Jan 24, 2020 at 18:57 comment added isomorphismes I’m in a (¿similar?) position. I find Miles Reid’s stuff more concrete (UAG, OPV, Fano 3-folds, …). I also liked Knörrer and Brieskorn’s book which begins with a lot of actual drawings (with history!) of specific curves. If you look at Stillwell, Brieskorn, Hirzebruch, Reid, you will see overlaps. The Simons Foundation interviewed Brieskorn; this video could be a start. Fulton helps too. Plus 3264 and all that. I’m someone for whom consulting 3–10 sources in parallel is somehow easier than 1 (like balancing a stool on one leg).

Jul 30, 2015 at 22:45 comment added Al-Amrani Hartshorne'book is an excellent classical graduate ref. in Algebraic Geometry. It is not free but it contains plenty of exercises the solutions of which are free ! (see above).

Jul 29, 2015 at 14:10 comment added roy smith Maybe you would find some more examples motivating, such as are found in Harris's introductory book Algebraic Geometry, or Igor Dolghachev's free book on classical algebraic geometry, available on his website: math.lsa.umich.edu/~idolga/CAG.pdf Fulton's Algebraic Curves is also free now I think, math.lsa.umich.edu/~wfulton/CurveBook.pdf and there is the fascinating old book by Semple and Roth.
