This characterized for have magic and acts supernatural or illogic on actual world. So normally have some characters such as fairies, elves, mermaids, etc . A great example for understand what I say, is the Lord of de rings.The book describes places with so much characteristics and elements and you can imagine all that and feel as if you were there. I think that is one of the reasons of you can’t stop reading still you finished it. Also I like
the magical realism. A big reference of this is “Cien años de soledad” of
Gabriel García Márquez, and this book is one of my favorite. Some people think
that his history is difficult to understand for the big family tree and all of
them have the similar names, so yeah is confuse, but on that is the beauty of
this book, because show the complexity and depth of the individuality of man making no character resembles another.
Besides it emphasize on identity, heritage and feeling of belong.
Now I want
to read “King Kong theory” of Virginie Despentes, but I can’t found it anywhere
This book belies the myth of woman submissive that the society tries to
impose, deposes taboos and demystifies the supposed ideal of perfect woman,
talking about how is the change of transformation of old model of gender and
sexuality.
that´s a nice appreciation of "cien años de soledad" ^^
ReplyDeleteI also read "Cien Años de Soledad", but for high school, anyway I found it a very interesting book. Regarding the book that you still can't find "King Kong Theory" sounds like a great plot,I hope to read it too!!
