John ForbesNash in an American mathematician who wins the “Nobel” in 1994. He makes investigations of a lot of things but the most famous is about work in groups.
There is a film based in his life (but with some not-real parts, isn’t exactly a biography) called “A Beautiful Mind” (una Mente Maravillosa).
He was borned in Bluefield, West Virginia in the USA the 13th of June of 1928. Now he is 84 years old.
One thing that makes him special is that he suffers Schizophrenia, a mental illness that makes to the ill imagine persons and finally he don’t know who is real and who isn’t.
I think that Nash is a very interesting person but it’s very difficult talk about him in English because I haven’t the technical vocabulary that I need.

But he is a person that I think is very peculiar and who have to be knew.

Tales of mystery and imagination


I have read the book “tales of mystery and imagination”, writed by Edgar Allan Poe. This book has 6 stories: “You are the man”, “The golden bug”, “The stolen letter”, ”The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “Down into the Maelstrom” and “The Pit and the Pendulum”.
I like a lot the tales by Poe because he creates a tension on the story that I like a lot.
Stories that I most like of this book are´: “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The golden Bug” althroug this stories aren't scary.
In the first one I like a lot the detective who solves the crimes using the logic. In the second one I like the story and how the friend of the main character finds the treasure.
And of Poe I can say that he was borned in 1909 and he died in 1949, when he was fourty years old.
He had a hard life, with a lot of drugs and depression, he was a little crazy.
Was the first writer who tried live only writing, because on this time every writers were journalists too.
He didn't gets his objetive but he tried....
I like a lot the Poe's tales and I want to read all the tales in spanish because I think that I will undertand and enjoy more.
