( ) This is a story of Galicia, an area in NW Spain, isolated and poor. It is the notebook of Balbino, a peasant boy. He writes about his day to day experiences and his musings.

The joy of his friendship that is interrupted when the boy moves to America with his parents. He often mentions that he is a boy not meant to have good fortune. The author is Galician but he moved to Argentina before writing this book. Galician is a separate language and people from Spain. The author wrote in Galician. It was translated to English. First sentence: I am….Balbino. Quotes: “Our life will keep on fermenting with strange, borrowed yeast.” “because time both treats injuries and make trees rot.” Last words: Let him take it away. This charming novella purports to be the journal of a poor boy from a rural community in Galicia, Spain. The perspective is that of the young man looking back on his lonely childhood in a small village from his current position as a servant in a larger town. Because no one understands him, he empties his thoughts and feelings into a notebook. The narration is a simple, straightforward portrayal of his life, each chapter/memory is almost a self-contained story but together they encompass the hardships and comforts of life in 1930s Spain. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
