Sopra-vivere

A Camaldoli with a book. There are so many books to read "required" for the English Literature exam and for these two days into the wild in the forests of Casentino Camaldoli I chose what might be a bit more "spiritual" and that basically you would love more ... This is Niebla by Miguel de Unamuno. Excellent choice I would say .. It 's a book a little bit special, and experimental in the current English of the time, using what we know as metaletteratura, but actually surpasses it and this is unique because the author enters the text and becomes the character.

basic theme: the existence.

here is put everything into question, the mere fact that the author enters the text makes it unreal, like the character in the story, extreme importance to the word then, who to believe? The protagonist of the story or its author? Who says they really? What say? The lives of those? And above all, is the author who gives life to the protagonist or the story, the story of the actors who give life to the author? The centerpiece of the book is confusing and dreamy reality, I think it can be summarized in these words:

"It's no accident that this is a dream of some God who will fade As soon as he wakes up, and that both This we pray, that we dedicate songs and hymns, to sleep, to prolong his sleep? It's no accident throughout the liturgy, of all religions, is a way to embrace God's dream to ensure that you do not wake up and stop dreaming? "

no coincidence that the hero's death, it will appear in the dreams of 'author, his God ..

Surviving thus live beyond. In niebla, fog.

Well, then it is a book about the existence, can only address issues of life; those that can be summarized in three parts of the body, head, heart and stomach, which are intelligence, feeling and will. "You think with your head, you feel with your heart and you want to your stomach "." stomach juices processes che fanno il sangue, il cuore nutre assieme a questi la testa e la testa fa in modo che sia lo stomaco che il cuore funzionino ."

Spero di avere suscitato un pò di interesse per questo autore che pochi conoscono, che ormai ha scritto due secoli fa ed è un pò cadudo nella dimenticanza.. Almeno spero di averlo fatto un pò vivere in queste parole del post..

Nebbia, Miguel de Unamuno.

ps. la traduzione in corsivo è mia, magari si trova scritta meglio eh ..
