A word, two words, three words.. welcome to literature!

Did you enjoy reading books when you were a child? The answer is almost just one: NO, but in my case I remember that I read good books when I was a child, and I still remember them. The first book that I read was ''Un paseo al campo'' in the second grade, and after that, I continue reading books, I have read more than 100 books in my life.
When I was a pre-teenager I read three books that changed my life, ''El Tunel'' by Ernesto Sabato, where the main character is Juan Pablo Castel who is my favorite character in literature,''Del amor y otros demonios'' and ''Cien años de soledad'' by Gabriel García Marquez who is my favorite writer.
I really enjoyed when I read these 3 books, ''Cien años de soledad'' has almost 400 pages, so I read it in 3 weeks, and the anothers I read them in 10 days. If I have to choose one of the 3 books, I'd choose ''Cien años de soledad'' because it's a great family story that shows the best and the worst of the familiar relationships. I think everybody sould read it before die, because it's a great book. a great strory written by one of the best writer in history.

''The Praetor''


Today, I'm going to talk you about a person that I admire a lot, he is Francisco Samper. He is a teacher of our university, he teaches Roman Right, and Legal Latin. Francisco was born in 1932 in Valparaíso, Chile. He studied and graduated from Catolic University of Valparaiso in 1961, and 4 years later, he graduated from Navarra University. He wrote an important book about Roman Right, that a lot of teachers recomend it.
I admire him, because he is a simple man, he isn't superb, he knows all about Roman Right and Latin, and he always teaches with all the patience of the world, his classes are very clear, so the most of the times I can understand all that he says. He is one of the best teache I've ever had and the most important he is a great person with a big heart, he helps us to be better persons, and become in good adults and of course, in great lawyers.
