Follett, whose novel The Pillars of the Earth concerns the building of a medieval cathedral, brings his expert scene building to these snippets of Notre Dame’s history. Another significant date, 1944, was when Charles de Gaulle boldly faced snipers to walk 190 feet to the cathedral’s front pew to commemorate the ousting of the Nazis from Paris. These include 1163, when work first began on constructing a Gothic church 1831, when Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame was published, helping to immortalize the structure and 1844, when Viollet-Le-Duc began his controversial restoration of the crumbling building. In this concise and informative work, written to raise money for the restoration of Notre Dame after its recent fire, Follett ( Eye of the Needle) focuses on six key dates in the cathedral’s history. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not the book you start with, it’s the book that book leads you to.” There’s magic in being surrounded by books. It really inspired me and I can’t wait for what’s next.Īlso, can I just quote everything? Because I really need and want to: Steal Like an Artist gives ideas that apply to anyone who’s trying to inject some creativity into their life and their work. This was such a phenomenal and much needed read for me. ![]() It's just hard to pack away the awareness that while you're reading about creating art, you could spend that time creating art. It's good to read motivational stuff, especially because creating art can be a pretty lonely process. I'm not saying there's no place for these types of books, and this one is smart because it's a quick read and it sticks pretty well to the motivational side of things as opposed to the nuts and bolts. A how-to book about painting is probably of less use than a book of paintings you enjoy. In other words, a book ABOUT writing is probably less helpful to a writer than a book that's just plain good. The inherent problem in any book that's a how-to for something artistic, whether it be writing or painting or making music or the artistry in tailoring a custom Voltron costume, the problem with the how-to book is that when you're reading the how-to book you're not doing the actual thing you're being taught to do. They make me feel better in the moment, but ultimately don't do much towards building a full picture of happiness. ![]() ![]() If you loved Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, this book is invaluable reading.
