Niente E Cosi Sia (Opere Di Oriana Fallaci) 1 review
Oriana Fallaci
Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli
apocalyptic
Propably the most "down to the bone" analysis on human nature.
Combines the virtues of a writer in commiting to paper history with an in depth record of moral and ethical opinions on the great of all times crime of human nature;war.
History repeats itself and the proof is this single book on Vietnam war and on what is going on today in the world.
Reading it, leaves you with no doubt about ...

The Force of Reason 62 reviews
Oriana Fallaci
Rizzoli, 2006
The Wonderful Oriana Fallaci
She makes me laugh and she makes me want to cry.
This book is written with such passion and intensity that it makes you want to howl with rage at the stupidity of Eurabia and at the same time clap your hands with joy that someone, this Oriana Fallaci, had the brains and the wisdom and the courage the put it all down. The brains, because her perceptions are clear minded and sharp, the wisdom ...

Force Of Reason1 review
Oriana Fallaci
Unknown, 2005
Reason as antidote
And so the rage and pride gave birth to disdain, guided by reason. In the prologue, Fallaci reveals how the gatekeepers of political correctness have attacked her since the publication of her previous book, The Rage and the Pride. She received insults and death threats from various quarters; politicians, academics and sections of the mass media joined in this choir of condemnation. But there was ...

Letter to a Child Never Born2 reviews
Oriana Fallaci
Pocket, 1982
Short, Sensitive, Thoughtful, Intelligent, Moving
I read this book years ago and have never forgotten it. It's about a professional woman with an unexpected and difficult pregnancy. Her conversations with her unborn child are touching. I don't want to spoil it for you so I'll leave it at that. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and am disappointed to see that it's out of print.

A Man15 reviews
Oriana fallaci
Simon & Schuster, 1980
"And what do you think a man is?"......
Perhaps one of the most powerful books ever in Western culture, this recasting of a profoundly human story cuts as deep to the core of the heart and soul as anything you will ever read. This isn't the pop trifle of mystery writers like Ludlum et al, but the dire consequences of becoming a true existential hero. Sartre and Camus should have had the huevos of Alekos. I first read this in the early ...

The Rage and the Pride: International English Edition6 reviews
Oriana Fallaci
Rizzoli, 2002
about crusaders and reverse-crusaders ...
Oriana Fallaci treats Islamic Fundamentalism as equivalent to Mussolini's Facism or Hitler's Nazi-Ideology. She thinks, that Osama bin Laden started a sort of Islamofascism, a "Reverse Crusade". We all know the Bamiyan Buddhas (the ones the Taliban dynamited) and the September 11's apocalypse, we know the attacks in Madrid, Istanbul and now in London. Journalist Fallaci wrote in her book: "So ...

Oriana Fallaci Se Entrevista a Si Misma: El Apocalipsis1 review
Oriana Fallaci
El Ateneo, 2005
Excelente
Con su estilo contestatario y frentero de siempre, Oriana Fallaci se despide de un mundo que para ella sucumbe en el absurdo religioso musulman, la codicia de politicos irresponsables y la total indiferencia de la gente del comun por temer a ser politicamente incorrectos. A veces un tanto radical y amarga, este libro no deja de ser un epilogo digno de un a mujer que fue una solitaria en todas ...

La fuerza de la razon/ The Power of Reasoning1 review
Oriana Fallaci
El Ateneo, 2004
Reason and Darkness
I cannot understand the reason why this little book has not been translated into English yet. Oriana Fallaci is a noble representative of rationalism: she speaks out, clearly and courageously, against the perils that Islam as a whole - and not just extremists, fundamentalists, and terrorists - present to humankind at the dawn of this new century. She represents, today, the most rigorous tradition ...

REFRESHING!! This book made me hate the whole concept of WAR
I am actually an iranian girl, and when i was 10 years old, i found this book in our personal library. Soon after i started reading it, I fell in love with the book and it's author. the book was written in farsi, therefore it took me years to actually find the translated version of it! This book tells the story of a heroic italian journalist who went to the Viet War, and wrote the truth ...

Interview with history 3 reviews
Oriana Fallaci
Liveright, 1976
Interesting
Fallaci's weaknesses are also her strengths. She's so passionate a journalist, you get a rush off her energy. But her passion also clouds her objectivity, so she seems often fanatical in her opinions and attitudes. If you want to experience the equivalent of reading an arm-waving passionate Italian, this is a worthy book.

The Egotists: [Sixteen Surprising Interviews] (Tempo books)1 review
Oriana Fallaci
Grosset & Dunlap, 1969
A Powerful Group of Interviews
I have so much enjoyed reading this collection of sixteen interviews by Oriana Fallaci, noted Italian Journalist. I found the interview with Norman Mailer to be as relevant today as in 1967 when we were at war with Viet Nam.
Her interview with Ingrid Bergman was so poignant and Miss Bergman is so honest in her self-disclosure about her charmed and also at times very painful life. Mary ...

Oriana Fallaci
Rizzoli International Publications, 2002
21st century eye-opener
With a rare courage and honesty, Oriana Fallaci shinest the light of the truth and candid scrutiny on her country and the world- breaking a ten year silence after the horrific terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001.
A modern day version of Emile Zola's J'Accuse, Fallaci steps in boldly where most fear to tread, exposing the truths that all of us know but all fear to speak. Fallaci ...
