Sophie meets the BFG

As the book starts, a young girl named Sophie lies in bed in an orphanage. She can't sleep, and sees a strange sight in the street. A giant man is walking in the street, carrying a suitcase and what looks like a trumpet. He sees Sophie, who runs to her bed and tries to hide. This doesn't work, and the giant picks her up through the window. Then, he starts to run incredibly fast, until he reaches a large cave, which he enters.

When he sets Sophie down, she begins to plead for her life, believing that the giant will eat her. The giant laughs, and explains that most giants do eat human beings, and that the people's origins affect their taste. For example, people from Greece taste greasy. The giant then says that he will not eat her, as he is the BFG, or the Big Friendly Giant.

In the cave

The BFG then explains that he must stay with her forever, as no one can know of his existence. He warns her of the dangers of leaving his cave, as his neighbors are sure to eat her if they catch her. The BFG then explains what he was doing with the trumpet and suitcase. He catches dreams, stores them in the cave, and then gives the good ones to children all around the world. He destroys the bad ones. The BFG then explains that he only eats snozzcumbers, which are disgusting vegetables that taste of frogskins. Another giant, the Bloodbottler, then storms in. Sophie hides in a snozzcumber and is nearly eaten by the Bloodbottler.

The fight with the evil giants

After this, Sophie and the BFG vow to make the other giants disappear. The BFG and Sophie then partake in some frobscottle, which is a carbonated liquid that causes extreme flatulence. After this, the two go to Dream Country to catch some dreams and the BFG shows Sophie his collection of dreams. Later, Sophie has an idea on how to beat the other giants. She has the BFG give the Queen of England a dream that shows the malevolent giants. This frightens the Queen and wakes her up, at which point Sophie explains that her dream was real. The Queen then vows to help the two.

