François finished reading Mis Paginas Mejores. By Julio Camba. 1956 Edition by Camba, Julio
Yo creo que el titulo le dice todo :-) Siempre me ha gustado a Cambas, y este libro no es una excepcion, sino que confirme la excellente impresion que yo tenia. Es un poco viejo, claro, hay cosas que cambiaron, pero otras no, y la sicologia de las distintas naciones que estudie 5alemana, USA, Inglaterra, Francia) sigue siende ejemplar y muy divertido. Muy aconsejado
