Здания на главной площади Саламанки украшены медальонами с изображениями испанских королей, а также тех, кто сыграл важную роль в истории Испании. На этом медальоне изображен король Испании Филипп Второй, которого мы знаем по драме Шиллера и опере Верди «Дон Карлос». У Шиллера и Верди Филипп Второй - деспотичный и жестокий монарх, который приносит собственного сына в жертву государственной машине и инквизиции. В действительности же Филипп Второй был, как сейчас принято говорить, «крепким государственником», ревностным католиком, абсолютистом. Отличался большим трудолюбием, лично прочитывал тысячи документов. Во время правления Филиппа Второго был построен дворец в Эскориале. Никакой любовной драмы между сыном Филиппа Второго инфантом Карлосом и королевой Елизаветой не было. Елизавета изначально действительно предназначалась в жены Карлосу, но политическим соображениям девушку выдали замуж за короля Филиппа. На момент свадьбы Елизавете и Карлосу было 14 лет. Что же касается Дона Карлоса, то он в принципе вряд ли мог быть привлекательным юношей. Карлос страдал серьезными психическими и физическими расстройствами вследствие близкородственных браков Габсбургов

Let’s Explore my TBR shelves as I continue to I’m highlight some of my unread books in a series of #tenonmytbr posts, alphabetically by author. ✨ Join me!

Here are ten books written by authors with I names. Plus a jug that decorates my bookshelves. 📸 They are my usual mishmash of backlist titles. Have you read any of these?

📖 The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe, a 1958 novel about young women in the publishing industry.

🚂 Kaleidoscope by J. Robert Janes, a WWII mystery set on a train in German occupied France.

👵🏻 The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson in a cool NYRB Classics edition.

🌲 The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories by Sarah Orne Jewett is an 1896 classic of American literature set in Maine.

🪖 War Trash by Ha Jin about a Chinese soldier sent to fight on the communist side in the Korean War.

🍵 Lulu in Marrakech by Diane Johnson, a humorous spy adventure.

👨🏻‍⚕️ An Error of Judgement by Pamela Hansford Johnson. Anthony Burgess included this on his list of 99 best novels written in English.

❄️ White Sky, Black Ice by Stan Jones, the first in a mystery series set in Alaska.

👩🏻 Inventing Memory by Erica Jong follows four generations of women in a Jewish-American family.

🎭 Three Comedies (Volpone, The Alchemist, Bartholomew Fair) by Ben Jonson. I’m trying to read more plays, particularly classics.

I tagged a few to play along. ✨ If you see this and it looks like fun, please share your TBR stacks. Get creative if you don’t have 10 of any letter. Fewer books, combine letters, use letters of the titles instead, whatever. It’s supposed to be fun!

“I am no novel-reader—I seldom look into novels—Do not imagine that I often read novels—It is really very well for a novel.” Such is the common cant. “And what are you reading, Miss—?” “Oh! It is only a novel!” replies the young lady, while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. “It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda”; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language. - from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

—One of my favorite rants in all of classic literature. 👏

Someone told me it was the last day of July & what? Jane Austen July got away from me like Mr. Elliot ran from Elizabeth—or maybe it was more like Willoughby ghosting Marianne. I've been experiencing BIG Marianne energy this month & I'm just hoping that August will bring a bit more calm to balance out the drama. In keeping with this theme, here's a look at the biggest book in my collection: the Midpoint Press special limited-edition Jane Austen: The Illustrated Library, 2006. This gorgeous chonker contains all six novels, including 60+ color plates & 100 b&w illustrations by Hugh Thompson & CE Brock. It weighs 9+ lbs. What's the biggest book you own? ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖

It’s Obon season & our Japanese summer festivals are in full swing here, so I thought I’d share some happy memories from all the fests we've had so far. The reading has been a bit of a slump. How is everyone? ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖

🍜 This was a fun Ghibli adventure, but it felt like the story was always trying to run away from the author, trying to become something else.

🏛Már nem emlékszem hogyan jutott el hozzám a könyv, talán a könyvtáram szelektálta ki. Egyszer neki kezdtem, de két évvel ezelőtt még jogosan éreztem, hogy nem vagyok ezen az angol szinten. Úgy hiszem, még most sem egészen nőttem fel hozzá, de ha Jane Austenről van szó, akkor merek kockáztatni.

🕯Mindig szerettem, ahogy Austen elekezdi a regényeit. A szereplők bemutatása, az általános ismertetők, amiket hol pletykákból, hol pedig hivatalos dokumentumokból tudunk meg. Az eleje tetszett, viszont talán a nyelvezet miatt többször elkalandoztam.

Nehezen küzdöttem át magam a közepén, kevés momentum maradt meg nekem, és őszintén nehezen fogtam fel, hogy ténylegesen mi történik. Emiatt nálam kevés csillagozást ért el🧸

🌬Viszont amikor Catherine megérkezik Northanger Abbey-be, annak a tipikus viharos estének a leírása a kedvencemmé vált. Igazi bekuckózós rész volt. Továbbra is imádom, mennyire magabiztos és igaz véleménye van Austennak. Úgy rejti véleményét bele a lapokba, hogy abba senki nem tud beleszólni. Mesterelme.

🪽Összességében engem nem fogott meg annyira, mint a többi regénye. Viszont szeretnék adni neki még egy esélyt majd magyarul, hátha mégiscsak elnyeri a tetszésem. Angolul nehéz olvasmány, de vannak fejezetek, amik szórakoztatóak.

“She knew what she liked; she knew what she loved. And isn’t that the main thing?” (GIRL WITH DOVE by Sally Bayley) As I remind myself I know how to love although you may at some point in your life have turned fairy in order to survive the world — Jane Eyre @je_library Still, you can love and care as you remember Trace… the girl in care @careexperiencedmovement

My life changed the day I discovered bookstagram. That’s not an exaggeration, right? My walls covered in sagging bookshelves & the maze of book stacks that leads from my bedroom to the kitchen can attest to it—I don’t have enough wall space for all these book recs, but please keep them coming my tbr can handle it I promise—! So, my current living situation is “because of bookstagram.”

But the greatest change that I’m currently reflecting on, the one thing that I will never take for granted happened about a month into my first account, when I finally felt safe enough to just talk about books, as an unprompted main topic of conversation, to share that joy freely with others who wouldn’t scoff & roll their eyes at me for this passion—because I finally found people who know what magic exists in books. Kind, intelligent bookworms who are constantly inspiring me to read, to write, to create bookish content—& more: to go out & do bookish things, travel to bookish places, imbue my every waking minute with excessive bookishness if I so desire—okay, you get it.

I never really knew this freedom before I stumbled upon that hashtag. Before bookstagram, I loved books alone. So, thank you so much, book friends, those who have been with me from the early days—those who 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑑 ily—& those whom I’m just starting to know & cherish. Thank you for your book recs, your inspiring posts & conversation. Thank you for making me feel safe. ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖
