Un dia en la vida (A Day In The Life (Texto Completo)) Audiobook

" interesting language and perspective. tragic and moving. "

" I read this book for the first time in college - either for the revolutions or latin america history class. The author does a fantastic job of describing the point of view of some extremely brave women who are dealing with the complex interplay between the church, authorities and landowners, and their own class's social enlightenment. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history, central american politics or spanish literature. I honestly wish I could have read this in spanish, because I know I am missing a lot of the beauty of the language in the translation. "

" With full respect for the importance of the issues addressed by Agueta, I still found his work very repetitive. "

" I read this book 20 years ago but remember it as a very moving personal account of the Salvadoran civil war. Things are heating up in El Salvador again . . . "

" Informitive and poetic, but not very entertaining. "

" "One Day of Life" was a great translation of an El Salvadorian novel. It's crazy to think of how much we miss during our history learning years in school. "

" One of the best books ever about the war in El Salvador. I read it many years ago in Spanish and still have a vivid memory of how true the Spanish phrases rang. "

" An exceptional book. From the first rays of the sun coming through the thatch to the end of the day it takes you through the raw life of an El Salvadoran family. "

" While this is an important story, I suspect the translation sucks, because it has been so highly recommended to me by spanish speakers....... "

" A class I'm teaching. "

" Through a fictionalized account, this book chronicles the soical activism of the poor in Central America. A true call to arms. Beautifully told. Horrific in its depictions of a real life wartorn country. "

" Excellent writing by this Salvadoran author! He beautifully portays the campesino life during the war, in a style that honestly made me feel like I was back in El Salvador. Beautifully done, and I am learning more Salvadoran Spanish! "

" It makes more sense if you know what was happening in El Salvador at the time. I read half of it, didn't enjoy it, went to class, learned about what was happening in El Salvador throughout the twentieth century, and enjoyed the last half. "

" A grim fictional look at El Salvador. Good reading for those of us who want to understand further what people in the US, like members of CISPES, were protesting about in the 1980s & beyond. "

" Bleak. cut off too soon yet was happy it didn't continue? does that make sense? the whole day was imbued with hopelessness that it was a bit of a relief that the horrible event was actually not depicted. "

" Completely depressing, graphic, and violent this is a super realistic account of life under severe oppression. "

" A gripping story poetically told. I tried really hard to find a copy of this in the original Spanish, with no luck so far. "

" El Salvador. I find it interesting when a male author does such a good job of giving a woman's account. "

" Any book that looks at the way that the world puts power into the hands of a great family matriarch . . . Lupe is like Ma and Tom Joad combined. "

" Great and heart wrenching! It takes you through a day of life in El Salvador during the high of the war. Amazing way to tell the history and get a feel of what it is like to live in fear. Quick read too. "
