Víctor liked an answer about Buddenbrooks: Of the three main brothers - Tony, Christian and Thomas -, who do you think has the main role for the most part of the novel and why? As much as I would like to say Tony, since she obviously is my favourite character, I think you have to acknowledge how all of them contribute their part to the story. One thing that does differentiate "Buddenbrooks" from many other novels, though, i See Nina’s answer. Nina

Víctor and 2 other people liked Andrés Cabrera's review of Santo Oficio De La Memoria (La Otra Orilla): " Y este maldito santo oficio de la memoria que tu partida nos obliga a practicar y que parece el sino de esta familia, el desatino de este país.

“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
