12 gennaio 2008. Angela; mentre egrave; al lavoro; resta vittima di un aneurisma cerebrale. Viene operata drsquo;urgenza ed entra in coma. Il marito Luca non perde perograve; la speranza e Angela si risveglia quasi per miracolo dopo un mese. Da questo momento inizia un lunghissimo e difficile percorso di riabilitazione; fatto di fisioterapia; logopedia e sedute dallo psicologo. Ora Angela ha bisogno di aiuto anche per compiere le piugrave; piccole e banali azioni quotidiane. Per Luca egrave; davvero dura: deve badare al piccolo Tommaso; lavorare e sostenere in tutti i modi possibili la moglie. Trascorrono i mesi tra le visite negli ospedali e allrsquo;INPS e le sedute di riabilitazione; ma non mancano le vacanze al mare; le gite alla domenica e il trasloco in una nuova casa. Non egrave; stato facile per Luca e non lo egrave; tuttora; anche se sono passati quattro anni da quel terribile incidente; ma ha trovato la forza per andare avanti nellrsquo;amore per il figlio Tommaso e nella fede in Dio.

New Illustrations Give Mary Shelleys Frankenstein "new life"By CSI had seen the movie multiple times; as a child; typically with my older brother and his best friend sitting in a fort made of sofa cushions. I have heard; a few times; that the movie bears little resemblance to the book; and so when I saw this newly illustrated version; I decided to move Frankenstein from my ldquo;to-readrdquo; shelf to at least ldquo;currently reading.rdquo; After closing this book; I can say that Irsquo;m not exactly sure what Hollywood got out of this book; since it bears little resemblance to this novel.First published in 1818; Mary Shelleyrsquo;s first novel is a classic gothic horror / science-fiction novel. This newly illustrated version; published 20 April 2016; contains the text and illustrations from the original publication in 1932; the Illustrated Library Edition. Included in this are five color illustrations by Nino Carbeacute; have been added to this edition. Nino Carbeacute; was an artist prior to being hired by Walt Disney. He was moved up to the storyboard and layout department for the movie Fantasia; when Walt saw a drawing of Ninorsquo;s ndash; a sketch of a fairy coming out of a dandelion. That little sketch became the ldquo;Sugar Plum Fairyrdquo; sequence in Fantasia. But that was just the beginning ndash; his list of project hersquo;s associated with is long; including Jungle Book; Woody Woodpecker; Spiderman; The Pink Panther; and the first animated feature of The Lord of the Rings.The prose is lovely; the story is less than believable; which no one should find shocking ndash; the creature of Dr. Frankensteinrsquo;s creation also bears little resemblance; physically or verbally; to the idea Irsquo;d grown up with. His vision is idealistic and childlike; with no thought to any repercussions that might follow his potential success.ldquo;The world was to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curiosity; earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature; gladness akin to rapture; as they were unfolded to me; are among the earliest sensations I can remember.rdquo;After his creation is walking about; Dr. Frankenstein has an awakening; and a change of heart toward his creation. He spends a lot of his time internally conflicted; hating himself for his creation; and the havoc it has created.Frankensteinrsquo;s creation wants only to find a haven where he can be accepted; where he can find comfort with at least one other being. As time has passed; he has listened; become somewhat educated; and hopes for the companionship of one person who is like him. In many ways; though; he is an 8 ft. tall; extremely strong toddler; no is not an acceptable answer. He wants what Dr. Frankenstein has; a family; love.Many thanks to Dover Publications ndash; Calla Editions; and NetGalley; for providing me with an advance copy to read.
