The Castle of Otranto, de Horace Walpole


The Castle of Otranto desiludiu-me, esperava melhor daquele que é considerado o primeiro romance gótico, de 1764. Parece-me um dos casos em que um livro fez época mas fica irremediavelmente datado - ao contrário, por exemplo, dos romances góticos de Ann Radclyffe, como O Italiano ou The Mysteries of Udolpho, que ainda hoje se lêem com agrado e conseguem manter um clima de mistério e suspense digno do que foram os antepassados dos romances de mistério / policiais (ou como, décadas depois, o excelente A Mulher de Branco, de Wilkie Collins). Uma das diferenças dos livros de Ann Radclyffe, por exemplo, é que nestes nunca há recurso ao sobrenatural, os mistérios aparentemente inexplicáveis têm sempre uma explicação terrena mais ou menos engenhosa; em Otranto, a utilização do sobrenatural parece-me sinal de falta de imaginação e acaba por ser moralista e empobrecedora.

Mas enfim, é um livro de referência, um marco, e tem a virtude de ser pequeno e nada maçador. A título de curiosidade, Horace Walpole também lançou a moda do revivalismo neogótico na arquitectura com o seu castelo no campo e inventou a palavra serendipity. E mais uma vez louvo a iniciativa do projecto gutenberg (www.gutenberg.org) que nos permite aceder a obras fora de circulação ou difíceis de encontrar.

It is not all the time simple to find information about a specific topic.

What we have noticed, more and more, is just doing a simple search does not always yield the most suitable information.

But you're not alone, not by any means, because we think this is a common experience for many people. The following information concerning [url=http://muachungdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] is a consequence of all those frustrations people have.

You can acquire this information and expand on it in your own researching efforts.

The relative complexities of women's and men's style

Both women and men may have the difficulties of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's style often seems a lot less complicated. Of program, for both sexes, outfits and fashion options can be equally as elaborate, and there are many'cool'items that could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style has a few choice things that can exist eternally - which man is likely to look out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick classic pieces, colours and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why common men's fashion is amazing

The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several types for various situations, however they are all popular in their search for a clever, sharp search for the wearer. The good thing about basic style for men is that it is simply fashionable effortlessly neat. A well-groomed lady will almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the design of such clothing. A suit will undoubtedly be worn to work in several careers because of the professional search it provides to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Similarly a match will be worn to several social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary versatility that enables suits to be utilized in virtually all events is what gives it its eternal advantage and a permanent place in men's fashion.

Contemporary trends in classic men's fashion

Although common men's styles will never be changed, it is interesting to observe that changes in men's fashion trends have produced particular common clothes back into fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, especially, has had back a wide-variety of classic models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet expensive way, working in a sophisticated approach and placing importance on appearance. This pattern for nearly'over-the-top'traditional style for men is apparent from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in significantly Victorian-style attire and decide to try the roads on vintage bikes - with most of the men wearing perfect mustaches! This really is just one of many examples of proof displaying the resurrection of such types. There are also numerous blogs online which focus on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though specific issues with classic men's fashion may be cut back as new trends, the essential outfits which they are derived from will never fall out of fashion.

"All it takes really are a few basic garments. And there is one key - the simpler the better." - Cary Grant
