Men Mono Strap Backpack

Readings from holiday

More about Il libro dell'estate I spent a bit 'of days in the mountains and were filled and beautiful days, spent with friends and long cross-country skiing on the Cogne. Chatter, laughter, dinner, knitting intensive (soon I'll show you how Dominika went on!), But also a lot of time to read and then here's a few words on the first of the books read, "The Summer Book" by Tore Jansson. It 's beautiful, delicate and deep, focused on the relationship between a girl and her grandmother who spend their summers on an island in Finnish wild and lonely. The grandmother is wise, the curious little girl, but the relationship between them is equal and constructive. Time is running slow, small events follow each other closely related with the nature that surrounds the houses, boats and people. And ideas are simple and elementary to talk about important things, friendship, death, love.
I loved it, brought me back to childhood, to my long summer afternoons and suspended in a warm and timeless.
