Intercosteral Nueroliga
TWO OF TWO
The book is divided into two parts: the first part which describes the birth of the friendship between Mario (the narrator) and Guido, during the period of adolescence. The two you guys know the benches of a high school and become very close, creating a really strong bond of friendship. Guido is an extrovert person, love the girls and becomes a model for Mario, who admires him very much, so as to try to get close to him even more. Following Guido decides to leave the high school who can not stand and began to travel the world looking for places, things and people that makes him happy, and never find. This first section ends with the death of his mother's second husband, Mario, leaving his stepson a fair amount of money, with the suggestion of "make something convincing." The second part of the book opens with Mario's decision to leave the university and to make result of the money received as an inheritance, searching for a place away from it all where you can find happiness. So he decides to go live in Gubbio in the Umbrian countryside, where he buys two half-ruined houses. Here begins to work hard to restore the two houses in place with the use of natural materials, without any technology. So slowly manages to renovate the two houses, to build a very solid family and to form an agricultural cooperative, working with natural methods of culture, in a completely self-sufficient. This was while Guy wanders the world in the company of girls are always different, but found no stability, in fact, losing what little he had found. So in fact died in a car accident while he was going to Milan and to the tragic news, Mario firearms are the second house next to his, who had left to welcome Guido, as he wished it.
I really liked the fact that throughout history the roles are reversed, ie: during adolescence and guides the boy with a strong character, who wins every woman who has power and during the debates in the Assembly, a true example Mario, the friend who needs to feel safer, while adult Mario represents stability and happiness that Guido tries around the world, but can never find.
I really like the character of Mario, because growing unable to change completely and he, who as a teenager was not very happy, it becomes really strong, happy and satisfied with life.
OLIVER TWIST
Oliver Twist is the story of an orphan in a home first segregated and then put the beggars to live among thieves and prostitutes. It all starts in a small town in England in the nineteenth century, with a tramp who dies giving birth to a child, whose name will be Oliver Twist. Until the age of nine years, the child remains in the orphanage but the hunger and the constant push him to escape punishment. He arrived in London and is casually acquainted with a young man who takes advantage of his naivety in order to introduce a band of thieves led Fagin the Jew. One day the pickpockets rob an old gentleman, Mr. Bronlow. Oliver runs away in horror, but mistaken for the real thief was arrested. Bronlow the excuse and the host at his house, but the order of Fagin, who was afraid of possible revelations that Oliver could do, two of the gang of robbers take over the boy. So Oliver, again forced a thief, take part in an thievish but the shot goes wrong and Oliver is wounded in the shoulder by a bullet.
Finally, generous and good people can save Oliver, letting him regain his health and a little 'serenity. Meanwhile, the jew is studying a plan to return to Oliver, but one of the gang, which is always been good with Oliver, and reveals the plot for this treachery is killed. The murderess, who was forced into hiding, and is traced while trying to flee remains accidentally hanged. Mr. Bronlow, known how the whole thing, is stop Fagin and his gang. Here are the light of the episodes on the life of Oliver, as the discovery of a brother who was attempting to kill Oliver also to take his share of inheritance. The book ends beautifully, because Oliver, after many years finally manages to be happy, because it is adopted by Bronlow educate him with the affection of a father. This book I liked him enough though Oliver does happen too. It 's a series of misfortunes (of course) end with a happy ending. To me this seems like a story a bit 'too much "built".
THE TIME TO CHANGE
This book is an essay that describes the global situation that we all find ourselves after the rapid changes occurring in the last thirty years. These changes have made the contrasts stand out more, both political and economic such as wealth and poverty, power and lack of power, profit and ethics, law and lawlessness, war and peace, and so on. E 'wing disconcerting to see that end of the twentieth century, the countries with "high income", which has about 15% of world population, controlled 80% of the resources of the globe, while the countries with "low income", with 50% of the total population, had only 5% of world resources. This is just one of many examples that can be found in the book by the author, which arises in the critical position of modernity from the model prevailing in developed countries and seeks to find remedies.
This book seemed heavy in the way of writing. I found it very very difficult to read, in fact I have a bit 'pulled. I think I have enough knowledge sufficient to understand a book like this, because to understand it one must know enough about the topics and I, many things which is the author, I have never even heard of.
