Vivir, escribir - Collection of the writer office

Barcode: 58942105 Call Number: FR-SPA Dil Material Type: Print Date: c2002 Language: Spanish Description: In our country the translation of this work of Annie Dillard is made for the first time. In her, the author speaks her office to us and she does with slowed down voice, simultaneously that unfolds a great load of passion. One of the few things that I know about the writing is this one: gástalo everything, dispáralo point-blank, piérdelo on the march, one and every time it is precise. You do not conserve what it seems beneficial for more ahead, for another phase of the book: dalo, dalo everything, dalo now. The impulse to reserve something good for an apparently better place is the signal than it is needed to spend it now, without tardanza. He will already appear something different, can that better, more ahead. These things fill behind, by down, like the water of a well. In the same way, the impulse to keep for one what it has learned not only is shameful, but that is destructive. Everything what does not give one free one abundantly and finishes losing to it him. One opens to a good day the strong box and it is with ashes. The written word is weak. The people are many who prefer the life. The life moves the blood in your veins. It smells of wonder. To write is the mere writing, Literature is not much. It appeals solely to the subtlest senses - the vision and the ear of the imagination -, to the sense of the moral, the intellect. This writing to that you give yourself, and that as much moves to you, that as much affects to you and it delights to you, almost as if you were dancing next to the band, is hardly audible for any other person. The ear of the reader has to adjust, to stoop, to happen of the roar of the life to the subtility of the imaginary sounds that are come off the written word. Annie Dillard Annie Dillard was born in 1945. One graduated in 1968 in English Literature with a thesis on Thoreau, the author of Walden or the life in the forests. After an attack of neumonía in 1971, it spent a year living in Tinker Creek, a place surrounded by forests, mountains and life animal. The newspaper of its experiences became the inclasificable Pilgrim AT Tinker Creek, by which it received the prize.Pulitzer in 1975. A book of theological sense, product of a "spiritual promiscuity", with Christian, Buddhist, sufistas, hasidíes or esquimales references. It has written numerous books of fiction, poetry and literary critic like Living by Fiction. To live, to write (The Writing Life) is enthusiastic and a shining description of the winding task of the writer. Annie Dillard married with its professor of creative writing when it studied Literature and Theology in the Hollins School in Virginia. Throughout the years one has divorced and returned to marry in several occasions. Collection: Language Resource Center
