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.

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.

My rating: interesting.

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.
