The Witch of Portobello


I finished it today; the Witch of Portobello, the new book by Paulo Coelho.
I couldn't really decide if I could love this book until the last two chapters. Many of my long-made beliefs were shaken and it made me so uncomfortable at times, I couldn't comment on the book. But when I read the last chapters, I thought just like always, Paulo does it. Makes you move out of your so called peace and discover what's out of your comfort zone. Now I'd like to say, I loved the book; apart from the story, the way of narrating it by different people.

Changes in the arts differs from the change in science in one significant way. Whereas new technology usually displaces the old, and new scientific theory explodes the old, new art does not invalidate earlier human expression.
Obviously, not all artistic styles survive, but Picasso can not do to Rembrandt what the theories of Einstein did to those of Newton.

Went to theatre this week after a long time. Loved the show, except that it was shortened a bit, I do not know for what reason.
Any way, theatre is alive, and that's what I love so much about it. :)
