Why Does My Clitoris Have White Stuff In It?

Have you ever read ..? (1)

I'm back, it's time to reveal a of two categories I mentioned yesterday:) This is Have you ever read ..? , created through the union of two brilliant minds (and that of my Markus ).


Have you ever read ..? was created by Brother and Markus
What is? Nothing could be simpler, once a week we will present a book to the library and that is very famous or not, or has been forgotten over time:)

Well, let's start! :)

Today I present a book that has definitely affected me, in my view is beautiful and has no contraindications: D This is Ensign and Lieutenant Hornblower , Cecil Scott Forester.
Many of you unfortunately do not know, or perhaps you remember the name thanks to telefim that was drawn from the trilogy (for once I can say that they have complied with the book in it).
The story begins with a young Midshipman, Horatio Horblower, slowly and not too heroic (and perhaps is also why I so loved) manages to climb up the ladder of the Royal Navy, to become an admiral. His story is set during the Napoleonic wars (between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries), when France and Great Britain clashed at sea. Furthermore, not everyone knows that the character of Hornblower is partly inspired by an admiral who really existed, Thomas Cochrane, who also inspired the series of Patrick O'Brian.

While in the original series consists of 11 volumes, was published in Italy in 3 volumoni with qualification:
-Ensign and Lieutenant Hornblower
-The Adventures of Captain Hornblower, Hornblower
Commodore and Lord

Some hints on the life of the author:

Cecil Scott Forester pseudonym of Cecil Louis Troughton Smith (Cairo, August 27, 1899 - Fullerton, April 2, 1966) was an English writer who gained fame writing tales of adventure on the sea military setting.
His most famous works are eleven books in the series devoted to Horatio Hornblower, on the naval warfare during the Napoleonic era, and The African Queen (1935), which was made into a film, made in 1951 by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart that he and Katherine Hepburn. Born to
Cairo, Forester had a complicated life, including relatives imagined, a secret marriage and a debilitating disease. He was educated at Alleyn's school, the Dulwich College, Dulwich (South London) and at Guy's Hospital, King's College, London. During World War II moved to the United States, where he wrote propaganda for the purpose of helping that country to go to war on the Allied side, and then went to reside in Berkeley, California. He married Kathleen Belcher in 1926, had two children and divorced in 1945. The eldest son, John Forester, was a famous cyclist and wrote a biography of his father. In 1947, CS Forester secretly married a woman named Dorothy Foster. He suffered a severe form of arteriosclerosis in the latter part of his life.

I recommend in the strongest terms, not boring and it reads very quickly despite the amount (about 600 pages).

What do you think of this column? You like? A lot because it gives me the opportunity to rediscover the great authors forgotten, sometimes unfairly.
