REVIEW - Drácula (Bram Stoker)


Genial, hay que leerlo, no importa que hayas visto la película. Es un compendio de todos los clichés del género y aun así rebosa una belleza y una magia que ya quisieran para sí los emovampiros de hoy día. Recomendadísimo.

REVIEW - Foundation and Empire (Isaac Asimov)

Good. Two stories, a great first one and a boring second one. The first is another lesson of strategy and logic, the second is the link to the second foundation. Worse than the first book but still a good example of nice sci-fi. Recommended

The core

principles


His work consisted largely of what the War Department called ‘intelligence’, the sofisticates, ‘espionage’, and the romanticists, ‘spy stuff’. And, unfortunately, despite the frothy shrillness of televisors, ‘intelligence’, ‘espionage’, and ‘spy stuff’ are at best a sordid business of routine betrayed and bad baith. It is excused by society since it is in the best ‘interest of the State’, but since philosophy seemed always to lead Captain Pritcher to the conclusion that even in that holy interest, society is much more easily soothed than one’s own conscience - he discouraged philosophy.

Foundation and empire, Isaac Asimov
