Value Of Ben Ortega Wood Carvings
The soul of the city (Jesus Sanchez Adalid)
At the time of the Reconquista, four men ( gentleman, a businessman, a friar and a priest) that go to the tomb of St. James in Compostela found on the road and decide to walk together the rest of the trip. The long hours go the way of talking about their own lives, except the priest, who reserves his own story. land already in Zamora, it was decided to share with colleagues the details of his eventful life, from his miserable childhood in the circumstances that led him to perform the pilgrimage.

The long hours go the way of talking about their own lives, except the priest, who reserves his own story. After reading the recent "In the Company of the sun", which expected more, I felt like reading this novel to see if in this case Jesus Sanchez Champion getting excited about reading as it did with "The Mozarabic.
I am happy to say that the result has been positive. I liked the novel and see it is worthy of the prize "Fernando Lara" which won in 2007.
The action runs from the XII and XIII in Castilla and is part of the Reconquista sets: progress and setbacks, relations between Christians and Moors, the truce and battles. The protagonist's life serves as the hub to tell the lifestyle of the Spaniards at the time, since the existence of the poorest members of medieval society to the rich and powerful. The eventful life of the main character also contains a teaching about of vanity and success.
Adalid Sanchez gets a robust frame, in which the entire narrative weight rests on the character of the clergy but not get tired at any time, always flanked by different and well-crafted characters throughout the novel. For well-worked, I mean all the characters have great depth, are motivated act sometimes moved by the kindness, others for selfish interests. Are credible and they all really have existed.
The other underlying character throughout the play is (as the title suggests) the City realized in Plasencia or Placencia as it was originally. The author was
notes his "good work" with a close language and correct, while trying not to fall into anachronism. It also shows a vast documentation work with getting a remarkable atmosphere of the day: modes of life, clothing, food, weapons charges, ...
In summary, the book I liked but I still think that "Moorish" is the most rounded of the author.
My Rating: good.

List Of Sutton Spoons
O xardín floating das Pedras (Lourenzo Manuel Gonzalez)
In the seventh century a Benedictine monk on the orders of Pope collected several volumes on the ancient astrological knowledge. After years of searching, finds a mysterious book written in a pre-runic alphabet linking astronomical events with the evolution of different life forms.
years pass and successive generations will cross the path of the mysterious book, from all men and women who are big troubles with the manuscript. In the second half of the twentieth century all the different branches of the descendants of those who owned the book lead to two young men who end up knowing in Pontevedra: Simon and Annabel.
I doubted whether or not this book comment on this blog because it it written in Galician and, to my knowledge, not been published yet in Castilian (the language "that falls into my hands.") However, I decided to comment because I do not doubt that it will be translated and published in Castilian sooner or later.
The novel was awarded the prize for novels in Galician Xerais 2008 and I think deservedly so.
First, thanks a novel that escapes from the topics. Although the main plot itself runs in Galicia, the essence of the story is universal.
Throughout the story, from beginning to end, a series of coincidences leads to Simon and Anabel come to meet, as if a universal plan had been drawn and everything was interconnected millimeter as postulated by the mysterious book. This leads to the first part of the novel becomes quite confusing, as the reader is not able to retain such number of names and personal stories that do not often spend more than a couple of pages. When it comes to the twentieth century, the reader mix names, families and stories. Fortunately, you get to the heart of the book, where Simon tells the personal story from his own first-person view.
portion of the protagonist's childhood is the most endearing, and came to move me at various times, especially its relationship with the man of the people "or fields." Child's questions about why all and can only answer his friend, a fellow of the village where his mother taught, I found the best of the book.
Then comes the strange friendship with Anabel, as a teenager, and a dramatic twist in the plot and an ending that explains everything from another point of view and close the narrative.
The language is simple and accessible, though perhaps too "academic" no doubt reflects the author's professional activities.
Ultimately, the novel has surprised me and I liked it. I found reflections of Garcia Marquez, Poe, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, ... and I think the author has produced a work more than worthy.
My Rating: good.

