Vicente Verdú:
American Planet
Vicente Verdú was a time in America. Of his stay drew a few conclusions. And they wrote this book. Interesting, evocative and sometimes a bit pointless. I say this for the obsessive inclination to statistics Verdú. That if the percentage of this, that if the percentage of that. Anyway. Moreover, the author seems not too wet. He speaks of America as an impartial observer wants. So fair that one closes the volume if it is very unclear whether or not Vincent was pleased with the way of being Americans. So much so that this book has been touted by some anti-establishment groups. And the truth is that the book is not anti-American. Or at least not all of it. You learn here that the Americans are patriotic, kids, paranoid, violent, and friendly as children. They like big, exaggeration, be the best at everything. That are competitive, loyal and patriotic. They love their country above all else, and who are religious, not a single religion, but all that crowd at the network of ideologies. Vicente Verdú is a keen observer. Outlines the statistics as if breakfast with them. Write about the character of American society as a psychiatrist might do about one of his patients. Vicente Verdú is a subtle writer, sometimes ruthless, always very intelligent. Not prevent us or scares us, and we are alarmed. The Americans invade the world. His way of seeing things is extrapolated, or attempts to do so, the entire planet. The American world, of course. But nobody does it like them. The Europeans would like to be Americans, seems to say Vicente Verdú. Toma, and Africans, and Indians, and the Libyans, not to mention. But fate has touched them, the citizens of the United States, who give a damn about the world beyond its borders. So the news of that country just talking about something that is not purely American. Have trouble worry about what is not their own homeland. Pretty good it has assembled, they thought. But there are also prisons, the most populous in the world, and universities with armed students, and thousands of murders a year. Each account will show as you said my neighbor. A Vicente Verdú has not gone wrong with this book, which is reissued from time to time to give us an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to live in the Empire, the one that dominates the world, making it unique in the history of Humanity: a single power without competitors, and ruleth the entire planet. As we have said, the American world.
