Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas arrived! You have to forgive me because between lunch and lunch I haven't had time to write something on my blog. Well, if I had to suggested books, undoubtedly I'll speak of the last that they have given me this Christmas (which I have demanded): "Vida y destino" de Vasili Grossman and "Un día de cólera" de Reverte. Both seemingly bellicose but with a large philosophical base in the case of Vasili.

But I would like to quote from books that I personally have marked my childhood, and these nostalgic dates because I've passed a lot of evenings to read these books. One is "Leyendas" of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. In particular "Ojos verdes" . Also I read the famous book by Neruda, "Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada. Cien sonetos de amor". Also I think I have read a lot of times "La isla del tesoro" by Stevenson. Those who have read Becquer you would love to read "Relatos" by Henry James. They are not fantasy or legends, but they are very entertaining. I remember to have read "La Casa de Bernarda Alba" in 5 times ... Not that I weren't bored so much, but it's better than to stay with the family! Merry Christmas to everybody!

Maus (1991-1992), de Art Spiegelman

I recommend this comic: Maus is the story of a survivor of Auschwitz, Vladek Spiegelman, narrated by his son Art. In Maus, Spiegelman goes beyond the Holocaust to settle in the psychology of the survivor of the shadow of a suicidal mother and the ghost of a brother who never knew. The characters are shown with facial animal thus, for example, the Jews are portrayed mice, while the Nazis are cats. Written and drawn by Art Spiegelman, Maus is unanimously considered by critics as one of the best comics from history. It is also one of the few comics that transpired not only the general public but did so with a recognition remarkable received one of the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes in 1992, a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation and gave rise to an exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Art Spiegelman was born in Switzerland to the United States to live with their parents, being a baby. In 1968 his mother commits suicide and leaves with existential conflict. When, later, Art becomes artist decides to translate the story of her father in comic and, in this way, try to translate their own life. Spiegelman decided upon presenting the story a story narrated by her father while you interview. Then we can see in the novel Art to making an interview to his father, which gives us a very precise idea of the character of his father and the relationship that they have.

A story that terrorizes those who read it, though it is told by a mice.

I'm sorry!
