sunrises and Byron, just to point out, nickname derived from his adventures among the Albanian mountains (there is also a portrait to testify .. with typical costume of the place) and Mary .. well, is Mary Shelley, the great writer whose reputation has been unjustly usurped by his most famous creation, the Frankenstein .. and you say anything ^ ^
Now, few know that this novel different from the loooong-philosophical horror film versions, all aimed at some of the splatter and disrespectful central role that the scientist had in the original novel (the Frankenstein of the title he was the creature .. mica, but, of course, is better suited to the show ^ ^), well, I said the masterpiece of Mary was conceived in the summer of 1816 on Lake Geneva, a direct result of a series of experiments on the supernatural to put together the intellectual curiosity and boredom Mary-quintet XD damn her future husband, the poet Shelley, Byron with private physician (Polidori) and lover (Claire, sister of Mary) in tow.
Sti Matt holed up in house or in the vaults of the castle of Chillon storiacce to read and compose their own horror wave of the moment.
Sull'assai intriguing topic was written a short novel "Haunted Summer" (Summer haunted) by Anne Edwards, who I was reading.
"A story of evil and sullìimmaginazione" reads the subtitle, it would be better to say about the horrors generated by simple human imagination, to give shape to our inner ghosts.
Ken Russell had been able to express at best, with his visionary sensibility, even if a bit 'over the report, in his film Gothic. Ivan Passer
homonym "Haunted Summer" had instead focused more sentimental and picturesque appearance, with equally interesting results.
"Rowing with the Wind" the third film based on the book I just ordered, so I can not even express: P
There is one aspect of the book that intrigued me a lot, as well as in the film plaice, at the time .. and it is the ambiguous relationship that bound Mary and sunrises, apppunto ..
him, misogynistic and contemptuous, but plagued by frequent bouts of depression, she highly educated, intelligent and totally devoted to her Shelley, but sometimes too cold and lay, a legacy perhaps of his difficult family situation.
Mary was perhaps one of the few women who had reluctantly admired Byron, as she showed herself more than once at his height with his penetrating intuition Mary .. and maybe he felt irresistibly drawn to his character that deminiaco as contrasted with his ideal fictional and menage. He could be born
something .. and instead, nothing happened .. but it's just that NOTHING that hides the charm of the "said and" an intriguing game of looks and mild contacts tinged with a barely suppressed passion.
"Why .. why are you so starved of love even to consider death as a betrayal?" asks Mary out of the blue one night, alone, near Lake Geneva, the moonlight to illuminate their way ..
Byron turns with eyes of flame, furious that someone has been able to penetrate his innermost thoughts, used to tease, not to feel hostage to the other .. He
seize by force, forcing her to kiss him, giving vent to his jealousy of his friend and rival Mary Shelley and can not dismayed ... do absolutely nothing.
"I'm pretty damn exciting," will tell you and then add "We are destined to disagree .. we both know and I will trust you a little secret, you know Shelley as well. But between us, nothing will never happen, ever, until the time of our death. "
Mary will be forced to admit in spite of its great attraction for him while reaffirming its loyalty to Shelly (as opposed to their theories on free love .. for the series, between saying and doing XD) But what I
struck you most is the words spoken casually, almost in a whisper, but tinged with deep melancholy, from Byron in a carriage on the way back ..
he stared at the darkness outside the window and said, "You are a woman ahead of your time .. and I often find myself thinking of being a man late on my"
phrase rich in hidden meanings ...
I would have liked to see a development of this strange relationship .. I think it would be like the two protagonists;)
