here is section 22. An interesting court procedural, unfortunately showing how unfair and corrupt the law often is :( the poor people rarely win against the rich.

That statement sounds like the perennial story of most societies, most of the time.
Thanks for submitting the recording so quickly.

It is not just the monied class but also those that are politically connected and if they have both, the normal person has nary a chance.

This section is also PL OK.

Thanks,

and here is the next section, with another great novel introduced. I am really curious now what the outcome of this quarrel between the proprietors will be...probably very dramatic and tragic.

Sounds to me like an interesting book to read. My Spanish, alas is really rusty.

Well read. This is PL OK.

I am really enjoying these snippets from the different authors. This has been such a wonderful book to listen to.

I could go on with 25. Manuel Sánches Mármol :)

I guess I can leave the page reference "(See p. 148.)" out, as it would not be helpful for readers and is more like a footnote ? :hmm:
