“there are two ways of seeing: with the body and with the soul. the body's sight can sometimes forget, but the soul remembers forever.”

edmond dantès my petty icon! so so so worth the effort and the time it took me to get through it.

(Audiobook)
Intimidita dalle dimensioni mastodontiche del libro, ho deciso di approcciarlo in formato di audiolibro, che è disponibile gratuitamente su RaiPlay Sound. La lettura di Andrea Giordana è stata a dir poco splendida e coinvolgente; la storia mi ha intrigato sin dal principio, con un Edmond Dantès per il quale non si può non fare il tifo. Mai avrei pensato di finirlo così in fretta!

One of the greatest books I’ve ever read. It’s so long, but I didn’t want it to end.

This book took me a couple of months to read. Sometimes I liked the idea of this book more than actually reading the book. There were a lot of decisions and plans made off the page. However, there were so many adventurous and exciting stories, scenes, and subplots as well as some amazing characters.
