Believe it or not, this book has much to teach, mainly in terms of human nature.
With Richard Burton share the restless nature can not remain long in the same place, or the same person ...
The relationships in the world of the river are a long version of what they are on earth beyond humanity is immortal, women do not age, but the behaviors are the same. The characters move from partner to partner because after a while, all is pale, everything comes to an end and seek to extend it is not the most intelligent.
Also inside the book is an agnostic background, a view which I share, in the sense that all religions that mankind has invented to fill their inner emptiness are practically the same thing. Almost all of them are his followers, but that does not make them the absolute truth. Even in the world of the river, where the very existence of that world religions undermines the land, everyone continues to cling to religion, apologizing to the old or inventing new ones. At the end of the book, as I said before, the theory of the creator who was out of tune with the book is misleading.
And perhaps the most important part is that it is a mixture of fiction and reality. The characters that appear in the book have their history and learned of many issues not previously known, for example the story of the pilots of the boats, the history of Goering seen from another perspective (rather apologist by the way), the story of Alice Liddell, etc. It is a book that leaves many doors open to curious to immerse themselves in new readings, new research.
Says my friend who saw the film, it does no justice to the series of books.
I arrive here at the end of the summary of what I read in the first three months of the year, concerning the next posting I will write a book when I finish my current book, which I began.
Greetings and see you next.
