- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Probably one of the most honest and human books I've ever read. A simple but powerful masterpiece.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Writing a review of this book would be giving it off. One can't speak of 'La Tregua' without telling too much about it, without depriving the reader of the discovery, page by page, of the lives of its characters.
So I will just say one thing: do yourself a favor and read this book. It's a wonderful story and you won't regret. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A forgotten treasure, most certainly. This novel, published in a first English edition in 1969 translated from Spanish, is set in Montevideo by a well known Uruguayan author and is perhaps his least well known work. The book is a first person narrative in the form of journal entries by a corporate accounting supervisor and widower approaching fifty years old. It is at once a philosophical treatise, ruminations of his marriage, a story of his parenting and engaging with his three children, and an unexpected love story. The romance is pared down to a palatable and undiluted simplicity. It is evocative, romantic, and heart-wrenching while expressing so many life truths without ramblings. A concise masterwork best read by women under forty and men over forty.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5En forma de un diario íntimo nos adentramos en la vida de Martín Santomé, 49 años y a punto de jubilarse...viudo desde los 28 años y con tres hijos, ya grandes... vemos entonces, como la vida, para bién o para mal por muy cotidiana que nos parezca, nos hace revivir sentimientos que, creíamos que habían muerto hace mucho tiempo...Historia tán real, que tal parece que somos nosotros los protagonistas...tán real que por alguna extraña razón, nos hace pensar que ya hemos vivido algo similiar o que sospechamos que algo de esto, nos depara el destino...
