If we can't relate literature to our lives or to our present then it;s not worth studying or valuing. I liked this alot. Good.

It's ironic that he talks about the tiger instead of the jaguar when refering to the revolt of the indigenous people, showing how dominant the European culture really is, even for him. Why wouldn't he use a jaguar for his metaphor instead?

Certainly foreign relations are a constant tug-of-war, but mass media has made us all one big family, and I would like to think that societies will learn from each other rather than continue to antagonize each other. Much depends on the economic strength or weakness of individual nations, which is always a contributing factor in political strife.

This piece that you quote, being written in Italian, was more "emotional" as you point out and more like something from the romantic period of literature, with all the references to nature, although it does contain references to classical myths.