Create Your Own Game Like Poptropica
In the company of the sun (Jesus Sanchez Adalid)
French Xavier is the youngest son of a noble family with nobility in Navarre in the early decades of the sixteenth century. After the invasion the kingdom by the Castilian, his older brothers fighting for the pretender to the throne of Navarre, as the estate of Xavier fell inexorably.
With the few resources that still maintains the family, sends the young French to study in Paris where he will contact students from various countries and new ideas .
is my second book Adalid Sanchez and I can only describe this novel as a minor work and rather disappointing for me, does not reach anywhere near the level of "Moorish" (which I liked).
"In the Company of the sun" is intended to be a fictionalized version of life (or a fraction thereof) of San Francisco Javier. However, during the first part of the novel progresses only on the vicissitudes through which it passes the estate of Xavier and Francisco youth in Paris, where nothing we glimpse of the future sanctity of character.
After the first half of the book, so abruptly, many years passed and Francis spends a fun-loving young and mature a Jesuit ascetic without giving more explanation than a few pages in which the character narrates in first person how to produce his unexpected conversion.
It seems that finally we will see San Francisco Javier in all its fullness, but little deeper into the character until the end of the book. Once finished, the holy remains almost unknown to me. With this reading I know now a series of data on this special mission, but the work has given me much either as novel or as a historical biography.
However, Sanchez Adalid handles well the historical setting and a correct style is advanced in the pages without the novel gets bored.
My rating: interesting.

Córdoba Mosque Cathedral of Cordoba
Here I show an image autumn view of the Great Mosque of Cordoba Cathedral from Calle Cardenal Herrero. I used the HDR technique from a single raw image that has removed five versions jpg to 1 EV under / over exposure to the Camera Raw and then I have mapped with Photomatix Pro 3. I know I have not yet very refined control of this technique (sorry for the technical defects) but even so, I love the results.

Alexis Texas Vs Black Guy
most wanted man (John Le Carré)
Muslim man A mysterious newcomer to Germany illegally is hosted by a Turkish family who lives in Hamburg. The man is young but is sick and, despite living in poverty, carries a lot of money and is engaged in contact with a banker named Brue. Soon intelligence services of different countries are interested in the case because they suspect that may be involved in a network of international terrorism.

Soon intelligence services of different countries are interested in the case because they suspect that may be involved in a network of international terrorism. is the first novel I read Le Carré (although I have seen the film adaptation of "The Constant Gardener") but I had an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to expect: a novel of conspiracy, spies and dark frames.
can see that the author has much trade in the genre: bestseller typical structure with three intertwined plots, chapters millimeter distributed, no more than three or four pages without a break. But the beginning is quite slow, over many pages is only a sketch of the situation and when the reader is introduced to German intelligence services made me a little boring.
The initial players in the middle of the book have changed, giving great weight to the banker and the lawyer's "most wanted man." However, little by little, the role of intelligence is more important the plot until the end all the other characters look like puppets of higher powers competing with each other.
not an issue that attracts me especially the extreme Islamist plots nor how to operate the secret services, but the book can be read without a thrill I arrived.
Perhaps the most attractive character and working experience of the banker: the last of a dynasty is extinguished, with house, car, conventional habits of rich but authentic looking and feeling hypocritical out of the cycle has been a constant in his life.
The end I liked it, but finished a somewhat abrupt.

Mulit Vitamin Face Cream India
The Imaginary Invalid (Molière)
Argan is a man of gentry who lives haunted by his ailments. Therefore has an absolute dependence of the suspects remedies that your doctor Purgon prescibe including lots of bloodletting and purging (which are charged at a good price).
Such is the determination of their alleged illnesses Argan plans to marry his daughter Diafoirus, a doctor, and so have constant care at home. However, she is in love with Cleanthes and his maid Toinette devise a plan to disabuse his father and make him see that unscrupulous doctors just want to get the money.
A classic theater and literature. It is a comic play, easy to read, accessible worldwide. Contains a fierce critique of hypocrisy, false appearances and relationships of convenience. But it is a bitter criticism, but fun, where in one scene is shaping each character perfectly. Argan
awakens compassion (for the suffering and so take advantage of it) while contempt (by the cheapness of using his daughter's marriage to their benefit).
Molière is particularly ruthless with doctors at the time, as a class that lives on a pedestal, where there are many stupid people who do not know what they do and who only seek prestige and enrichment. Purgon appears little in the work but has no waste: when he discovers that they are throwing their potions, gets angry and predicts the death of his patient as a conviction for not following his advice.
not a work for the elite, but for the people, without losing a technique of scene and a clean structure.
I'd like to see represented, sure to be a good time.
My rating: very good.

