Reviews

[Sarita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Debes conocer la biografía de Virgina Woolf para darle significado a este cuento, que desde mi perspectiva, narra con una metáfora de vida. Las piedras y objetos brillosos pero sin valor, para mi representan los momentos que cada persona vive, dentro de su corazón son sumamente valiosos y siempre está la necesidad de buscar más, diferentes y que nos llenen un poco más. Fuera, muchas veces carecen de sentido y no tienen peso en la balanza de éxito, metas o carreras profesionales ante la sociedad. Disfrute mucho esta narrativa al ponerle ese significado en mi vida.
