The ghost of the past reader closes the circle this Christmas under the banner of Dickens.
A Christmas Carol is in fact one of the characters of Desy Icardi‘s Christmas e-book.
For this reading I have to thank Luciana who pointed out the link to Fazi Editore.
Desy Icardi as well as a writer is a stand-up comedian and blogger: together with Grace Dis, Sara Ronco and Federica Salassa she created Pataridens a blog dedicated to funny stories on female issues.
I immediately fell in love with the lawyer Ferro who I discover is also the protagonist of Desy’s other novels.
The idea was precisely to take the characters created by Desy and make them move within a Christmas story.
Good idea! Don’t you agree?
Hi I'm Claudia and this is KCDC.
I love this painting of the passionate reader on his step ladder. I believe it was painted by the German artist Carl Spitzweg.
Oh thanks!
This is absolutely interesting!
I did not know him.
I am doing some research and found that the painting is called “Der Bücherwurm” “The Bookworm” and that it is in the Museum Georg Schäfer, Schweinfurt.

Is this correct?
Yes, absolutely!
“Der Bücherwurm”! I had forgotten the title of this lovely painting; I am glad you mention it.
Carl Spitzweg – I like his slightly ironic paintings. He was a painter of the “Biedermeier” epoch in Germany.
I am also a “Bücherwurm”, worming my way through books.
