COME SI FA A VIVERE UNA VITA PIENA DI NIENTE
Ricardo Darín protagonista di 'El secreto de sus ojos', regia di Juan José Campanella, 2009.
Con una scrittura semplice ed efficace, senza picchi, ma anche senza momenti di stanca o frenetiche accelerazioni, Sacheri racconta tante storie in una: una grande storia d'amore iniziata male e finita peggio, accanto a un'altra grande storia d'amore iniziata bene e finita meglio – un delitto, un'indagine, un colpo di fortuna colossale, una vendetta eterna – la

I appreciated the subtle art of this tale of compromised justice and unfulfilled love in the context of life under the brutal regime in Argentina in the 60’s and 70’s. Benjamín Chaparro is an administrative clerk who helps coordinate judicial oversight of criminal cases in Buenos Aires. In his retirement he takes up the task of making a novel about an old case that changed his life and moved him to action beyond just a cog in a machine. In the process we get a wonderful example of acting on basi...more

'The brevity or prolonging the life of a human being depends primarily on the flow of pain that person is forced to endure.'
----Eduardo Sacheri
Eduardo Sacheri, an Argentinean author, has penned a gripping novel, The Secret in Their Eyes which has later been translated into English after this book's movie adaption won an Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2010. So they call it 'the novel that became an Oscar-winning film', which traces the story of a retired investigator trying to wri

Muito bom!
Boa história, boa escrita, gostei imenso.
Mais que um policial, o livro trata sobretudo da história do protagonista, Benjamín Chaparro, um funcionário judicial reformado que se aventura na escrita. Os capítulos vão alternando entre um narrador que nos descreve o presente de Chaparro, incluindo as suas dúvidas existenciais, e o próprio Chaparro que escreve, na primeira pessoa, a história de um homicídio que ocorreu 30 anos atrás e na qual esteve envolvido, p

En este momento soy un desastre de emociones y me cuesta poner en palabras todo lo que me generó este libro.
Sólo puedo decir que tiene una de las prosas más bellas que tuve el placer y el honor de leer, que es completamente distinta a la película, que el final es aún más desgarrador y que, por supuesto, tienen que leerlo porque, en serio, es una experiencia única. Pronto haré una reseña en el canal o hablaré más detalladamente en el wrap up!

This book was amazing. I am amazed that a mystery with such an intricate plot could have been made into a movie, and an Oscar winning movie to boot! Sacheri's book rates as my top mystery of the year, maybe even longer.
Recently retired judicial officer Benjamín Chaparro has decided to begin his retirement by writing a book. His reasons are twofold; to purge himself of the 30 year-old cold case that has dogged his career, and also to provide an excuse for frequent visits to a coworker that he has

La pregunda de sus ojos - I like the sound of the Spanish title, the melodic twang that tempts me to put on an album by Astor Piazzolla in the background. I knew what to expect, after watching (and loving) the movie version that won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Actually, I wish I had discovered the book before seeing the movie, because some of the urgency and some of the surprising revelations are lost in a second reading. I understand Eduardo Sacherri actually worked on the script, s

Outra, a história de um crime passional e do que gira à sua volta, (in)justiça e vingança, e que é o assunto do livro que Chaparro está a escrever, crime a que esteve ligado no exercício da sua profissão.

Como suele ocurrir con las adaptaciones a cine, el leer El secreto de sus ojos es inseparable de compararlo con la película.

Having watched the film, I thought that I wouldn&'t be as engaged with the book because I knew more or less how the story was going to unravel. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Nesta história, temos como narrador Benjamín Chaparro, na altura vice-secretário num tribunal argentino, que nos vai contar a história de um homicídio que o vai afectar de forma inimaginável. De tal forma que, apenas trinta anos após os acontecimentos, é que ele, entre

Luego de haber visto la película y empezado el libro, encontré varias diferencias, por ejemplo: el apellido de Benjamín es Espósito en la película (Darín) y no Chaparro, el de Irene es Menéndez (Villamil) y no Hornos. Eso hacía que se me dificultara quién era quién, ya que cuando hay película de por medio suelo imaginarme la cara de los personajes mientras leo.

This author employs some stylistic affectations ranging from the merely distracting to the downright annoying. The worst of these quirks is the frequent interruptions from the main character (narrator) so he can tell you about his writing process. These constant shifts made it impossible for me to follow the thread of the narrative.
I was also put off by the excessive use of foul language. I'm not bothered by it in small doses, but this book is loaded with f-bombs, and the word 'asshole' is used

Benjamín Chaparro is a retired detective who is writing a book about a murder case he worked on years ago, and as he revisits the details of the investigation he also recalls the beginning of his long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge. Set in the Buenos Aires of the late 1960s, Sacheri’s tale reveals the underpinnings of Argentina’s Dirty War and takes on the question of justice — what it really means and in whose hands it belongs.

A few years ago I watched the Oscar-winning Argentinian movie El Secreto de Sus Ojos (2009; vt The Secret in Their Eyes), and absolutely adored it -- I bored people by recommending it to them not once or twice but incessantly. (For the same reason, I've avoided the 2015 Hollywood remake.) At the time I was startled to find there was no English-language translation of the novel upon which the movie was based, but I discovered recently that Other Press had corrected this oversight.

Leído el libro y visto la película. Con una misma idea central ambos son diferentes, tanto en su desarrollo como en su final. Por regla general me gusta más el libro que su adaptación cinematográfica. No es así en esta ocasión. Habiendo disfrutado mucho de la audiolectura, creo que la película es más impactante. Me quedo muy satisfecha con ambas.

Eduardo Sacheri Cuentos De Futbol

Beautiful writing (or possibly translation - I'm never quite sure when I'm reading a book in translation, but I suppose the original works must be well-written or the translation wouldn't be). The main character is a flawed individual who is at times bland, at times frustrating, but who we get to know better over the course of the story. The story itself is slow to develop, but ultimately satisfying.
