There flu those who advertise with simple sore throat to continue unbearable chills, body aches and three days in bed without wanting to know the world. This went on for a week, lasting colds with or without drugs ...
But this time I recovered very soon, or at least I thought the week went faster than the account. For two reasons.
The first: the tablets of the antibiotic that the doctor prescribed me are the best I've taken in my four decades of life. After taking the second one was almost no discomfort of any kind, only the memory: Cuba was a fever as the injections were the bruises on my buttocks for several weeks ...
The second reason: the third day I started to read me The Feast of the Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa, and believe me I tried but I could not stop reading until the end. I read in one sitting.
What good book has given me my friend Maria devoted to it by the author himself, on the first page.
jewel. Excellent novel. What a pleasure to read. With what I wanted to look forward, page by page, read the next. Too bad I have drained so fast the 518 in this edition of Alfaguara, 2000.
is the second book by Mario Vargas Llosa that I read. And the first time that in their literature, I see why it is censored in Cuba. Any sample? This list of words chosen at random : Patria, dictatorship, dictator, statesman, reckless military torturers, Generalissimo, party, business, harassment, priests, conspirators, wayward children, subversive activities, police, traitor, arrested, detained , death, hell.
My second book of Vargas Llosa has been a success. I agree 100% with the final round of the cover: "A book to keep the roots. A novel that is history." Hopefully
for every flu has one as well, to keep my roots ...
[The first book by Mario Vargas Llosa that I read was his novel Mischief the bad girl. The day I started reading it, in October 2010, wrote a post here on the blog. I liked it, just that.]
