How To Make A Cake To Look Like Balet Shoe

We, the Drowned

We, the drowning of Carsten Jensen is a good billet of almost 700 pages but reads well, with interest and such. Marstal tells the story of a Danish fishing village for a hundred years or less from 1848 to 1945, which is changing the Crew ancient to modern, when it left the sail and through the steam came the diesel engine, and when they moved the great sea routes. The book follows the history and background of change in the Danish society, including the sailors and the people who lived it centering on the lives of certain characters of the people that their lives are intertwined over time, and it is this structure that traps the river novel, with quirky characters that have characteristics of archetypes to serve as a reflection of the times that the author tries to reflect towards the end but perhaps the argument for the characters weave a bit forced, you're engaged and it works perfectly. We also have to add that the book is full of ships and seafaring adventure, a genre with an audience of their own, the truth is that they are interesting even for people like me who would not say I am the sea, like much of coastal , the sea is that which is right next to the beach, but more in not that we cause much interest, and the way in even just the idea makes us dizzy rolling of ships, sea or land in or within, right there on the coast, tumbadito on the beach and we do well ... Anyway, not bad, very useful.
