Is a novel by David Herbert Lawrence written in 1928.
This was a very controversial novel and I read "the underground edition" issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929.
I read this book on the sly, and in spite of being an edition as famous as it was Inky Stephensen's had published I had to hide behind a wardrobe ..
A book that at my fourteen years was a revelation for its explicit sex scenes .. This book was incredible for me and it was more enlightened than Pierre Loti's "Aziyadé" well I was only fourteen.

Aziyadé
Aziyadé is a novel by French author Pierre Loti.
Originally published anonymously, it was his first book.
It was also the first serious book I read, I was ten years old.
And as today I remember reading about two people in loved, 27-year old man illicit love affair with a 18 year old harem girl named Aziyadé. And how they think many ways die together.
An eternal kiss while they drown is my most vivid memory of this book.

One Hundred Years of Solitude
Is a novel by winning -Nobel Prize Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez.
A fantastic book, full of fantastic colours and the dramatics of real life.
The writer tells the stories her grandmother told him as a child, stories that filled his head with fear and ghosts.
A book that looses the richness of folk language in the translations.
A difficult but exciting plot and utterly fascinating.
I have read this book many, many times in Spanish, English and Swedish

Alexander Dumas
Alexandre Dumas, was a French writer.
He wrote many books but my favorites are:
- The Count of Monte Cristo
A history of how a man takes relevancy of the people that betrayed him. I read this book the first time when I was 13 years old and a few times more as an adult, I love it.

-The Lady of the Camellias I have read this novel and I also seen the opera. This is very good book and a very cultivating story.
I heartily recommend this author's work to be reading, it's a wonderful experience.

La Divina Commedia
Everybody known him as Dante, He was an Italian poet of the Middle ages.
Dante was writer of "La Divina Commedia" as Boccaccio came to call and we all through time has come to know.
Is been considered the greatest literary work composed in Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
I like this epic poem it's a bit difficult to understand, mostly because of the different translations of the old Italian language, but if you read it slowly and a few times you will come to love it.

"The Odyssey" and "The Iliad"
Homer
"The Odyssey" and "The Iliad"
Homer is a legendary ancient Greek epic poet.
I like this books. Both write in narrative poetry wish is among the oldest form of writing, narrative poetry takes the form of a novel written in verse.
Martin West thinks "Homer" is not the name of a historical poet, but a fictitious or constructed name. You can read this in his "Homeric Hymns. Homeric Apocrypha. Lives of Homer"
I enjoy these stories very much.
You can find them in narrative poetry as well in common language writing but i prefer the narrative poetry.
I recommend them both.