New Stove With Intallation Of Granite Countertop
The Zahir (Paulo Coelho)
Esther, a war correspondent and wife of a famous writer, disappears without a trace. Marriage has been moving away after the famous writer hiciese gradually concern of the journalist grows to the point that no one returns from their perilous journeys.
The writer is aware that probably you have not experienced anything bad to his wife, alleged to have decided to change his life and has left him without the slightest departure. As time passes, the writer tries to rebuild her life, but the memory of Esther whenever occupies more space in your mind to become an obsession.

As time passes, the writer tries to rebuild her life, but the memory of Esther whenever occupies more space in your mind to become an obsession.
The last book I read by Coelho did not leave me too much good taste ("The Witch of Portobello", commented in this blog), so "The Zahir" remained on the shelf waiting to be read during months. He was reading "The Aleph" Borges (also discussed in this blog) which reawakened my interest in addressing reading this book. In the story of the same name Borges explained that a zahir is an object, place or person that may seem trivial but is slowly occupying more space in the mind of a person until he covers all his thoughts, is a kind of obsession that prevents the subject focus on anything other than "the zahir".
in Coelho's book, "the zahir" is his wife, which was a disappointment for me: in the Borges story implied that usually an irrelevant startup object for the life of the sufferer. From this point view Borges Coelho and perverts the idea that the obsession with a missing wife is a common reaction completely understandable.
The first part of the book seemed slow, very lack of pace. He gave me the impression that reading a set of autobiographical texts where the author presents an aspect of his view of life. The similarities between the life of the writer protagonist Coelho and beyond his profession: youth of success as a songwriter, later stage of lawlessness and loss of direction, mystical journey to Santiago de Compostela and start as a writer narrating their experiences in his pilgrimage ...

As I said in my review of "The Witch Portobello, Coelho wrote his books around a central idea repeated over and over again like a mantra, sometimes the stories seem a mere excuse to spread the message. In this work, the message is a reflection on love in family : love relationships, after a phase of initial passion stabilize, are accommodated to the extent that the couple united by continuous simple inertia or because it is the easiest way.
I must admit that in the first part, the book I bored enough. In the second, the narrative is encouraging and ends with good (and even funny) final chapters.
What I liked was a secondary message (because in the main, love, do not share the views of the author): the cynical view of the writer on the success, awards, social gatherings, interviews where questions and answers are always the same.

The Sound and the Fury (William Faulkner)
" Caddy is gone is gone home from our house is not stable've tried to see the barn from
fault was she pushed me she has escaped
you look as if I can I can Oh
blood or my blood Oh
continue walking on the fine dust, fine dust from our feet silent as rubber where the trees hung sunlight pencils "
How does this work has been published? What editor would not read five pages and throw to trash the original? How have given the Nobel for literature to Faulkner? Why it is considered "the sound and fury" as one of the finest works of American literature and even one of the best English-language novels of all time? I only
explained by the snobbery, arrogance and vanity of writers and critics. After my feat of finishing the work, had two choices: or show off my vast culture, my experience and maturity as a player, boast of having enjoyed reading the great, immense, incredible Faulkner or be honest with myself and recognize I think a huge ... snafu.
A device to satisfy the ego of the author, most audacious novel, without a timeline, no spatial order, connected to Sheakespeare with interior monologues Joyce laugh from all points of view ... a vagary without interest, over a decadent and degenerate family.
I recommend leaving this book on the shelf indefinitely won dust and read anything else, except for readers especially masochistic or philology students whose reading depends on a pass.
My Rating: illegible.

