Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

- James Baldwin

"El Hobbit: Un viaje inesperado", ¡ya en cines!

¡¡Chic@s!! ¿A qué no adivináis que película he visto estos días? Pues la que está viendo todo el mundo, ¡"El Hobbit"! La verdad que me gustó mucho, esta película basada en el primer libro de Tolkien está muy "currada" si me permitís ese termino. Aunque al dividir el libro en dos partes se han añadido cosas a la película que no aparecían en el libro ha estado muy bien, los efectos muy interesantes y la ropa y escenarios increíbles.
Antes que ver "El Señor de los Anillos" se ve como nuestro hobbit Bilbo Baggins (o Bolson, aunque para mí siempre va a ser Baggins), comienza su viaje, el pobre preocupado porque se ha dejado el pañuelo en casa.

Si queréis ampliar vuestros conocimientos sobre este mundo de magia e intriga id a verla, está bien hecha.

No hay mucho más qué decir, leeros la entrada sobre el libro y, (¡mejor aún!) leeros el libro.

Os dejo el póster y el tráiler y recordad que es una primera parte, que en X tiempo llegará la segunda.


¡Un beso enorme!

English books: The Fellowship of the Ring

Guys! I've been wanting to tell you about this book for more than a month... Sorry for the delay. My parents don't know I'm writing this now so... I'm gonna be brief, okay?
As you all know Tolkien wrote a saga named "The Lord of the Rings". "The Hobbit", a book I've already told you about, is the one that comes before "The Fellowship of the Ring". Old Bilbo goes in an adventure with dwarves and gets a special ring as a property from Gollum, the ring which makes you disappear, no? He successes in his adventure and returns home with the ring. But the ring is evil and he cannot wear it, or he'll get transformed into an evil hobbit.
So in "The Fellowship of the Ring", Bilbo gives his ring to Frodo, his nephew, and leaves him, going in a trip with no "coming-back ticket". Frodo finds himself with a ring which he doesn't know to be evil and with no help, except for Gandalf's and his friends'.
Gandalf tells him about the need of destroying the ring, as it's the leader of a powerful army of rings which a very cruel man is trying to get control over with. If this evil man gets the Rings awful things will happen to the Shire and its surroundings so Frodo doesn't have a chance: he'll have to go and destroy the unwanted ring. He'll find dangers and troubles in the way but, what else can he do?
Find out of the start of his adventure by reading the book. Tolkien writes beautifully and this story is one you can't miss, I assure you. You'll be grateful to me if you read it, as you'll find yourself surrounded by magic, fear and adventure.
You liked it, ha? I knew you would, you're so predictable. ;) Anyway, I'm leaving you its data so you can buy it or something:

Tomorrow I'll publish lots of things (I hope).
Enjoy the book, I loved it!

English books: The Hobbit

Hey there! What's up? You know, as I told you... :) I finished this book, "The Hobbit", a while ago (recently I've been reading "The Fellowship of the Ring"). Well, I first read it in Spanish, when I was a kid, back in 2009. Although then I didn't get it right, as I was more interested in Harry Potter (it was my first time reading those, you might understand). And well, I kind of read it but I thought about my wizard at the same time so it was not a very... enjoyable reading. But I read it again now!! And I loved it, amazing story, so well worked out... Can you even imagine, how hard is writing those kind of novels, so long, so... Oh, men. I'll tell you, REALLY difficult.
But... To the point. Amazing novel, written about more than 50 years ago, can you believe it? It still connects people to the story, no matter the age nor the time in the one we're leaving now.
J.R.R. Tolkien did an astonishing job and so I'm here to tell you about it but more of it, to recommend it to you.
In this novel Mr Bilbo Baggins, a nice hobbit who lives alone in his big hole for hobbits in Hobbiton, is suddenly surrounded by a wizard named Gandalf and dwarves. "What the heck is this?", he asks to himself.
Of course, hobbits are not used to adventures and the being of this kind of people surely means there's something going on behind them.
Mr Baggins is a hobbit, known to be of half-well-known family, as people on her mother's side, the Took side, love adventure (kind of a sin to hobbits).
This, in part, makes Gandalf choose him. Choose him for an adventure in the one Bilbo'll have to prove himself useful to the dwarves, they're going on a mission to take back what's theirs, gold stolen by a dragon. The journey is dark, dangerous, scary. What will it turn out to be?
Find out, I would really like you enjoying this book as much as I did.
Lets see... The data on the book:

Title: The Hobbit
Printer: UNWIN HYMAN
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
Parts of the book: 1 (but there are about three books that follow)
Pages of the story: 256

And that's all, hope you enjoy it!
