Cervantes knows what I like, and what I like is TALKIN DOGS Definitely straightforwardly picaresque than Don Quixote which is the only other thing by Cervantes I ve read with a surprising and somewhat unsettling turn towards grim diabolism towards the end I don t want to make a monument out of a weird little novella about dogs with bad troubles, but I was a little fascinated by the fact that, fantastic or no, Cervantes still chose to center his narrative among the most down and out of subaltern [...]

SIX WORD REVIEW Don t just read freakin Don Quixote.

Dos perros en un hospital descubren una buena noche que poseen la capacidad de hablar, y deciden contarse sus experiencias.La trama en s no me ha parecido demasiado interesante, pero es un libro corto, y deja perlas como las siguientes Qui n ser poderoso a dar a entender que la defensa ofende, que las centinelas duermen, que la confianza roba y que el que os guarda os mata Rezo poco y en p blico, murmuro mucho y en secreto Vame mejor con ser hip crita que con ser pecadora declarada las aparienci [...]

If dogs could talk in a human language, I don t believe they would talk so much about how great racism and christianity is, how good it is to have high born rulers and low born servants.In the beginning of the story, I appreciated that they talked mostly of how nice it was to have friendly human friends, the playing and resting and so on But eventually it became a tirade against Roma peoples, black people, poor people and poets artists, and so on, and a generous heaping of isn t christianity gre [...]

Lots of writers have used sentient animals as a tool for satirizing the human condition Miguel de Cervantes did it first or at least firster than most of the other ones you ll find What bothers me about many books of this type is that often the animals criticize humans with a superior, judgmental attitude that makes them just as flawed and obnoxious as the people they re trying to satirize Cervantes avoids this by having his dogs prone to the same foils of man It s an amusing book, but really no [...]

O Lord said I to myself, who can ever remedy this villainy Who will have the power to make known that the defence is offensive, the sentinels sleep, the trustees rob and those who guard you kill you Bemoaned Berganzae dog.Who would have thought that a dialogue between two Spanish dogs could be so damn good Cervantes, se or p caro, creates a picaresque story of sorts that also includes various slights at the way stories are told, the self indulgence of philosophers, and the idealized notions of h [...]

Anachronistic translation but a fun introduction to Cervantesin recommending Miguel de Cervantes The Dialogue of the Dogs Art of the Novella the point should be made that witty is not the same as laugh out loud funny, neither is satire Both terms apply to this book, but I cannot say that I spend much time laughing In this case I am of a general reader and not fully versed on the historic context of this book such that I can exactly relate the academic analysis of it to the words on the page Goi [...]

Let s face it I ll never get around to reading Don Quixote, even though it sounds like something I d enjoy.Thankfully, Hesperus Press has taken on the task of publishing and bringing attention to shorter works by great authors, so that people can get a taste of some of the classic author s styles without having to commit to long works They try to keep these books to about 100 pages each, though I ve noticed that they take liberties with font size to stick to that limit This one has a smallish fo [...]

A brilliant read This is Cervantes at his most eminent A must read for devotees of Cervantes, which I hasten to add, I count myself amongst This novella, through the dialogue between two dogs, is the basis for Cervantes narrative To which he uses full advantage of in exposing the corruptness of society Moralistic, political, funny, wise and meta physical, Cervantes s sophisticated commentary is as relevant in today s socio political climate as it was in his day In summary, this novella has subst [...]

It was also meh Read for CLit30B

I have amassed over time plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting that I am far from alone in having found actually discovering Cervantes be actually reading Cervantes monumentally revelatory I think most of us assume we are in store for some stodgy, leaden writing rife w the dust of antiquity When I was a kid, my older cousin would threaten to read to us from old books my parents kept and had never read, DON QUIXOTE foremost among them, and we would plead w him emphatically to abstain from so do [...]

La obra comienza con un personaje llamado Peralta leyendo un libro que es escrito por Campuzano en el que se relata una conversaci n entre dos perros llamados Cipi n y Berganza Los perros se aseguran de que nadie los escuchar y es ah que Cipi n le pide a Berganza que le contar su historia, que con gusto lo escuchar a.Berganza comienza cont ndole que naci en Sevilla, en un Matadero que est fuera de la puerta de la Carne Ah , su primer amo fue un matarife quien le ense a morder las orejas de los t [...]

El tema de esta novela,es que gira en torno de la conversaci n de dos perros llamados, Berganza y Cipi n ellos se relatan historias que tienen que ver con sus vidas y en ellas hablan acerca de la vida, la sociedad, y sobre lo malo del ser humano.Comienza con la narraci n del personaje llamado Peralta que lee el libro en donde otro personaje llamado Campuzano escribi una conversaci n entre los dos perros que mencion anteriormente Es as que Cipi n le pide por favor que Berganza cuente su historia [...]

A beautiful picaresque novella by Cervantes, which criticizes humans through two talking dogs I loved the way the story was told, and I loved the variety of adventures included in it The novella is centered on criticizing humans triviality and behaviors e.g hypocrisy, double life, cheating, illegal and or extramarital sexual relationships, etc The novella is didactic somehow, and addresses various ideas and points, such as social relationships, hypocrisy, education, witchcraft, and good vs evil [...]

A pesar de que s que para muchos en su obra favorita a m no me gust en absoluto.Esta loca historia de dos perros que de la noche a la ma ana empiezan a hablar porque una malvada bruja que raro siempre es la misma eh los convirti en animales al nacer se me hizo larga y pesada como una vaca en brazos.Las historias no ten an nada que me intrigara sobre los amos de Berganza y sus cr ticas eran m s divagaciones que algo con fundamento y claro.

As the dogs share their experiences and opinions about the masters they ve had during their life, so does Cervantes takes the opportunity to satirize people from all walks of society This was a pleasant read mostly due to the writing style and also because the author plays with the possibility that the dogs are men under a witch s curse, but the some stereotypes gypsies, jews etc are not really pleasant to hear.

The book was written 400 years ago in the conquistador era and it shows I found it boring and uninteresting, especially certain parts of the story e.g the witch story It s also full of stereotypes It s scrutinizing social and religious issues that since then have been well addressed at least in certain parts of the world.

Substances were abused in the writing of this novella I was excited prepared for talking dogs, but these reallytalked Cervantes tweaked the picaresque, I suppose, with his dual protagonists who happen to be dogs, by the way I was interested in the levels of narration, though, and the impressive balance between slapstick and sobriety.

Very funny short piece about a dog narrating his life story with commentary by another dog with a framing narrative about a soldier who overheard them while getting the sweating treatment for syphilis.Translation was good overall except a few oddities like talking trash.

I read this book for my Fiction class as a junior in college We analyzed the pros and cons of having animal characters, how the framing of the story impacts the reader s understanding, and how telling the story as a dialogue versus narrative form effects time and the reading process.

Gran libro Pulizia di scrittura, richiami al picaresco la seconda parte anche migliore.

A great old poet once said that, in this world, it s hard not to write satire.

That witch will always be in somewhere in my imagination from now on.

Lectura r pida

It s an entertaining and excellently executed read where Cervantes satirises humanity and society I read this on the plane, its short and easy read.
