The Silver Spoon

Product Information

Without a doubt, this season's one indispensable cookbook is The Silver Spoon... Magnificent."— This Week Esta nueva trilogía de Galsworthy es más ligera que la original de "La saga de los Forsyte", más tendente a la comedia tal vez, pero también tiene pinceladas de las que la primera carecía, como escribir y meter como personajes a gente que no es parte de la alta burguesía a la que pertenecen los Forsyte, sino a la clase trabajadora, a la clase baja. The Forsyte Saga was not planned as such but developed over years with sequels coming naturally as they did, and human heart and passion and minds within settings of high society of a Victorian and post Victorian England - chiefly London - and its solid base in property. Michael attempts to help various people who appeal to him in his various capacities, and has mixed results in return, some success and some not quite so much. One couple he helped before his political career began managed to stay together despite delicate problems to negotiate and even managed to migrate to a better climate in Australia, but is not as immediately well off as they thought. Another is a disaster partly, with a third doing all right.

The story is complicated when Jon Forsyth's American brother-in-law arrives at the Mont's on the tail end of his European tour & promptly falls for the offending Marjorie. La nueva edición incluye más de 2000 recetas con imágenes a todo color, muchas de ellas son recetas típicas regionales. Fleur, as always, was a selfish madam and irritated me beyond words. I hope in future books we see her mature and act like the mother and wife her son and husband deserve. Soames, who I've disliked in previous books is definitely growing on me - I truly believe he is a changed man and has softened since becoming a father and growing old.

Es decir, John Galsworthy era más feminista que muchas autoras del siglo XXI, sobre todo si escriben romántica, y lo más sangrante, si escriben romántica juvenil. Porque en un libro actual, Marjorie Ferrars sería esa zorra que le hace la vida imposible a nuestra noble protagonista (aunque esa protagonista de "noble" solo tenga el hecho de que lo dice el o la autora). Y Marjorie Ferrars es la antagonista en esta novela y ese antagonismo con Fleur es lo que mueve mayormente la trama; pero sutilmente, y aunque al principio no lo parezca, Galsworthy termina construyendo con ella el relato de la doble moral de la época. Del "si somos súper liberales y respetamos mucho a las mujeres", pero luego, a la hora de la verdad, un hombre puede hacer cosas y se le permiten comportamientos (sobre todo en cuanto al sexo y más concretamente, el sexo antes del matrimonio) que en una mujer se reprueban del todo. Y Galsworthy monta este discurso sin que en ningún momento tenga que ser amable con Marjorie o tratarla de mártir o justificarla en absoluto. De la misma manera que Fleur, la protagonista (o una de ellos), no tiene que ser siempre buena y sacrificada para que puedas empatizar con ella. Time-honoured recipes that make this a one-stop reference book for traditional Italian cooking.' - House and GardenI was intrigued by Michael (now a British MP) and his upholding of “Foggartism” - which included the belief that if the children of Britain could be caught young (about 14 or 15 years old) and taken out to a new land (like Australia), then this would alleviate the strain on British resources and give the children a more promising life. While not called Foggartism in real life, this policy was actually put into place (at least partially) with “orphans” brought over to Australia to live (in actual fact, not all the children brought over were orphans, causing much distress for their parents and siblings). Italy's version of The Joy of Cooking... Presents lucid recipes for every dish a lover of Italian food could wish for - more than 2,000 of them."— Bon Appetit
