You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. There is something magical in her way of weaving the stories of her characters, and showing different angles of the central theme: passion. I do "Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. I do generally not like historical fiction, but in this case, the setting in Napoleonic Europe adds The Passion to the ideas she develops - in her own, very special language. One main thought, repeated several times over the course of the story, haunts me ever since I read it for the first time: "Between fear and sex is passion". That strikes me as the sad truth of the human condition, a valid explanation for many women's choice to trust themselves to violent, unreliable men. Those men represent such stuff as dreams are made on, and nightmares as well. To save themselves, the protagonists have to make the decision to renounce the passion that is too hurtful to endure. Beautiful fiction! View all 14 comments. Mouths dry up, palms sweat, conversation flags, and all the time the heart is threatening The Passion fly from the The Passion once and for all.

Magical realism at is best View all The Passion comments. Jul The Passion, Daniel rated it it was amazing. There is little I can say about this book that does not border on gushing, but I'll try. The Passion The Passion perhaps one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. It is not so much a novel as a journey through the mind and soul of Henri and Villanelle, through the real and ephemeral Venice, through history and imagination. While containing a solid narrative, it delves into the psyche and spirit of the writer and her characters. Read it once and you are trapped. Read it twice and The Passion gladly relinq There is little I can say about this book that does not border on gushing, but I'll try. Read it twice and you gladly relinquish your freedom. The story follows Henri, cook and horse groomsman for Napoleon Bonaparte, as the conqueror's army moves across Europe and Henri discovers that life is so much more than working for the The Passion particular self-styled overlord. We also meet Villanelle, a wonderful Venetian who makes gender seems as fluid as the water in the canals of La The Passion. Through the consequence of Fate these two meet at one point, and their lives, strange and wonderful The Passion, are never to be the same. In the midst of it all, Love The Passion explored as The Passion force of creation and destruction, as that unique impetus that can make or break a person, and how it is all one and the same. This is the fourth time I have read it, and every single time it casts the The Passion spell on me, sucking me into the world that the pages, only letting me go after a fierce struggle. What I love about The Passion is that, after four times around the block, it still captivates and surprises me. The Passion each The Passion, it reveals The Passion new layer you did not see the time before, and only hints at all the wonderful mysteries it still The Passion for you. It is exhilarating to think The Passion there is so much still waiting for me there, whenever I come back. And come back to it I will This is a book that is not so much read as experienced; by the time the last page is turned, you are a different being. Revel in it. May 16, Read it overnight, a fifth time, and still love it as much as ever. View all 5 comments. It was an intense and disorienting experience. Boundaries break down: you touch the stranger who guides you to your seat, talk to invisible people sitting beside you how un- English! Phones and even watches must The Passion locked away before you enter, so you lose sense of time as well as place. Deprived of vision, your other senses are more intense. But surprisingly, this makes it harder to recognise what you are eating, not easier. You taste a medley of familiar and delicious flavours, but their individual identities are oddly elusive. Names only spring to mind where shape or The Passion are unique scallops, figs, and pomegranate seeds. Reading this early Winterson was similar. Step and the Dark closes round your back. In front, there is no space for you until you take it. Darkness is absolute. But the reading experience is not really about a linear narrative with its sprinkling of magic and occasional forays into the The Passion of passion and love. Just indulge your senses. That's what passion demands. Nova Miller: Interview For New EP ‘The Passion’ & TikTok Fame – Hollywood Life In Christianitythe Passion from the Latin verb patior, passus sum ; "to suffer, bear, The Passion, from which also "patience, patient", The Passion. Depending on one's views, the "Passion" may include, among other events, Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalemhis cleansing of the The Passionhis anointingthe Last SupperJesus' agony in the Gardenhis arresthis Sanhedrin trialhis trial before Pontius Pilatehis crucifixion and his death on Good Fridayhis burialand the resurrection of Jesus. Those parts of the four canonical Gospels that describe these events are known as the "Passion narratives". In some Christian communities, commemoration of the Passion also includes remembrance of the sorrow of Mary, the mother of Jesuson the Friday of Sorrows. The word passion has taken on a more general application and now may also apply to accounts of the suffering and death of Christian martyrssometimes using the Latin form passio. The Gospel of John account varies significantly. Scholars do not agree on which events surrounding the death The Passion Jesus should be considered part of the "Passion narrative", and which ones merely precede and succeed the actual Passion narrative itself. Herod is excited at first to see Jesus and hopes Jesus will perform a miracle for him; he asks Jesus several questions but Jesus does not answer. Herod then mocks him and sends him back to Pilate after giving him an "elegant" robe to wear. All the Gospels relate that a man named Barabbas [20] was released by Pilate instead of Jesus. Matthew, Mark and John have Pilate offer a choice between Jesus and Barabbas to the crowd; Luke lists no choice offered by Pilate, but represents the crowd demanding his release. Once condemned by Pilate, he was flogged before execution. The Canonical Gospels, except Luke, record that Jesus is then taken by the soldiers to the Praetorium where, according to Matthew and Mark, the whole contingent of soldiers has been called together. They place a purple robe on him, put a crown of thorns on his head, and according to Matthewput a rod in his hand. They mock him by hailing him as " King of the Jews ", paying homage The Passion hitting The Passion on the head with the rod. According to the Gospel of John, Pilate has Jesus brought out a second time, wearing the purple robe and the crown of thorns, in order to appeal his innocence before the crowd, saying Ecce homo"Behold the man".
