ElPasmo reviewed Debe decirse dos veces by Rikardo Arregi (Poesía -- 15)

No cover — Rikardo Arregi: Debe decirse dos veces (Spanish language, 2014, Editorial Salto de Página)

3 stars

No me gusta la poesía, debo avisarlo previamente, y encuentro un poco absurdo leer poesía traducida. Es obvio que se pierde el ritmo y la música en la traducción, casi imposible mantenerlo. Pero tengo que decir que la obra de Rikardo es potente en el mensaje. Pese a perder en el cambio de idioma, ciertos poemas impactan y hacen reflexionar.

Síntoma claro que es un poeta a tener en cuenta.

A good book to have in your library for reference. But it fails to engage you. I won't recommend it for your first approach to Java. Too dense.

4 stars

A clear and mindful analysis of current situation. Book was written at 2011 but all its predictions are right nowadays.

If you are receiving a stable income, you have to read this book to unveil the instability of society and how close you are to it.

A plea for basic income. A wake-up call for all of us, salaried or precariat.

On doit lire ce livre. C’est vraiment étonnant de voir que, au commencement du vingtième siècle France était si sauvage et ses prisons si brutales. L’histoire est bien écrite.
