I have just one brother, he is older than me for nine years, his name is Gerardo, but I like to call him Peko. I can't remember what was the occasion for the present, I think that was an ordinay day, but I was impressed really much. The prezzie was a book of Mario Benedetti, Inventario 1 (Inventory 1). Mario Benedetti (1920-2009) was an uruguayan poet and novelist, but he made many other things related to literature, like review, comic strip, among others. He is my favourite writer, I love his poems, stories and novels. I remember to have mention it a few times, so, when my brother gaves me Inventario, I was really surprised.
The Inventarios of his poetry are very difficult to find because they are discontinued, in fact, my brother must have to visit many places until find it.
I think that Mario is a great writer, and use a colloquial languaje, so any person can enjoy his poems and stories.
Now, I have my book on a shelf in my bedroom. I love my brother, he is the best <3
The right book at the right moment is a precious gift :)
