Epopeya de Gilgamesh

Image
Esta obra la escuche en una clase de Literatura Mundial. Segun expertos es la escritura mas antigua. Por pura y mera curiosidad la empece a buscar en Amazon para ver si era posible comprarlo o no.  Tambien es conocido como el Poema de Gilgamesh es una narración de la Mesopotamia de origen sumerio, considerada como la narración escrita más antigua de la historia. Se emplearon tablillas de arcilla y escritura cuneiforme, lo cual favoreció su preservación. La versión más completa preservada hasta la actualidad consta de doce tablillas. La obra es muy leída en traducciones a diversos idiomas y el héroe, Gilgamesh, ha pasado a ser un icono de la cultura popular. A decir la verdad en lo personal nunca lo habia escuchado mencionado en ningun lado. Es mas que nada habla de mi falta de conocimiento en cultura general, y no un reflejo de la popularidad de la obra en si. El poema trata sobre las aventuras del rey Gilgamesh, también conocido como Istubar, y su amigo Enkidu. Una de ...

Milk And Honey

Image
By Rupi Kaur Genre: Poetry Date first published: Octuber 6th, 2015 My thoughts: So it is divided on 4 parts: HURTING, LOVING, BREAKING and HEALING: For starters you already know that the first part is going to be depressing, I was mentally prepared for that. #1. I dislike sexual content in most things be it in films, movies, shows, writing, whatever. If it isn't consensual; actually be if it doens't go into detail or does little more than a slight reference to it (non-consensual in any way) it still fills me with dread and makes the whole thing uncomfortable to watch or read.  Back to the book. I did not like the way it made me feel. It's not so much as poetry in my opinion but a collection of thoughts that spiral downwards towards darker feelings. That feeling I get I'm not sure if it is the writing style that does not necesarily classify as poetry in my opinion or because of the topics it deals with. It moves from those topics of darkness and unto other th...

Rouge protocol

Image
  Author: Martha Wells Series: The Murderbot Diaries #3 Published date: August 7, 2018 Genre: Sci-Fi Book description (GoodReads): SciFi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is again on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah’s SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good Thoughts: Murderbot is still on the move. After their last mission and with money and a bit of practice the next mission begins. The course is set, and pretending to be human without the help of ART might prove to be more difficult than Murderbot wanted.  Murderbot heads off to Milu, a deserted terraforming facility in space, to investigate the past of a murky group called GrayCris, yes the same group we saw in the first book. It is probably because Murderbot still feels guilty about Dr. Mensah and the other humans that they abandoned. The new crew of h...

The Guest List

Image
Author: Lucy Foley Genre: Mystery/Thriller Original publication date: Book description: Set on a remote island off the Irish coast, this is one guest list no one would want to be on, just as no one would have wanted an invitation to the New Year's Eve party in Foley's previous novel, The Hunting Party. Lives unravel amid the revelry on an eerie and remote island as family and friends assemble for a glam wedding in an updated Murder on the Orient Express. Each of the principal characters has a reason to want one of their number dead, there are old secrets, and one of them is murdered. Thoughts: We follow a few different people, it is set up in two timelines one of them is the day of arriving at the island, some of the guests are invited to stay in the island since the day before the event takes place.  The main character is the bride, as in any wedding. She is a very self-centered and egotistical woman. She is very focused on her image and what the event is going to give her in...

Peter Pan

Image
by J.M. Barrie  First published: 1904 There is no need to discuss the book description because come on people get this references in everywhere books, tv, movies etc. So not knowing the original story is kind of sad for me. I decided to try reading the book and by reading I mean taking advantage of liverbox and its free audiobooks.  I really like the narrator, it's a very reliable and funny narrator because it even talks to you about why we follow either Peter or the lost boys or the other dwellers of the Island of Never Land. I don't know really how to describe but most of the story you already know, it is placed in almost every Peter Pan movie or cartoon but you get a lot of details missing from other works based on it. I read first Peter Pan in Scarlet and did not like it as much but at the time I had nothing concrete to compare it to so it was simply ok and it did not inspire me to look for more than works based on it. I know it isn't the only work based on Pe...
