À quoi sert le Discours de los angeles méthode devant l. a. tristesse qu'éveille l. a. mort annoncée d'un mother or father ? Que valent les pensées les plus distinguées, les spéculations les plus audacieuses, si elles demeurent éloignées de los angeles vie ordinaire des hommes ?

Telles sont les questions que le narrateur, en cost d'une mère dont le corps et l'esprit peu à peu se dégradent, pose directement à René Descartes, enjambant d'une seule foulée les quatre siècles qui le séparent du grand homme.

Ne trouvant nul secours dans les traités du philosophe qu'il apostrophe et morigène, ne sachant se défendre de l'angoisse que lui encourage le vieillissement maternel, il finit par consulter, non sans défiance, l'extravagante et très peu cartésienne Mila.

C'est elle qui, par des voies que nous ne dirons pas, saura l'initier à l'amour (ce jeu où l'on perd quand on gagne), lui transmettre son goût des fables (qui disent l. a. vérité illogique et furtive des choses) et l'amener à s'orienter dans le brouillard sans trop le craindre.

Avec une allégresse ravageuse, Lydie Salvayre réhabilite l. a. technological know-how du cœur.

Entre las barracas y juegos del Parque de diversión se cruzan los alumnos de l. a. Escuela del Miedo, el maestro Zorroarín, l. a. bella Lisa, destinada a los hombres solitarios, Ezpeleta el inventor, el contador de historias Beauconseil y los inolvidables Carlino y Gioconda.

El Parque funda un territorio mítico, que se enciende al caer los angeles noche y donde los personajes acometen delirantes empres as sin saber que los espera un insospechado destino común. El Laberinto del Terror, l. a. Rueda de l. a. Fortuna, el Dancing Park ocultan un misterio al que sólo accederán los iniciados cuyo guía es el inescrutable Zorroarín.

Cercano a los registros de l. a. narrativa de Marechal y del humor absurdo de Gombrowicz, reivindica para nuestra literatura los angeles parodia, lo poético y el kitch.

La crítica ha dicho...

«Sylvia Iparraguirre ha escrito una novela hermosa, compleja, imaginativa y de mucho humor. Obra, ésta, entretenidísima, y de varias lecturas. Es un libro extraño, porque pese a que obliga al análisis se lee con rapidez: ¡que alguien explique este milagro de amenidad!»

This number of tales approximately love and privateness is critical, humorous, gentle, and alive with the splendor and spirit that symbolize Laurie Colwin's paintings. In those tales, the reader strikes between younger women and men: pianists, historians, publication illustrators, architects; ladies who're composed and inimitably sassy; and males who're magnetic, adventurous in love, or fiendishly elusive. they're people who find themselves experiencing, frequently for the 1st time, the beginning, enriching, and maddening issues of grownup lifestyles.
