Page 1. “This is not a story of heroic feats, or merely the narrative of a cynic’ at least I do not mean it to be. It is a glimpse of two lives running parallel for a time, with similar hopes and convergent dreams.” Ernesto’s voice in this excerpt shows an intelligent man. This sets up the book for an educated voice.
Page 40. “My tired eyes refused to sleep and in them a pair of green spots swirled, representing the world I had left for dead behind me and mocking the so-called liberation I sought. They harnessed their image to my extraordinary flight across the lands and seas of the world.” Ernesto writes in an airy, abstract, and metaphoric style. He is artistic in his writing and uses metaphors in place of concrete, tangible examples from time to time.
