Review "Speaker for the Dead" [ESP/ENG] an Orson Scott Card book - by @eskandar
Moral & etic |
The more you love someone, the more easily you can destroy them.
You're about to see my take on the most emotional and emotionally heavy book I've read from the Enderverse, it made me cry 2 times and the uneasiness I felt when I started reading the book stayed with me until I almost finished it, and if it hadn't I don't know if I would have stuck it out.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Mientras más amas a alguien, más fácilmente lo puedes destruir.
Estás a punto de ver mi opinión sobre el libro más emotivo y emocionalmente pesado que he leído del Enderverso, me hizo llorar 2 veces y el desasosiego que sentí al empezar a leer el libro se mantuvo hasta casi terminarlo, y de no ser así no se si lo hubiera aguantado.
Espero lo disfruten tanto como lo disfruté yo.
Sinopsys
Within the time of the enderverse, this novel is set 3,000 years after Ender's games (thanks to a good use of relativistic travel). On this occasion we have a 35 year old Ender, who is located in Trondheim with his sister Valentine, and they keep jumping from world to world in search of a habitable planet to deposit the last hive queen and save the species that Ender almost exterminated.
On the other hand, on a planet called "Lusitania" a colony of Brazilian xenobiologists are dedicated to studying a new species of intelligent life, which they name "small" and contemptuously call cerdis. After a good deal of trouble and misunderstanding, a request for a "talker of the dead" arises, which Ender uses to explore the best candidate he could have found.
sinopsis
Dentro del tiempo del enderverso, esta novela se sitúa 3.000 años después de los juegos de Ender (gracias a un buen uso de los viajes relativistas). En esta ocasión tenemos un Ender de 35 años, que está en Trondheim junto a su hermana Valentine, y siguen saltando de mundo en mundo en busca de un planeta habitable para depositar a la última reina colmena y salvar a la especie que casi Ender extermina.
Por otro lado, en un planeta llamado "Lusitania" una colonia de xenobiólogos brasileños se dedican a estudiar una nueva especie de vida inteligente, los cuales nombran "pequeñinos" y que despectivamente llaman cerdis. Tras una buena cantidad de problemas y malos entendidos, surge una solicitud de un "hablador de los muertos", lo que Ender usa para explorar el mejor candidato que pudo haber encontrado.
Something like are the cerdis / Algo así son los cerdisEnviroment Description
The book evokes some tropical land, similar to South America, for part of the settlement of Lusitania and some place in higher latitudes, such as Russia, Ireland or somewhere near the Arctic or Antarctic circle, for Trondhein, where you feel the cold even though it is warm at home.
Although it doesn't resemble an exuberant parade, Scott's books were never like that, with more weight given to the story and characters than to the description of the environment.
As a side note and as a little spolier, I will tell you that the setting of the story has a lot to do with the cerdis, too much, and is in essence the fundamental pillar of the magic that the book proposes.

Descripción del Ambiente
El libro nos evoca a alguna tierra del trópico, parecido a suramérica, por parte del asentamiento de Lusitania y algún paraje de latitudes más altas, como por Rusia, Irlanda o algún lugar cercano al círculo ártico o antártico, por Trondhein, donde sientes el frío a pesar de que haga calor en tu casa.
Aunque no se parece a un exuberante desfile, los libros de Scott nunca fueron así, dándosele más peso a la historia y a los personajes que a la descripción del ambiente.
Como nota adicional y como un pequeño spolier, te diré que el ambiente de la historia tiene mucho que ver con los cerdis, demasiado, y es en esencia el pilar fundamental de la magia que propone el libro.

