I didn’t catch that at all on my own, so I enjoyed the explanation. At the end of the book, there’s a brief section that explains the inspiration for the story.

The story was kind of repetitive, yet it didn’t annoy me. It’s actually clear from the beginning what’s going on, at least in a general sense, but how and why remains a mystery for a while.

O cine historico ye un chenero cinematografico caracterizau por a suya ambientación en bell momento historico identificable, ya sía con personaches historicos reals ya sía con personaches inventaus, pero que tengan bella dosi de verosimilitut. ![]() |
