TEACHER'S NEW BOOK; SORRY

Imagen
First book ever published; long ago, back in 1988, when the teacher had a different oulook on life, and death, which is the same. As to this point, lots of influence of Plato (the two worlds, you know) and John Dunne (not "Donne", the English poet) and his Serial Time Theory, which had such an influence on Priestley (English playright; you can't miss him: police drama). In those days, the main poetic influence was Italian: the hermetismo and the crepusculares; mainly Ungaretti and Montale. The little book was lucky and awarded a prize by a breathtaking  jury. It can be found at a click http://www.amazon.es/DESDE-ALBA-Diego-Nieto-Marc%C3%B3-ebook/dp/B00ISSAAHE/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1394616242&sr=1-3&keywords=diego+a.+nieto+marc%C3%B3 Notice what's happened with the stress on "Marcó's "o": It is not "Marco" (the name of an infamous politician some decades ago), but "Marcó". Let me give as example one...

B2-C1 ON BOOKS & LIBRARIES

what to read Many times I’ve been asked what to read. The question is much more difficult to answer than it may seem, for if one suggests a book the inquirer enjoys , it’s great, but if one suggests a book the inquirer does not enjoy , the result will be a reader lost for life. Fortunately for him/her, the inquirer will go on living happily believing that books were not made for him/her, and that’s all. The main point to take into account is that reading must be a pleasure.

And it is you, and only you, who can find the right book. Secondly, whatever the type of book we are considering (geography, ...
