It is now tradition for me to read a novel – and know that that novel exists – after seeing the film. Luckily I understood – or, rather, I accepted – that a film is part of the transmedia project of the novel , so I can enjoy the book better and not swear during the film. I have only read 19 of the following 27 novels, but I know I will also like the other 8, which I will read soon anyway. I also started to take and read other works by some authors. In short, cinema has enriched my library and I suppose it will continue to do so. The list satisfies everyone, there are 12 literary genres: Historical novel Mainstream Thriller Science fiction Dramatic Autobiographical Classic Biographical Post-apocalyptic Horror Children's literature Adventure You won't find romance novels, but I imagine you already know that.
Strangely, there are no fantasies: perhaps because I have been on this ground forever and arrived before Hollywood. A point in my favor. The films are in order of viewing. #1 – Frankenstein (by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley) – Classic/Science Fiction I was a kid when I saw one of the first versions of Frankenstein on television . I still remember some Special Data images of it. He didn't scare me, but he left an impression on me. As an adult I read the novel and enjoyed it greatly. Above all, I understood that it is not a horror novel, as is often believed. Indeed, it is considered the first science fiction novel . An epistolary novel that leaves its mark. #2 – Misunderstood (by Florence Montgomery) – Classic Also seen on TV, obviously the first version. Dramatic story, which I liked even though I was little. But kids like movies in which they are the protagonists. Especially if they cause trouble in the story. The novel Misunderstood is different from the film , and therefore it is even more intense.
At least that's how I found it. The choices of the director are incomprehensible (nice pun), but he still made a good film. #3 – The Puppy (by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings) – Classic I always have fond memories when I think back to this film. The story, the scenarios, the characters: I really liked everything. Reading the novel I didn't seem to find any major differences. If you have to see the movie, watch the one with Gregory Peck. Rawlings' style really captured me and I recently bought and read her first novel, Under the Hidden Moon : another beautiful picture of Florida in those times. So I couldn't miss The Golden Apples . #4 – Orzowei (by Alberto Manzi) – Children's literature Who doesn't remember Orzowei ? A sort of Italian Tarzan. That's how I imagined it when I saw it on TV for the first time.
