El restaurante del fin del mundo de Douglas Adams

Publicado por el
Segunda parte de esta saga escrita por Douglas Adams. La primera se llama "Guía del autoestopista galáctico" y pueden encontrar su reseña aquí en el blog . Aquí vamos a ver qué sucedió después de que el pobre Arthur Dent se quedara sin su planeta y volveremos a tocar el tema de la respuesta acerca de la vida, qué significaba ese numero 42. En si, ambos libros, vienen siendo una locura hermosa. es de esas novelas que te hacen reír mientras te recuerdan que el universo es un desastre absoluto, que nada tiene sentido, y que igual seguimos adelante porque, buen… ya estamos acá. Arthur debe aprender a lidiar y a vivir en realidad, en el espacio, a bordo de naves, viajando junto a sus nuevos amigos extraterrestres, y junto a otro humano que también se salvó de la destrucción de la tierra.

Review: The bottle imp by Robert Louis Stevenson

Publicado por el

Previously by Stevenson I had read "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" Reading which by the way, I quite liked.

In this case I want to tell you about "The bottle imp".

The story is about Keawe, who meets a man who is very sad. Apparently this second guy has everything he has ever wanted, but he still looks very sad.

Our protagonist learns that the sad man has a bottle that contains the devil himself inside it, and that if you make wishes, he fulfills them, and even got the beautiful house where he lives thanks to it.

But having this bottle also has consequences. To get rid of it you must follow certain rules.

You can only get rid of the bottle by selling it, and always at a lower price than you paid for it.

So there will come a time when the price can no longer be lowered and someone will keep it for life.

And that person will suffer the worst tortures imaginable.

The story is told as if it were a children's story, it's very basic storytelling, but I also have to admit that you do feel that diabolical atmosphere throughout the reading.

I felt that the protagonist should disappear from that bottle, because something ugly was just around the corner. The author plays with the fear of the unknown, of not knowing what the devil has in store for you for using his services.

Not that it was the best story I've read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This Scottish writer has already earned a place in my library, I will definitely keep reading more about him.
