Book Description

February 28, 2006
This series of essays capture humanity’s concern that we are mind, body and divine spirit, and through each of these portals we come in contact with ourselves and the world that surrounds us. In Las puertas del placer, readers will find a wonderful work in which all the senses are joined to confirm that flesh and spirit feel in the same manner. Ferré offers an indirect autobiography full of historical allusions to the Caribbean world Puerto Rico is rooted in. Other topics such as: defense for political and linguistic freedom, feminism as a philosophy, and her quest through literature to give life meaning, are also present. Description in Spanish: Las puertas del placer es una colección de ensayos que recoge la preocupación aristotélica del ser humano: somos cuerpo, mente, espíritu de origen divino, y cada una de estas puertas nos permite ponernos en contacto con nosotros mismos y con el mundo, a al vez conflictivo y hermoso, que nos rodea. En estos ensayos, Ferré nos da una autobiografía oblicua llena de alusiones históricas al mundo caribeño en el que se encuentra afincado Puerto Rico. Su defensa de la libertad política y lingüística, su feminismo como filosofía, su búsqueda, a través de la escritura, del sentido de la vida – temas que aparecen a lo largo de toda la obra de Ferré- se resumen aquí de forma contundente.

This review is from: Las Puertas Del Placer/ Pleasure's Doors (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Este es un libro de vocabulario limpio y sencillo, sin personajes obscuros ni situaciones complejas, pero que logra entretener al lector. La autora describe las partes del cuerpo por donde el ser humano recibe placer y crea unas estampas extensas y muy entretenidas. En la segunda parte del libro la autora presenta relatos que quizás no tienen relación alguna a lo presentado anteriormente, pero que siguen siendo entretenidas; en ocasiones las ata a datos históricos reales o de actualidad que agarran la atención del lector. El lector puede tomar el libro y amarrarse con el, y luego soltarlo sin perder el hilo de la lectura. Recomiendo este libro a jovenes o principiantes en la lectura, asi como a lectores mas educados en literatura, personas que lo utilicen mientras van en un autobús, en un tren, o que desean una tarde de descanso sin demasiado que pensar. No es un libro que uno desee volver a re-leer porque algo no ha quedado claro sino que con una vez basta.
