| a44c107 | Pedro Tercero tuvo que renunciar a sus paseos al pueblo, porque su padre lo requeria a su lado.

| 1d04919 | And so the explanation for why Agatha Christie is the most popular author in the history of the world. Her appeal is as wide and her dissemination as great as the Bible's, because she is a modern apostle, a female one--about time, after two thousand years of men blathering on. And this new apostle answers the same questions Jesus answered: What are we to do with death? Because murder mysteries are always resolved in the end, the mystery nea.. | grief jesus-christ loss | Yann Martel | |

These animals lie in ambush in e.. | anthropomorphism theologians zoology | Yann Martel | |
| 0785f8e | I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know.

Surely the fields will notice; they will rise, dust themselves, and come closer to take a concerned look.. | Yann Martel | ||

It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins with your mind, always. | Yann Martel | ||

| be16376 | Grief is a disease. We were riddled with its pockmarks, tormented by its fevers, broken by its blows. It ate at us like maggots, attacked us like lice--we scratched ourselves to the edge of madness. In the process we became as withered as crickets, as tired as old dogs. | Yann Martel |
