Mi suona Flatlandia di Abbott, ma non sono affatto certo...

No.

 

L'autore dell'opera è famoso per aver scritto un capolavoro della letteratura americana.


The time between the notes relates the colour to scenes,
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems,
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love
As song and chance develop time lost social temperance rules above

Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
He turned around and pointed revealing all the human race,
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Jon Anderson & Steve Howe (Close to the Edge)

 

What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

George R. R. Martin (A Game of Thrones)

 

The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect,

So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time,
A garden to nurture and protect
It's a measure of a life
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
The way you live, the gifts that you give
In the fullness of time,
It's the only return that you expect

Neil Peart (The Garden)

 

Ernest Hemingway once wrote, ‘The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.’ I agree with the second part.

Andrew Kevin Walker (Seven)

 

In this game that we’re playing, we can’t win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that’s all.

George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Mi fai pensare a Tom Wolfe e a Il falò delle vanità...ma non credo

Boh, per quanto riguarda autori di quell’età lì papabili (rispetto agli indizi) mi viene in mente solo Melville.

 

Tuttavia, io di Melville ho letto solo Moby Dick - che sicuramente NON è il libro in questione- quindi non conosco la risposta


La lettura è un rapporto con noi stessi e non solo col libro, col nostro mondo interiore attraverso il mondo che il libro ci apre.

Italo Calvino

 

It’s gonna be legend… wait for it… dary!

Challenge accepted!

Barney Stinson

 

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

Jane Austen

 

Le piccole cose hanno la loro importanza: é sempre per le piccole cose che ci si perde.

Fëdor Michajlovič Dostoevskij

 

Bien sûr je te ferai mal. Bien sûr tu me feras mal. Bien sûr nous aurons mal. Mais ça c’est la condition de l’existence. Se faire printemps, c’est prendre le risque de l’hiver. Se faire présent, c’est prendre le risque de l’absence.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

C’é una vergogna positiva, che prima di aprire bocca ti fa chiedere se hai veramente titolo per dire quello che stai per dire. É la grande assente di questo secolo.

Zerocalcare

 

Ogni persona che passa nella nostra vita è unica. Sempre lascia un po’ di sé e si porta via un po’ di noi. Ci sarà chi si é portato via molto, ma non ci sarà mai chi non avrà lasciato nulla. Questa é la più grande responsabilità della nostra vita e la prova evidente che due anime non si incontrano per caso.

Jorge Luis Borges

Io di Melville non ho letto niente, neanche Moby Dick:unsure:

Però sono ragionevolmente sicuro che tu abbia azzeccato l'autore e che l'opera sia molto nota, almeno di nome :)

Autore azzeccato, ancora un piccolo sforzo... :idea:

Vista la stasi, io penso che si tratti di Bartleby lo scrivano, appunto di Melville.

 

Come detto non l'ho letto, ma appena Daenys ha ipotizzato l'autore ho subito pensato a questo titolo... E Wikipedia me lo ha confermato (credo)
