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?