blood or my blood Oh
continue walking on the fine dust, fine dust from our feet silent as rubber where the trees hung sunlight pencils "
I have not found a better introduction to this book serves as a fragment that shows the true martyrdom for which I spent to get finished. If anything has made this reading is an example of what should NOT be the literature: elitist, parochial, twisted and vain.
me explain. I started looking forward to reading, but after the first few pages had only one thing clear: that I learned nothing of what was being told. My hypothesis was that the story was told in first person by Benjy, a two or three years. About twenty pages later I discovered I was wrong, because apparently the "protagonist" met thirties. Could only be retarded.
I endured stoically throughout the first part (ninety pages) with the hope that the second should explain something. And indeed changed ... for the worse. Instead of the experiences of a now delayed recounted a day in the life of his brother Quentin, much more intelligent (Harvard student) but with a serious mental disorder. The passage I have set an example belongs to this section of the book and will serve as proof that what I say is true. Are the most insufferable pages read, I often wondered what am I doing wasting time reading this? Disjointed sentences in a vague Quentin day without a clear objective, memories without dots or commas, constant in the spatial and temporal. I must admit that I was about to give up many times and only got to go based on self-esteem and critical thinking about the future than it did on this blog.
At two hundred! comes the third part pages. Another brother in first person, a gem too: misogynist, racist and ultra-conservative but at least you find out what it does and more or less what it does.
Faulkner In the last part takes over as narrator and the novel ends with an alleged "climax" that did nothing to disappoint for the umpteenth time.
In the appendix, the author clarifies the role of each of the characters. Faulkner felt like laughing at me, amazing his audacity: it keeps the reader been tortured for three hundred fifty pages to explain to his humble intellect incomprehensible speech in a few paragraphs. me explain.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (JK Rowling)
Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters are becoming the power within the magic community, as Harry Potter expects the few days left to meet the seventeen years under the aegis of strong spells protectors of the Order of the Phoenix. A Harry comes of age and can use magic without restrictions and may engage in body and soul to fulfill the risky mission for Dumbledore, accompanied only by his inseparable friends Ron and Hermione.
Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters are becoming the power within the magic community, as Harry Potter expects the few days left to meet the seventeen years under the aegis of strong spells protectors of the Order of the Phoenix. A Harry comes of age and can use magic without restrictions and may engage in body and soul to fulfill the risky mission for Dumbledore, accompanied only by his inseparable friends Ron and Hermione. I finally finished the Harry Potter saga, I will take the comments of this last book to explain my opinion about the whole series. How
JK Rowling has managed to create a global success? Has collected a series of conventions of stories about wizards such as wands, potions, spell books, robes, flying brooms, etc., and they have added a series of own contributions (the magical sport Quidditch, the government hidden from the Ministry of Magic, the school Hogwarts magic, magic of Gringotts bank ...). All coalesce in a universe with an internal logic that includes a terminology (words like muggle, Snitch, Parseltongue, squib or Death Eater), so you get a sense of reality, an alternative explanation of the world. Of particular merit
achieve all this in books originally designed for children, but that at no time are sappy and childish, it is the reader as an intelligent interlocutor. The force of the narrative structure, the complexity of the characters and the magical world wealth has enabled the series to become one of the best-selling history and we are legion fans (including children, adolescents and adults).
The way of introducing the reader in this universe is masterful: Harry, an orphan raised in a cruel manner by their uncles (very good the first part of each book, dedicated to Harry's Muggle family, a term that appeared increasingly were less important) one day discovers that his eccentricities are not anything negative, rather the opposite: the gift of magic.
Hogwarts school in the reader learns spells while Harry (these are made in Latin, which increases the feeling of reality), this whole magical world responds to an internal logic. All readers we know that means "Expelliarmus" or "patronus" or the fateful curse "Avada Kedavra."
Taking stock of all books, perhaps the most I liked is the third "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." As for characters, I must admit my weakness for the enigmatic Professor Severus Snape, although I have to appoint Dolores Umbridge exasperating. Precisely
Harry is not the character that attracts me is someone who has suffered a lot but sometimes seems beyond good and evil. The same goes for Dumbledore, it seems that is never wrong, but rarely directly involved in the action (in my opinion is not comparable to Gandalf Tolkien). In his inseparable friends, Ron looks like a disaster as a magician and a little self-conscious among many brothers but it shows again and again that it is capable of much more. As for Hermione, the witch is actually more capable in his class despite being the daughter of muggles (a "dirty blood" as they say Voldemort's followers), but does not hesitate to risk his impressive record for helping his friends. That seems to me the main value shown in this saga: the value of love and friendship on the purity of blood and power.
The supervillain, Voldemort, starts off as a distant entity, a symbol of evil, but as you progress through the books becomes more palpable presence and will know the complexity of the character of how a family member of a miserable, Tom Riddle, has just become the greatest magician in the Dark Arts of all time. Speaking
and this latest book, is not the brightest of the series. It is more an end of the saga than a novel itself. The end of the sixth book makes it impossible to continue the weight of the action in the main frame of the novels: the Hogwarts school. It is a dark novel, begins with a continuous flight as Voldemort's followers are becoming power in the wizarding world. It is curious to see how Harry, to defend against evil forces, sometimes using their own weapons: the unforgivable curses "cruciatus" e "Imperius.
The end I found very good, and to some extent, the only possibility.
My Rating: either

Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos
This image of the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos took it 20 years ago with my wonderful Yashica Mat 124G, a camera type Rollei medium format (6X6) who gave me all kinds of satisfactions and now I'm starting to reuse. The other day I scanned the slide with the HP Scanjet G4050 from my good friend Eduardo Agüera, and this is the result without forcing a lot (scanned at 600 dpi and can do up to 9600 dpi). The color and detail of traditional slide is not comparable to any image digital, at least for my taste.

El Aleph (Jorge Luis Borges)
In a copy of the Iliad of Pope, who came from an antique dealer named Cartaphilus, it discovered a strange manuscript which tells a strange story Told in first person by an ancient Roman than a day is dying in Egypt with a rider from the east. Before dying, she explains that seeks immortality river on whose banks stands the City of the Immortals.

Before dying, she explains that seeks immortality river on whose banks stands the City of the Immortals. The Roman meets two hundred soldiers and set off on the arduous search of the river and city immortal ...
The Aleph is a book of short stories, some as telegraph, which shows that it is possible to have a lot in very few lines. Borges's style is impeccable, a record written in easy to read cult but a few lines makes superb descriptions that say it all.
The subject matter is varied, but most of the stories have a historical background (from antiquity to the recent past). Numerous references also symbolic or esoteric about universal themes: immortality, rebellion, pride, suffering, obsessions ...
Perhaps most famous stories are the ones to initiate and close the book: immortality and the Aleph. I have really enjoyed both, but however, has impressed me most is "The writing of God" where pre-Columbian remains a priest in a dark dungeon without hope that his jailer (the English conquistador Alvarado) have mercy on him and comes to free some day. His only contact with the outside world is the light coming through the hatch by feeding it once a day, takes time to see a jaguar with which it shares room, separated by a wall. Spend hours days, years or decades to decipher the language in which God has inscribed the secrets of the universe and whose symbols are articulated in the spots of the jaguar.
Many of the stories I was left feeling that after a few lines, there is a hidden message or the author meant to convey an important idea, but often I fail to grasp. (You may need many more readings to capture the fullness of the work of Borges).
My rating: very good.

Ronda is a beautiful and historic city located in the northwestern province of Malaga. Among its monuments include the oldest bullring and one of the most monumental of Spain. It was inaugurated in 1785 with a bullfight fought by Pedro Romero and Pepe Illo.

This series of images may be the best way to describe the sensations caused by the sea in one of the interior, especially on a rainy spring afternoon, when even the sea has not been invaded by the legions of tourists eager to Sol, and only some are close to the beach to play sports, walk or just thinking.

Where Did Term Bravo Zulu Come From
Dedicated to José Carlos Muñoz
These photos of the Patio de los Naranjos, the northern facade of the Mosque, Cathedral, Comedy and Street Qayrawan street I dedicate to my friend José Carlos Muñoz, of which I am apprentice blogger and a great admirer of his art photography. I recommend his blog http://www.jocamuga.blogspot.com/ . This series is made with Sigma 10-20 lens, which, no doubt, he brings much more performance than a server.
