Never too Late to Read Classics discussion

This month we read by Octavio Paz, born in Mexico.
The novel, a collection of essays, was first published in 1950 and is considered one of the most important Spanish novels of the 20th century. The write got for his complete work the noble prize of literature in 1990.

I tried to find a few interesting articles for this of you who want to read more after finishing the book.

This book looks interesting Claire.

I have started reading this early since I will be going on vacation the second week of October.
It is very interesting so far.

I read it partly last year, but got distracted... anyway, I liked it.
Hope others will join too.

I have finished it already and found his thoughts on Mexico and the characteristics of Mexican people enlightening.

That was fast! I just went out for a hunt to find my copy. It took me quite some time, but I knew I had it, so I’ll start tomorrow.

Claire very nice links to articles that discribe the read very well.

He seems to be well understood as an Author in his writings.

I really enjoyed the book, Claire. Plus, I am going on vacation on October 9 so I wanted to read that one before I went. I am really interested in Latin American culture and history.
I purchased the book for my ipad at a reasonable price, after checking at the library first, of course.

A good companion read for this book, for those members who would like to learn more about the history and culture of the Americas, is the trilogy Memory of Fire by Eduardo Galeano. Each book consists of a different time period in history.

Thank you for the tip. I’ve been thinking I have to read his books.