Book Analisis
- The book is very emotional, I will only tell you that you will probably cry when Ender leaves Trondheim to the colony of Lusitania, since his trip is relativistic so when he leaves without Valentine, he is leaving behind years of memories and experiences that he will lose, so it seemed to me a heavy price to darn the damage he unconsciously did as a child.
I do not justify the decision Novinha makes after Pipo's death. To withhold valuable and important information in a situation like that, where little is known about the environment and the colony was established by sheer luck, for a person as intelligent and rational as her to do something like that is completely illogical.
THE CERDIS' APPROACH IS INEFFORDABLE, or at least what is ineffable is how excited I was to have known something like that. One thing I am sure of, is that the relationship Orson poses between the Cerdis' way of being, their physiology and biological characteristics and their culture, is art.
- "Ender in Exile" is the middle book between "Ender's Game" and "The Vos of the Dead", it explains Ender's passage from the battle school to his travels in the stars and the obtaining of the hive queen
Análisis del Libro
El libro es muy emotivo, solo les diré que probablemente lloren cuando Ender parta de Trondheim a la colonia de Lusitania, ya que su viaje es relativista por lo que al partir sin Valentine, está dejando atrás años de recuerdos y vivencias que perderá, por lo que a mi me pareció un precio fuerte para zurcir el daño que inconscientemente realizó cuando era un niño.
No justifico la decisión que toma Novinha tras la muerte de Pipo. Ocultar información valiosa e importante en una situación como esa, en la que se sabe poco del ambiente y se logró establecer la colonia por pura suerte, para una persona tan inteligente y racional como ella es completamente ilógico hacer algo así.
EL PLANTEAMIENTO DE LOS CERDIS ES INEFABLE, o por lo menos lo inefable es lo mucho que me emocionó haber conocido algo así. De algo que estoy seguro, es que la relación que plantea Orson entre la forma de ser de los Cerdis, su fisiología y características biológicas y su cultura, es arte.
"Ender en el exilio" es el libro intermedio entre "El Juego de Ender" y "La Vos de los Muertos", se explica el paso de Ender desde la escuela de batalla hasta sus viajes en las estrellas y la obtención de la reina colmena.
Favorite Character
Inevitably and because of his major "screen" involvement, my favorite character is Ender. Beyond his constant appearance in the book (obviously, he is the main character), the way Orson Scott shows him more mature but still with the burden of a xenocide on his captive shoulders, and beyond that, the way he entered the lives of the inhabitants of "Lusitania" (and especially the chaotic family of Novinha), was magnificent.
Personaje Favorito
Inevitablemente y por su mayor participación en la "pantalla", mi personaje favorito es Ender. Más allá de su constante aparición en el libro (obvio, es el protagonista), la forma en la que Orson Scott lo muestra más maduro pero todavía con la carga de una xenocidio sobre sus hombros cautiva, y más allá de eso, la forma en la que entró en las vidas de los habitantes de "Lusitania" (y sobre todo el la caótica familia de Novinha), fue magnífica.

@gangstalking the abusive account updated....
Thank you!!! The community can and will overcome.
Look into proofofbrain community! They are working on blocking him at the tribal.level.
https://discord.gg/DzA5q2YATb
An amazing community that you can be apart of as well.
Then the common people muting him.
And if people are getting hit with flags that really are wrecking them? Please let me know. I know friends with @tenkminnows which is awesome.
Weedcash? They are also taking action. Another block or mute at the tribal level limiting this abuse.
And thank you hivewatchers. You are so amazing for defending the platform and housing appeals and helping educate people that have done small little problems. They have been front lines with this fight. They have this issue identified and have removed and my chance at this account getting rewards.
And to the mental health tag and movement... This is a person in need of help and support. If there's empathetic people here and listening to this? Please go talk with this person and see what you can do.
No hard feelings. But this situation and abuse... It's gotten too old and the entire community is fighting back.
I totally apologize. If you flag this message I understand I will accept it and your opinion advice and words.
If you positively vote me... Thank you for offsetting any flags I might catch over this. I appreciate the entire community.
However... This is our stake. Our community. Our platform. We can all grow.
All I ask is to mute him or if you want to flag him back and tell him how you feel. The feedback is important.
And if you are new? I'm be happy to help you set up hive.vote and automate your account. As well as help you find the resources. We can all do this. https://discord.gg/KZPyzXwqpq is the hive.vote discord room link.
Here is my room if you want. https://discord.gg/eCbmskUJWN
The front lines. This is my personal room. And I am the ultimate authority there. If you want to be rude I can ban.
And next.... Hivewatchers has this as a problem and have done anything and everything to help combat abuse in this case. I'd like to personally thank them for the work we don't realize or thank them for. I've had issues and have thrown fits in the hivewatchers discord and won. And they have done some huge work we don't see. They reduced this to the point where it's mostly muted.
And even they are frustrated. The tribes are too. Big actions are coming. The troops are lining up. It's gonna be a little bit of a massacre.
And for the mental health of this person. I'm actually praying and I'm sorry for being frustrated. However... The people affected? And the community learning how to combat this issue? Thank all of you hivians each and everyone of you have me and my puppy's utmost respect.
Not begging votes. And using my resource credits to say that this community can say no. And ask for more avenues to be explored under extreme circumstances like these.
This is a great learning lesson and education for us all..If you need help? Please let me know. Me and friends are totally willing to offset the weak pitiful votes.ill do everything I can to help little accounts get exposure especially original content. And some amazing people on here have done some great things.
Thank hive! And thank you! I completely apologize for this spam.
