This is my first fiction read since late 2017. Reading is just but a recent journey of mine, and I'm glad this was my first book. The number of pages certainly intimidated me, and later on the scientific vocabulary did its work on me too, but it was worth the time it took.

Bas-lag, or at least the part of it I know of, New Crobuzon, is a beautiful world to imagine. The complexity and characters flaw-full make it all the more fun to read. On to the next read based in Bas-Lag!

“Cuando la retórica no discute sobre política ni esta dispuesta al debate, en el fondo invoca y se nutre de preceptos que presume son incuestionables, incluso «sagrados».”

“La dictadura del proletariado no puede emerger como resultado del desarrollo pasivo de la sociedad burguesa ni de la democracia burguesa; puede emerger solo como resultado de la destrucción del estado burgués, el ejército burgués, el aparato burocrático burgués, la policía burguesa.”
