THE BEST AND VERY INTERESTING

A FRIEND OF MINE, LET ME READ THE BOOK AND NOW AND DESPERATLY NEED TO HAVE THIS GREAT BOOK IN MY COLLECTION

More Vazquez Figueroa books in English!

Cienfuegos is yet again another fantastic book from this Canarian author.I taught myself Spanish translating a book by Alberto Vazquez Figueroa - Iguana, and as yet haven't managed to put one of his books down. The Yaiza trilogy was completely unmissable (especially as I was in the Canary Islands when I read them), Sicaro, Tierra Virgen, Ebano, Marfil, and as for Tuareg.......WOW!This author has also invented a fully functioning system for purifying salt water into drinking water and deserves recognition beyond the soil of Spain for his achievements, plus support to finance the solution to one of the most acute problems on this planet - drought and the human misery and suffering it causes. As far as I know Plaza and Janes have not translated all of his books into English and I wish they would. Then his work could reach a much larger audience, all of whom would surely benefit from his breathtaking writing, astute observations of the world and its people, the emotional roller coaster he is able to create with his words, and his experience from his time travelling as a journalist.I am translating Tuareg for some friends as they are desperate to read it.I know that one book - Ebano - was turned into a film with Michael Caine (Ashanti) but all these books deserve a far wider readership than they currently have.My opinion: if you find a book or anything written by this man, read it. I learnt his language so that I could read his work and have never regretted a moment of it.Gracias, Alberto. Y más libros, por favor!
