Review. Desgracia or about the courses that love can take

Abstract

Desgracia is the title of a novel whose reader is unable to become indifferent, its moving content, so humanly heartbreaking and the narrative force visible in the 24 chapters that make up the aforementioned title, cause the attention of those who approach these pages, but in particular the compassion for what happens to two of their characters -David and Lucy-. From these features the philosophical extent of the novel are appreciated, and the element of "compassion" invokes Aristotle who in Poetics states that one feels compassion for the character, who in suffering resembles the spectator of the tragic event represented. For the case of the novel it would be the reader, who achieves compassion for what he reads in the story and the two characters.
