Os seis livros preferidos de J.K. Rowling / J.K. Rowling's six favourite books

1. O livro preferido
Emma, de Jane Austen




"Virginia Woolf said of Austen, 'For a great writer, she was the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness,' which is a fantastic line. You're drawn into the story, and you come out the other end, and you know you've seen something great in action. But you can't see the pyrotechnics; there's nothing flashy".






 2. O escritor vivo preferido

Roddy Doyle


 3. Outro livro de eleição

Chéri, de Colette





E os livros preferidos da sua infância







4. The Little White Horse, de Elizabeth Goudge

"Goudge was the only one whose influence I was conscious of. She always described exactly what the children were eating, and I really liked knowing what they had in their sandwiches". 



 




5. The Story of the Treasure Seekers, de E. Nesbit

"She's the children's writer with whom I most identify. She said, 'By some lucky chance, I remember exactly how I felt and thought at 11.' That struck a chord with me. The Story of the Treasure Seekers was a breakthrough children's book. Oswald is such a very real narrator, at a time when most people were writing morality plays for children".

6. Skellig, de David Almond

"It's the best children's book I have read recently".
