Normal Ladies In Girdles

always still

Perhaps the argument "Marta" is dangerously typical reunion, thirty years later, with the first love youth. The idealized past, the first feeling pure and still-burning embers-face with this imperfect and lunar crust. The wheel of life and its imperfections and dissatisfactions, their boredom, against the blast and the realization of the perfect souvenir. The routine and acid rain in front of a shock, an antidote, the most effective antidote. History is
original, then where is the difference? Well the difference lies in who and how you account. The difference is in Victor Juan . In telling a story that others have had before and do not fall into mannerism. The merit of Victor Juan is that you know the value, the power of words. In able to choose, to know with write the words that serve to recreate and understand the world, explaining the feelings or to show the beauty .
The typical story is part soap opera, the bolero. But Victor Juan reminds us the truth, hide the intimate point of these boleros and these songs of love in life is eternal in five minutes. Because "Marta" , yes, we speak of first love and its flammability, their reunion at the precise moment and the right time of the quake, causing the eruption, but not as a melodrama, but as the door that opens and brings in the light illuminating an empty interior. But most important of this timeless love story is not commonplace, not to change a name on the other and stay in the same place, no. This novel is an affirmation. The discovery of the self, which are each, what we do with ourselves. Recover the interest and enthusiasm, have something to look forward, something to be desired.
It is also a tribute to Zaragoza. In its streets, to the tube of children and their dark hallways, and, above all, on the banks of the Ebro, endangered landscape. It is also the consistency and courage of the man who does not sell. The man without ambition, without debt, without requiring more than necessary, what really matters. Live without wanting anything. It is a novel political corruption, money and human vanity.
Victor Juan (fake bolero singer) forces us to look at us, to deal with what we have and what we lack, what we have lost, as we have become. Because at a certain age the disappointment is a disease degenerative. Resigning was to live as if everything could be postponed for eternal life. We are committed to the joy, the obligation of happiness. That is the only imperative we are born.
The intimate truth is we all need that illusion. The inner truth, the absolute and undeniable truth is that this illusion is necessary to find and catch. Kidnap, capture without the possibility of surrender. not give up, do not think there is nothing to do, not worth taking risks, seeking, keep trying. It is always still .
