"One famous photo that surprises me"

Sudan famine, UN food camp (1994) 

  The photografer that taken this image was Kevin Carter (born in South Africa) and he won the "Pulitzer Prize" for this image taken in 1994 in Sudan (in the northeast of Africa). this photo shows a child which is near to hunger death and behind him is a vulture waiting that he die to eat him. 

 Really I don't like this photo, but I surprice of the brutallity of the image but I must to admit  that it is the raw reality in Africa. 

   now I speak to you something about Sudan.  This is a very poor country of Africa and it gets food help from other countries of the world, but it is still insufficient to feed the whole population, moreover the trouble is not the famine in itself but the incompetence of the people to get its own food, cause of lack of knowledge to farm and to breed animals, also because the lack of water for those activities, (not even safe water to drink).

   these image was so brutal that the photografer suicided due to remorse for not have helped the child in these moment.

till the next week, goodbye.

Literature and books in my childhood.

     Hi, today I will speak about the literature that I read when I was a boy.

  I read many books in my childhood, especially books about mythology, (Greek and Egyptian mythology), heroes, monsters, gods, witches and knights, (when I was 10 to 13).

     Later of this I read about all above this world (and also out of this world).  Technology, religions of the world, anthropology, math, ancient literacy, fiction science, universal History, Chile History, physics, metaphysics,  epic literacy, Earth sciences, astronomy, (mythology from whole world), Philosophy, among another things.

     I can´t to know how many books I have read in my life, I only know that they are too many, I wild need much time to count them.

    I don´t have a favorite writer, I can´t to choice only one, for this reason I will name some of them:  Dante Alighieri, J.J. Benitez, Khalil Gibran, Nietzsche, Kafka, Poe, and other more.

  
    My favorite book is “The Divine Comedy” of Dante Alighieri, but also like too much, “The Madman” of Khalil Gibran, and the “Trojan horses” of J.J. Benitez.

                                                Dante and the hell, Purgatory and Heaven.

    My favorite character from literature is “Khalil the heretic” form the book “Rebellious Spirits” of Khalil Gibran.

    I will tell you about about “The madman”.  This is a little book full of short stories which are narrated for a madman, I read this book in only two hours, 4 or 5 years ago but still I am digesting it.  The curious of the story is that nobody recommended it to me; this book arrived to my hand by its own will, (I took it randomly from the Puerto Montt´s library).

                       

    Till the next week. Bye.
