review 1: Reseña de ; La Gitanilla:Cuenta la historia de una niña que es "secuestrada" por una gitana, que se hacia pasar por su abuela ,la cual la crio durante quince años y le enseño todo tipo de costumbres gitanas,trucos y cosas que siempre hicieran que tanto ella como su "abuela" quedaran bien paradas.Su Nombre era "Preciosa". era muy hermosa y enamoraba a todo hombre que la mirara. El libro comienza a ponerse interesante casi a la mitad ,cuando PRECIOSA, conoce a un chico llamado Andrés que se enamora de ella, el por el solo motivo de enamorarla decide dejar toda su vida atras para empezar una junto a ella. Poco a Poco ,ella va tomandole cariño.Un dia , al chico se lo llevan preso y “Preciosa” la bella gitana lo intenta ayudar.Al final el es liberado y tras el reconoc... moreimiento de su verdadera condición, la novela termina con la boda de ambos.MI OPINION PERSONAL: la verdad que el libro , si bien era una historia entretenida no es de mis novelas favoritas pero mi desicion es que debe ser calificada con 2 estrelllas.se me volvio algo densa al momento de continuar la lectura ,ya que habia una gran mencion de palabras que no estoy acostumbrada a escuchar o leer.
review 2: So this is one of those stories from the 18th century full of morals and under covered hate for minorities... the little gipsy girl that was more cleaver than any other gypsy girl of the bunch and was raised by her "grandma". There is this noble guy that fell in love with her and because of her request has to give up on his wealthy life and join the gypsies on their crusades of stealing people from town to town and being dishonest just like a gypsy can be (for christ sake). Oh, then he ends up killing a man because he dishonored him and gets sent to jail, until everybody recognizes he was after all a noble man so of course he doesn't have to die for killing another man because it was a honor business. Also turns out the very bright gypsy girl was never a gypsy! She was stolen by the woman she called grandma from a also wealthy and noble family and at the end of it everybody is noble and happy and deny all their gypsy background of misfortune. Seriously Cervantes? This story can still be called as "an ok book" because of his ability to captivate you because all the moral inside this book is based on prejudice. less
