EAT PRAY LOVE.
ちょうど先週から日本でも上映されている、ジュリア・ロバーツ主演の映画の原作です。
ちなみに、ジュリア・ロバーツは大好きな女優さんの１人。 同世代でもあるし、声、喋り方、顔、彼女が関わった映画、どれも好きです。
英語なので読むのに時間は掛かるけど、辞書は極力引かずに、どうしても分からない単語だけ調べて読み、ストーリーを大きくとらえて読み進めていくのが洋書を読む秘訣。
これは著者の自伝ですが、彼女が３２歳の時に離婚で疲労困憊し、ボーイフレンドとの人間関係もうまく行かず、色々な意味で神経衰弱して自分を見失いそうになり、失望と孤独とに格闘しながら自分を見いだしていく、、というお話し。
私はとうに３２歳ではないけれど、心情に共感できるし、楽しくてユーモア溢れる実に面白い本。
I am reading EAT PRAY LOVE now.
This is the original novel of Julia Robert's latest starring movie that has just released a week ago in Japan.
She is one of my fav actress. She is in the same generation as me and I love her voice, way of speaking, face and movies she has involved.
Reading a novel in English takes more time though, grabbing the outline of story and keep reading is the secret of reading an foreign text rather than looking up words one by one. I only use a dictionary for words really don't know.
This novel is based on a true story of Elizabeth Gilbert. She was so desperate by her divorce at the age of 32, by her relationship with a boyfriend and by many things around her. She was almost lost herself but started a journey to look for herself struggling with Depression on her left shoulder and Loneliness on her right shoulder. I am far from the age of 32 years old though, it is really wonderful book that can be shared the state of mind and a funny and full of humor.
