The title phrase is from Miguel Ortiz, editor in Blank Paper, and uses it in the article in which he commented that Delibes was given the Gold Medal of Castilla y León in 2009. Although I think he's right and The way is a book that parents have to put in the hands of our children as soon as they start having illusion for reading. At home we have been waiting for the little girl to grow a little more so that she would come to read it. For now I read it at times trying to make it attractive and solving the rich vocabulary that Delibes uses. In addition, the work is full of metaphors that the author uses wonderfully to portray a Spain that has not existed for a long time.
The work is the discovery made by children of 11 years of adult life While playing and sharing experiences with your friends. The work portrays love and friendship in an exemplary way with three inseparable friends. In addition, the three never betray and keep intact throughout the book the desire to learn and discover more things while we also know the boring life of the elderly from the eyes of children.
I really like how Delibes uses motes, adventures, the portrait of the Spanish home, rural life, children's passion for the things they do, respect and admiration for the elderly. I think that work in the hands of a Hollywood director like Spielberg in the 80s would have given to create a lot of adventures in the style of E.T., The Goonies, Explorers or a very beautiful one called Stand by me (Count on me).
I still remember when we went to school and commented on our progress with the book we were reading the whole class. I also remember how we got excited in class when we talked about the stories of The Moñigo, the Mochuelo, the Tiñoso, Guindilla mayor or Lepóridas and we still felt admiration in the presence of the Cura, the Mayor and the blacksmith.
As we mentioned a few years ago, the goal we have for parents is to try to bring our children the books we have at home and that we liked when we were their age. It has to be naturally because they see something on TV or because something catches their attention and we can guide them. Also because someone in your class triggers the alarm and can solve it at home, because we will explain what is at home and keep it in their memory so they can use it whenever they want. Another way to do it is because we buy them other books that are inspired by what we had when we were little so that they approach and complement the attraction.
The book that is being read is an edition of Destination Book of the 80s or earlier. Has the yellowed pages and I think that when he took it to school to read it a little during a break or at recess, when he showed it to the professor he said that if he read it he would count him as three of those that can be found on the Ranopla. Perhaps that is the reason why it is more lively ...
In any case, it is a spectacular, beautiful, beautiful, exciting and exciting book. I recommend encouraging kids to start reading The Way and publishers to be encouraged to advertise these works every year because it is one of the best ways to become fond of reading when they grow up.
