hello I am the gringo and today it is time to review we are going to talk about the country of the wind by sylvia iparraguirre a book published in 2003 that contains nine short stories in this book I knew it basically because I sold it several times in my bookstore and it always had very good reactions In the photos that I uploaded to both facebook and instagram, it also caught my attention as well as in the previous review Kalpa Imperial by angelica gorodischer I leave the link above is a book that has no review on youtube, then the bug bit me more to read it and make the review for those who are very anxious and do not want to see the whole video basically I found a correct book, simple at times interesting at times entertaining out there highly recommended for people who have starting to read what they like adventure stories not all adventure stories but in most yes sometimes have hints of humor sometimes there is one that has Something supernatural but in particular I am not going to read it again so I am not going to put it in my library which is the condition I will read it again, enter my library

If you want to know why I say this, we will continue to watch the video until the end. Good things that this book has first. Sylvia Iparraguirre writes in a simple, agile, simple way., I loved his prose, made the stories that I liked in this book enjoy them very much and especially the stories that I did not like happen quickly and do not hinder the reading is also very good good as she develops the geography of the place as this conditions the protagonists of the story the environment, landscape, the vastness of the territory, inclement weather, from the wind of the tide all that is very well developed very well raised it is also one of the best things about the book I already say it is also written that I want to reread things about it There are nine short stories that have the same geographical framework that is Patagonia and what The only thing that the stories will have in common practically afterwards is not related to each other if what they can have in common is that they have as inspiration or within the story real truthful events in places that insisted, for example, the shipwreck of the Monte Cervantes ship in ushuaia when the ship had a thousand passengers and ushuaia 800 inhabitants It had to house those thousand The transfer of the ushuaia prison or, for example, the popper gold laundries in Ushuaia All these things are also what most interested me in the book all the real data, all the things that I did not know about Patagonia; for example the relationship of the first settlers with the Indians since in these nine stories they go from the arrival of the first men and the first Europeans later until 1995 so we have a wide time frame so these first relations of the native peoples with these settlers it called a lot of attention to me

Now what I did not like this book basically sorry I am going to retract one thing that is ambiguous that it is good and that it is not good is the length of this book It is a very short book read in a day, 148 pages, the longest story has 28 and on average they have 20 pages each story so it is good because as I told you about reading it is correct and this good one ends in one day There are times when people look for those things the bad ones that it is so short, que las historias que no me gustaron en general es porque a mí me hubiera gustado que se desarrollen un poco más que no se corte tan rápido la historia Después si bien los cuentos son correctos si bien los cuentos están buenos no hay ninguno que me haya conmovido 2 todas esto se va a editar ahora lo otro principal que no me gustó es que si bien es un libro que es correcto es un libro que está bueno no es un libro que me haya parecido wow no hay nada que me haya conmovido no hay nada que me haya resultado trascendental nad auqe me diga este libro lo tengo que volver a leer y solamente esto que les dije que quiero volver a leer a la autora porque me gusta como escribe y ahora aprovechando aquí este es un libro corto y que son pocos cuentos les voy a contar más o menos de qué va cada uno y qué fue lo que me pareció El primer cuento es “ASI EN EL SUR” sucede en Chubut en 1866 es un cuento bastante interesante de una colonia galesa instalada y su primer encuentro con los aborígenes, The tension is handled very well but I don't like it because this thing I was saying ends very quickly and I would have liked it to develop a little more, which was interesting for me but it didn't end up fascinating me

El siguiente cuento es “TACHUELAS”, happens in Punta Arenas in 1897 In this case it is the story of what happens to a sailor who is crossing the Strait of Magellan and what is wrong with him, how it reacts when approached by the native peoples of that area is good, es aventura con toques de humor pero también se termina rápido y también me hubiera gustado que se desarrolle más El siguiente cuento es uno de los mejores este libro es “EL FARO” es un cuento que sucede en Cabo de Hornos en 1932 Tratar sobre el cuidador de un faro que se queda solo se muere su única compañía que era su perro el relevo que le tiene que venir a buscar se retrasa Toda la tensión y el terror psicológico que se va haciendo en este cuento es muy bueno

Mi cara demuestra que es uno de los que más me gustó de este libro el siguiente es “24 KILOS DE ORO” sucede en el Páramo en 1888, también es un cuento más de aventura sobre los lavaderos de oro de ushuaia y un lavadero en particular que tiene 24 kilos de los acumulados y que es atacado por los indios también muy simpático me gustó todo lo que sucede en el cuento no les quiero contar más porque es muy corto y es muy fácil que les diga qué es lo que va a pasar ahí El siguiente cuento es “LA TORMENTA”, the Island of the States happens in 1902, it is when the prison is transferred to ushuaia, In the institution that used to work as a prison, he basically suffers a massive flight and the authorities send a group of people to look to see if anyone is left there and one of these people is stranded on the island and meets an inmate and everything that happens. it's pretty good in the story and I liked it it didn't drive me crazy it's good Now comes the worst story for me, no me gusto nada nada nada “LILA Y LAS LUCES” Neuquén en 1995, a girl from a rural community who if she doesn't learn her lessons and doesn't do well in school, su mamá la va a sacar del colegio Fin “HABLA KISHE” el cuento más extraño de este libro y el más loco y no sé cómo sentirme con este CUENTO

Kishe is a guanaco who comes to be like the leader of the animals of the earth (terrestrial) en la patagonia y su visión que tiene de los hombres simpático “ATARDECER CON SIRENAS” una historia de amor de adolescentes en Ushuaia en 1980 es cuando lo cuentan pero cuentan básicamente el naufragio del buque Monte Cervantes en ushuaia que sucede de 1930 Esta bién no me volvió loco, it's okay, quick step Now comes the longest story and one of the ones I liked the most, el que mas me gusto fue “EL FARO” “EL BOHEME” nos cuenta la historia de un capitán que le encargan hacer un viaje con un buque viejo y hundirlo para cobrar el seguro Está muy bueno, It is the one with the best character development and one of the ones that I liked the most, perhaps because it is the longest
