Description Conducive To Books El banquero anarquista

Vertebrado casi a manera de diálogo socrático inverso. "El banquero anarquista", del poeta portugués Fernando Pessoa, lleva hasta el paroxismo el desarrollo de un razonamiento sofista -es decir de una especulación inteligente, pero utilitaria, travestida de pensamiento. A la evidente nunca innecesaria reflexión sobre el lugar del poder en la sociedad actual -que también sería una reflexión sobre la violencia establecida como realidad social y económica-, el Pessoa de "El banquero anarquista" remite también al albedrío de los individuos. Cuestiona el poder vertical, a la par que acepta su existencia como algo de lo que vale la pena escapar -lo cual sólo puede acontecer, según el sofista, con sus propias armas y herramientas. Al tocar el tema de la riqueza en tanto meta de nuestra sociedad advierte, no sin cruenta paradoja, que en la acumulación de riquezas reside cuando menos la ilusión de una salida individual a la presión social. Este relato-diálogo revela, pleno de ironía -de decepción asimilada-, aun dentro de los más elevados ideales tópicos subyacentes, la inquietante presencia de la contradicción como elemento consustancial a la condición humana.

Critique Epithetical Books El banquero anarquista

Once I went to a poetry night in a bar in Cais do Sodré (in Lisbon) and the Portuguese poet Antonio Carlos Cortez was reading some of his poems. Before reading one he joked: "This one is called incognito; I remember a journalist asking me whether this was about the difficulty one has in finding his own identity. I did like the idea, but no, it was about going to the bar named incognito, but that happens, people think new things about what you write and if that's how they read it maybe that is

There are two unnamed characters have just finished a dinner at a restaurant. Other is a wealthy banker and the other is his friend but we don't know much about this person. The friend asks the banker about his past as an anarchist and the banker answers that he is still an anarchist. A conversation ensues covering his reasons of being an anarchist and how he has promoted anarchism.I liked this book because the style is clear and concise. Even though the topic is kind of philosofical it's still

Hmmm...Really difficult to categorize this book. I agree with Pessoa's point of view with anarchism but i don't think i decided what if the irony of the anarchist-banker is sincere or it is a trick that cover's the opposition of Pessoa with the anarchy theory.That and the fact that i read it all of it in the tube made me 4 star it.

GREAT book from one of my fave all-time authors/poets. A banker tells, and convinces with great arguments, about how he is a true anarchist, and has won over the system, following his true beliefs.

I really liked the approach taken in this book, it reminded me of stories of similar nature as presented, e.g., in "God's Debris" or in the movie "The Man from Earth".However, there were some points that seemed to implicitly guide the conversation (or, rather, the monologue) of the narrative towards misleading conclusions.For example, I cannot wrap my head around the argument used by the banker that the use of solidarity and mutual help among the members of a group actually limits and undermines

Painful to read. Was actually hoping for bits of humor or at least some witty remarks about the dominant social class, but heck, not even one bitsy bit. i found it bored, and even tho it has an almost flawless argumentative logic, it was painful, man. painful. That's all im saying.

Didn't engage me.
