Hi bloggers!
Today’s topic is about my favourite book!
Well, this
is a hard topic for me because being honest I usually don’t read books so I’m going
to talk you about one of the few books I’ve read that I really liked.
“Los trenes se van al purgatorio” (The trains
go to purgatory) of
the Chilean writer Hernán Rivera Letelier.
This book
gathers the different stories of the passengers of the train. When you read
this book you travel to the north of Chile, to the Pampa where the miners used
to dig out the saltpeter. The essence of these stories is a reflection of the
society of those days.
The story
is involved in a mysterious atmosphere that the desert of Atacama provides.
When the
reader approaches to the end of the book feels astonished because he realized that
all the characters are death since a lot of time ago and that the train
represents the purgatory where their souls are.
Hernán
Rivera Letelier has a singular way of relate so he became one of my favourites
writers.
I hope you
may be interested of reading this book or about this writer because I can guaranteed
you that you are going to love it.
