Author	Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
ISBN	0140436774

Demoré muchísimo en terminarlo pero me pasaba algo raro. Cuando lo leía me parecía grandioso. No quería dejarlo. Quería saber que pasaba con Rosas y Facundo. Además el estilo de escritura me pareció fascinante. Algunas partes leía en voz ala y le daba el tono que pienso que Sarmiento le quiso...

Well received in its own day and all but forgotten in the last century, Anton Reiser (1785) has regained in our times the popular attention it richly merits. Subtitled a "psychological novel" by its author, who also called it a biography, the work is actually a highly authentic autobiography. The work...

It took me awhile before I got really interested on this book's story. The prose is in the first person and told by an unnamed narrator. He tells the reader not only the daily happenings in his life but also more importantly, about the two women that he just met at the beginning of the story. Their names are...

So this is a love story supposedly, with innumerable sup-plots. Every time a new character shows up we get yet another tangent. Whats odd is that not only do the actual characters get bored with some of the sub-stories but the author apologises to the reader at least ten times about how repetitive it can...

Came across this on the Boxall 1000 list. An interesting story about a fascinating period of history that I knew next to nothing about.

Parts of the book were better than others. The dialogue at times felt very forced and laboured and in some parts downright syrupy and melodramatic. Strangely...
