Hello!!!

I'll tell you about my favorite book today! When I was young, my grandfather had a library in Santiago, in this place there were many books of all kinds, but one called my attention: "Swallow of winter" by Victor Domingo Silva.

Víctor Domingo Silva was a Chilean poet and artist, wrote many novels and received many prizes of literature. Winter Swallow is first published in 1912 as a "leaflet" in a magazine.

This romantic novel unfolds in a state called "The Rosales" where two brothers lived alone, after the death of their parents (Jose Antonio and Anita). A neighboring family, resident in the "Painahuén" hacienda, received, during the summer, visits from Santiago. (Graciela and Felix). Because of this, the protagonist falls in love, however, Graciela, a liberal woman, tries to get away from Jose Antonio. The story becomes interesting because the author narrates details, smells, sensations. I think what I really like is that you can imagine the story as if you were living it.

The important thing of this text is that, using "romantic love", it speaks of a woman who makes her own decisions.

Finally, she chooses to live in the countryside with her love, but first, she solves her life in the city. It is difficult to do an analytical analysis of this book because it must be understood in a social context. It is for this reason that I prefer to stay with the aesthetics of the narrative and its details.
