El Camino, Miguel Delibes

El Camino

Daniel el Mochuelo is an eleven-year-old guy who has to go to the city to study at highschool, but he doesn’t want to leave his village, where he lives. He has to go because his father wants Daniel no to be like him.
The book is about all his memories the night before leaving his village, and he tells us everything, including an important event in his life that makes him grow up earlier.
This book was written by Miguel Delibes and I read it because our Spanish language teacher told us that we had to, but I found that I liked it very much.
I liked it because this book shows how a kid that is supposed to be happy and careless about anything, has to grow up and mature very soon because of some things that happened to him.
I think that if someone read this book, he/she will be surprised because it is a very deep book, but at the same time, it is easy to read and to understand.

This book tells the story of a child who lives in a little village. Daniel, the main character, has grown in a rural culture where people don’t usually have studies, but his father thinks that Daniel must go to the city to study. All the book happens the night when Diel remembers all his life. How he grows up, how the people changed him and a tragic event which will change his thoughts about life.
I really like this book because I can feel Daniel’s feelings and at the end of the book, it transmited me a feeling of peace.

El Camino
This book is about a boy called Daniel, el Mochuelo, who is eleven years old. It’s by an author called Miguel Delibes. I bought this book because we needed for school.
«El Camino» is a novel about the childhood of a boy and the things which happened to his friends and his neighbours. It also describes his acts and how he lived. His father wanted him to go to the city to study at highschool. The night before, Daniel couldn’t sleep and he was thinking about all the things that had happened in his life and the good feelings that he had for his family, friends and neighbours. It shows us the life of an old village in Spain.
I really like this book because it transmits us a lot of values and it helped me to know how my grandparents lived.
