, impetuous, ill-treated but also winning anyway:
- The stolen white elephant ; A dog says, by Mark Twain; in: Tales of the Mississippi (Mondadori 1992). Location: NA TWA Tues

- Memoirs of a Yellow Dog , O. Henry, in: Memoirs of a Yellow Dog and Other Stories (Adelphi 1993). Location: NA HEN
- The great sea serpent, by Hans Christian Andersen, in: Fairy Tales (Einaudi 1992). Location: ND AND HAN

- The horse murderess, Robert C. Ackworth, in: Miss Paisley's Cat (Sellerio 2001). Location: 808.83872 GAT

- The mouse bravest of Venice, by Patricia Highsmith; in: Crimes bestial (Bompiani 1999). Location: NA HIG PAT

- The canary , Katherine Mansfield, in: Collected Tales, vol.2 (Adelphi 1991). Location: NI MAN KAT
Out of competition, a essay that I found extremely interesting:

- without restraint: the dog and the woman in the imagination of ancient Greece of Christian Franco (Princeton 2003). Location: 305.40938 FRA
I read on the back Cover:
Why the dog and the woman are so often associated with literature, folklore and myth? The book reconstructs the ancient tracks that outlined the complex features of the old dog in the imagination, from Argos, the prototype of canine loyalty, to Cerberus, cruel monster that guarded the entrance to the kingdom of the dead [...] The author also suggests an explanation of the apparent paradox that in Greece, as in other civilizations of the past and present, an animal so close to man active cultural elaborations of the sign is almost always negative. The same fate he touched, and touching in many cases, to other figures, the most different ones and the most similar known to man: women .

's definitely worth taking.
Then on Monday, October 10, at the library, the usual place.
And also expect the Bibe (Thanks for the photo!) And Gi!

HELLO!
