The amazing journey of Pomponio Flato I just finished reading the book I got for Sant Jordi,
The amazing journey of Pomponio Flato Eduardo Mendoza. I was very satisfied.
Since it went on sale would put an eye on, and a kind soul came to me and gave it to me last week: P. It must be said that that night I started to read no matter that it went from 12 at night. The reason for this publication is not revealing the plot of the book, just give my opinion on it.
At first I struggled a bit to get into the story, mostly because the vocabulary used sometimes, is very peculiar, but it is the grace of the book. But as you progress through the story you get used to read it as is, so you end up doing a short and easy reading.
The plot is fine, yet the irony and mystery have always surrounded this author's books are clear players again, by not losing the essence of classics like
The mystery of the haunted crypt (1979). The story, which is set in the first century AD, is a parody on the whole content of the novels of historical, religious police and ends up looking like a very interesting mix.
Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus are also players in this amazing book filled with content a bit philosophical, but also, by contrast, religious.
I recommend, not only the plot but also by the clever humor and get the author contrasts between characters i places. Pomponio
Poor ...
NOTE: Overall, if you decide to take a look, read up the comments of the final pages ... more nothing to kill the curiosity of all the old stories that are discussed throughout the book.
... Maybe the famous fountain that give knowledge and shorten the life was just a poetic way of describing the love ...
