Don Giovanni was once the wealthiest and handsomest young man in Messina. Then a tidal wave changed everything. When a well-dressed stranger offers him a magical purse, he knows he shouldn't take it. Only the devil would offer a deal like this, and only a fool would accept.

Don Giovanni is no fool, but he is desperate. He takes the bet: he will not bathe for 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days. Beauty is a small price to pay for worldly wealth, isn't it? Unless he loses the wager--and with it his soul.

Set against the stunning backdrop of ancient Sicily, Donna Jo Napoli's new novel is a powerful tale about discovering what truly matters most.

Produktbeskrivning

Recension

"Napoli expertly sets the scene for this retelling of a traditional Sicilian tale...The lifelike, tactile details of the story make it all eerily real." --The New York Times Book Review

"Readers follow Don Giovanni's journey of the flesh and spirit as he suffers humiliation and physical decay; descriptions of lush feasts and brightly colored brocades give way to wretched scenes described in lurid detail...Napoli never underestimates her audience, depicting human nature at its worst and its best." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Evocative of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, this marvelous story is well told, and the rich, sophisticated language will grip skilled readers." --School Library Journal

"A surprise twist leads to a satisfying love story and closes the novel with more joy, and fewer devilish triumphs, than the original tale." --Booklist

"No hero ever deserved a happy ending or a bath more." --Kirkus Reviews

"Napoli ably describes the ensuing tribulations Don Giovanni undergoes as he becomes more offensive to be around even as he longs for companionship for the first time in his life." --VOYA

"Impeccable pacing conveys the burden of the three-year ordeal, and even those readers for whom the end is no surprise will breathe a sigh of relief to find Giovanni reclaimed and within reach of happiness." --BCCB, STARRED review

"There's something rotten at the center of this novel-length fairy-tale retelling, and that's what makes it so delightful." --Horn Book Magazine

My 7th grade boy like it.

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 17 september 2020

Verifierat köp

My 7th grade boy seemed to like it. He got a great life view out of it. He learned the importance of treating people with kindness and respect is best. The chapters are short so he was able to get through the book very quickly. I didn't read the book myself, but based on his input, I would recommend it.

An Italian Legend Retold

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 4 juli 2012

Verifierat köp

Hmm, I seem to be reading a lot of Donna Jo Napoli lately, even though I don't particularly like her writing. But her stories always sound so interesting.

This story is based loosely on the story of Don Giovanni de la Fortuna. Don Giovanni (no relationship to the Don Giovanni Mozart wrote his opera about) is a wealthy and handsome young man in Sicily. But when a earthquake and tsunami destroys everything he owns, he must wander as a beggar. He still has his good looks, but winter is coming, and he has nowhere to go. When a stranger offers him as much money as he wants if he doesn't wash for three years, three months, and three days, he agrees, though he knows he shouldn't accept. And if he loses, he will lose his soul. This was definitely my favorite Donna Jo Napoli book that I've read so far.

I wasn't familiar with the original myth. However, this was an engaging and interesting tale.

A novel of redemption

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 5 maj 2010

Verifierat köp

This novel is based on the Sicilian fairy tale, "Don Giovanni de la Fortuna." (Some people might be more familiar with the version by the Brothers Grimm, "Bearskin.") Interestingly, the protagonist finds his redemption following a wager with the devil. An arrogant, selfish, and vain man loses everything, and learns about mercy and generosity during three years, three months, and three days of suffering. I couldn't put the book down. My only criticism would be that I felt the ending was somewhat abrupt. Although the book is marketed for young adults, it will be enjoyed by anyone who likes well-done novelizations of fairy tales.

Great read

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 1 december 2018

Verifierat köp

The Wager, by Donna Jo Napoli. What had drawn be towards this book was the cover, but when I read the summary, I was hooked. I've read this book many times, and I would say if you would like an adventure of a man losing nearly everything, finding, losing companions, poverty, before coming to riches he would not expect, but at a terrible price, I recommend this for you.

I enjoy reading this author. Nice, quick, easy read. A keeper in the bookshelf. I plan on re-reading it again later.
