What is your interpretation of this short story?

The book is about a swimmer who wants to be recognized in his neighbourhood. He feels he is on his own and with a bad career. Everything is bad in his life: his wife drinks and when he arrived home he thinks his daughters are going to be playing tennis, but there is nobody at home.

Say which of the two short stories we have read in this book you liked more and why.

I’ve liked more “The curious Case of Benjamin Button” because it is about something unreal that could never happen nowadays.

CHALLENGING!!!

De
This is a new challenge for all of us. We are translating into English a short extract taken from an outstanding novel of Spanish literature. We'll be aware of the difficulties that a translator has to face when doing such a task. We'll be able to share our experience with our classmates and see how many different points of view there are and how different a book can be depending on who the translator is. I hope you'll enjoy it; I'm sure I will.   La heroica ciudad dormía la siesta. El viento sur, caliente y perezoso,empujaba las nubes blanquecinas que se rasgaban al correr hacia el norte. En las calles no había más ruido que el rumor estridente de los remolinos de polvo, trapos, pajas y papeles, que iban de arroyo en arroyo, de acera en acera, de esquina en esquina, revolando y persiguiéndose, como mariposas que se buscan y huyen y que el aire envuelve en sus pliegues invisibles.                           ...
