history of prejudice " Alexander the Great and the Eagles of Rome "by Javier Negrete

goes without saying that this is not a critical comments or made in bad milk, but sometimes fans are truly a stunning child. And the first server. Much debate about the prospective nature of science fiction or fantasy as a distorted mirror of the real world and at the moment of truth, we cool plus a good war stories than a fool an ice pipes. And if the war stories are rare and implausible and moves into the realm of Who is stronger, Superman or Hulk? , so let's talk.
All this comes about because "Alexander the Great and the eagles of Rome" no longer the feverish fantasy of more than a geek, in this case, the military history section Ancient World. Why, those who belong to that select club, we have spent years asking the same question, apparently, Javier Negrete is in this book: How could the hoplite phalanx had defeated the Roman legions?
A rhetorical question with obvious answer: none of the ways, for which the moment of truth, the Roman legions to dust the Greek phalanx Rinoscéfalos Pidna and without major problems. But a geek is not that other, and the vision of a compact mass of heavy infantry carrying shoulder to shoulder slowly like a hedgehog with spikes and rolling several yards to put everything in its path no longer something that We put the hairs like hooks. Vale, yes, we are weirdos, but to each their own, others enjoy watching fights of market women on TV about who is the father according to children and most drool watching 22 millionaires in shorts doing weird things with your foot and a ball. Those of our sect flipped hoplites imagining burly pilum receiving rain on their coats and standing firm holding the onslaught of the Legionnaires and their gladium. To taste the colors.
With all this it is clear that, at bottom, all Negrete's novel is an excuse that leads to the biggest battle of all time. Is not not enjoy the little adventures of their characters but a quickie page saying goes: Do you begin and the hosts, or Why?
And some say at this point, if the Romans gave to the Greek soup with slingshots at what the fuss? Easy answer, when the Romans encountered the Greeks, they went into decline and the commanding generals and more than mediocre, the Romans, however, were near the zenith of its military. More than one has been the question that would have happened if things had been more than matched, for example, with Greek fitter, a less seasoned Roman general and a leading authority on the Greeks, Alexander the Great, for example.
And that is this beautiful ucronia, an Alexander the Great who does not die at age 33 in Babylon (By the way, Negrete as disease if not murder) and that, therefore, decided to take a look to the West and take a tour of Italy, by the way, conquer Rome. Throughout the novel, Negrete gives us all his knowledge about the ancient world (in fact a professor of classical languages), and in this sense, the book works perfectly as an informative text on classical culture.
also a perfect historical novel is why, in principle, only fantasy element is created for survival ucronia Alexander. Minotaur in this sense was a bit tricky, and introduced the most novel in its historical aspect in the Uchronics. In a way, I can understand this view, CF geeks too familiar to Negrete and went to buy your book safely, however, fans of the historical novel is not, and this little trick helped them meet a writer more than competent (the success of "Salamis", the following fully historical novel seems to prove Negrete).
And, of course, the story is highly addictive. Characters topics, okay, but very well made and extremely fluid narration. To highlight a game Negrete usual, a mixture of personalities from the spheres of power (Alexander, his family and his generals), along with several entirely popular (in this case, primarily, soldiers). This technique (as old as literature) allows Madrid to give a total picture of events, both at high politics and look at ground infantry soldier bites the dust in the midst of combat.
Of course, in the end, strip the mountain goat, and the appreciation of the fantastic Negrete surfacing just like it or not. There are elements throughout the book as any veteran reader are giving him clues: the meteorite is going to destroy the world, that doctor out of memory and as appropriate, the Platonic myth of Er ... Yes indeed, here is tomato.
The downside is that the tomato appears to be delayed, and that is, the main handicap of the story is its unfinished character, it is much story to tell and what promises Negrete in the last pages: the adventure continues in a hypothetical book titled "The Last Journey of Alexander the Great." We will have to be patient and wait, but seen as walking the Plasencia based writer of an affair with his many projects, it goes for long.
(Of course, if someone in a hurry you can take a look at the story "The Myth of Er", finalist in 2001 and winner UPC Ignotus 2003, the seminal story where part everything. Published in UPC Awards 2001. "Ediciones B , Suite No. 149 Nova. Barcelona 2002)
A couple of little details to finish. As loose book is, paradoxically, Alexander himself remains too vague and ethereal, it may reflect the psychology of such an element is very difficult but for someone so adept at building characters like Negrete no longer a peculiar bug, maybe the weight of the legend could with the author?
Instead, the tributes to Aristotle (sudden and surprising guest star) and Livy (the creator of the first ucronia to ask, yes, indeed, would have happened if Rome had met Alexander) I found charming.
Ah! What battle? As God commands, epic, savage and bloody ankle. I enjoyed more than a pig in an era. Yes, Negrete, grecófilo said, does a little bit of cheating, the victory of the phalanx against all odds is that Alexander takes out a pair of aces from the sleeve in the form of deceit, espionage and counterespionage, a tad convoluted action. Instead, the premise that the cavalry of Alexander could have broken the Roman and the Macedonian rearguard most liked to do it the most credible. Of course, the Roman general, of course, walks a bit more obtuse and, in essence, the final fight reminds me of the Battle of Cannae. What is not without its logic, if Alexander was great, Anibal not be left behind (and yes, one is punicófilo What's up?).

