Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator / Roald Dahl

The last time I had seen the young Charlie was in a glass elevator that had just come out fired up to heaven after completing a visit to the chocolate factory. In this sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Mr. Willy Wonka deschabetado still as in the previous book and Grandma Josephine, and George Georgiga acids are just picky as many old world and Charlie, abuejo Joe and Mr. and Mrs. Burke are just as smart, brave and skeptical as in the previous book. I like the sequels, no doubt. Best of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is that in many ways extends the fantasy world of the chocolate factory and outside it. Let's a quick trip to the space where Charlie and company, in the glass elevator, defend a space capsule from the attack of Knidos Vermiciosos, beings elongated, green with red eyes and pointy tails and end again in the mysteries of factory (ooompa Loompas included with songs) with an unexpected adventure that rejuvenates and aging grandparents. Mines appear caramel and chocolate wells and the land of Menoslandia. And everywhere is the sound roaldiana imagination with unexpected events reported with the least embarrassment, while one has to "rejuvenate" with reading, fighting against the "old" readers that uneducated in the faculties of philosophy and letters. Unique and robust young adult novel. Do not stop reading it.

The art of Julio Torri / Serge I.

For some reason, since I bought the book, some two years, felt he owed a debt to him. I saw it on my bookshelf and my hand and went to him when he looked distracted and take any other issue of course, did not end. But today I could finally read The art of Julio Torri , a singular critical work on one of the writers of that lost generation that suffered the revolution and whose most precious children settled abroad and Vasconcelos, Reyes, Martin Luis Guzman and Pedro Henríquez Ureña. However Torri ran and how well it shows the relationship of letters at the end of the book, had to survive everything and anything, while creating an ideology of brevity as a literary genre. Serge Zaïtzeff crumbles clearly the work of this author Coahuila, as part of the genesis of the short text, as it relates to Torri and puts the saga of much of the brief work later wrote Arreola, Monterroso and Borges. At the end comes a review the work of Mariano Silva and a fun text on the destruction of the city of Mexico. The book gives another kind of light, showing an ideology about literature, friendship, honor and even the misogyny of Torri in his texts, this Torri who bicycled, which was spicy and above all loving relationships, which had in its library missed the chat and Reyes Ureña, which in short is also difficult to find nowadays: good lecturers. It is not sure about anything, it, to approach the man as played in our days in the Inland prize.

Zaïtzeff Flying solo / Roald Dahl

I have a passion planes and war artifacts, but nothing more as I like reading biographies or in this case, autobiographies. Going Solo are the memories of Roald Dahl during his time as an RAF pilot in the Greek theater and later Syria. We face a somewhat romantic vision and a little hiperrrealista man for whom the war was finally made practical, as stated in the following lines "The survival was not so one fight more. I began to realize that the only way behave in a situation in which rained bombs and bullets went whistling, was to accept the dangers and all its consequences as calmly as possible. Distressed and desperate for it was useless. "Viewed from this perspective, the chronicles that Dahl makes his years as a pilot is not only raw but sensitive at a time. Recounts fly low over the prairie, while fleeing the One-Zero-Nine, and manages to see a goat, tells a funny scene about a lion who stole a woman, carrying in its mouth for more than two hundred meters and above all, the work breathes in deep love of a child by his mother, seen from the constant Dahl sent letters to his mother from the various battlefields. The descriptions of the air battles that held are disturbing, as the brief depiction of the Battle of Athens, where the last 15 hurricanes Greece beat defending more than 200 Meschermints 109 and 11th. And Dahl also speaks in the book, to love, aircraft, old Gladiator, the Tiger Moth and reliable terrible Ju 88 bombers. Amid all this paraphernalia of war, however, it is possible to find some stories that would give rise to scenes and stories of his future books. Read Going Solo daily is like entering a friend's friend would not free from controversy in his life, a journal that we are surprised by its simplicity and warmth.
