Briefly:
impressions of the “Cursed Kings" and the "Magician’s Diary" Automatic translate

Maurice Druon’s “Cursed Kings” is a book that left an incredibly deep mark in my soul, combining the amazing history of the French dynasty and the incredibly exciting plot. After reading this work, a feeling of incomprehensibility remains in my heart, because everyone dreamed at heart to be a little king, live a royal life… However, the whole history of the French monarchy is replete with only poisoning, betrayal and murder. Power is the only thing the courtiers need, which is why even close kings are not afraid to mess their hands. The book really pushes you to thought, enriches you with historical facts, exposes the entire background of human nature. I even doubt which category this work belongs to, since it is one of the few combining both components that I highlighted above. Decide for yourself.

Paulo Coelho "The Diary of a Magician." This book has a very remarkable property, either it is admired or disliked, there is no middle ground.

Indeed, the impression is very strong, everyone perceives it in their own way, and, I think, this is an indicator of a good book. I believe that all the books of Paulo Coelho are literally riddled with food for thought, each line becomes an aphorism, each work is a real art. The book is grand, it is about human abilities and opportunities, about the unlimitedness of the mind, about love, trust, the possibility of being happy. After reading, there is an enchanting feeling about the limitlessness of their capabilities. The work is very easy to read, easy to read, but difficult to digest. It is necessary to ponder each sentence, not run through the eyes, be able to read between the lines, and not look on the surface. I think this work should be a reference book of each person…
