Stare a rota» viene dalla ruota della tortura ed è quello che succede ai vecchi bucomani come manifestazione della crisi di astinenza che si ha quando passa l’effetto della pera. Uno di quei libri che è ben saldo nella memoria, nonostante dalla lettura siano passati trent'anni. Uram când oamenii vorbeau de parcă ar fi vrut să mă salveze… Și în tot acest timp ei știau foarte bine că erau acolo doar pentru a privi de sus la mizeria noastră, la mizeria dependenților, pentru a-și satisface propriile dorințe” Non pensavo a niente. Non mi accorgevo di niente. Qualche volta non sapevo neppure se ero ancora in vita.”

Ich kann das so oft lesen, wie ich möchte, ich gewöhn mich offensichtlich nicht an ihre Geschichte. When I got to school all I could do was daydream about Detlef and me going someplace far, far away. And that afternoon, when I met Detlef at the station, I told him about what I wanted to do. He said that he had an aunt and uncle in Canada. They lived on a huge lake with nothing but forests and cornfields around them, and he was sure they would take us in. He said I should finish school first, though, since that would be the smart thing to do. He would go ahead first and find a job (apparently they had lots of jobs available in Canada), and when I followed after him a bit later, he would have already found a log cabin for us to live in together. Il dato anagrafico mi ha sconcertato. Quando vidi il film in tv ero più o meno coetaneo della protagonista, ma non me ne resi conto, mi sembrò che lei e i suoi amici fossero dei giovani adulti, perché un tredicenne (o forse solo io tredicenne?) ritiene adulti tutti coloro che sembrino maggiorenni. tristemeste ironico che questo libro è stato per l'autrice il successo e la rovina al tempo stesso. Gli chiesi: «Ma perché t’ha preso così la fissa del valium?». Lui ripetè che voleva assolutamente tornare indietro. Appena lo guardai più attentamente ebbi un lampo: le sue mani tremavano. Stava quasi a rota.Das ist das, was mich traurig macht. Die Thematik und die Art und Weise wie mit der Person dahinter umgegangen wird. Sie hat das Thema sehr gut geschildert und gut erzählt. Was aus diesem Coming out geworden ist und wie die Menschheit mit ihr umgeht find ich nicht ok. Povestea Christianei e foarte dură, de neimaginat, dar mărturisirea sa e și foarte reală, am fost alături de ea, pe parcursul fiecărei trăiri; încă nu îmi vine să cred că sunt copiii care trec prin lucrurile acestea și rămân neobservați, neajutorați.. am încercat să nu-i judec pe părinții săi, sau să nu fac comparații cu felul în care eu am crescut, dar a fost destul de greu. Zoo Station, a memoir, succeeds by Oppenheimer’s rubric; its nonfiction approach delivers the familiar narrative of a teen’s progression from “gateway” to “cooler” hardcore drugs without a trace of triteness. To make the most value-free assessment possible, Zest’s editorial and marketing decisions assume that today’s young adult readers are just as if not moresophisticated than the parents of Christiane’s generation.

What you find here has been done sitting at a desk, in a small town on the shores of a lake, forty years later after the publication of the book. Very far indeed, both in time and in space, from the facts and places narrated. More importantly, it means that we wish that with time, more and more people will jump on board sharing their pictures, their videos and their stories about everything mentioned in this book. It’s a fair point: today, largely through the educational and preventative efforts concentrated upon them, drugs are ubiquitous to even the most sheltered of American teenagers. (Christiane, however, only learns of drugs in social environments; her public school seemingly has no agenda other than filling itself to maximum capacity.) Contemporary educated American readers can therefore dispense with the propagandistic dross and appreciate Christiane’s damning critical insights. Se qualcuno avesse la mia stessa abitudine di leggere i libri evitando prologhi e prefazioni, lo avverto che Noi, i ragazzi dello zoo di Berlino è lo sbobinamento di varie ore d’intervista a Christiane F. che iniziò a farsi d’eroina a tredici anni, nel 1976. The UK issue of the book was released by Corgi on 21 August 1981 under the title H. Autobiography of a Child Prostitute and Heroin Addict and was translated by Susanne Flatauer ( ISBN 0552117722 ISBN 9780552117722).

Felscherinow stated in a December 2013 interview that while she continues to consume methadone and occasionally smokes a cannabis joint, alcohol is her main drug issue at the age of 51 years. In response to a question of why she never discontinued illicit drug use, she explained: "I never wanted to give them up. I didn't know anything else. I decided to live a different life to other people. I don't need a pretence to stop." [2] Discography [ edit ] Singles [ edit ] What bothers me most of all is this Christiane F. thing. Is she finally clean now, or not? As if there is nothing else to say about me. And I can't get clean. It's just what everyone else has always expected of me. The doctors complain. But I do have a life, after all. [4]
