King Arthur Movie Tristan

Hello blogging friends. I found a few books recently that i've added to my TBR mountain. Both these books deal with matters of the heart.

And in keeping with the romantic theme, I also found this great vintage photo above over at ainoneito's flickr page. I just love these vintage photos. There's something special about them, I can't put my finger on it, but they fascinate me a bit. There's a sweetness to them.





Here's my Friday Finds:






The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover--these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel "the unbearable lightness of being" not only as the consequence of our private actions, but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine.

Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda . I found out about this collection of poetry from Kelly who posted one of the beautiful poems at her blog.

Verse collection by Pablo Neruda, published in 1924 as Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada. The book immediately established the author's reputation and became one of the most widely read collections of poetry written in Spanish. The 20 love poems of the title poignantly describe remembered affairs with two women: a girl from the poet's native town of Temuco and a classmate at the University of Santiago. The collection begins with intensity, describing sensual passion that slackens into melancholy and detachment in the later verses. The closing poem, "A Song of Despair," hopelessly dwells upon bitter emotions.