With other countries' assistance, they construct a giant pit. With the BFG's help, they lure the other giants into the trap, where they can't eat anyone else. Instead, they must eat snozzcumbers. At the end, it is revealed that the BFG and Sophie live in a mansion, where Sophie is teaching the BFG how to read and write, and the BFG is actually writing the book.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a mystery novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886 and it takes place down the streets of London. At the book's opening, two men, Mr. Utterson and his cousin Mr. Richard Enfield, are leisurely walking through London. Initially silent, the men pass a mysterious basement cellar door, and Mr. Enfield launches into a story about a strange occurrence related to the door. Late one night, while on his way home, Enfield chanced upon a deformed, short man who trampled a girl in the street on her way to fetch a doctor. The girl's family and Mr. Enfield catch the mysterious man and instead of getting the police, decide to force him to give the girl's family money. Agreeable to this compromise, the mysterious man disappears into the cellar door and returns with a check bearing not his own name, but that of the respectable Dr. Jekyll. Although Enfield assumed the check would be a forgery, it proves to be legitimate. After hearing the story, Utterson returns to his home where he removes his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll's mysterious will, which Jekyll recently filed. The will states that in case of Dr. Jekyll's death, his substantial estate will pass to Mr. Edward Hyde, whom Utterson has never met and whom he assumes is the mysterious man in Enfield's story. Even stranger, the will states that in case of Jekyll's disappearance for more than three months, Hyde will assume Jekyll's estate without delay. Utterson also realizes that the mysterious door is connected, in an L shaped way, to Jekyll's home. Utterson concludes that Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll and resolves to seek the man out to understand why. After tracking the man down, Hyde is initially civil but turns angry when Utterson extends the conversation, probing into his relationship with Dr. Jekyll. One year later, Edward Hyde brutally murders Sir Danvers Carew by beating him to death with a cane. With help from Utterson, the police find Hyde's apartment ransacked and all papers burned. After leaving, Utterson proceeds to Jekyll's and confronts him for harboring a murder. Jekyll claims that he is done with Hyde forever and that their relationship is terminated. Jekyll does, however, have a farewell note from Hyde. Utterson examines the note and his clerk, Mr. Guest, later discovers that the handwriting, although slightly altered, matches a dinner invitation written by Dr. Jekyll. Angrily, Utterson assumes that Jekyll has forged a letter for a murderer. More time passes, and we learn that although Hyde has not been located, Dr. Jekyll has become increasingly social, returning to his pre-Hyde days of friendly meetings and intellectual gatherings. One day, Utterson attends a dinner party at Jekyll's home and sees Dr. Lanyon there. Shortly thereafter, Jekyll secludes himself and Dr. Lanyon falls severely ill due to "shock" and dies. After his death, Dr. Lanyon leaves Utterson a letter instructing him only to read it after Dr. Jekyll's death or disappearance. Some time after these mysterious events, Enfield and Utterson again walk by the mysterious door and get a rare glimpse at Dr. Jekyll, who is sitting by a window in the apartment. The men have a brief conversation, but Jekyll abruptly shuts the window as he begins to suffer what appears to be a seizure. Enfield and Utterson are struck by the disturbing appearance of Jekyll's face as he withdraws from view. About a week later, Richard Poole, Jekyll's faithful butler, approaches Utterson. Poole reports that Jekyll has locked himself in his cabinet and strange sounds, including crying and pacing are all that have been emanating from the room. The only communication that Poole has received from Jekyll consists of letters desperately asking for a specific type of medicine. Utterson agrees to assist and follows Poole to Jekyll's house. The two men break down the door to the room where Jekyll has hidden himself. They find Hyde's dead body and assume he committed suicide immediately before they entered the room. They ransack the area looking for Jekyll's body or evidence of his death, but are unsuccessful. In the laboratory, the men discover a large envelope addressed to Mr. Utterson. Inside, Jekyll urges Utterson to read the package from Lanyon and if he wishes to know more, read the further description Jekyll provides within the envelope. Utterson reads Lanyon's narrative. The letter begins with a description of a strange letter Lanyon received from Henry Jekyll, the night after a dinner party at Jekyll's residence. The letter urges Lanyon to go to Jekyll's house and fetch a certain drawer with specific contents from the laboratory. Afterwards, a messenger will come to Lanyon's house in Jekyll's stead to recover these items, which include powder, a phial, and a paper book. Lanyon follows the instructions thinking that Jekyll has lost his mind. Mr. Hyde appears at the specified time, looking particularly strange, dressed in clothes far too large for him. Lanyon gives Hyde the ingredients. Hyde then asks Lanyon whether or not he would like to see the end result of his errand. Lanyon is curious and agrees. Hyde mixes the ingredients into a potion, drinks it, and transforms into Dr. Jekyll as an astounded Lanyon observes. Lanyon is deeply affected by this shock and the pure evilness of Jekyll, brings on his subsequent illness and death. After reading Dr. Lanyon's account, Utterson reads Jekyll's own description of his failed experiment. Jekyll believed that the soul is made up of two separate distinctions: good and evil. These two separate beings live in continuous and inherent conflict with each other. Slowly, Jekyll begins an experiment where he attempts to completely differentiate these two aspects of human nature. Jekyll experiments extensively and then makes two potions. One transforms him into Edward Hyde, and the second transforms him back into Henry Jekyll. This amazingly successful experiment begins Jekyll's extensive exploration of his other self, a man entirely comfortably in morally corrupt behavior, whom he eventually names Edward Hyde. For some months, this behavior continues until Jekyll, "had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, had awakened Edward Hyde." Jekyll was alarmed that he transformed into Edward Hyde without the assistance of the potion, and became concerned that the character of Hyde might irrevocably take over. Concerned that he had overstepped his bounds, Jekyll chose to give up the freedom of Hyde and for two months maintained the identity of Dr. Jekyll. Unfortunately, he was tortured with Hyde's longing to freely take part in evil doings, and he once again took the potion. During this transformation, Hyde brutally murdered Carew. Because of the manhunt for Hyde, Jekyll swore off ever again making the transformation and set out to try to remedy the evil inside of him. Unfortunately, at this point Jekyll had given too much power to his evil side. Hyde was an irrevocable part of Jekyll's character, and the many transformations and evil behaviors only strengthened Hyde's power. One night, while contemplating Hyde's deeds, Jekyll spontaneously transformed into Edward Hyde. Because his dual identity was a secret to all members in his house, he realized he could not walk through his house to the laboratory to retrieve the potion's ingredients. Therefore, he sent the urgent letter to Dr. Lanyon. After successfully turning back into Dr. Jekyll, he went home once again but every time he fell asleep, he reverted to Mr. Hyde. Soon, his potions failed to work, even at double strength, and he ran out of the specific medicine needed. While living in the cabinet apartment and not allowing any of his servants to see him, Hyde launches a desperate but unsuccessful search across London for the potion ingredients. When Poole and Utterson finally break into the room, Hyde kills himself, thus finally releasing both Jekyll and Hyde.

