Hablamientos Y Pensadurias / Talks and Thoughts

Rate this book
Revealing a unique understanding of Colombia's social and cultural life, this novel explores the author's own life and memories with as much detail and respect as it does the rather ruthless, yet picturesque, events of Colombia’s history in the middle of the 20th century. Over the course of this nostalgic and heartfelt memoir, the author draws the conclusion that life is made of what one remembers rather than what actually happened.
Gracias al entendimiento social y cultural de su país que tiene Caballero, esta obra discute con tanto detalle y reverencia eventos autobiográficos como las situaciones muchas veces inclementes pero pintorescas de la Colombia de mediados del siglo veinte. En este emotivo y nostálgico memorial, el autor hace un repaso por diferentes episodios de su vida, desde su infancia hasta la vejez, y al final surge la conclusión de que la vida no es en realidad lo que pasó sino lo que de ella se recuerda.
