Book Review: O tempora! O mores!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a (seriously) great novel... one of the strongest reasons to learn Spanish.... If you don't like it, don't blame the novel... Blame the times you are living in... Times, indeed, blind to true beauty and greatness... Book Review: Maravilloso!
Summary: 5 Stars
Inicia la historia con la boda de Ursula Iguaran y Jose Arcadio Buendia, la busqueda de un pueblo ideal donde vivir, la angustia de la espera de los hijos, angustia debido a la supersticion ya que eran primos y les habian dicho que sus hijos podrian nacer con cola de cerdo!...
Una historia completamente llena de cultura latinoamericana, donde la supersticion, hechiceria, leyendas, herencias, costumbres y etc's no fallan. Esta edicion viene acompa?ada entre otras cosas de un arbol genealogico que te es de gran ayuda, ya que despues de algunas generaciones de Jose Arcadios y Aurelianos.. pues es sabio recurrir a el.
Siempre he admirado la manera tan descriptiva de Garcia Marquez, pero con este titulo desde la primera persona hasta la ultima, arboles, esquinas y lo que gusten nombrar a todo se le otorga una historia, es un maestro!
Book Review: Deception
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a deception with this novel and this author. I thought it was first of all more organized in his thoughts, second, the theme was not one that lead to any valuable thought or of value to society, except just an invention of his imagination, which seems very convoluted. I read the one he wrote about the coronel did not have any answer or something like that, and that one I liked. But I thought this was his best novel, and I was far wrong. GloriaBook Review: An over-rated Nobel laureate
Summary: 3 Stars
I read Spanish-language books to try to improve my Spanish vocabulary and reading ability. I had already read this author's "Putas tristes", and his autobiography, "Vivir para contarla". In the latter book Garc?a mentioned that he had read Romulo Gallegos when he was young. The latter's book, "D??a B?rbara", which truly IS a classic of Latin American writing. I found Garc?a's book to have the same theme ("the struggle between landowners and peasants in L.A.), and even the style, to be essentially the same. Many other Latin authors, such as Isabel Allende, seem to also use the same plagiaristic ploy. Another thing annoying about Garc?a is his self-admitted tendency to employ outrageous exagerations with a straight face. In one episode of "Cien a?os" he describes a man so strong he carries a store counter from a store out into the street, and it too eleven men to get it back in. Come on now!!
