Explanation In Favor Of Books The Orange Girl
'My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought I'd hear from him again, but now we're writing a book together' To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, 'The Orange Girl'. But 'The Orange Girl' is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centres around an incident in his father's youth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivated by a beautiful girl standing in the aisle, clutching a huge paper bag of luscious-looking oranges. Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.Present Books Toward The Orange Girl

But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope. Jostein Gaarder, The Orange GirlThe Orange Girl was my introduction to Jostein Gaarder; Thanks to my friend, ST for suggesting Gaarder to me. The Orange Girl was the perfect book to read after finishing Ulysses. Gaarder is a true romantic and The Orange Girl is as fine a feel good book as there is. While reading The Orange Girl, you will experience a wide range of emotions ~~ you will laugh, cry, be frustrated, andWords Never DieMy father died before we could have a proper conversation. I was still an infant too young to talk about life, love, death, or anything else that could possibly matter!...However, dad wanted so much to guide me, to be there for me, that before his death he managed to write a letter addressed to a future me a letter I found in a moment I desperately needed it!Unlike people, words never die!P.S.: Im not telling you the story of my life these thoughts belong to the main character
I once had a really horrible boyfriend (actually, Ive had several), and while he busied himself with Crown lager and transforming into Mr Hyde I would bury myself in Sophies World, a book lent to me by a kind aunty with impeccable timing. The solace I found among those pages initiated a quest to read more of the Norwegian writers stories, much like my later obsession with Paolo Coelho or Juliet Marillier. But Jostein Gaarders offerings are a bit hit and miss. The curse of being a seasoned
this book had some unique ideas. like how our world is a big fairy tale. and as i was reading i felt a little sorry that we could no longer see the magic. when i look at a tree, I see green leaves that can catch the light and turn it into different chemicals. I think about the mechanism of photosynthesis, and how the vessels in it's trunk transfer different materials to every part of the tree. because i know the rules, a tree doesn't mesmerize me anymore, I don't see the magic when i look at it.
My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought Id hear from him again, but now were writing a book together. Sometimes, there's a disarming beauty in simplicity. Sometimes, describing ordinary feelings and doubts is enough for writing extraordinary books. This is the case. I'm so happy that this is my first Gaarder's book. I love how he evokes emotions in the reader's mind without even trying to manipulate them. The plot isn't quite about philosophy, but it also isn't
As much as I disliked the way the story was narrated, I must confess the ending was breathtaking! My answer is YES, I would definitely choose to live in this world full of wonders even if it's too short or even if we have to leave it so early. Plus, based on my religious beliefs, we have been asked to be brought to this world before birth! So, I stand by my choice to live this life, which is a gift to those who embrace it. Just so you know, I'm one of those who enjoy single little things, even
A friend of mine told me that this was her favorite book and I am happy to say that I can definitely see why. It is a wonderfully written story combining the presence and wonder of an essay with the tension and romance of a novel.It leaves you with a sort of childish wonder which you suddenly notice that you've missed. The world is so "figured out" with science and politics that we sometimes forget what it feels like to look upon it and simply "wonder". The book explains this and manages to pull
