One of my favorite books


This time I want to talk about the last book I read this year,, and became to one my favorite. I mean "The Private life of the Trees" by Alejandro Zambra, this is not one of my favorite books, but it is one of the most beautiful I have ever read, the way to describe things is captivating.

In private life of trees Julian (the protagonist of the story) awaits Veronica (his wife) while Daniela are sleeping, her daughter. The novel part with that night waking. One hopes that opens abysses of concerns, the night progresses and Veronica don't arrive. To reassure the girl, Julian tells a story of private life of the trees, where they come to life and are the protagonists. But Veronica does not arrive. What will happen with Daniela?, what will happen when she have twenty?, thirty years?. What are the love stories that she will live?, is what Julian begins to imagine. And  the book progresses. And we don'tknow what happened to Veronica.

 

Zambra develops a complex and fine writing, with small everyday stories that roam common life. As Zambra himself says: "The Chilean narrators write for inside, as if the novel was, in reality, the echo of a poem long repressed". In his prose there is a lot of poetry, but that numbed by reality. The main characters are clearly self-references: students and teachers of literature. He worries about deploying spaces with few words, his books do not exceed 120 pages

Hello everybody today im  going to talk about one of the most enigmatic  moment of the day , I mean the “blue hour”, in english its known like “the Golden hour”  or ”the magic hour”. The last name can be given for the spectacular of this momento.

This moment  happent  the previous hour to the sun came, and the hour the sun goes down,  and only during for a fiew minutes. This event is characteized for his particular kind of light. For example , during this time the natural  light is so vague, this cause an high ilumination of all, an the color of the sky is all similar.

For another part  the  fact that to being  the crossing to the day at night make it enigmatic and covered all in a misterious  way, the places and things seem to wake somethig. And is like the momento after the great event, like something was wrong. For example in literature this moment  always be asociate to bad staff, like death an dark magic.
 

This hour is my favorite momento for this reason, for the way that all seems like awake. And becoause i alway have insomnia, and is recurrent to me see it.
