El Clavo , de Pedro Antonio de Alarcon. En esta historia del siglo XIX un estricto juez se ve implicado en un caso judicial, muy a su pesar. Una historia con marcado proposito moral, en blanco y negro. A la figura recta y sin tacha del juez se opone - oh, sorpresa - .... pero eso seria un spoiler...
Ahora en serio, encuentro muy decidor lo que leian nuestros tatarabuelos. (Revision de audio en Librivox)Aventuras de Pinocchio, de Carlo Collodi, traduccion de Antonio Restrepo, 1913. Aunque se le nota el paso del tiempo, esta historia tiene un encanto ingenuo que no cansa. (Revision de audio en Librivox, solo de Victor Villarraza)
Poesias de Jose Batres Montufar (Guatemala). Este poeta fallecio muy joven pero nos dejo excelente muestra de su talento. Destaca su poesia satirica. (Revision de audio en Librivox, solo de Mario Pineda) Muy recomendable!
Now We Are Six, by A.A. Milne. This opportunity to proof listen was a most enjoyable re-encounter with Christopher Robin. Beautiful poems for the little ones. Well, not only for them.
(Librivox solo by Winnifred)To the Lighthouse, by Virginia Woolf. I had wanted to read this book again since forever and was delighted to find two versions in the Librivox catalog (If I understood correctly, they correspond to the British and US editions, differing slightly). I first got acquainted with Virginia Wolf in a Literature course during my first year at university soooo long ago. Her version of the stream of consciousness was an eye opener for me at the time. I absolutely loved listening to this solo by Cori Samuel. (It has just struck me as I write this that it makes total sense to listen to a stream of consciousness book instead of just reading it.)
Trust the Plan, by W. Sommer. In our hyper-interconnected world ideas and beliefs travel and evolve at dazzling speed.
Anyway, books read in September and October:
My goal this year is to read last year's books, the new ones I received, and some others that have been sitting unread on my shelf for far too long.
