Thanks Leguineche

I've never been told and clarify if I am a reader or a traveler traveling reading, but what I do remember is when I was a student and I devoured "The shortest way" . Thanks to that book could travel   for   to find Leguineche a return to the imaginary world that years later I could also make real. That book illuminated my life at the right time, was a seed that would germinate later. I think that book was like a flame that lights a wick in place and right time. And maybe those pages which were finally put toward the dream of my life. Today more than ever I think that book was a change of course in me to put aside the craving material things and want to live firsthand experiences.

I remember I was in college and had already been years since I had first read that wonderful book "Around the World in Eighty Days" . Yet another book with which to cross the last page unclassifiable felt something in my bowels. I think there is something immortal in certain books that have the innate ability to project dreams. It was at that moment when I knew that this book Leguineche crossed my life to illuminate my heart toward an imaginary never-never land where sometimes dreams come true in reality.

That giving around the world always sounded to dream and not reality, but I always thought that a journey of a nature would make the dream of my life. Years later, having read that book, I read an emotional speech that Manu himself saying that: "Thirty years ago I left Madrid to go around the world. It is the most important thing I've done in my life. It was at the right age, the right spirit to devour the mundo.Era an opportunity to those that occur only once in life. "

I identified with Manu from the beginning, maybe it was for the warmth of your writing or by the tenderness of his person, but I never knew to explain rationally. I have always believed in the simple things of life and the happiness of the earth for the things that really worthwhile. I'm backpacker traveling, I like to hang out with ordinary people, enjoy in popular gambling dens and delude me things as crawl in a secondhand bookstore looking for hidden treasures.

Many of his books have accompanied me throughout life and have formed an inseparable part of who I am.

There are writers who have educated and guided me in the way of being, some have even changed my life, among that group of essential shone with golden letters Manu Leguineche. A Manu always felt as their own and too close, I believe without hesitation that it was like a member of the family. There have been many times I've talked to friends and strangers about the greatness of Leguineche and the influence that reading books has led me.

Yesterday I was working and got one of those stories that you produce a knot in the stomach, Manu Leguineche died. The excitement was me and solitude of an office blurted unfortunately no tears were shed outdoors for a pleasure trip or a bookstore or library.
