Attention to the conversation of the literature lover

"The Greatness of the Small
in Literature" Mariasun Landa
Erein, 2018

There are many ways to feel lonely, one of them is the lack of interlocutors to talk about a favorite topic. That's what this book has helped me in. Mariasun Landa speaks about literature in this collection of texts she has published over time.

In it we will find what this ambassador of Basque literature thinks and feels about literature, his experience as a writer and the fruits he has received as a professor of literature in the preparation and in the class. The universe, the referents, the style of this prolific work of a Basque writer who has read and written a lot, will unravel pages to page.

The book begins with an invitation to the library. Next, he will talk about reading and encourage us to write: the two aspects of literature. He recognizes his favorite books as a reader. He tells us that he sometimes consults his “wise voices”. It tells us that we need a window and a room to write, but above all freedom to be able to act each with their truth.

The animal and the character of the classic stories will talk about the children and youth literature that he loves as a travel companion, awakening in the reader the desire to take notes. It will denounce stereotypes and prejudices and advocate for humor and austerity. The program will also pay tribute to the illustrator and friend Asun Balzola and talk about her relationship with the Basque Country.

We will know how he sees literature today and we will know his trajectory, his literary milestones, the prizes he has received or the traces of the talks he has given to his authors. As a professor of literature, he will tell us that they must have theoretical foundations and resources so that they can enjoy literary texts and create texts.

He likes the ability to thrill and surprise, his relationship with the game and the ability to make visible things that we don't see. However, literature does not live its best time. Here is one of the quotes for reflection: “All human misfortunes come from the lack of ability to sit quietly in a room and be alone” (Blaise Pascal). After reading this manifesto or letter of love for literature, can we be awakened to the desire to continue reading literature and begin writing?

Six books that deserve to be read this summer
With the help of ARGIA’s wording, six reading proposals.

A fun evening

-It was an ordinary afternoon. For anglerfish.” This evening is what Maite Mutuberria tells us in this album. The book has very few texts and the images tell us very well the development of history.

From the beginning we can see in the illustrations a large and quiet... [+]


Dealing with aggression

The one who approaches this book, first of all, will be with G. It meets the images of Mabire. They are comic style images, very accurate strokes and celestial experiences that help to easily interpret characters and situations. These images coincide with the text, which is... [+]


Claiming the dignity of witches

For a matter of work, I had to reread this wonderful book. A short book that brings together feminist theory, genealogy and history, and that will surely have a lot of criticism looking on the net and, surprise! I found one, which Irati Majuelo wrote in Berria.El book published... [+]


Crossed and committed looks

The book just published by the editorial Consonni has been a great surprise to the public. I did not know the work of Montserrat Roig and the finding has been truly surprising. On the one hand, because the novel was first published in a little more than the death of Franco (in... [+]


Mo back

The report of a Basque cow was published by Bernardo Atxaga in 1991. The book has had a long history and success in both Basque and other languages. One of Germany's best-selling books was J. The British editor Eccleshare considered it a work to be read in the early years in... [+]


Call for submission

Spring is usually a promise of a cold winter nose that can come after the landing, and has been annotated several times for sleep. Promise, however, is never a safe spring in a ruined terrain. Not at least if we are talking about change or, in particular, revolution. Maddi... [+]


Betibera

It all started on a field trip with her cousin and her husband. They went to dinner and didn't go home. The protagonist went out to look for them and found a wall. From there, the wall does not let him move forward and sees two characters frozen as dead. Beyond the wall death... [+]


Time to demolish the 'Temple of the Savior'

Do you consider yourself a feminist and anti-racist? Have you ever thought that the history of feminism you know is white and colonialist? Have you questioned your knowledge or your view of non-white cultures? Have you made a critical reading of feminist empowerment? Do you want... [+]


Book of flexibilization of shells

They bring home the snails, like a rolled backpack, transporting those who need to live. However, houses can be scratched and divided into two. They even double from time to time, though provisionally, from strength to burden. Ane Labaka Mayoz (Lasarte-Oria, 1992) dedicates the... [+]


Jewish persecution among us

The sound of the door was heard while they were having dinner. The stars of the sky said the sabbata was ripe,” thus begins this short novel by Gaizka Arostegi, when Gestapo's "dogs" touch Sara's home door and her parents. As the reader would conclude, this is a novel set in the... [+]


The sea that protects us

We opened the poems book by Oihana Jaka and found two deals. One father and another son. It is worth noting for its direct relationship with the poems we will find. The book is structured in three parts:
