“Happiness can be found even in the darkest moments, if we can use the light well.” This mythical phrase by Albus Dumbledore, taken directly from the Harry Potter saga, which is still one of the most followed today, more than 20 years after its first publication by JK Rowling, is one of the words that goes before and after. have marked in our lives. With eyes still innocent, full of hope, we dream of it, with a clear desire: what does the future hold for me? Yes, in the realm of our adult travels, we read them with passion and gradually build our personality, influenced by their magic. But it may be now, with more arrangement, that we can clearly perceive its essence. And reading them again is equated with confirmation: that’s how we evolved. But also: this is how we remain enthusiastic, years after our eyes fell on these lines.
Our passion does not stand alone. Some sagas became world phenomena and conquered centuries and borders. that was how Under the spell of the Ring, with over 150 million copies, or The little Prince, with more than 140 million, found their place on the shelves of young people from all corners of the world. The success of these works on paper usually involves a leap to the screen, as we have seen again recently with Jay Asher’s novel, For thirteen reasonsthat is precisely about problems that directly affect young people, such as bullying or suicide, or the witch, adaptation of the Witcher Saga by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, also brought to life on screen by British actor Henry Cavill. Will they become the classics of the new generations? Everything points to yes.
The classics never die: dive into the ins and outs of these mythical tales. Like “Proust madeleine” we enjoy it with more pleasure than ever, with a sharp vision, but no less nostalgic. Here are the 10 teenage-flavored novels you won’t get tired of re-reading. Simply unforgettable.
Don’t deny it, you read Lauren Weisberger’s novel and suddenly dreamed of working in a fashion magazine, with a wardrobe in your house like the one in runways and being the most elegant in the office… Now you could read it again without a hitch, although if you already know the job market, Andy’s story might sound a bit like a fantasy.
Its publication may have caught you towards the end of your adolescence, but certainly the work of Paulo Coelho I mark you. Now María’s story, her disappointment with relationships, her in-depth analysis of love and a taboo topic like prostitution, as well as the quest to be herself, will captivate you.
The story of the patosa became fashionableBridget Jones and you read it cover to cover. Of course you dreamed of becoming a professional with as much success as her and with two men fighting over you, something that, if you’re reading it now, will be a little unlikely…
Maybe you discovered almost by accident Audrey Hepburn interpreters Holly Golightly in the 1961 movie Breakfast with diamonds and then you decided to read Capote’s story yourself. And yes, you must have been disappointed to see that the book was much less romantic and didn’t have the happy ending of the tape. The good thing about rereading it now? That you will like the book more than the history of Hollywood.
And so, as if by magic, the whole history of the Middle Ages, which you had little interest in high school, became like the best soap opera of the Middle Ages. If you re-read it now, you will certainly discover nuances and references that completely eluded you a few years ago. Strongly recommended!
The memoir work Frank McCourt became a bestseller that managed to win prizes as important as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award† When you read it, you were stunned by the horrors this Irish family endured in the 1930s and 1940s and you didn’t understand much of it; now, from adulthood, it may be time to face history again.
There are two options here: one) you read the book by sex in new york when it was published or two) you fell in love with the first season of the series and decided to read it yes or yes. Sure, in the first case, you probably didn’t love Carrie as much as those who succumbed to the series… What could happen if you read it now? Well, aside from demystifying the entire series and the two movies, you’ll love the original story even more.
While there have always been those who have considered this work an essential piece of literature, the truth is that the work was relegated to the geek universe for a few years until the world in general (and your teenage self in particular) discovered that Orlando Bloom I would participate in the films of the early 2000s. And of course you read the book and dreamed of Legolas… If you immerse yourself in the story again, the reading will be much more mature than what you did then, no doubt about that.
If you are now reading the first book of the adventures of the boy who does not know that he is a wizard, it may seem too childish to you. Rather read the last three –Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix† Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Y Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows– and relive a slightly more grown-up return to Hogwarts.
This classic of literature characterized us in our youth for its plot focused on human rights: a lawyer defends the case of a black man accused of raping a white girl, teaching his children key stories.
“It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you can judge yourself well, you are a real sage” was one of the great teachings of this literary classic, which continues to fill our hearts with tenderness. It is today the second most translated book in history.
Another classic that we read with passion in our youth… a deep reflection on the human condition and our place in the world, key in adolescence.
