The Family of Pascual Duarte
The Family of Pascual Duarte | Camilo José Cela, Anthony Kerrigan

This book reflects the crude reality of rural Spain in Franco's time. It is full of human power and rich in social insight. Cela writes with great detail, but still maintains simplicity.

Mehso-so

Pascual Duarte is a murderer, at least twice over, and probably more. This is his attempt to force the reader to feel sympathy, by confessing, but making the murders sound "natural". It didn't work. He was executed before he could finish writing his pile of..yeah. The writing was amazing, but I really need to read a book with puppies and rainbows now. #readaroundtheworld #spain @JenP (Please sign me up for the Don Quixote!) ?

Misterios de la manera de ser de los mortales que tanto aborrecen de lo que tienen para después echarlo de menos!

The Family of Pascual Duarte | Camilo José Cela, Anthony Kerrigan

Los mismos cueros tenemos todos los mortales al nacer y sin embargo, cuando vamos creciendo, el destino se complace en variarnos como si fuésemos de cera y en destinarnos por sendas diferentes al mismo fin: la muerte.
