Charles Baudelaire I Fiori del Male

@HardRock: well, I guess it's because I've had quite a few good teachers (but also many individuals who deserved a good kick in the ass!), but I think school is a good place to learn new things, to receive stimuli, things that go alongside "compulsory study." In my opinion, if someone finds something that can stimulate them, school becomes lighter, as well as a place to receive new impulses. It depends a lot on the teachers, and I'm incredibly grateful to have had some really good ones, who weren't just there to repeat what was written in the book and to interrogate.

I’ve never really explored thrash in general (except for Metallica from "Kill 'em All" to "...And Justice For All"; but hey, I was just starting out then). In the metal scene, I prefer to focus on other things. Clear message.

Mmmmh... I don't fully agree that the blame for the degeneration of today's young people's reading habits can be entirely placed on schools. It's true that all that crap from "writers" that's so trendy right now, I'd send them off to exile in Siberia! ..Yes, exactly, poems like "Lesbo," "Le metamorfosi del vampiro," etc., are the ones that were removed from the first edition and are now published as "Poesie condannate," in the appendix. The figure of Rimbaud (who, just as you say, at 20 throws everything away and goes to Africa amidst arms trafficking) is one of the most fascinating in all of literature. Damn, he really changed the way poetry is made and yet he couldn't care less! Fantastic :D

@Avvelenata: ah ah ah! :D No, I didn't discover the dear Diamandina through Baudelaire :) A friend of mine (older than me) let me listen to it several years ago. Of course, at that time I wasn't able to appreciate such madness :) "O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!"

Yes, you're absolutely right; it's true that certain things cannot be conveyed through mere teaching, but I believe it's important that at least the input is given, and then those who are interested dive in headfirst and become intoxicated by it, right?! :) Aaaaaah, Rimbaud...little phenomenon, in search of a "lingua nuova"...you give your all to literature and then you leave, far away, forever, throwing everything to the winds. What an astonishing character :D

4.5 rounded up. A note: too many ellipses in my opinion. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Art, but I would like to start getting interested in it :)

Poisoned, I quote you infinitely regarding the topic "literature & homework"! :)

Thank you O__O. If you're interested, I recommend the BUR edition (perhaps the only one available at the moment, but I'm not sure): it also includes an interesting introduction and a comprehensive collection of documents regarding the author (photographs, images of the frontispieces of the first editions of the works, certificates, memoirs from acquaintances, etc.). It's in a box set of 2 volumes (with the original text facing).
