Narrative Concering Books Cocaine

Paris in the 1920s – dizzy and decadent. Where a young man can make a fortune with his wits … unless he is led into temptation. Cocaine’s dandified hero Tito Arnaudi invents lurid scandals and gruesome deaths, and sells these stories to the newspapers. But his own life becomes even more outrageous than his press reports when he acquires three demanding mistresses. Elegant, witty and wicked, Pitigrilli’s classic novel was first published in Italian in 1921 and charts the comedy and tragedy of a young man’s downfall and the lure of a bygone era. The novel’s descriptions of sex and drug use prompted church authorities to place it on a list of forbidden books, while appealing to filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder who wrote a script based on the tale. Cocaine retains its venom even today.

Assessment Based On Books Cocaine

Voor al het jonge volk dat graag wilt experimenteren met het bedwelmend goedje. Intrigerend en anti-gedateerd inkijkje in de wereld van koningin cocaïne. Eeuh...hoe lang blijft die roes hier aanhouden?

E se Bardamu avesse fatto i soldi e con le donne ci avesse saputo fare come Andrea Sperelli?Strano autore questo Pitigrilli, sperimenta, scandalizza, commuove e fa persino riflettere.Al giorno d'oggi, è chiaro, non scandalizza più nessuno, ma pensare che nel 1921 quando fu scritto, c'era un certo Dino Segre, ebreo prima che le leggi razziali lo costringessero all'esilio, che si divertiva a scrivere, in odor di Futurismo e con le lezioni di stile di un certo D'Annunzio alle spalle, di cocaina,

من با ترجمه پرویز داریوش این کتاب را خواندم و ترجمه خیلی به دلم نچسبید . امیدوارم ترجمه دیگر کتاب بهتر باشه

This has a cynical, brittle, world-weary tone that seems very typical of the 20s and 30s. The obvious explanation would be that it was the psychological impact of the Great War which seems plausible. Its a fairly dark view of human nature: lustful, jealous, manipulative, untrustworthy, superficial, pleasure-seeking; but it makes for an entertaining read. All the sex and drugs must have been rather shocking at the time, and the Catholic Church apparently put the book on its banned list, but its

I didn't like the book. I only enjoyed the parts when Titu was high and would go on and on about God and His creation and some small parts like when his friend, the waiter, told Titu how waiters spit in people's food because they need to feel superior. Well... I didn't like it that much when I thought that that could happen in the real world too.I thought it was kind of unrealistic here and there. Like when Titu sniffed coke for the first time. He sniffed a double dose and considering that he
