Truce
MARIO BENEDETTI
| SYNOPSIS |
| Published in 1960 , the truce is the work of Mario Benedetti has gained acclaim. The gray daily routine, marked by frustration and lack of prospects for the urban middle class, permeates the pages of this novel, which, in the form of a diary, narrates a short life of an employee who is widowed, approaching retirement, whose existence is divided between office, home, coffee and a precarious family life dominated by a difficult relationship with some children and adults. An unexpected love affair, which seems to offer the player a horizon of freedom and personal happiness is tragically interrupted and will just be a paragraph? A truce? in their daily struggle against boredom, loneliness and the inexorable passing of time. |
From the first time that I approached this book, I felt a special connection with her. Sometimes I come to think that was written for guys like me. And with that conviction I reread it a second time. One day I heard that if a work lingered in our memory, that good work was irreversibly or irretrievably bad. After reading many authors, having spent the time, I still remember the lines of Mario as almost as if it were yesterday. Perhaps not a masterpiece, but of those that are worth reading, or at least so it seemed to me. For each one, with their tastes, is master of himself and nobody else.
" I would feel proud having become a widower with three children and have come forward. But I'm not proud, but tired. Pride is when you are twenty or thirty years. Coping with my children was an obligation, the only escape for society are not addressed to me and looked inexorable dedicated reserves heartless parents. There was no other solution and I came forward. But it was always too compulsory and so I could feel happy. "
Digging a little about the novel, I discovered that was filmed two movies based on it, so at least is a good sign. (Or bad, depending on what works and criteria). Try to see the movies as soon as possible to discuss whether do honor to the book, or rather, he was demoted to mediocrity.
Finally, I recommend the reading of a large English literature that not only shone in poetry, but also knew how to do it in a small drop of literature that quenched my thirst in a day past of this world.
"I spent all?" I asked. "Yes, it all happened." It was a lie, but both understood ways that was good at lying "
