Loción de lengua

Tired of explaining the most elementary grammatical and literary concepts in class, without a poorly motivated student just assimilating them, Juan Ramón Torregrosa came up with the idea of ??writing, as a game, a series of micro-stories, grammar stories or whatever you want to call them in around these concepts that are now brought together in this work. Divided into several sections according to your intention, both in A Game of Mirrors, where passages from famous literary works are recreated, as well as in Exercises in Rhetoric or Grammar Stories, in which rhetorical resources and grammatical elements become protagonists, wit and humor makes them accessible and takes them away from the aridity of manuals and textbooks. This "salad or silva of various lessons" is completed with upside-down sonnets, tenths to Violante, etopeia, homonyms and other verbal artifacts that refer us to Quevedo's satirical concept, to Ramón Gómez de la Serna's greguerías or to the unforgettable Exercises of Raymond Queneau style. Tongue Lotion is a book that, as a whole, following the classic maxim of instructing delighting, invites you to refresh grammatical and literary concepts, to re-read famous works in another way or to put into practice the immense expressive possibilities of our language. It is also a work that exudes wit and irony, and, above all, knowledge and love for the Spanish Language and Literature. An optimal book, of course, for students because of what it contains on language teaching and a literary party for any reader.
