Dona Barbara (English translation)

Summary: Rómulo perfecto
Review: As a Venezuelan, we were educated reading this book as part of our culture and our lives. It is a good opportunity for the new generation of venezuelans growing in the USA, to have the opportunity to get this book from Amazon.com. It is also good for English speaking people trying to learn our language to be able to read this wonderful book. It pictures how we leaved in the early '80 and '90s. And how rich the language and culture can be. I hope everyone can enjoyed. Romulo Gallegos was a great writer and a good President.

Summary: You won't be able to put it down
Review: It is impossible not to be mesmerized by the witchy Dona Barbara. Her misterious and sinister personality, unusual in itself, was even more incredible considering that the story takes place in the Venezuelan llanos (plains), a male domain, and at a time when a woman's place was considered to be at home. Even if you don't like the story, which I found wonderful, the character of Dona Barbara alone is reason enough for buying this book. The ending is also great, it couldn't have been better.
