Life simply
$12.000
Óscar Castro experienced a difficult childhood, marked by poverty and his father's abandonment, and throughout his short life, he knew family and personal precariousness. This novel, in its two sections, presents two awakenings of Roberto Lagos, a ten-year-old boy from Rancagua: the sexual awakening in the space of a brothel, and the intellectual awakening, first in the library and then at school. It is therefore by definition a bildungsroman: the plot centers on a character's growth based on their experiences, all with poetic and subtle language, a memorable novel.
