Please, if curious abt this book, check out @monalyisha ‘s post and comments. I am still wading through the words, like bopping through a slow river of molasses. Yet so intrigued! 💖
La leí hace un mes y todavía sigo recordandola. Es conocida por su estilo reflexivo y filosófico, donde Unamuno aborda temas existenciales como la libertad, la muerte y la búsqueda del sentido de la vida. La obra se desarrolla en un ambiente de incertidumbre y confusión, simbolizado por la “niebla“. Él la define como “nivola“, un género que él inventó, me sorprendió encontrarlo como un personaje. Leí un cuento de G. García M. Parecido.
pickA brief book on the ways to challenge tyranny. Important and timely in the world we currently live in.
No one dies before his time. The time you leave behind was no more yours than that which passed before your birth...wherever your life ends, it is all there. The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.
(from "That to philosophize is to learn to die", Book I, Essay 20)
If I make myself
small enough, maybe they won‘t
notice that I‘m here. 🥀

so-soWritten back in the mid-60‘s during the Cold War era, but still quite relevant today. Quite relevant indeed. It‘s a very short story about how easy it is to mold the thoughts of others, especially from a position of power. The reason I rated it as so-so instead of a pick is simply that it felt too short. Yes, it made its point, but I feel it could have been even more effective had it been fleshed out a bit more.

It‘s almost midnight. Going to clear my head with a a little Langston Hughes poetry before bed.
pickI have finally read this important document that reasoned with colonists to break away from the tyranny of a British king. He used Scriptures and history and just plain common sense to support his claim. I don't understand why I have never been asked to read it, but I thank @Librarybelle for the push. It is very readable and it is still relevant after 250 years.
...and that the elected might never form to themselves an interest separate from the electors,...
