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.


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.
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.

April Sunset

say every sunset is different: the sky, the reflected light of the sun to go over the horizon on the facades of buildings, on the glassy surface of the river water in the slender towers of the temples, in the faces of men ...
