La máquina de ajedrez (Robert Löhr)

Kempelen, a senior official of the Austro-Hungarian court of the mid eighteenth century, is committed to the empress herself in six months will be able to create a marvelous machine that will amaze everyone.
The machine in question is an automaton that played chess in a masterly way, supposedly without any human intervention that winding the clockwork.

Fiction based on historical fact, the Kempelen automaton survived its creator and came to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte. This is the first work of Löhr and the proof is that his prose lacks sufficient maturity. The book is very well documented and well structured, but lacks pace. Also starting at the end and takes away a lot of excitement to the rest of the story. The secrets of the machine is discovered too soon and many of the pages become repetitive and even, at times, tedious. It made me not too long and gets trapped Löhr in history. It is true that the characters are worked and are credible, but this is not: the plot has become bored.
The best of the book is final (thank goodness), it has the dose of emotion from which no development of the novel and the characters bring out the best and worst of themselves. At the end of the story you would have left with the question of whether the characters were real or not, but for the author's epilogue that reveals what parts and what the invented history.

My rating: interesting.

Cien años de soledad (Gabriel García Márquez)

Facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia, instigator of yet another uprising against the government, remember the day when the gypsies came to town, Macondo, as a child. His father was delivered with great devotion to the demonstrations of his inventions was the gypsy Melquiades, who was a true scholar.

Since that day, Macondo has grown from a group of huts of villagers to have a considerable population, and electric light rail line under the influence of the important Buendia family.

When this novel was forty years since its first issue I told myself I had to read it soon. In print and television bombard us with news of the anniversary of one of the best English-language novels of all time. Until then knew little of the argument, and the title simply does not call me: that a hundred years of solitude sounded slow, very slow.

So many years of studying language and literature at school and high school and I did not know more than the name of the author of this famous novel, I have little to say about a "momentous" education system where we came rarely to the generation of 27 .

first thing that struck me was the simplicity of language and how fast the author gets you into Macondo, no need to dwell on long descriptions. With a few pages and you are within the Buendia family of the nineteenth century, sometimes the problem was be the opposite: not getting lost in a cloud of Aureliano, José Arcadio, and Amaranta Úrsulas. From when it comes to the third generation of the Buendía family is very easy to confuse parents with children, grandchildren or nephews so I would recommend to any new reader to make a small sketch to the family tree because the book covers one hundred years the life of Macondo and no less than seven generations Buendía.

The novel seemed to me a very good taking into account their structure, their language and how the story is making then resealed masterfully. With a few phrases defined to any of the many characters better than others in a hundred pages.

However, all you have to put a "but." When I finished the book I left a good taste, however I must admit that I came to enthusiasm: I've lost hours of sleep to read a little more, and I spent the whole day thinking about the story. Perhaps because of the subject, the Colombia between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, or the lack of a clear pattern beyond the life of the family and all Macondo, but has not come to arouse my curiosity than to read something well written or see to what ends so well woven story.

Ultimately, some will like more and others less, but recommended.

My rating: very good