Kates Playground Blue And Yellow

When I was young we consumed mostly paperbacks. Were cheaper (much cheaper) than other formats and, especially, there was a decline in the quality of the edition because of the price. Almost all publishers have a line of pocket and, some, became mythical: Bruguera, Alliance, Destination, Caralt ... In the world of science fiction spent three quarters of the same: Nebulae 2 nd Epoch, overseas were collections of pocket Super Fiction and Martínez Roca same thing.
That world died, the times changed, as always changing and as it should be, and the paperback editions became the background. However, those of my generation are accustomed to quality standards in design, typos, layout and even translation (maybe this section might be a bit more debatable). We bought a cheap product but met the same standards as more expensive. To some fudge, no buyer had accepted the excuse is that it is a paperback. We knew, and we accepted, which were smaller, were less bound and the paper was of lower quality, but otherwise, the paperback editions were as readable as the luxurious hardcover.
As I said, times changed and won another model editorial, also in science fiction. Prima the expensive large format book (although the cover is back) and, interestingly, has also become fashionable that quality is going to gargle. Read
science fiction in Spain is, to some extent, mourn. Errata campaigns for its wide, the layout is crazy, absolutely amateur design and decent translations of Alice's Mad Hatter. The oldest
we complain, we tore their clothes and do not understand anything. Others, however, seem to be more understanding (curiously, in this section are often the publishers themselves) and looking for excuses one after another: we are publishing small, practically the work is done by one person (or two or three), total for four cats who buy these things, for four dollars we earn, and you complain, ungrateful, over which we publish what no public ... And part fandom down, and stands beside him and "whiners" (like myself) stayed at the section of rare, old eccentric and crazy.
Well sorry, but no drink. If the 70-80 could do well in the twenty-first century should be much better. And, sorry, but size does not matter (it is an easy joke ...) Why? Why, even today, there are all like in a drugstore. Take, for example, a publishing medium (for the parameters of science fiction) and The Factory of Ideas is guilty of many of the ills we are talking about, it can be put in front of someone who does much better and with similar means, such as For Bibliopolis / Alamut.
Or go down to the very small field, which by its size automatically arouse sympathy. There is AJEC whose books are an example ... in the worst sense of the word (and again I speak of criteria of quality editing of texts). For SWAT apologies have always been precisely that character and tiny craft. Well, sorry but no school. Why now has born a new publisher: NGC Fiction!, a priori equally sickly that SWAT and it happens that your first book (the very estimable "Fragments Bubble") is a resounding professionalism. It has nothing to envy the greatest and most famous publishers like Seix Barral, Chair, Anagram, Alfaguara, Tusquets, Mondadori or anything else that passes through our heads.
So, I'm sorry but moral alibi is over the size or character of the geek market. If you want you can do things, otherwise excuses. You can be professional or not, that simple. Why, yes, at the time of charging the book, curiously, all charge you the same, good or bad editing. And to Mr. Pocket I fear that all arguments end up losing much of their weight.