I absolutely loved this book, at a tipping point between mystery and immagination, it was a fascinating story about Utterson's curiosity and Jeckyll secrets. All of us have two completely different personality, ego and alter ego, the good one and the bad, the one we can control and the one we don't.

One of the books that I've read during these Christmas holydays was Wuthering Heights, the only novel written by Emily Bronte. The story takes place in Yorkshire, after the half of 1700 and the beginning of 1800.

"The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors, there are a few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind, the house is called Wuthering Heights." Heathcliff, the owner of this house and his servants live here, and they're not ordinary people. When Mr Lockwood, a rich city squire came to visit Thrushcross Grange, an other property of Heathcliff to rent it, he didn't receive a warm reception and when he was leaving, a storm began, so he had to spend the night at Wuthering, during which strange ghosts' appearances disturbed Lockwood's sleep. The days after he fell sick, and during this time the Thrushcross' housekeeper, Ellen Dean, told him the troubled story of the Earnshaws and Lintons. All the troubles began when Mr Earnshaws, Catherine and Hindley's father, took home the orphan Heathcliff, which was loved by Catherine and hated by Hindley. After the birth of Hareton, the son of Hindley and his wife Frances, Heathcliff and Catherine were not allowed to see each other again, so Catherine married Edgar Linton, despite of her love for Heathcliff. This last decided to leave and after a while he returned from London with a lot of money, and he married Isabel, Edgar's sister, and abused her to get his revenge on him. Catherine died after she had given birth to Cathy and confessed her love to Heathcliff. Soon also Isabel had her baby, Linton. Hindley was forced to give his residence to settle his debt, because he spent all his money gambling, so now Heathcliff owned Wuthering, and after Edgar's death, also Thrushcross Grange. He died after a while, buried next to Catherine, the only person he loved in his life.

I liked the plot, Wuthering Heights it's a story full of secrets hidden and deep lovers, revenge and jealousy, it's intriguing but at the same time melancholy.

This book is a thriller written by the English Tim Vicary. It talks about John Duncan, he's a biologist, at the beginning of the story he gets a job with a paint company. His job is to ensure that the chemicals used in the company are safe. John is a widower, and he lives with his two children, thirteen-years-old Andrew and sixteen-years-old Christine. For two years he has been unemployed, and getting this job makes a big difference to both him and his children. The family move into an house by the river, near the factory, they buy a boat whit which they can go out and look at the seals on the sandbank near the mouth of the river. But John discovers that some of the chemicals from the factory are polluting the water, they also can cause deformities in baby rats and perhaps in people, in fact when a product falls on his leg, he has to go to the doctor. He points this out to the company, but it would be too expensive to stop the pollution. John has a choice: either he tells the newspapers about his discovery and loses his jo, or he keeps quiet and keeps his job. He chooses the second possibility. After some years the pollution starts to cause problems, and these problems are published in articles in the local newspaper, written by Simon, a journalist engaged to John's daughter, Christine. It is not enough for John to keep quiet, now he has to start telling lies, to say that there is no pollution problems. Christine and Simon become involved in a campaign against the factory, and one day, demonstrating from a small boat in the river, Christine, who is pregnant, falls in the water, and is nearly drowned. At a public inquiry into the pollution, John is forced to admit that there is a serious problem, and the paint factory is the responsible. Now the baby is at risk.

With this book, Tim Vicary want to speak about the pollution and the problems that it can cause. Secondly, when he says that John has been unemployed for a long time and he was "forced" to get this job to help his children, means that sometimes we had to to things we would not like to do. A mysterious story full of twists and turns.
