Gosto deste livro porque me fai sentir como na casa. O autor denota inteligência no seu humor e sabe chegar ao leitor, tem um jeito de contar as cousas que te envolve e fai sentir cómodo. No único que discordamos é na grafia Sr. Rivas.

Un relato imaginario de un visitante al Reino de Galicia.
Combina diálogos geniales de un extraterrestre con la realidad palpable en nuestra tierra mágica.
Excelente libro.

Je ne m'attendais pas vraiment à ça: d'après le résumé, il expliquait la Galice à un extraterrestre, cela m'avait paru original et je pensais découvrir plein de choses sur la Galice genre "La Galice pour les Nuls/les touristes" mais en fait ce n'est qu'une petite partie, il y en a deux autres qui sont des reprises de ses chroniques de 1992 et 2004 dans La Voz de Galicia apparamment. Bref il passe son temps à parler de politiciens galiciens, à critiquer le gouvernement galicien, mais pour les anecdotes aux touristes on repassera donc.
A lire si vous êtes galiciens ou que vous vous passionnez pour la politique galicienne de 1992 à 2004, sinon passez votre chemin et dévorez plutôt ses fictions qui sont beaucoup mieux écrites.
