Today, we answer a question that assails all readers: Is it possible to put a picture of a kitten with each book entry and not repeated?
in this blog are like the postman, but rain, snow or shine, reading is a vice that is not abandoned. Another thing is to respect the order that they had thought about books yet, because, although the former had thought myself meme with the adventures of Le Bossu, I decided to go back to science fiction (and translations into Castilian) before to continue with the cape and sword, fair and equal choice to launch a random 20-sided die to decide which book to start first.
"Stop the monkey," he said as a child.
Pierre Boulle. Planet of the Apes. More than the book, the monkeys are known a lot thanks to Charlton Heston movie and a little less thanks to the one that shot Cosic Tim Burton. The argument is well aware: an astronaut arrives on a planet inhabited by intelligent apes human and feral, who take the watchman's whistle ... and this is the only point of agreement between both versions, because the book is less cienciaficcionero Boulle , closer to the adventure and ... why deny it, more French. And that is the way of narrating, ignoring scientific references ("at that time, space travel were the most common), or exaggerating a pair of astronomical references (as a small lecture information on Betelgeuse) is much closer to Verne than science fiction of the time. MONIL civilization is the equivalent of the sixties of the earth, so you see a lot of orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees dressed in suit and tie is much more comical than the brown suit Doctor Zaius we remember in the movie , not to say that the findings of leading the similarities between the two species are quite funny, and the baba bad when explaining the reason for this evolutionary change. Not much more to say about this book, except that for many we saw The Informal at the time, reminds us that:
same I'm reading I
Isaac Asimov. The Naked Sun. In Asimov just knew it was a science fiction author who sold a lot for years (more or less, at the time that Stephen King started corduroy in Plaza y Janes), who had a lot of books about the Foundation had invented the laws of robotics and for counting. I do not appeal to me much because the robots are a bit like me (where a good pair of Triffids, which are removed cans), except for the Metropolis, because that is sacred. I started reading this Naked Sun to be among several that I borrowed and slightly increase that of popular culture. I started to read without knowing the plot, nor the date, or whether it belonged to one series, and when you get to read to the blind, the book in question may like or dislike. Luckily, this corresponds to the first option: set in a world in which a part of humans have conquered space and developed the robot, while another is stuck in the land, living in cities and still high kilometric despised by the former, a detective must travel to land one of those planets to solve a murder thing will be complicated when the customs and culture are completely opposite. In short, this is a detective story situated in space and robots, but it develops the same way that it could include for example, a novel about an African detective should go to imperial Britain to solve a crime. With this comparison, it is not highly original, but is written with enough agility and is entertaining. In addition, one of the things that characterizes the book is the absence of criticism toward both planets, and a very little pessimistic of these: if isolation is a form of habitual behavior on Earth are unable to stand outside due to their confinement in the cities ... details presented in an objective, but the story is in first person and the protagonist, as well as surprised at this, must face the rejection of the suspects as human germ carrier.
is probably the next Fahrenheit 451, which is very short and ends in an afternoon, and if not, as my people say: God will say tomorrow.
