“Downton Abbey: A New Era”

Who’s excited to watch “Downton Abbey: A New Era” in the movies? I totally am! I pretend to read “The World of Downton Abbey” this month before the premiere.

Since I started reading “Written in my own heart’s bood”, I felt compelled to re-read all the previous books just to underline all my favourite quotes. But I know it will take a very, very long time to finish.

The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring

Yesterday I watched the extended version of “The Fellowship of The Ring” in the movies! Too bad I never had the oportunity to watch this extended version ... it is so poetic! It enrichs and adds so much context to the plot! I was almost sobbing in every scene.

Iniciei a leitura de a “Sociedade do Anel” de J. R. R. Tolkien uns dias atrás. Comparativamente ao livro do “Hobbit” que já havia lido antes, achei esse mais emocionante. Adorei algumas passagens que pretendo compartilhar posteriormente, mas até onde li essa tem um significado muito especial: o dom da amizade!

Depois dessa breve leitura e já ter adorado muito a forma como o Professor trouxe a temática da amizade para o livro, pretendo ler o livro “A Amizade em o Senhor dos Anéis” da Cristina Casagrande.

Sailor Moon

I re-read Sailor Moon and I have totally forgotten this manga inspires you to believe in yourself and in the power of friendship and family!

Marchioness Edith Pelham & Herbert Pelham, 7th Marquess of Hexham.

I am currently rewatching “Downton Abbey” and Edith is one of the characters who got a WONDERFUL development and finale.

My mom says I resembles her in terms of personality.

Downton Abbey

Any Downton Abbey fans who would know if the book “Downton Abbey - A Celebration: The Official Companion to All Six Seasons” includes everything in “ Downton Abbey - A Celebration: The Official Companion to All Four Seasons”?

Happy Jane Austen July!

I set some goals for this month: read some Juvenilia and rewatch Pride and Prejudice (2005). Unfortunately where I live I cannot find others adaptations of P&P neither others Jane Austen books’s adaptations.

[cacadoradeartemis]

This is the beautiful cover of “Elizabeth I: A Study in Insecurity”, by Helen Castor. Penguin Monarchs have already released 43 in this series and every cover is utterly amazing and has golden details.

I have just bought the edition of “Edward VI: The Last King Boy” and I really want to collect the books about Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II and Victoria.

I also have watched “She‑Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth I” by Helen Castor and really enjoyed!

One of my favourite highlight from “Wuthering Heights” (1947) by Emily Brontë.

Wuthering Heights (1992)

Last friday I watched “Wuthering Heights” (1992) adaptation and I TOTALLY LOVED IT!

Some aspects which make this version closer to the book than the 1939 adaptation is the presence of Cathy Linton, Harethon Earnshaw and Linton Heathcliff! Btw, I really liked the fact Juliette Binoche played both Catherine Earnshaw and Catherine Linton. Also, I loved how the scene in which Cathy talks to Nelly about Heathcliff was portrayed.

And how do I begin to describe Ralph Fiennes acting? Those last scenes... phenomenal!!

Wuthering Heights (1939)

I have watched “Wuthering Heights” (1939) yesterday and I really enjoyed this adaptation. But there were some things very different from the book:

Cathy Linton, Linton Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw does not appear, which would set a very important role in Heathcliff revenge.

It is said Heathcliff went to America, but in the book this fact is not mentioned.

Edgar Linton does not die.

I pretend to watch the others adaptations such as: 1950, 1992, 1998, 2009, 2011.
