Though I've found the book interesting sometimes, it was difficult to go through because she was heavily inspired by Sartre's ideas. Here's a brief synopsis/analysis:
Simone de Beauvoir visited the US in 1947, the same year Sartre published his own essay, and recorded her experiences in America Day by Day.
The book consists of 13 stories in total. I have commented on all the stories below.
1) MS. Found in a Bottle:
"MS. Found in a Bottle" by Edgar Allan Poe is a classic example of his mastery in the Gothic and macabre. The story is presented as a narrative from an unnamed protagonist who, along with others, finds himself aboard a
ANALYSIS OF THE GARDEN PARTY
The Garden Party is a short imaginary story by the author Katherine Mansfield, published in 1922. Katherine Mansfield is a very well known modernist writer. Rather than focusing on the plot, this novel emphasises the attitudes, feelings and relationships of individuals, and the author paints a picture of the protagonist's inner world as she
"O Meu Pé de Laranja Lima" by José Mauro de Vasconcelos is a classic coming-of-age novel set in Brazil in the 1920s. The book is written in a simple, yet evocative style and tells the story of a young boy named Zezé who is raised by his grandmother in a small village. The novel explores themes of poverty, family, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
One of the strengths of the book is the way it captures the spirit of the time and place in which it is set. The author does an excellent job of depicting the struggles of rural life in Brazil, and the reader can feel the heat, dust, and poverty of the village through the descriptive writing.
The novel's protagonist, Zezé, is an endearing and relatable character, and the reader can't help but root for him as he faces the many challenges of growing up in a poor and isolated community. The relationship between Zezé and his grandmother is particularly poignant, and their bond is one of the highlights of the book.
Overall, "O Meu Pé de Laranja Lima" is a beautifully written and powerful novel that is sure to leave a lasting impression on its readers. It's a must-read for anyone interested in Brazilian literature, and it is considered a classic of the genre.

First of all, this is not a review, but a study in the form of a preparatory article. I will not promote the book, I will fill in the theme and context that the book presents to me with my own concepts.
(I also want to try to write something in English, I thought it appropriate to start with the simple.)

How is it possible to write dispassionately of life in a concentration camp in such a way as to engender great feeling in the reader? This is how Frankl dealt with his experience of those terrible years. The dispassionate writing makes the horrors of the camp extremely distressing, more so than writing that is more emotionally involved. It is almost reportage. The first half of the book is equal in its telling to The Diary of a Young Girl in furthering our understanding of those dreadful times.
There are occasional glimmers of humanity from the Germans. These are so small that rather than illuminate any basic goodness, they cast further into the shadows the terror of living in a place and time where death might be a beating or a shot to the head at any moment. There are also stories of the depths that some of the Jewish victims would sink to in what they would do to stay alive themselves. It made me think that rather than condemn these people for becoming tools of the Nazis, what would I do faced with death or the chance to stay alive a little longer and maybe save family or friends.
7 stars, golden stars for this half of the book.
The second half is about Frankl's psychotherapeutic methods and lost me in boredom. I did read this in its entirety but it wouldn't have spoiled the book, or my appreciation of the genius retelling and brilliant writing of the first half, if I hadn't.
