I know it's based on the movie, and not the other way around, but the movie is somehow more whimsical and shows more the friendship between the Dead Poets, specially Neil and Todd. The whole academia vibes of the movie isn't present in the book and those are the only reasons it's not a 5-stars. Love the message and it'll stick with me for life

It's weird to read this 1994 book in the current state of the world. It's about something so absurd that it could easily happen.

It felt like it went nowhere, specially the romance the MC wrote. Still, it's reflective on the inportance of memories and on how weird authoritive regimes are,

It's funny the first 50 Pages, I laughed about the concept and it does help understanding some basis of philosophy. However, it doesnt need that much analysis and deep dive

So many thuings that make this book beautiful... from giving words literal power to the fight for the distruction of the webs of imperialism, colonialism and racisn
Stunning

Several interesting things about this book.

1) even in hell Man created discourses around a God to justify violence

2) in hell you every basic need is taken of....

3) the concept follows the hopefull and hopelessness of I who have never known men and the folloing poem from Luís de Camões.

Oh como se me alonga de ano em ano

A peregrinação cansada minha!

Como se encurta, e como ao fim caminha

Este meu breve e vão discurso humano!

Minguando a idade vai, crescendo o dano;

Perdeu-se-me um remédio, que inda tinha;

Se por experiência se adivinha,

Qualquer grande esperança é grande engano.

Corro após este bem que não se alcança;

No meio do caminho me falece;

Mil vezes caio, e perco a confiança.

Quando ele foge, eu tardo; e na tardança,

Se os olhos ergo a ver se inda aparece,

De vista se me perde, e da esperança
